Baby Buonanotte

Valentina is a wonderful coach. We resisted training for 9 months because we didn't want to 'cry it out' but Valentina's system is not that. Our little one was up 5 to 6 times a night and we were losing our minds. We kept waiting for it to get better on it's own and tried some ideas from books but it actually got worse. Valentina provides a lot of support and came up with a plan catered to our little girl. I never felt like I was not supporting my child or that she was suffering because we used a system Valentina designed that was gentle. After a week our little girl started sleeping through the night and going down without a lot of fuss and gradually got better and better. Valentina also supported us when our little one was sick and helped us get back on track. I wish we had found her earlier as we would have saved a lot of sleepless nights. We realized that it is not just for the parents to get some sleep but that restful sleep is important for a baby's developing brain. It is not selfish to sleep train as it makes for a happier baby and parents in the morning. If you are at the end of your sleep deprived rope, call Valentina. Sincerely, Shannon and Chris

My husband is a physician and I am a former nanny....YET!!! we were helpless getting our baby girl on a sleep schedule and shifting her nighttime calorie intake to daytime (safely!). We started the program and diligently followed the advice and we ended up completing the program before we expected because it worked!!!!! Valentina studied our family and worked with the strengths our daughter already had and helped her overcome the challenges we were struggling to do like avoiding night feeding and early rising. It was so important for us to have the analysis done from someone outside the home that saw our situation and challenges clearly. Our daughter transitioned safely and beautifully and now leans to the crib for her nap and bed because she knows how feeling rested makes her feel. I write this as she is naps soundly after falling asleep independently and peacefully.

Before we hired Valentina, our 8 month old baby’s sleep was horrible. She woke up 4-8 times a night, every night, wanting to breastfeed back to sleep. We finally decided we needed to make a change and met with Valentina.

During our initial consultation she assured us that all of our problems could be resolved gently and that our daughter would be able to sleep through the night and nap independently.

Valentina set out a custom program to fit the needs or our family. She was there every step of the way to guide us through the program and help trouble shoot any issues that arose.

After completion of Valentina's sleep program our daughter now takes two naps independently everyday and sleeps 11 hours at night in her crib. These changes have had such a remarkable impact on our family. Everyone is well rested, happier and my husband and I now have quality time together in the evenings.

I was first hesitant to hire a sleep coach, however Valentina made such a positive impact on our lives, I cannot imagine having done this without her. This was without a doubt one of the best decisions I have ever made. I would highly recommend her services to anyone with a child who needs more sleep!

Valentina transformed our lives, and I am forever in her debt! We were living in a 1-bedroom apartment with our 11 month old when I first met with her. Our son's crib is just next to our bed and, as I felt it was my duty to protect my husband's sleep, any time our son would make a peep at night, I would pick him up and do whatever it took to comfort / quiet him. This meant he usually wound up sleeping in our bed at night with a soother, and comfort-nursing anywhere from 4-6 times per night (yes, at 11 months. Even my doctor told me I needed to fix this!). I called Valentina based on a friend's recommendation and am so thankful I did. I instantly appreciated her personality, empathy and approach, and after our initial conversation, I trusted she was the one for us and would help get us where we wanted to be. Together we developed a program that my family was comfortable with, and when we began, Valentina was there for us to hold us accountable, walk through in detail and issues we encountered and reassure us we were on the right track. The changes were dramatic and quick! Within 3 days we had lessened and then eliminated night feedings without any protest from my son, and he was sleeping in his own bed throughout the night! Truly mind blowing. When we were finished our program, Valentina left us with important materials to reference in case anything falls off track (it did once, when my son got sick, but we were able to gently coach him back with her resources), how to transition his naps in the coming months, and how to transition him into his own room when we move into our house soon. I can't thank her enough, and wouldn't hesitate to give her my highest recommendation! Thank you, Valentina!!

Valentina has been such a pleasure to work with. From day one, she listened to our goals, reassured us that a full nights sleep was on the horizon and set realistic tasks for the family to take on. She coached us to coach our baby how to sleep through the night, she guided us through some initial difficult days and we saw results immediately! Most importantly, Valentina gave us the confidence to understand our baby’s sleep needs and act appropriately, she is empathetic and compassionate as she has been in our spot before! After working with Valentina, we are all sleeping better and the benefits are incredible. I still cannot believe we did it! Thank you much Valentina!
