Sleep Coaching Testimonials

  Our baby was four months old when we reached out to Evie, and we were desperate for help. Our once good sleeper suddenly started fighting bedtime and it took HOURS of wrangling to get her to sleep at night, or she would wake up 45 minutes after bedtime, unwilling to go back to sleep. Bedtime had become something we dreaded, and we were very sleep deprived. Evie was fast to respond, worked us into her schedule quickly, and was extremely supportive, understanding, and non-judgmental throughout the process. We had tried following methods laid out in several books and other online resources but weren’t able to find success that way. It’s so much better to have an expert work through your baby’s unique needs and very much worth the investment if you can swing it. Thank you, Evie!

Evie’s sleep plan for our daughter completely transformed our day-to-day (and night-to-night 🙂 from managed chaos to a much more straightforward relationship with sleep AND overall wellbeing. She customized a plan to help us transition from newborn habits to healthy, long-term practices; that was one thing. And then she solved a mystery we’d been dealing with since birth: Evie’s thoughtful insight into our feeding frequencies helped us address our weight gain troubles. She was the only provider in our lives to identify our daughter’s tongue tie, and she never even met us in-person. Her commitment to supporting us through this journey has helped us beyond a good night’s sleep. I can’t recommend New Leaf Sleep Consulting enough—thank you, Evie!

Bette Jane – Newborn

When our son was 6 months old, I was so sleep deprived I could barely remember what day of the week it was. I was waking every 1-2 hours to console him, heavily leaning on nursing to soothe him, my husband felt helpless, and frustration had set in. I was referred to Evie and she responded to my message the same day, and immediately made space for a consultation with us.

She was extremely compassionate about my emotions around moving our son to his own room and changing the routine of when I’d nurse. She heard ALL of our struggles and addressed each one with encouragement, non-judgement and thorough, unrushed conversation. She even took time out of her own vacation to speak with us during our 2 week learning period.

She has a wide range of knowledge about infant sleep, she can relate with personal experiences as a mom herself, and she offers support not only logistically but reassuringly. Our son was sleeping 5-7hrs through the night by day two, self soothing, and quickly became responsive to a nap routine.

She literally changed my life during a time of deep self doubt and I can’t recommend her more highly!ß
Don’t hesitate to call her!
Postpartum is hard, parenthood is hard, and we all deserve a cheerleader and good sleep! 

NLVF – 6 Month Old

We struggled with my daughter’s sleep for almost 17 months before our pediatrician recommended a sleep coach. I am SO glad we listened. We went from 1-3+ wake ups every night, wake ups lasting 3 hours, our girl needing to nurse back to sleep and only wanting me to comfort her to her putting herself to sleep every single night. She sleeps through the night almost every night, and when she does wake up, my husband can comfort her too! I was skeptical that this would actually work as our daughter is very strong-willed and was shocked at the change even on night one. Evie is a delight to work with. Responsive, kind, and really listens to your needs. Highly highly recommend!

Evie is a compassionate, knowledgeable, and strategic guide who knows both the struggles and joys of parenthood. She created a manageable and proactive sleep plan for my baby and myself which worked, dare I say, miraculously for our family. Evie is so easy to talk to and truly cares for her client’s success. I highly recommend Evie to anyone struggling with their little one’s sleep (and their own). You won’t regret it!

Lydia – 5 Month Old 

Fantastic and I can’t thank Evie enough for all the help she gave us. Her sleep plan was clear and easy to follow, but more importantly it was tailored perfectly to my daughter’s needs. We saw almost immediate results with her sleeping through the night on day 1! It was hard to believe that this would actually work as our daughter isEvie was there for our family from day one. She was quick to respond which is amazing because if you are looking for help from a sleep therapist, you have already reached your sanity limit.

Evie made a plan that fit our lifestyle and was not judgmental in any of our requests. She answered my emails the same day, and made sure that every part of the plan was clear. Before Evie, our three month old was waking up every hour or two to nurse, and would cry. It would be difficult at times to get him back to sleep, and there were nights I was getting only two hours of sleep. By making a few adjustments, our son transitioned from a bassinet to a crib and was waking only twice a night. With the plan that was in place, we barely had to have our son cry, and he did not feel abandoned by us at all. After a week, we were able to put him down where he fell asleep in 10 minutes and would not wake until after midnight to nurse again.

He is now 5 months old and he is getting 10-12 hours of sleep a night and is taking 2 out of 4 of his naps in the crib (which were also a nightmare). He has had moments where he has woken up upset, but we have been able to calm him and help him back to sleep much more flawlessly. Our son now knows how to self soothe , and prefers his own methods rather than a pacifier or nursing like he did in the past. We truly thank Evie from the bottom of our heart, and we wish we reached out sooner. We really were deciding whether to spend the money,  but after a lot of research, this was a fair price for the amount of contact, but also it was priceless to start sleeping again. Having our son sleep better has given us the ability to plan time for ourselves again, feel refreshed after the night, and have a happier boy during the day.

I cannot recommend New Leaf Sleep Consulting enough!! Evie made the transition from us having no real schedule for our daughter to implementing her suggested daily schedule so smooth and easy to understand. Our baby was waking up 4-8 times a night and I was exhausted and was at my wits end trying to figure out how to help her sleep better. First Evie talked me through how sleep props can effect sleep and that baby was using these props through the night to get back to sleep. It all made sense! Then, we got to work putting the new schedule into our lives. Although at first it can be a lot of work to get your child on the right track, after you start seeing improvements every single week like we did, you literally sigh with relief. I thought I was somewhat failing as a new mom, but Evie regained my confidence and I now know my daughter better than ever. She takes two naps a day, if she even wakes up during the night it’s only once. She’s eating more and has made huge leaps in development. My families lives have been changed for the best. Happy baby = happy mommy and daddy. We can’t thank Evie enough for helping us on our new journey of parenthood. If you are thinking about getting a sleep consultant, DO IT. You don’t have to go on this journey alone, tired, and confused. I tell everyone who mentions their child’s sleep, THIS was our SAVING GRACE!
