New Beginnings Sleep Consulting - Sherwood Park, Alberta

My 6 month old daughter was the worlds worst sleeper. Every single night, she would wake 30-60 minutes after being put down to bed. Bedtime took 2+ hours every night! She woke up 5-8 times in the night thereafter. Her naps were only 30 minutes long unless she was on me in the carrier. I had not left my house in the evenings since she was born as she would only go back to sleep with me. We tried sleep training her on our own with zero success. She is my second baby, so I had an idea of what to do for sleep training but nothing we did worked for her. I wasn't totally optimistic that this program would work for my daughter, since her sleep habits were so bad. Stephanie with New Beginnings Sleep Consulting exceeded our goals and expectations by far. My daughter now naps consistently, 90 minutes two times a day in her crib. Goes to bed so easily each night and wakes up maybe once, or not at all. It has also allowed for my husband or other caregivers to put her down for bedtime and her naps. I would recommend Stephanie to any family who is struggling with their baby's sleep! It was the best money we have ever spent, and cannot thank her enough for all her help!!

We loved working with Stephanie. From our first call with her, it was honestly like talking to a friend. There was no judgment or pressure at all. When we started our 13 month old was nursing to sleep and was waking up 3-5x/night wanting to nurse. She was also only contact napping. It was taking a toll on our relationship and my mental health as I was back to work as well. We were skeptical is sleep training would work, but it did! With the amazing support of Stephanie, our daughter is now sleeping through the night and crib napping. We highly recommend Stephanie and New Beginnings.

Stephanie was phenomenal! Our little guy was waking up 6-8 times OVERNIGHT to breastfeed, so that he could fall back asleep. She helped us so much! I cannot thank her enough. She has the flexibility to maneuverer the different challenges that came up, and reassure us along the way. We felt supported, and encouraged throughout the entire process. And we have our follow up phone calls for 2 more months. We both learned so much about the proper sleep environment, sleep routines, wake windows, nap lengths, when to check in if he cries, and so much more. There is so much conflicting information on the internet, it is beyond overwhelming. Stephanie created our personalized schedule, and we were able to follow that for three weeks. Our little guy is now sleeping through the night, falls asleep by himself for nap time (!) and will nap 80-90 minutes long each time. I recommend her to all my friends who are complaining about lack of sleep! Thank you is not enough! We have our sanity back, and have learned invaluable sleep skills that will benefit our guy for years to come.

Around 8 months old, our little guy was not a great sleeper. He would wake up 3-4 times a night, still needed help to fall asleep, and would not have great naps. We reached out to Stephanie after hearing about her from a Mommy Connections class I was taking part in. From the moment we met Stephanie through an online video chat, we felt an instant trust. She put our minds at ease about our sleep questions, listened to our concerns, and never made us feel pressured to work with her. We opted for the medium package with text support and 2 extra monthly calls. After filling out the detailed questionnaire about our little guy's sleep, she created a sleep plan that seemed straightforward and easy to do. She guaranteed that we would meet our goals by the end of 2 weeks, as long as we followed the plan, and if not, she would continue working with us to ensure that we did without having to pay for her extra time. We started seeing results after a week of working with Stephanie. Within the first 2 days, night feeds were cut out and our little guy was only waking up once a night. By the end of the second week, we had a great sleeper who would go to sleep and stay asleep all night long, without needing to be fed or held for hours on end, and his 2 naps ended up being more predictable and less of a struggle. We will never be able to thank Stephanie enough! She has given us back our nights as parents, not to mention our own night's sleep, and we now have less worry, stress, and frustration. Even now, 2 months later, if we have a question or an issue regarding his sleep, we know we can reach out to Stephanie for help. I highly recommend working with Stephanie. Our only regret was that we did not work with her sooner!

We cannot thank Stephanie at New Beginnings Sleep Consulting enough for the incredible transformation she has brought to our family. Our 2-year-old son used to struggle with sleeping on his own, and bedtime was a nightly battle filled with massive tantrums, especially when I (dad) tried to put him to bed.

With Stephanie's expertise and guidance our son now goes to sleep on his own and sleeps through the night. The peace and restfulness that have returned to our household are invaluable.

If you're facing sleep challenges with your little one, we highly recommend Stephanie. Her approach works wonders and so much faster than we had ever expected.

We contacted Stephanie for some help with our 3yr old. She had previously been a wonderful sleeper but with the arrival of our second child, sleep and bedtimes were on a downward spiral for months and continually getting worse. We were unsure where to start to try to improve the situation on our own as anything we tried seemed to only have the opposite effect. Stephanie was wonderful to work with. She was patient and non-judgemental. She armed us with tools that not only improved bedtimes and sleeping through the night, but it also helped with overall behaviour and our family dynamic as we transitioned from a family of 3 to 4. We are very happy we decided to ask for help and can’t thank Stephanie enough for her guidance.

I wish we had hired Stephanie sooner. Our 9 month old could only fall asleep in our bed, while being breastfed. We had no life and no set schedule. She hated the crib. Within 3 weeks, Steph was able to get our baby sleeping in her crib for all naps and 12 hours a night! It’s so nice having our bed to ourselves again. So worth it to hire Steph if you’re struggling!

At 7 months old my little guy was still waking up every 2-3 hours through the night and needing assistance to fall back asleep. His sleep schedule was so off that he would wake around 1-3am and think it was morning time. He would fight going back to sleep for usually 2 hours causing his actual morning wake up time to be anywhere from 5am to 9:30am. He would nap anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours. It was impossible to plan for the day or be able to confidently leave my home. I had been paying for the huckleberry “sweet spot” for 5 months and nothing was getting better, it was giving me a good time to put him to sleep, however was not able to solve any of the concerns I was having. I was so exhausted, I searched many sleep consultants and participated in the free consultations, however Stephanie was the first person I connected with and felt like she genuinely had my son’s best interest at heart. She was committed to helping my entire family sleep better and it showed. She answered all my concerns, questions and “what if” scenarios. My son rarely wakes through the night now, sleep and wakes at consistent times for naps (he wakes at 6:30am, naps from 10-11:30 and then again 3-4 and goes to bed at 7:45) it is so much easier to plan my day and any appointments we have. I am grateful to have my sleep and routine back!! Anyone considering a sleep consultant, I would for sure recommend Stephanie!
