Sleep Sense Certified Child Sleep Consultant In Toronto

Meet Karla, Your Sleep Sense Certified Child Sleep Consultant in Toronto

Karla is a Sleep Sense Certified Child Sleep Consultant in Toronto and is the founder of The Sleep Consultant that Could, The Doula that Could and The Nanny That Could. She has been personally trained by Dana Obleman, the creator of The Sleep Sense™ Program, whose methods have been used worldwide by more than 57,000 families to quickly and easily solve their children’s sleep problems. Karla is certified by Dana Obleman to teach the Sleep Sense™ Method.
Karla is passionate about the beautiful process, from pregnancy to parenting and all the challenges in between. As a mother of three children and a full-time working mom, Karla’s inspiration to help families navigate the rollercoaster of parenting was born from her own frustrations as a mother asked herself one question:

What would put a smile on her face, even when she woke up to the daily mess and busy day ahead? Well, a good night’s sleep would help for sure! But the answer was not that simple. It meant a different thing every day, and so she realized that there is no such thing as having everything under control, so instead, she took every tiny perfect moment, praised it, made a happy dance and stored it in her treasure chest, for later years to remember and pull it out to share it with other moms and dads that might need a bit of help. And off she went on her day, saying to herself I think I could….

Motherhood taught Karla that there is no need to play Wonderwoman, “we are not here to collect medals or trophies,” she said, and that it is ok to seek help when we cannot figure it out.” Teaching her babies to sleep was one of those things. It took love, patience and the suitable gentle method each needed. “When you have something good going on, you want to share it,” she said, and so, The Sleep Consultant that Could was born.
Drawing from her experience and professional career as a doula and sleep consultant, Karla provides families with simple, step-by-step solutions that focus on developing healthy sleep habits, consistency and routines that respect each child’s personality, age and family dynamic.

What is it like to work with me?

At The Sleep Consultant That Could, we pride ourselves on being a family-oriented sleep consultancy. Here’s why we stand out:

Personalized Attention: We’re not a large agency where you’re just another client. We intentionally limit our client base each month to providing dedicated support. As a parent of three young children myself, I understand the importance of personalized care during this crucial time.
Certified Expertise: As a Sleep Sense certified consultant, I bring evidence-based knowledge to every case. But that’s not all—our connection to the largest network of sleep consultants worldwide ensures we stay at the forefront of best practices.
Continuous Learning: We’re committed to growth. Regular workshops and ongoing education keep us informed about the latest developments in pediatric sleep science, and you benefit from our up-to-date expertise.
Support Network: Even the most challenging cases won’t stump us. We tap into a vast network of experienced professionals who provide guidance and solutions if needed.

The first years of your baby’s life don’t have to be frustrating, exhausting or isolating. With the proper support customized to your needs and goals, sleep support guidance can help you regain control of your nights so you can be at your best the next day and deal with the important stuff, like celebrating your baby’s milestones.

What Would my Sleep Routine be like after Sleep Training?

This is a video of a client’s 11-months old baby self-soothing to sleep on day three of sleep training. You will see that baby is tossing, turning, and making noises until falling asleep independently at around the 10-minute mark. And although the baby is not crying, he still makes noises. This is normal behaviour and an encouraging sign that the baby is mastering his self-soothing skills. In this video, it takes 10 to 15 minutes for the baby to self-soothe to sleep, but it could take between 5 and 10 minutes as sleep training progresses. Isn’t IT wonderful. You kiss your baby good night, you turn the lights off, and the baby goes to sleep, easy peasy! You will also notice that the baby goes to his crib happy and uses a little stuffy that is safe to sleep with for his age.
