About
“It takes a village to raise a child and as a pediatric sleep consultant, I am part of that village.”
- Daniella Costa, Pediatric Sleep Specialist
What if I told you that you were only a few days away from getting a full night’s rest again?
Instead of replacing that soother for the 586th time that night, bouncing, or rocking your precious little one, what if your baby could sleep through the night all on their own?
Already tried a method you read off a web article that seemed to work at first but now come to struggle again?
Imagine if you put your baby, toddler or child to sleep with just a hug & kiss and the next time you see them is in the warmth of the morning light, well rested and happy as a clam! And with no more "REGRESSIONS".
This isn’t just a dream, this can be your reality.
Hi there! I’m Daniella. I became a Certified Sleep Specialist because discovering the power of healthy sleep habits was the single most influential experience in my young motherhood. My family’s life was so positively impacted by discovering healthy sleep strategies, I made it my career to be a resource for struggling parents who are in what can feel like darkest side of parenting.
Sleep affects every aspect of life. From baby’s milestone development to even one's relationship with their spouse. Teaching healthy sleep habits creates happier, more confident children and even happier families.
What led me to this most rewarding career?
When I became a first time mom with a baby that had severe sleep troubles, it felt as if I was thrown into the deep end with no raft or skill to swim. I felt alone in my problem, like an immediate failure as a mother because her baby couldn't achieve the most basic thing - sleep! Trying to read a book on how to get my baby to sleep was like trying to read about learning to swim while attempting to tread water. I didn't have the time, the energy level nor the patience to read through the various baby sleep books while in the thick of sleep deprivation. I didn't know anyone who used a solid sleep training program to my standards. The internet was (and still is) a sea of misinformation with some extremely misleading and contradicting methodologies. I made some mistakes and I made some triumphs in my personal sleep journey.
Over the last 6 years I have been passionately learning everything about pediatric sleep. This passion led me to my career as Certified Sleep Consultant, so that I could become a resource for those mothers who are in the same boat as I was in - in desperate need of support.
With all the info on the web, why hire me to help you?
Of course, you can learn about baby sleep and various sleep training methods in the many books and websites out there. As a sleep consultant I am your one stop shop for everything related to pediatric sleep. In my professional training, I have studied the topics of sleep science, toddler and child behavioral management, even pediatric nutrition. I mentored under best-selling author of The Sleep Sense®, Dana Obleman in which I gained an invaluable amount of knowledge and experience. I am professionally trained and certified to help you through any of your child's sleep issues.
My customized Sleep Plans are holistic, meaning I don't tell you how to "make your baby cry it out". There is no one-size-fits all mentality when it comes to sleep training, which is why many, many people fail when attempting the basic versions. My sleep plans are 100% customized and individually tailored to your child's needs. My programs are always deeply founded in sleep education, nutrition and psychology taking you through what to do and why throughout every single day of our time together. Bump in the road? Not a problem because I'll be with you, guiding you through it to get you right back on track.
I love helping people above all. It is compassion and empathy that keep this world turning! If you find that your child is having sleep challenges I would love to help and start on this new journey together.
The Rested Darlings Approach
Every child is different and there is not one book on sleep that is one size fits all. I have studied sleep science and every baby sleep method out there. I will save you the time, endless research and the trial and error of trying various methods. We will work together to decide on the approach that is right for YOU. I will take the time to understand your situation and design an effective plan tailored to you while providing emotional support along the way. We are in this together!
