I’m Dana, and I am a mom of two with a background in design and space planning. I apply my skills in creativity, research, and problem solving by designing sleep plans for parents to guide them in overcoming their child’s sleep challenges. After my first child was born I spent hours researching infant sleep, because a happy and well rested baby meant happy and well rested parents. I was determined to make sleep a priority for me and my baby. I thought I knew what I was doing until my second child came along, who had a very different personality and very different sleep challenges. After many hours spent researching baby sleep, I realized I was only scratching the surface on how much knowledge exists pertaining to baby and child sleep. Throughout my children’s baby and toddler years, I came across countless moms who expressed concern, overwhelm, and stress over their child’s sleep challenges. I was always intrigued listening to their stories, wondering what the root of the issue was, and how each challenge could be solved. This led me to the International Parenting and Health Institute, where I received my Holistic Pregnancy and Child Sleep Consultant Certification. I am passionate about helping families solve sleep challenges, and getting the optimal sleep they deserve.
In my free time, I practice yoga, spend time with my husband and children, and watch hgtv.
About Me
“Our children’s bodies do not need to technically be trained to sleep. By nature’s design, human bodies are already programmed to sleep and will do so if we support the process. Our job is to find out what is getting in the way”
-Mar De Carlo, founder of International Parenting & Health Institute
While sleep training approaches can be helpful and provide some relief and solutions, they do not address the root cause of a sleep issue. Sleep training often ignores many important factors, and how these factors influence and play a critical role in their child’s sleep. These typical approaches commonly do not consider the context of the child’s sleep issues and the infant’s natural inbuilt sleep tendencies. Sleep training is focused on the child and approaches sleep from a behavior perspective. My team centered approach support the parents needs as much as the child’s needs. My approach focuses on health and lifestyle strategies that influence behavior, which leads to optimal sleep.
