Gentle Sleep Workshops
ABOUT: This workshop is for parents of fussy, colicky or unsettled babies, and who are looking for a genuine alternative to the controlled crying and "sleep training" technqiues that are typically offered in the public health system. We have a 94% sucess rate with this workshop.
This workshop provides a real alternative to controlled crying. Instead of telling you what you "should" be doing, our focus is on giving you the opportunity to see the world through your baby's eyes, and to understand the reasons behind their crying. Rather than instructing you to ingnore your baby's cues and signals, you will be shown a range of gentle and loving techniques that can be used to help your baby discover their natural sleep rythym, without distressing you or your baby, and that help promote - rather than interfere with - your baby's social and emotional development.
This is a private workshop delivered over three 1.5 hour sessions (around 4.5 hours in total), allowing you and your baby to receive completely individualised attention. The workshop includes techniques from infant massage, the Happiest Baby on the Block program, as well as other tips and tricks that can be used to help overcome sleeping difficulties in young babies.
Most parents reporting significant improvements within 10-14 days of practicing and experimenting with the techniques taught in this program. There are no long waiting lists to get an appointment. Importantly, we only use technqiues that promote and strengthen the attachment and trust between you and your baby. In the occasional instances where these techniques do not work for you, we will provide you with a referral to other gentle and attachment-friendly practitioners who may be able to assist.
