The Process

 

Introduction & Goals

Upon booking, a questionnaire or intake form, sleep & feeding logs, will be sent to you. This will help me get to know your family, your challenges and your goals.

My Assessment & Plan

Once all forms and logs are complete, I will then perform a detailed evaluation with the information you provide. During our first meeting, I will walk you through a unique roadmap towards your goals, centered around attachment theory, sleep science, development and personality of your child and caregivers).

Foundation & Solutions

Changes cannot be made without ensuring a strong foundation and education, which we create in our first meeting. Once we have ruled out any ‘red flags’, any changes needed to day and night routines, expectations and more, we will then start implementing solutions tailored toward your goals.

Confidence & More Sleep

By the end of our time together, not only will your child be sleeping more, you will also have the education, confidence and tools to navigate any future challenges. As many say - “it’s so much more than just sleep and feeding!”

“Maryam is made for helping new parents! We were struggling with our daughter’s preference for ‘just mama’ at bedtime. It had become unsustainable and exhausting for me, we decided to reach out for some help. Maryam took a very warm, personal and holistic approach, truly getting to know me and my family, our current situation, all of our temperaments, and what our goals were.”

Julie

“Maryam helped make the impossible happen - weaning my toddler from nursing to sleep! I was convinced nothing would help, but I was wrong. No tears, no tantrums, just as she promised. The unexpected bonus, he finally slept through the night too.”

Natalie

“Shortly after we began working with Maryam, our 1.5 year old daughter went from needing to be walked around to fall asleep to falling asleep in her crib independently at bedtime and for naps! Maryam's comfort and understanding presence was so appreciated. She walked us through everything and let us do things at our own pace. She is such a valued resource and I highly recommend working with her!“

Lena

“Maryam was so comforting and able to see our family holistically. She was able to address what each of us had going on individually, which seemed unrelated to sleep, but ended up being a huge part of things. Maryam was perfect!“

 

 Frequently Asked Questions

 

  • Yup, that’s correct! We do not use any form of sleep training, not even ‘gentle’ sleep training techniques. I do not believe sleep is a skill that needs to be taught, but instead a biologically normal function. I believe that children are wakeful for various reasons, and I help you understand and correct for those, if needed. Have it be an underlying health issue, a sleep pattern adjustment, a sleep environment change, etc., I help you get to the root cause. By optimizing their sleep schedule, environment and resolving any other issues that may be impacting their sleep, night wakings will be eliminated or decreased.

  • What distinguishes me from other sleep specialists, aside from the fact that I do not use any form of ‘sleep training’ methods, is based on a few key experiences. I personally navigated life as a full time mom with a highly sensitive baby, a demanding full time job… and never resorted to sleep training. With limited to no information around ‘how to get sleep with no sleep training’, I parented based on instincts and intuition. Yet, I still understand and feel compassion for those who do sleep train, and I will never think less of you for doing so; that’s not why I’m here. I am here to educate, support and provide solutions to those of you who do not or could not sleep train…exactly what I wish I had over 5 years ago. Likewise, during my time as a mother, I have worked full time, worked part-time, been a stay at home mom (by far the hardest job) and have also been all these things at once. I believe I not only have the education to help support families, but I also have relatable experience to help guide those I work with.

  • I know sleep consultants can be an expensive investment, and sometimes reoccurring ones, which can be a lot for many families. Since I do not do any form of behavior modification, I can’t guarantee your child will sleep through the night right away. However, I can guarantee that you will feel confident, supported and well equipped to eventually achieve that milestone. I also promise that I will do everything I can to achieve your goals. If I can’t do that, I’m not doing my job.

  • Absolutely! Those are not pre-requisites to the support I provide. Every family’s needs and what works for them are different. I appreciate and respect every family’s choices.

  • Please e-mail hello@becauseofbebe.com with your current sleep challenges and goals, and I am happy to create a custom package for you.

  • Congratulations! I am so proud of you for seeking support and education so early on. For expecting families, I recommend the Assurance Call package for education, and any of my packages for after baby is here. Usually around 4-5 months is when parents seek sleep help, so that might be a great time to book.

    I also offer gift certificates, which never expire and make the perfect baby shower gift! E-mail hello@becauseofbebe.com to purchase.

  • We ask that before you book your consult, to please plan around any future travel. We also understand that teething and illness are unpredictable, which is why we added flexibility to our Full Consult package. However, if you need to reschedule your upcoming consultation, you are able to do so, we just ask for 24 hour notice.

  • Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds. If you are not happy with your service or you have found yourself in an extenuating circumstance, please e-mail hello@becauseofbebe.com
