Happy Families
“When our son started preschool, it pushed his nap time back so far that he was overtired and nap time became an enormous struggle. We were almost ready to give up on it, but Nikki gave us strategies for making nap time less confrontational. Our son no longer falls asleep every day during nap time, but Nikki helped us figure out how to transform it into “quiet time”, where he has the option of napping if he’s tired enough, and this works perfectly!” – B + J, Bethesda, MD
“Nikki was a great help to our family! Our daughter went through a sleep regression at age 2 and we didnt know what to do! Nikki talked us through the situation, was able to diagnose the problem, and put a plan in place for us. Nikki was a great listener and really cared about our family and what would work for us.” B + M, Washington, D.C
“At 8 months old, my daughter not only didn’t sleep through the night, she was still waking up 3-4 times a night. I had read every sleep book, purchased every sleep product, and asked for advice from friends, family and my pediatrician — nothing seemed to help! Nikki took a wholistic approach to my daughter’s schedule and habits, evaluated her daytime, nighttime and feeding routines, and created a plan that worked wonders for our family. Nikki not only saved my family’s sleep, she quickly became my go-to for all baby-related questions. I only wish I had found her sooner!” K + E, Arlington, VA
