Infant/Toddler Sleep
Welcome to Peaceful Beginnings Foundation
Zero Crying Sleep Solutions for Infants and Toddlers
Support your baby’s natural biological rhythms. Utilizing the rigorously researched NDC approach to infant and toddler sleep, I help you work with your baby’s biology, not against it. The NDC program is the evidenced-based alternative to sleep training. This approach was developed by Pamela Douglas, M.D., IBCLC and shown to be effective in a variety of university studies.
We work together on resetting your little one’s sleep patterns, so that nights get easier and more manageable. We look at your child’s day time activity and maximize sensory input. I share with you the research based concept of sleep pressure and circadian rhythms, which are essential for healthy sleep.
I focus on nurturing the emotional bond you have developed with your baby and protecting your baby’s secure attachment, which is vital throughout childhood and beyond.

What Families Are Saying

I want to really thank you. I’ve really tapped into my motherly intuition the past month especially and caring for Z based on what feels right and with the mindset that the more affection and comfort I can give him the better. Instead of trying to stick to these silly rules people have these days about feeding and napping which I feel results in not tending to a baby’s needs. A few things you’ve said has given me permission to do what feels right for him and really spoil him with love and I see how content (unless overly tired or gassy) he is and how he leans into me and L for comfort.

I was 2 months in and moments away from quitting breastfeeding. I had a terribly painful case of mastitis that brought me to tears every time my daughter nursed (caused by what I later learned was an improper latch). As a first time mom encountering such a significant struggle, I found myself ready to give up on nursing. It was right then that I was introduced to Danielle, who within a matter of minutes changed my life forever. She adjusted my positioning, which led to a proper latch and took my daughter from being labeled as failure to thrive to gaining weight and happily nursing for 15 months. I attribute the health of my two daughters today to Danielle’s wealth of knowledge, support, and encouragement when I needed it most and had no idea where to turn.

Working with Danielle has been wonderful! As a new mom, I was spending hours doing research trying to find how to best help my baby sleep because I didn’t want to sleep train. I was incredibly thankful to find someone who collaborated with me to meet my daughter’s unique sleep needs instead of pushing me to do something I didn’t want to do. Danielle’s support and expertise has been invaluable to help me address changes in both sleep and breastfeeding.

It was my greatest desire to breastfeed my daughter, but from day one it was very challenging. My daughter was not great at nursing and weight gain was a tremendous struggle that continued for months. Danielle worked with us faithfully over those weeks and months. Her expertise, kindness, and understanding were a tremendous blessing to our family. My daughter is now nine months old. We are still nursing, and there is no doubt that we would not have made it this far without Danielle's help.

As A First Time Mom, I Had A Million Questions About Breastfeeding. Danielle's Course Offered Invaluable Insight And Support As My Baby And I Eased Through The First Few Weeks Post Partum. I Struggled With Mastitis From Over Production Early On And Danielle Offered Healing Guidance Throughout. I Now Feel Confident And Comfortable Breast Feeding And My Baby Is Healthy And Growing Rapidly!

Dr. Danielle! Thank You So Much For The Course, It Has Been A GAME CHANGER. Milk Bleb Is Completely Gone And Baby Has Been Latching On SO Well With The Gestalt Hold. Thank You Again!

I am so grateful that I found Danielle. She helped me go from relying on pumping to feed my baby to fully back to solely nursing him in just a week. When I was pumping, I was barely able to get enough to feed my son in a 24-hour period, I was having to wake up at 5 am to pump so that I would have enough for the day. By hearing the details of our situation, Danielle was able to help me feel confident that if I transitioned my baby back to nursing, with her help and support, he could do it! One week later and I can’t even believe how well he’s done. I haven’t pumped in a week and my baby is doing great. There is so much misinformation out there about nursing and feeding and “physical variations/abnormalities” of the mouth/tongue that can hinder feeding, I had convinced myself that he couldn’t do it, when really, at four months, he had become a much better feeder and his shorter feeds meant it was doing amazing. We “wasted” a lot of time doing a lot of intervention to try to fix these problems and by adjusting the fit and hold and letting my son lead the way, things have never been better with feeding. Nursing has been probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, navigating these feeding challenges with my baby, but I’m so glad I persevered through it. I now know that my baby and my body know just what to do and I trust myself and my baby more than ever before. I wish I’d found Danielle sooner!
