Julia Rayfiel - Sleep Consultant
Evidence-based sleep support, built around your child and your parenting style.
Great sleep starts here
You don't need another internet search, you need real help. With years of experience solving sleep problems for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, I will take you by the hand and make sleep training easy. I start by listening to your concerns, learning all about your child, and gaining insight into your parenting style. Then I create a personalized plan based on decades of sleep science and your family's specific needs.
My philosophy is that sleep is incredibly important - for both parents and children - and it’s a skill that can be taught lovingly and with plenty of reassurance along the way. I can't wait to help you get your sleep and your sanity back!
About Me
My name is Julia Rayfiel and I’m a sleep consultant with a Master’s degree in Biochemistry! Let me tell you how I got here.
I spent many years working in the lab, doing stem cell and cancer research. I liked my work, but always wished to do something where I could help people directly. When I had my first baby, I decided to be a stay-at-home mom. I thought it would be this blissful, amazing experience, but sleep deprivation started to take its toll. Days stretched into weeks, which blurred into months. My mental health plummeted, and I was becoming a shell of the mom I wanted to be. So I did what I do best, and jumped into research mode! I learned everything I could about baby sleep, and in the following weeks I taught my daughter how to fall asleep and stay asleep independently. The first morning that I woke up from a full night's sleep, was the moment I knew everything would be ok. Motherhood became a bright, joyous time for me - it changed absolutely everything. I went on to have two more children, and taught them to be great sleepers too.
Now I help other families solve their sleep problems. As a certified sleep consultant, I work closely with you to understand your child’s specific needs and pick a sleep training method that best fits your parenting style. My advice is guided by my background in science, with a thorough understanding of circadian rhythms, sleep pressure, and childhood development. I have read all the sleep training studies so you don’t have to - and I use that knowledge to make sure that we teach your child to sleep while ensuring their secure attachment to you. I love helping families get the sleep they need so they can enjoy life again!
