Sleep Guides

These guides focus on teaching and sharing the insights I've gained about sleep throughout the years, particularly from my experience as a night doula. They include real-life examples and practical tips designed to help you organize your days, grasp sleep averages, explore the science of sleep, establish awake windows, and craft your perfect daily rhythm. There’s so much valuable information packed into these guides!

I pursued early childhood education while in college, and although I didn't become a teacher, my passion for teaching led me to become a dedicated tutor alongside being a nanny. My deep commitment to education has driven me to create this guide to help families achieve better sleep.
