Sleep Coaching: Embracing Adaptation Over Discipline
There is both a deep-seeded FEAR and BIG MISPERCEPTION that a parent needs to become “a hardcore disciplinarian” when attempting to sleep train their child, especially if the child is older and verbal, as in 3-6 years of age. The answer is a resounding NO.
Navigating the realm of sleep coaching can feel daunting, especially when faced with the notion of becoming a rigid disciplinarian. However, at Blissful Baby Sleep Coaching, I approach sleep training with a different ethos – one centered around empathy, understanding, and adaptability.
Contrary to common parenting myths, effective sleep coaching doesn’t mean you need to be rigid or adopt authoritarian tactics. "Locking the door and imposing strict rules would never have worked for my daughter," one client shared. "Thankfully, Joanna’s gentle approach is nothing like that." At Blissful Baby Sleep Coaching, I’ve designed a method rooted in empathy, understanding, and adaptability, rather than punishment or strict enforcement.
Sleep coaching with me is about respecting each child’s individuality and guiding them gently towards predictable and calming routines and healthy sleep patterns.
As one parent said,
“I thought I had to be the ‘brick wall,’ but with Joanna’s support, we realized our role wasn’t to enforce rules, but to avoid power struggles and listen.”

Here, you won’t find a one-size-fits-all solution; instead, you'll discover a personalized, family-centered approach that fosters a strong, connected relationship with your child.
At Blissful Baby Sleep Coaching, I understand that every child is unique and that's why my approach focuses on personalized guidance, tailored to suit the individual needs of each family. "Joanna taught us that it's not about blocking our children from options. It's about gently guiding them and removing sleep crutches at their own pace." Learn more about my Stairway to Sleep process.
My methodology is built on the foundation of empathy and collaboration. I believe in fostering strong parent-child relationships through active listening and responsiveness.
Here is what parents had to say
“No need to doubt or question the process. Joanna’s approach is anything but cookie-cutter. ”
“Joanna also taught us how to do better for ourselves and our kids.”
“Open yourself up to this process. You’ll be amazed at the journey it takes you on.”
