Some Of Our Rested Families

"Daniella is a life saver!  In a short period of time she managed to help me get my little one from waking up multiple times in the night and needing to be fed back to sleep, to sleeping all night and on a concrete nap schedule.  She was incredibly patient, supportive, knowledgeable and empathetic.  She answered all my questions before I even had to ask them.  She was easy to work with and made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the whole process."

About

“It takes a village to raise a child and support a mother.  As a family sleep coach, I am part of that village.”


- Daniella Costa

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 older 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 Pediatric Sleep Expert and Family Sleep Coach 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 your child'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 struggled to nap and had multiple consistent night wakings, 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 that was 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 8 years I have been passionately promoting and educating about pediatric sleep.  As a certified sleep consultant since 2020, I am your one stop shop for everything related to pediatric sleep.  I have invested heavily into my carreer with professional training in sleep science, toddler and school-age child behavioral management, pediatric nutrition and special needs sleep. 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 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" or teach you sleep training methods for your older child.  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 family's unique sleep goal.  My programs are deeply founded in sleep education, nutrition, mindful parenting 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

Instead of using a “cookie cutter” approach, my unique system lets us work together to find the method best suited to YOUR child’s needs, current sleep habits and their unique personality.

​

I will take the time to understand your situation and design an effective plan tailored to you while providing guided support along the way.  

​

I incorporate sleep education into all my programs which is a vital component for long term success.  I use gentler and proven methods that help your child wean off current sleep associations or 'props' that are hindering quality sleep. 

 

Within 2 weeks, I will help you get you to your family's personal sleep goal.
