Find the right sleep expert
for your family

I love to work with parents from the start but am happy to support them whichever stage they are at.

Shira is a Birth Doula, Sleep Consultant and Mum of 3, dedicated to helping families navigate pregnancy, birth, and the early years with confidence. Combining evidence-based knowledge with compassionate support, she empowers parents to make informed decisions, trust their instincts, and create sustainable routines that work for their family.

My approach to sleep support is personalized and rooted in understanding each child’s unique needs while supporting the whole family. I help parents create consistent, sustainable sleep habits without stress, guilt, or one-size-fits-all methods.

I work with each client and their parenting philosophy and comfort level but also with science backed approaches and data.

Hi! I’m Sarah Smith, a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant and the founder of Swallowtail Sleep. I specialize in helping families with babies and toddlers get better sleep through connection-focused, individualized support. Every child is different, and I’m passionate about helping parents move away from one-size-fits-all advice to find sleep solutions that truly fit their child’s temperament, individual sleep needs, and development all while considering their unique family values. As a mom of two myself, I understand how overwhelming sleep struggles can feel, and my goal is to give parents practical tools, clarity, and confidence so the whole family can rest a little easier.

I’m Teresa Sedlmair, a certified sleep consultant in Vancouver and founder of Little Trees Sleep Consulting. More importantly, I’m also mom to two beautiful daughters, Hazel (5) and Maple (3) and yes, they were the inspiration for naming my business. When I became a mom for the first time, I had no idea sleep training was even a thing. After a traumatic birth that ended in an emergency c-section—where Hazel had to be resuscitated—and an incredibly rough start to breastfeeding, I found myself deep in postpartum depression and anxiety. Sleep deprivation was my biggest trigger. Even when Hazel was asleep (in those short windows between wake-ups), I couldn’t rest. I’d lie awake with racing thoughts, and it quickly became too much. Sleep training truly saved me. It gave me back my strength, my joy, and allowed me to enjoy motherhood finally. I became fascinated by infant sleep—obsessively reading, learning, and experimenting until things finally clicked for our family. I knew I had to help other parents who felt just as overwhelmed and alone as I once did. Before all this, I was a teacher, but now I’m proud to call sleep consulting my full-time job. I’ve supported over 600 families and am honoured to hold an exclusive 5-star rating. I believe every family deserves sleep, support, and someone in their corner.

I view sleep training as a comprehensive system of interconnected elements that, when aligned and fine-tuned, help your child fall asleep more easily at bedtime and sleep through the night. I approach every client with compassion, understanding, and a non-judgmental attitude. As a parent myself, I know what it’s like to be in "survival mode," and I can sympathize with you. At the same time, I’m not afraid to offer some "tough love" when necessary to help you break habits that may be hindering you and your child from achieving restful sleep.

I’m a holistic sleep consultant specializing in in-home sleep support for the Washington, DC area (I also offer virtual support world-wide). I tailor my plans and support based on the current sleep situation, the unique needs of the family, and age of the baby.

I am mom of two daughters, who was inspired to start my business after navigating my own child’s sleep challenges. With degrees in psychology and occupational therapy, supporting families in this way felt like a natural fit—especially during my time at home with my girls throughout and after the pandemic. My philosophy is simple: we’re raising babies, not Navy SEALs. Sleep training doesn’t need to be rigid or one-size-fits-all. Instead, I create personalized plans tailored to each family’s comfort level, values, and daily routine. I work with children from as young as five months through the early years, helping families build healthy, sustainable sleep habits—because it’s never too late to get better sleep.

My approach is gentle, supportive and non-judgmental. I believe every child is different, so I take the time to understand their needs, their rhythm and the family dynamic. I guide parents step by step with simple, realistic tools, so they can feel confident and supported while helping their child develop healthy and peaceful sleep habits.
