Our Style of Care Sets us Apart!
Exceptional Follow-Up & Continued Support
Consultations also available during weekdays OR on weekends, whenever YOU are free
In addition to Intuition Parenting’s completely gentle and holistic approach to sleep consultation, one of the many things that sets us apart is the extensive follow-up involved with every package offered.
I understand that something can seem clear in the moment we are working on it together, but become foggy at your hardest and most tired moments.
A deep understanding of our babies needs and a great actionable family plan can be motivating when we create it together but it does not mean maintaining that respect and understanding of the biology of our babies’ needs is easy all of the time.
That is why I want to be available to you to answer questions as they arise or even to just hear you out and let you know that you are doing a wonderful job. You can write to me with the good and the bad and I am all ears.
Enjoy Intuition Parenting’s ***UNLIMITED email, text, and/or **Voxer/WhatsApp support with many of our packages.
Also, life is already busy enough attempting to fit in appointments and other commitments during regular “business hours”, so I offer consultations on weekends to allow flexibility for busy families.
I look forward to working with you!
**Voxer/WhatsApp : Voxer or WhatsApp are wonderful tools that I use with my clients that allows us to leave voice messages for each other. They are thought to be like adult walkie-talkie systems, and available on Iphone, Android, and the web. The apps help us stay very connected during the follow-up time. It can be very time consuming for you to write me an email or text update, rather this way, just press a button and talk away and I will get back to you in the same manner.
Testimonial for Gentle Sleep Consulting
A beautiful thank you message arrived from a Gentle Sleep Consulting client and she ever so kindly offered permission for me to share it.
This is a wonderful testimonial to the aspects of this work that ease your mind about your child’s sleep and take the weight of worry off your shoulders.
With this style of sleep support you feel validated, affirmed, and seen.
Often there are many sleep improvements with all of the small gentle tweaks we can make, but this testimonial in particular helps us know that we sometimes can feel so much better just going through the process and learning the norms, the science, and that you are not alone.
Thank you so much to this client for sharing her words with all of us.
Listen with sound on to hear her beautiful testimonial, but if you can’t I will transcribe it here as well.
“I just really want to say thank you for everything you do.
You helped us SO much, and the support you gave us is so valuable to me and makes all the difference. And for me it’s money well spent.
I think you are really awesome at what you do, and I hope you get the chance to help lots of other parents to realize what realistic sleep expectations are because I feel like if we could learn to accept things like sleep with babies and toddlers and all those other really hard things, if we could learn to accept it, and not try to change it so much, people might be happier.
I know it took a big weight off my shoulders to find out what is normal with babies’ sleep, and knowing that that stuff is backed up by science, knowing that you are not alone, knowing that it’s normal, makes really a lot of difference especially in a world where we are bombarded by information from other people but also from the internet, especially regarding sleep. It makes things super confusing and super scary when you have a new baby. And it is already scary enough.
So I feel like people like you need to keep doing what you are doing and I hope people really start turning towards things like that instead of sleep training.”

This is achieved through a Sleep and Wellness assessment, a piece on managing expectations, creating goals, creating a menu of tools to help your child sleep, understanding upcoming common developmental milestones and “Sleep Regressions” and how to cope with them, identifying the sweet spots to look forward to, and planning how to find balance in your family.

Value: $315.00
3. Big Changes Sleep Support Package
Get a SECOND Consultation & FIVE WEEKS of Follow-Up!
Consider this package if you believe a big shift is in order (such as night weaning, moving a child to their own room, working with multiples as a few examples). It takes us some time to assess whether you are ready for the big shift, to devise a gentle strategy that resonates with your value systems, and to ensure the plan will succeed by approaching it with support from every angle possible (please see this article that describes the process we will follow together).
You also may appreciate extra support as you work to make a successful change, especially in the case of a big shift. Putting into action the strategy we devised together can bring up new questions along the way.
For these reasons, this package includes everything included in the Baby Steps Sleep Support Package above with the following additional inclusions:
- A second 1.5-2 hour consultation for a total of up to 5 hours of consultation
- Three additional weeks of ***unlimited email, text and/or **Voxer support (for a total of five weeks of support)
Full inclusions of this package:
- Full assessment of your child/family’s sleep with use of the Sleep and Wellness Pre-Assessment Form
- In-depth review of the Pre-Assessment Form by the Certified Infant Sleep Educator prior to consultation session

Value: $455.00
If you aren’t sure whether your current concerns would benefit from the Big Changes Sleep Support Package, please make use of our free 15 minute sleep consult so that I can help you figure out which package is best for you and your family at this time.
4. Mini Virtual Sleep Support
If you have some questions about the current state of sleep in your home, whether it be touching base on what is normal for your child’s current developmental stage, or tips and tricks to gently and respectfully nudge sleep in a direction you are hoping, having a quick chat might be what you are looking for. Please note that this package is not ideal if you have big issues you would like to address.
You will submit your current questions, worries, and inquiries in an intake email so that I may make the best use of our time and we will schedule a 1 hour conversation using the *Virtual Format of your choice. After our chat I will send an email summary of the actionable items you plan to try out.
This will not include a Personalized Sleep Strategy as with Package 2 and Package 3 above, but as with all of Intuition Parenting’s packages, follow-up to see how you are doing is important to me. So this does include one follow-up email exchange, led by you at any point in the two weeks following our conversation.
Value: $99.00
5. Tricky Times Package or Continued Support
As you enter Tricky Times with your little one, a little bit of support may go a long way. Contact me as you enter a Tricky Time to set up a week long ***unlimited email, text, and/or **Voxer support package. As with all of Intuition Parenting’s packages, follow up to see how you are doing is important to me. So this includes one follow-up email exchange, led by you at any point in the two weeks following the end of our Tricky Times email package.
Chatting back and forth with someone with experience, who understands your struggles, and who can brainstorm ideas with you may be all you need!
This is also great for a past client who has come to a new roadblock and needs some more brainstorming or for a client who is implementing some gradual gentle changes and would like to keep chatting daily past the two weeks of support that comes with Package 2 above (***at a 15% discount of course). I am here for you!
Value: $89.00
6. In-Home Coaching Support
Have you tried everything and need a fresh eye? If you do not require a full Personalized Sleep Strategy but would still like a home visit where we can work hands-on on anything from your Parenting to Sleep Repertoire with some demonstrations for carrying/wearing to sleep for example, or adjustments to the nursery set-up, tips and checks for safe bedsharing or floor bed/montessori style rooms, or anything else for your families sleeping arrangements to improve everyone’s sleep, contact me to schedule some in-home coaching.
Please note that this package isn’t typically the best fit for a new client as I believe the Sleep Education piece covered in packages 1 through 3 above to be vital to the Gentle Sleep Consulting process. I also find it quite valuable to take the time to understand your situation and tailor my suggestions to your needs, which all of the above packages allow for. This option is more intended for support for past clients when they reach a next hurdle so that we may brainstorm together only once I can be assured that you have received the important Sleep Education aspect of this style of support, and I can refer back to our original notes and already have a good understanding of your family.
Again, as with all of Intuition Parenting’s packages, follow-up to see how you are doing is important to me. So this includes one follow-up email exchange, led by you at any point in the two weeks following our In-Home Coaching Support.
Value: $45.00 per hour
Client Testimonial:
“Oh my gosh, we can’t thank you enough.
Your visit left us in such a great mood.
Every home needs you, I swear.
My husband turned to me and said, “Julia is such a good listener”.
You sure are. You are so supportive & reassuring.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Julia.
Some of the most honest and best parenting & life advice from one of the most sweetest person I know.
Julia’s message is absolutely for everyone, whatever your circumstances, and it’s easy to see she puts her whole heart into this. ❤️”
*Virtual Format: Most packages above can also be done virtually – your choice of a video (FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, or Google Hangouts) or a phone consult
**Voxer: Voxer is a wonderful tool that I use with my clients that allows us to leave voice messages for each other. Voxer is like an adult walkie-talkie system and available on Iphone, Android, and the web. The app is free to download and helps us stay very connected during the follow-up time. It can be very time consuming for you to write me an email or text update, rather this way, just press a button and talk away and I will get back to you in the same manner.
***UNLIMITED: Every single day we chat back and forth often, as needed. During the week I am available usually up to at least three occasions (I check Voxer in the morning, again mid-day, and again in the evening), and on the weekends up to at least two occasions through the day. You can contact me as often as you wish, leave little notes as you think of them etc. and I will answer all of the questions you left at these occasions that I hop on to reach back out to you. This format allows my clients to feel quite supported while they figure out any next steps and by the end of the two weeks are standing strong following their Intuition.
***A 15% discount is offered on packages 1-5 for past clients if you reach another major sleep hurdle and are in need of more support, as I already know your history, and we would have already covered the important Sleep Education aspect of this work.
NEW OFFERING!! A new service offering that pairs so wonderfully with in-home Gentle Sleep Support is Reiki Energy Healing that can be practiced on yourselves and your little one(s) during my visit if you wish.
