Shira Unterman, Certified Infant & Toddler Sleep Consultant
Hi, I'm Shira!
I am a mom of three under 6, and yes, I've survived all three newborn stages (barely). If you're here, you're probably running on caffeine and sheer willpower, Googling "why won't my baby sleep" at 3am. Been there. Like, really been there. I became a certified sleep consultant because I know exactly how desperate and exhausting that chapter feels — and I know it doesn't have to last forever.
​
When my oldest was born, I was sure I’d never sleep again (sound familiar?). Everyone told me sleepless nights were just part of parenting, but no one mentioned how overwhelming, exhausting, and anxiety-inducing it could be. Like so many new parents, I spent endless hours Googling everything—wake windows, nap transitions, and the ever-elusive “drowsy but awake.” But the more I researched, the more confused I became.
​
I just needed someone to simplify it all, show me what actually works, and cheer me on when I doubted myself. That’s when I found a professional sleep expert—and my life changed. With the right guidance, my baby and I were sleeping soundly in just three days. Nights, naps—everything clicked. The difference it made in my energy, confidence, and day-to-day joy was life-changing.
​
That experience sparked my passion for helping other parents navigate the same struggles. As a certified pediatric sleep coach, I’ll guide you step by step, offering practical tools and unwavering support to help your baby or toddler learn to sleep. Together, we’ll create a plan that works for your family, so you can reclaim your rest, your peace, and your time.
​
You deserve to wake up feeling rested and ready to take on the day. Let’s make sweet dreams a reality for you and your little ones.
My Philosophy
Every family I work with is different — different babies, different schedules, different levels of tolerance for a 4am wake-up. So while my methods are rooted in research and evidence-based practice, there's no cookie-cutter plan here.
​
I'll be real with you: the road to better sleep might involve some tears, from your little one and honestly, maybe from you too. That's completely normal, and I'll be right there with you through it. My goal isn't just to get your baby sleeping. It's to make sure you feel confident, supported, and never alone in the process.
​
Better nights are closer than you think. Let's build a plan that actually works for your family.
How does it work?
STEP 01
​
Let’s start with a free, no-obligation call to see if we’re the right fit for your family. We’ll discuss your current challenges and goals, and I’ll share how I can support you on your journey to better sleep.
STEP 02
Every family is unique, and so is every sleep plan. Based on your child’s age and your specific needs, I’ll recommend a package that aligns with your goals and sets you up for success.
STEP 03
The real transformation begins! I’ll provide hands-on guidance and daily text message support to troubleshoot and adjust as we go. My goal is to work with you until your baby is sleeping peacefully—and so are you.
