Confident Sleepers group program
Hi there! I’m so glad you’ve decided to find out more; you’re one step closer to easing your child’s anxiety at bedtime and helping your whole family sleep through the night.
Here is everything you need to know about the group program, plus the sign-up link at the bottom.
Confident Sleepers Group Program for kids aged 6-12
Four Saturdays: June 13, June 27, July 11, July 25
9am Vancouver/LA
12 noon Toronto/New York
5pm London
(if you’re vacationing in that time, no worries - there will be recordings and tips for travel).
This program is for families with kids:
6-12 years old who are either struggling to fall asleep independently and/or sleep through the night on their own.
who have either a lifelong sleep issue or a brand-new one.
who are managing social and school activities / situations without significant anxiety (or if they have broader anxiety issues, they are already working with a certified counsellor or psychologist).
This program is also appropriate (and successful!) for kids with ADHD.
My kid-sleep philosophy:
When a child is afraid of being alone, afraid of the dark, can’t fall asleep independently and wakes during the night, they are almost certainly “stuck” in flight-or-flight around sleeping alone. In the Confident Sleepers program, we work at the level of your child’s nervous system, supporting them without harsh, hold-the-line boundaries that often increase your child’s anxiety. Here’s how we do it:
we validate their fears and feelings;
teach them about the very natural, normal process their brains and bodies are going through without shame or judgement;
give them tools and tricks to switch themselves out of fight-or-flight, empowering them in the process;
support them in their progress towards sleep independence at a comfortable pace, which will be different for every child.
What parents will learn:
my “four parenting superpowers” to expertly and gently guide your kids through anything from minor worries to full-blown meltdowns.
an 8-10-minute add-on to your bedtime routine that will calm your child’s nervous system before their head even hits the pillow..
a proven system and philosophy for supporting your child from fear to calm at bedtime, eliminating night wakings altogether.
Here's how the group program will work:
We start with a 90-minute zoom meeting on Saturday, June 13 to go through the entire plan (the first 20 minutes for the kids), with Q&A at the end.
I send you a pdf of every step, strategy and tool in the process.
You’ll receive nutrition and medical checklists to uncover any (unlikely) physical factors to discuss with your doctor.
We have 3 bi-weekly, 30-minute zoom check-ins to celebrate successes / trouble-shoot challenges, and add steps and new strategies.
I send weekly personalized voice texts to encourage your child along the way and to help foster motivation, accountability and a sense of internal pride.
Along the way you’ll get printable resources: confidence-boosting, fear-busting activities and posters.
On Saturday, July 25, we’ll have a wrap-up meeting to celebrate the kids' successes, and/or outline the steps they might need to get over the last hurdle on their own time.
Recordings will be available on a secure platform if ever your family can't make it.

Total Program Cost: $247 CAD (~$185 USD or ~£135 GBP)
(For comparison, the same program one-on-one is $795 CAD / $600 USD)
Until then, please know that your child's bedtime struggles, worries or constant negotiating cries for help are totally changeable. I've seen it hundreds of times, and I can't wait to help your family get to the other side and enjoy peaceful evenings and full nights' sleeps.
