Hey there! I’m Valerie.
As a Child & Family Therapist, and Baby-led Certified sleep coach I work with families to improve their child’s sleep without resorting to cry-it-out methods of any kind as these compromise their child’s needs and undermine a parent’s beliefs.
Using my background in psychology and social work including my Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Toronto, I became a child and family mental health therapist focused on children 0-6 years old. I have extensive experience supporting parent-child relationships and children’s social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. I’m trained and certified in infant and child mental health, postpartum and maternal mental health, parenting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment Focused Therapies just to name a few!

I’m a real-life mom who has struggled with sleep in my family, just like you. I created Talkin’ Sleep’s toddler sleep course to kickstart your personal journey to winning at toddler sleep while knowing your top priority is making sure your toddler turns out to be the best version of themselves. I’ve worked with hundreds of families, and I can say with confidence that you absolutely can get better sleep without sleep training of any kind.

Introducing
How to help your toddle sleep easier + longer

"Valerie’s toddler sleep course has taught us so much. There were so many things that we did not realize could be causing our little one to fight sleep. Her course helped us understand our toddler’s behaviours and possible reasons why this was happening and how to help improve her sleeping habits. I am so grateful for this course. "

Is Toddler Sleep Course the right solution for your family?
Here's a little check to see...
🎉 You’re a first parent and have no clue what the heck to do when it comes to sleep but believe that your can't spoil your toddler with love and connection
🎉 This isn't your first rodeo, but you cried it out with your last child(ren) and are NOT doing that again and wants to do things differently
🎉 You question things that don't sit well with your gut, and tend not to do things the same way as your parents (because science has evolved!)
🎉 You want to parent using your intuition but need support when it feels like now one in your personal circle understands your decisions need some extra encouragement
🎉 You want to feel confident in knowing that you’re doing what’s best for your baby because every decision feels like a guessing game
🎉 You’re willing to accept that normal infant sleep doesn't always mean uninterrupted sleep while wanting to do what you can to maximize your baby’s (and family's) sleep
This is not the course for you if...
â›” You want someone to come in and save the night by telling you exactly how to "fix" everything and provide your with a step by step plan of action
⛔ You’re looking for a “magic” solution to your family's sleep situation that's instantly going to change your life (I hate to tell you – it doesn’t exist!)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will I have time to go through the material?
The toddler sleep course is delivered in short (5-15 minute) videos explaining what you need to know to make changes right away. It’s a self-paced course that allows you to go directly to the content that is relevant to you. With lifetime access to the course, you can return to content over and over as your baby (or your family) grows.
Will it actually work for my toddler?
I am confident that my course will work for your toddler. The content is based on the most pressing questions I receive from parents and their toddlers. I change and update the course content based on feedback from parents like you! If you’ve taken the course and did not find it helpful, get a full refund with our 30-day money back guarantee. Honestly, I don't want your money if you don't find the course helpful.
Will I have to leave my toddler to cry? Is this a cry-it-out method?
No. You will never be asked to leave your toddler to cry for any length of time or reason. You will never be asked to ignore your intuition. You will not be taught to teach your baby to sleep. (It is a biological function after all!)
Will this course help with sleeping through the entire night?
This course helps get your toddler down to the minimum number of night wakings that still meets their needs in an age appropriate way. For some toddlers this will be a full night, but other toddlers (12-18mo) may still wake at night and require a quick feed or resettling. I’ve designed this course to help you eliminate the root of what is causing wake-ups, but I would be weary of trusting any sleep courses that guarantee a certain number of hours of sleep.
Will this course work for my baby (0-12 months)?
The course is designed for 1 - 5 years. If your baby is 0-12 months - Baby Sleep Essentials is a better option for you.
How is the course different from the free material you share on social media?
If you’re using my free content and it’s working for you, that’s great! Many families still find they need additional information and resources to make an impact on their toddler’s sleep. My online courses offer more specific actionable steps addressing a much wider variety of topics than you might see featured on my social media accounts.
Does it cover Night Weaning?
No, this course does not cover night weaning. We do cover it in this webinar.
My toddler has a known medical issue. Can I still take the course?
This course is designed to help you guide your toddler to their best possible sleep by focusing on the things that are in your control. This includes how you guide them, their own unique personality and needs, having realistic expectations, balancing household schedules, and identifying the reasons for sleep disruptions. If there is a known medical issue that is causing a sleep disruption, treating the condition should be your first step in that process.
