Private Consultations

I offer private consultations for families who are unable to attend my monthly seminars, or for those people who are simply more comfortable in a one-on-one atmosphere.

We'll discuss your child's sleep difficulties in detail and determine what approach to solving these problems you are most comfortable with, and then work together to come up with a detailed sleep plan that you can start implementing right away.

Just like with my seminar clients, I provide private consultation clients with a very high level of pro-active telephone support (meaning I'll be calling you daily when you first start putting your plan into place to ensure that everything is going smoothly.)

Private consultations can be conducted in-person at my Vancouver, BC offices, conveniently located downtown at Pender St. and Richards St. OR can be conducted over the telephone. The level of service provided is the same whether we meet "in person" or "over the phone."

Here's a complete summary of what's included:

Preliminary evaluation -- This is a short questionnaire about your child's sleep habits and daily routine that you'll complete prior to our meeting. (When I have this information in advance, it helps us make the most of our time together.)
A 1 - 1.5 hour private meeting where we'll discuss strategies, troubleshoot possible pitfalls, and learn how to deal with bedtime, naptime, and nightwakings.
A comprehensive and totally customized sleep plan. This plan will include a step-by-step plan for dealing with naps, bedtime, nightwakings and all the possible pitfalls you may encounter like sickness, travel and transitions.
Four follow-up telephone calls. I'm willing to bet you'll have additional questions during the first week of your child's new sleep plan, so we'll schedule times to talk in person.
One full week of e-mail support. After the first week, your child will either be sleeping through the night or at least well on their way. However, you can still get in touch with me via e-mail with any last questions that may come up.
A customized sleep log to track your progress. One of the best ways to see just how much things have improved is to keep a nightly sleep log. I'll provide one for you.

The cost for a one-on-one consultation is just $300 payable by cash, cheque, or major credit card. The consultation will take place in my office (located in Vancouver on Broadway at Arbutus St.) or by teleconference, and they generally last anywhere between 1 and 1 1/2 hours -- depending on how many questions you have for me! If you would like to inquire about setting up a private consultation, please call me (Dana) directly at (604) 506-9115.

I've has helped families all over the Lower Mainland solve their sleep problems. Here are just a few testimonials...

"Dana is so patient and really knows what she is talking about. My daughter slept great at night, but was really difficult to get down for a nap during the day. She helped us come up with a plan of action that I was comfortable with, now my daughter is a great napper, which is important for both of us as I work from home and need a few hours to work, and she has become a much happier child."

- Tammy & Chris L., Surrey

"After just a few weeks of following Dana's suggestions (not always perfectly!), my son is now sleeping through the night, and so am I! It is such a relief - my
baby is much happier and my husband and I actually have some time to
ourselves every evening after our son goes to bed. Thanks for all of your
support Dana!"

- Laura & Scott M., North Vancouver

"Simon was 6 months and waking up 4 times a night to pop the soother in.
Dana gave me great insight and support. Simon is now 9 months and never
wakes up in the middle of the night. We are all happier and sleep time is
now a joy for all of us."
