A course to help you feel confident in your baby's sleep, and start getting more of it, all while trusting your mama instincts.
Your friends (and family, acquaintances, and complete strangers) say you have to either sleep train or resign yourself to years of exhaustion.
A way to get some real, restful sleep that doesn't compromise your parenting values.
Despite all the misinformation out there about baby sleep (does "drowsy but awake" ring any bells?), it is possible to get sleep in a way that's attachment-focused, science-based, and completely in harmony with your mama intuition.
With short, actionable videos full of holistic and developmentally-based tips, you and your little one will be sleeping peacefully before you know it. These strategies are based on the latest sleep science (hint: babies can't self-soothe!) and show you what normal baby sleep really look like.
And you'll never have to leave your baby to cry alone ... ever!
Done questioning everything about your baby's sleep, and just want expert answers
Feeling like all you ever do is try to get your baby to sleep or stay asleep
Frustrated by whole days focused on nap-time, bedtime, and catching more zzzz's
Over the stress of constantly being told to sleep train, by friends, family, and even your pediatrician
Adapt to your family's unique goals, situations, and parenting values ... and build a foundation of attachment to last a lifetime.
Reduce wakings, lengthen naps .... and put joy and ease back into bedtime using connection, not separation.
Embrace what works for your family - whether that's breastfeeding or formula feeding, bed-sharing or crib sleeping, baby-wearing or anything else.
Address what's really causing wakings ... by looking at the big picture of your baby's development and personality (and ruling out other sleep red flags)
You can enjoy your baby right now, with both of you well-rested and happy!
You can thrive (and sleep!) using attachment, without ever suffering through cry-it-out.
You can build a foundation of connection and self-confidence that will support you and your baby for the rest of your lives.
Pulling from my 15 years of experience in infant development, I consider all the variables affecting sleep, from sensory needs to feeding to developmental stage. I'll show you how supporting your baby's development and giving a better start in life overall will naturally cause better sleep. Unlike sleep training, which stresses out babies and families (and often has to be redone), these strategies give you peaceful, long-term rest built on a strong connection between mama and baby.
Most importantly, the Holistic Baby: Sleep Without Sleep Training course will show you that good things happen when you trust your mama instincts. You'll find new confidence to carry you through not just the baby years, but all the other challenges you'll encounter long after your baby is sleeping through the night.
Thank you for reinforcing what we already felt in our hearts.
"The videos were so helpful, and very much in line with our values - thank you for reinforcing what we have already felt in our hearts with knowledge about infant development and sleep, and for boosting my confidence in my mama instincts".

Kaili helped us go from nursing every hour at night to sleeping 6 hour long stretches.
I spent so many nights trying to figure out how to 'put him down drowsy but awake' and trying to achieve this magical state. What worked was nursing him to sleep. Kaili helped me realize that this is totally okay and encouraged! She helped us go from eating every hour at night to sleeping 6-hour long stretches.

Your lack of sleep is affecting your parenting, relationships, and work.
You want to enjoy the baby years before they're gone, but you're too stressed about sleep.
You sleep trained your previous baby or tried sleep training this baby, and you don't want to go through that again (no judgement, mama!)
You dream of being a calm, confident, connected mama but you don't know how to get rid of all the doubt and start trusting yourself
You want your baby sleeping through the night by next week (nature just doesn't work like that!)
Your child is over 2 years (check out my 1:1 coaching if you'd like some help with an older pre-schooler).
You don't care about understanding what's going on, you just want someone to tell you what to do.
I'm Kaili, your Baby Guru.
Thanks for checking out my corner of the internet where I support mamas all over the world understand what might be going on with their baby, while helping them tune into (and listen to) their mama instincts.
I have a passion for normalizing and bringing clarity around baby sleep, development, reflux, and more. I am a wife and mom of two, and I fully understand the importance of trusting your mama instincts. I am on a mission to help you tune into your intuition and feel like the confident super mom you are.
I like to think of myself as an approachable authority on all things baby-related, as I provide down-to-earth advice that makes everyone feel like they can do this parenting thing!
I haven't just studied sleep, but I have lived through the sleep deprivation first-hand. Mama, I've been in your shoes! My first baby, Kristjan, wouldn't sleep more than 3 hours in a row for Eight.LONG.MONTHS. I was desperate. I started getting frustrated with him at night and it broke my heart. I knew motherhood shouldn't look like this, but I didn't know how to fix it.
Finally, I got help. (Every mama needs help now and then!) I learned how to support my baby's sleep in a gentle, responsive way. Two weeks later, he slept 6 hours straight. I can't tell you how good that felt - and I felt even better knowing I'd stayed true to myself the whole time. With my second baby, Eevi, I had all the knowledge and confidence I needed to navigate her sleep - stress-free.
That experience began my exploration of holistic, heart-centred sleep. I got certified in attachment-based sleep, and have now learned about the neuroscience of sleep, and started working on my unique, holistic baby sleep approach.
Many years of experience as a pediatric occupational therapist with expertise in infant development and sensory processing.
Advanced certifications in holistic sleep & reflux.
Continued love of learning and professional development on all things related to babies (and mamas)
Years of leading mom and baby classes and 1:1 coaching
Personal experience as an ex-exhausted mama
I was relieved of stress and gained confidence in my ability as a mother.
"As a first-time mom I was extremely sleep deprived and probably even more anxious. Kaili was patient, non-judgemental and professional. She helped me identify how and when I could rest and helped me understand how I could provide the best sleep environment for my son. I was relieved of some stress and gained confidence in my ability as a mother.

Gently encouraging a baby to sleep better will take a different amount of time for every baby. Unlike more aggressive sleep training methods, I can't promise you when it will get better, but I can promise it that it will get better. With these responsive, science-based strategies you'll get more rest soon, and when you do, you'll rest easy knowing you stayed true to your values the whole way.
Remember: sleep training might seem faster and easier, but that doesn't equal better results. Sleep training often has to be redone as babies grow, and it can cause a huge amount of stress for babies and families.
This is a tricky question. Babies cry - that is how they communicate with us initially. They cry because they are tired, hungry, uncomfortable, cold, wet, frustrated, and so many other reasons. So while I can't promise there won't ever be any crying, I will promise that I'll never tell you to leave your baby alone to cry, or tell you that 'crying helps them figure it out' or 'teaches them to be independent', not for a second!
I can't promise that you won't cry though - that first night of real rest can definitely bring on tears of relief!
Does it work for you and your baby (and family)? Yes, great - keep it up! Is it making you miserable? Then the Holistic Baby: Sleep Without Sleep Training course will give you the tools to change it. Every family and every baby is unique. This course is about finding what works for you, not following the "rules".
Oh mama, I hear you! I designed the Holistic Baby: Sleep Without Sleep Training course to fit into a busy life and to adapt to any learning style. An easy-to-read guide helps you find which short, actionable videos are best for your situation. Simple, step-by-step instructions help you quickly put together your unique sleep plan. And if you're too busy to watch, just listen to the audio while you fold the laundry or nurse your baby to sleep (you won't hear anything about "bad habits" here!)
Absolutely! When you buy the course, you will have the option to add on as many 1:1 calls as you want (ps. they are discounted too - bonus!)
I'll never try to scare you into buying something with myths about building "bad habits" or claims that your baby's sleep is doomed to get worse. Trusting yourself and your baby will always be enough. This course will just help you figure things out faster, so you can start enjoying a rested baby sooner and not waster any more time tired and desperate! I'll always tell you to trust you instincts ... and if your instincts are telling you to get some help, I'm here for you. Every mama needs help sometimes - I sure did when my first wasn't sleeping!
