One-Time Parenting Consultation

Sometimes, One Conversation Can Change Everything

Whether you’re preparing for your baby’s arrival, navigating a difficult season, or simply looking for expert reassurance, a one-time consultation provides personalized guidance tailored to your family’s unique needs.

Together, we’ll sort through the information, answer your questions, and create a realistic plan that feels right for your family, not a generic checklist from the internet.

Choose the Level of Support That’s Right for Your Family

  • A fork in a trail with a signpost.

    20-Minute Clarity Call — $65

    Perfect for one or two quick questions, a schedule adjustment, or reassurance when you simply need an expert opinion.

    This is for when you need:

    √ Help making sense of what is happening
    √ Reassurance that you are not missing something important
    √ Guidance on what your next best step should be

    This is not a full plan. It is a grounded, professional second set of eyes on your situation.

  • A winding forest path.

    45-Minute Focused Strategy Session — $135

    Ideal for one primary concern. We’ll take a deeper look at what’s happening, discuss contributing factors, and create a personalized action plan.

    This is for when you have a specific challenge you want to work on, such as:

    √ Night wakings, naps, or bedtime struggles
    √ Feeding questions, bottle transitions, solids, or reflux concerns
    √ Emotional overwhelm, postpartum anxiety, or burnout
    √ Big transitions like returning to work, starting daycare, or adding a second child

    We use this time to identify patterns, troubleshoot what is not working, and make real, practical adjustments you can start using right away.

  • A scenic overlook at the top of the trail.

    90-Minute Comprehensive Consultation — $195

    Best for families juggling multiple concerns or looking for a more complete review. We’ll explore the bigger picture, identify patterns, and develop a comprehensive plan that supports your whole family.

    In this session, we look at your whole family system, including:

    √ Sleep and circadian rhythms
    √ Feeding and digestion
    √ Regulation and sensory needs
    √ Postpartum recovery and emotional health
    √ Parental capacity and mental load

    This is where deeper patterns get uncovered and where long-term stability is built.

Is This Right for You?

√ Have one specific challenge you’d like help solving

√ Want expert guidance without committing to ongoing support

√ Feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice

√ Need reassurance that you’re on the right track

√ Want a personalized plan you can confidently implement on your own

FAQs

What if I’m not sure which consultation length to choose?

1

Start with the 45-minute Focused Strategy Consult. If your situation is especially complex or you’d like a comprehensive review of sleep, feeding, development, and routines, the 90-minute Comprehensive Consult is usually the better fit. If you’re still unsure, please feel free to schedule a free 15-minute Discovery Call. We’ll talk through your situation and decide together which option is the best fit.


If we reach the end of our session and feel additional support would be beneficial, you’re welcome to schedule another consultation or transition into one of my ongoing support programs.

2

What if we need more time?


Not at all! While many families reach out for sleep support, consultations can cover virtually any topic related to pregnancy, postpartum, newborn care, feeding, development, or parenting during the first few years.

3

Is this only for sleep?


Do I have to follow your recommendations?

4

Never. My role is to provide evidence-informed guidance, explain your options, and help you make decisions that align with your family’s values and goals.


As soon as payment is received, you'll receive an email to book your call. Typically, we can meet within 2-3 days based on availability. After your consultation, you'll immediately feel better, and within 1-2 business days, you'll receive a follow-up email with everything we talked about! Not only will it contain all of your specific recommendations, resources, and referrals for your unique family's challenges but also a summary of our call with links to the video for future reference.

5

How soon will I receive support?


There's no commitment with any of the one-time consultations. I will give you honest feedback during our consultation if I think a follow-up call is recommended, but ultimately, you get to decide how much support best fits your family's needs. If you're not sure, I'm happy to help you make the best decision for your family!

How long is my commitment?
