The method
Prepare. Teach. Practice. Troubleshoot.
Your plan follows the same four-phase framework I use with every family I coach one-on-one.
- Phase 1
Prepare
Set your child (and your home) up for success, so you're not fighting an uphill battle every night.
- Phase 2
Teach
Gently teach the skills your child needs to fall asleep, and stay asleep, on their own.
- Phase 3
Practice
Help the new skills stick with encouragement and consistency, until they become your child's normal.
- Phase 4
Troubleshoot
Know exactly what to do when early wakes, naps, or setbacks show up, because they will.

Your coach
Hi, I'm Karen Winter
I'm a certified pediatric sleep consultant, educator, and children's author with over 20 years of experience supporting children and families.
My passion is helping parents understand what's happening, why it's happening, and how to navigate it with confidence. Through sleep support, courses, storybooks, and practical resources, I help families build calmer days and better nights together.
What parents say
Clarity parents can act on
Confidence & Education
“She didn't just give us a plan. She helped me understand what was going on with my child's sleep and why certain patterns were happening. That education, paired with her calm confidence, made me feel capable instead of guilty or overwhelmed. Even beyond the sleep itself, Karen helped restore my confidence as a parent.”
Results
“Over the next two weeks Karen helped us get my son sleeping through the night again and doing quiet time entirely on his own. We didn't have to do any 'cry it out' and were finally able to create peaceful, lasting changes.”
Questions
Good to know
Who is Sleep Plan Only for?
Parents of 2 to 7 year olds who feel confident putting changes into practice on their own and want a clear, personalized plan without ongoing support.
What's in the plan?
A comprehensive plan, usually 10 to 15 pages: how to prepare your child for sleep, bedtime routine and nap schedule adjustments, an age-appropriate sleep training method, strategies for independent sleep, guidance for night wakings, and extra recommendations for your family.
How soon will I get my plan?
Within 48 hours of submitting your family questionnaire.
Is support included?
No, Sleep Plan Only is the plan on its own. If you'd like to talk it through, Call & Follow Up ($147) is a 45-minute call plus a follow-up email. For daily support, the Sleep Transformation Program ($797) includes three weeks of text support.
Do you use cry-it-out?
No. My approach is gentle and connection-based, tailored to your child and your comfort level.
Which option is right for us?
If you're confident following a plan on your own, Sleep Plan Only is the simplest option. For one specific challenge, Call & Follow Up ($147) is a focused call. For daily support through a bigger change, the Sleep Transformation Program ($797) is the most complete option. Not sure? Book a free intro call and talk it through with Karen.
