Dana D. knows firsthand how overwhelming sleep struggles with a newborn can be. After her firstborn went through a tough 4-month sleep regression, it felt like an endless cycle of swaying, shushing, and holding—nonstop for 45 days. The exhaustion, frustration, and sheer desperation built up quickly, as Dana and her husband tried everything from nursing to sleep devices, all in hopes of getting their baby to sleep soundly.
"We were drained," Dana admits. "I was neglecting my own well-being, my postpartum recovery, and my mental health. And on top of all that, I hadn’t slept in my own bed for what felt like forever."
It was during this sleep-deprived period that Dana and her husband reached the breaking point. They knew they needed help—not just for the sake of their baby, but for their entire family’s well-being. That's when they found me.
Why Dana Reached Out
After 5.5 months of sleep challenges with their first child, Dana and her husband were ready to turn things around for their second baby. This time, they made a decision early on: they would establish healthy sleep habits from the start. "I didn’t want to go through the same thing again," Dana says. "We knew we had to get it right this time. So we found Desiree."
One of the things that stood out to Dana was my track record of success stories and the personalized approach I offer to each family I work with. "Desiree is experienced, supportive, and results-driven," Dana shares. "She helped us not only with our newborn but also with our toddler’s sleep regressions. We knew we could trust her to help guide us through every sleep challenge."
The Journey with Me: Clear Goals, Tailored Support, and Real Results
Working with me was a game-changer for Dana’s family. "Desiree is always non-judgmental and quick to jump into action," Dana explains. "She made sure we understood that our sleep goals were not only attainable—they were completely within reach."
From day one, we worked together to establish consistent sleep routines, create a solid bedtime schedule, and tackle both baby and toddler sleep issues head-on. For Dana, one of the most impactful strategies was the customized sleep schedules by the month I provided. These schedules made it easier to keep track of sleep milestones and ensured that both of her kids were following age-appropriate routines.
"Having clear, predictable routines was a game-changer," Dana says. "Not just for the kids, but for us too! We finally had a solid plan to follow, and it took away all the guesswork."
We also focused on helping both of Dana’s children sleep independently, something that felt like a tall order with two under two! With some personalized strategies, her kids were sleeping in their own rooms, side by side, without needing constant intervention. The peace of mind that came with that progress was priceless.
The Sleep Transformation
Today, Dana's kids are independent sleepers who confidently go to bed on their own, following their own schedules. "The transformation has been incredible," Dana says. "It's such a relief to see them adapt so well. Our whole family’s well-being has improved, and we’re all getting the sleep we need."
The best part? Dana and her husband are finally able to sleep in their own bed again, with the reassurance that their kids are safe and sound in their own rooms. It’s a huge milestone for a family that was once caught in the endless cycle of sleepless nights.
A Lifelong Impact
Looking back, Dana credits my support as one of the most meaningful parts of her journey through parenthood. "Desiree has truly made a lasting impact on our family," she says. "Her guidance didn’t just help with sleep; it changed the way we approached our family’s overall well-being. And even our grandparents now say, 'Just ask Desiree' whenever something feels off with the kids’ sleep—it always works!"
For Dana and her family, working with me was more than just about getting better sleep—it was about reclaiming peace, restoring balance, and ensuring that everyone in the family, from the babies to the parents, could thrive.
