Approach

The Gentle Sleep Coach method is a gradual, parent-present approach. Parents remain in the room and actively comfort their child during the process — there is no leaving the baby alone to cry. Over time, the parent gradually reduces their involvement as the child builds independent sleep skills. This method tends to resonate with families who prioritize attachment and responsiveness.

Who This Practice Is Best For

Parents who are drawn to gentle, gradual methods and want the assurance of a consultant trained directly by one of the field's most established figures. The Kim West certification is one of the most recognized credentials in the industry.

Location

Based in Los Angeles, CA, with virtual options available.
