Jessica Dodson is a Gentle Sleep Coach, trained and certified by Kim West, aka The Sleep Lady. I work with families of children from newborn to 5 years to help them get the rest they need, and offer sleep education and planning services to expectant families.
There is no sleep issue I haven’t come across, but some that I frequently work with are:
- Multiple night wakings
- Frequent nighttime feedings
- Early rising
- Co-sleeping where no-one is getting any sleep
- Short naps and nap refusal
- Sleep routines that no longer work (such as rocking/bouncing/nursing to sleep)
- Bedtime battles and children who won’t stay in their bed
- Transitions from crib to bed
- and many more!
I don’t believe in one size fits all solutions and work with families to create a sleep plan that incorporates their parenting philosophy, needs and goals as well as the temperament of their child. As a Gentle Sleep Coach, I never tell parents they have to leave their child to cry-it-out, end co-sleeping or night wean. There are always options for how to address a particular situation, and my job is to empower parents to choose the path that feels best for them and their child.
I am based in Washington DC and work with clients throughout the DC metro area and around the world. I have helped families on 5 continents (and counting!).
