Rest built on attunement

Gentle Sleep & Rhythm Guidance

Sleep support here is developmental, not behavioral. We work with your baby's natural day-night rhythm and cues to build rest that deepens over time — never by leaving a baby alone with big feelings.

Serving San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Daly City, Pacifica, Sausalito.

Who this is for

Families who want rest but do not want cry-it-out, and parents navigating short naps, day-night confusion, or an unpredictable evening.

What's included

  • Day-night rhythm and daylight guidance
  • Age-appropriate wake windows and cue-based timing
  • Responsive settling techniques with no cry-it-out
  • Sleep environment and safe sleep review
  • Support through regressions, growth spurts, and travel
  • A written rhythm you can actually follow when tired

What this looks like

Evenings soften

The witching hour becomes a predictable wind-down rather than a nightly emergency.

You respond with confidence

You know which cry means what, and what to try first, second, and third.

Rest deepens gradually

Progress measured in weeks of trust rather than nights of protest.

Common questions

Will you ever leave my baby to cry?
No. This practice is explicitly non-cry-it-out. Rest is built through responsiveness and developmental readiness.
How young can we start?
Rhythm guidance can begin in the newborn weeks, because it is about supporting biology rather than training behavior.
Is safe sleep covered?
Yes — every plan includes a safe sleep review of the space your baby actually sleeps in.
