Let’s get some sleep!

Helping families develop healthy sleeping behavior for their little ones

 

Welcome

Sleep Consultant

Sleep is an essential need for the whole family

Sleeping is a skill that needs to be taught and good sleeping habits make a world of difference.

My goal is to guide you into introducing good sleeping habits for your little one with a step by step plan.

Every child is different and that is why I customise the plan for their needs. I will develop a method that you are comfortable with and that feels natural to follow.

We are a team and I’m here to guide you and support you when you need it.

So now what?

Your Team! 

Myriam Rathe Nurse, Nanny and Sleep Consultant

I am a professional sleep consultant who provides expert guidance about healthy sleeping behaviours. I provide assistance in order to achieve your family’s sleep goals so you can all thrive.

I have been in the caregiving industry since I was 19 years old. My journey is a little bit atypical, as I started my career as a nurse for 3 wonderful years. It helped me see how you can make a significant difference in someone else's life and how you can impact patients, families and colleagues for the better. Unlike the majority of sleep consultants who became engaged in the industry due to their own child rearing experiences as moms, I chose this career because I believe that offering an objective approach to sleep training is best.

After a while, I decided to pursue my dream to travel solo for 9 months around the world. That experience gave me the chance to work as an au pair and nanny in different families. They have shown me how every family is different and lives with different challenges. In New Zealand I fell in love with childcare. It opened my eyes to an interest that I wanted to study even more. 

Upon my return to Canada, I decided to do my certification with Qc Career School to become a baby sleep consultant because teaching has always been something I'm really passionate about. That interest started when I was a nurse and now it is flourishing by teaching families how to instill good sleeping behaviors so you can become more confident in your sleeping journey.

Philosophy

My approach is your approach

All children are different and nobody knows your child better than you do. I support your knowledge of your child so I can customize the best sleep plan for his or her needs. I value your desire to feel completely satisfied with everything that we implement together. I invite you to be honest and open about what is working or not in your family. I accommodate different parenting styles and I thrive by creating a safe relationship with families.

Raising a child can be really challenging so I will meet you where you are, no judgement. I offer a safe place so we can discuss solutions that satisfy everyone. I understand the ramifications of exhasution and am here to help you get back to a place where you are able to get the amount of sleep that you deserve.

My job is to develop and implement a customized sleep plan to help your child fall asleep independently and stay asleep. I will guide you to see improvements in your child’s sleep habits so you can become a well-rested family. 

I follow three easy steps: First step, I collect your information so I can customize the approach. Second, I will consult with your family to make any necessary adjustments and the last step is where the magic happens. We will implement and adjust your sleep plan for the needs of the whole family. 

The most common question I receive:

Will my baby cry?

Babies cry to protest or communicate. Making changes in their routine may result in some protest. It is likely for there to be at least some amount of crying in order to achieve better results.

Please understand that I will never tell you that you need to let your baby cry alone for hours or let him cry until exhaustion. I have many different tools besides the “cry it out’’ method and will always adjust to your level of comfort and that’s why my methods are so efficient. I adapt to your level of comfort so we can all be on the same page. 

If you have any questions about my methods and philosophy, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Testimonials

‘‘ Myriam was a LIFE-SAVIOR. I wanted to create a nap & bedtime routine for my boyfriend and I to follow, but we had different views on where and how to get our newborn to sleep. For example, my boyfriend insisted in letting our newborn sleep on his shoulder, hence, nothing was consistent until Myriam stepped in. She listened to our needs, provided us a plan and implemented a routine that was easy for us to follow. Since consulting with Myriam, our daughter sleeps throughout the night. She breezed through the 4 & 6 month sleep regression and the best part, our daughter rarely cries when she’s placed in her crib. We simply zip up her sleep sack, turn the sound machine on and close the door. Thank Myriam for all your help!! ‘‘

-Leong Family, Vancouver BC

"Myriam demonstrates a wealth of experience in offering her expertise in establishing a sleeping and feeding schedule. She listened to our struggles and concerns and offered tailored strategies to improve my baby's sleep. She followed up with me regularly to see how things were going and helped us modify our actions to build on the sleep habits we were trying to achieve. Having Myriam in our court helped me feel more confident as a new mother."

-Clark family, Vancouver BC

Myriam was a tremendous resource (and saviour!) for my husband and I following the birth of our first daughter. Her hands-on approach to sleep training was effective and the results were immediate. She taught us how to implement best practices in our daily routines so that bedtime would be a natural and fuss-free transition for baby.

Our daughter began working with Myriam for sleep training at three months old and began sleeping through the night - every night - at five months. We are extremely thankful for the gift of sleep that Myriam has bestowed on our entire family - and the sleep confidence she's instilled in us as our family grows!

-Gens Family, Vancouver, BC

Myriam joined our family in NZ as an au pair for 5 months. She came at a very full on time for us, we had just arrived home with newborn twin girls and already had four and two year old boys!

Myriam took all of this in her stride and worked extremely hard for us, helping to feed, bathe and settle the girls and even helped out with night feeds.

Myriam’s nursing background was also extremely helpful, helping diagnose and address events, both post birth maternally and for the children. Myriam would face any challenge head on and with her drive, determination and natural ability with babies I would highly recommend her.
