Welcome! I am Marly, a certified pediatric sleep consultant, potty training expert, and Montessori trained educator.
I offer strategies around sleep and potty training that are holistic, trust-based, and personalized to each child and each family.
I help families transform their home.
Let’s imagine a world where your day begins with a gentle start…
…I am here to tell you, it’s closer than you think!
Hi, I am Marly. I have been working with young children and their families for over 12 years. I hold an AMI Assistants to Infancy (birth-3) Montessori diploma and a M.Ed., in early childhood education. I am certified pediatric sleep consultant through the Center for Pediatric Sleep Management and a potty training expert from my years of guiding toddlers in the classroom. I am a mother and I love witnessing the raw joy that young children have for this world.
My mission is to help families start each day well rested, grounded, and equipped to navigate the hurdles that arise during infancy & early childhood.
Do You Find Yourself:
Exhausted and wanting longer stretches of sleep?
Feeling anxious and triggered by your child’s crying or protests?
Unable to consolidate naps or struggling to drop a nap?
Spending hours researching wake windows and sleep schedules?
Wondering why your child all of a sudden is refusing to use the toilet?
Wanting to create a purposeful and functional toddler space within your home?
Let Me Make Your Life Easier
Sleep
Building a foundation of positive sleep habits is a gift to your child and yourself. My services range from an hour long consultation to two weeks of full support.
Potty Training
Learning to use the toilet does not happen overnight. Let me help you prepare yourself, the space, and your child for this journey towards functional independence
In-Home Organization
A prepared space allows the young child to adapt to their surroundings in a practical and purposeful way. Creating a “yes” space sets your child up for success!
