Customized Sleep Plan

I will create a detailed step by step sleep plan specific to your baby’s circumstances. I will help you work on nap troubles, bedtime struggles, frequent night waking’s, early risings, sleep prop dependencies such as rocking, feeding, holding to sleep and so much more!

One on One Support

I will guide you every step of the way. I am literally a WhatsApp or email away. This is important when variables come, and you just don’t know what to do. The most common reason sleep training fails is because parents don’t know how to handle the bumps that come up during the process.

Frustrated and Tired because you can’t get your baby to sleep through the night?

I know the feeling! I have been there myself. When my daughter Emily was born, I was filled with so much joy. She was the perfect little baby.  Things quickly took a turn when I had to get up every hour to nurse or rock her back to sleep. Being a full-time working mom, this was just not working for me or her. She was grumpy and I was sleep deprived. I feared every nap, bedtime, and nighttime hours. I was at my wits end before I decided to sleep train her. It literally transformed our lives. I now help parents and babies all over the world sleep better, and I can help you too!

What We Do

When it comes to a baby’s sleep there is no “one size fits all” method to follow. When my baby was not sleeping, I searched the web for days on end and despite the massive amount of information on the web, there was nowhere I could turn for guidance based on my baby’s unique situation.  As a pediatric baby sleep consultant, I will take into consideration your baby’s age, sleep history, temperament, and individual circumstances before I give you any advice.
Get in touch
Frequent night waking's
There can be many reasons why your baby might be waking at night. I will be able to identify those reasons from your baby’s sleep history whereafter we can work together on fixing those waking’s right away.
Eliminating props
It is so easy for a baby to be dependent on a sleep prop like nursing or rocking to sleep. If your baby is dependent on this, he/she will expect the same each time he/she wakes. I will help create a step by step plan of how to teach your baby to fall asleep independently.
Sleep Schedule
The amount of daytime sleep your baby is getting is one of the first things that will determine how well your baby sleeps at night.  I will include an age-appropriate sleep schedule that you can follow for your baby. Along with this schedule, I will also include a detailed troubleshooting guide to assist you if the schedule does not go to plan.
Pacifier Weaning
There can be many reasons why your baby might be waking at night. I will be able to identify those reasons from your baby’s sleep history whereafter we can work together on fixing those waking’s right away.
Early Morning Wakes
It is so easy for a baby to create an early morning habit wake. I will help you work on resetting your baby’s internal clock so that he/she can wake at a more reasonable time. 
Sleep Regressions
Sleep regressions are the one word that no parent wants to hear but they are real. Many times, parents create bad sleep habits just to get their baby through the regression only to find that the bad habits remain after the regression. I will help your baby get back on track considering the development your baby is going through at the time.
Nap Troubles
It is very common for babies that sleep poorly at night to take cat naps of about 30-45 minutes during the day. I will show you how you can improve your baby’s nap lengths and quality.
Transition from cot to bed
This can be a stressful topic for both mommy and baby. Many parents experience sleep troubles once they transition their toddler to a bed even if their toddler was a good sleeper before. I will help make the transition as easy as possible for you and your toddler.

Hi, I am Nicoline, Owner, and Founder of Sleepy Totz

I am a certified pediatric sleep consultant and have a huge passion for helping sleepless parents. I successfully transitioned from a career as a wealth administrator serving clients with their financial administration needs to a part-time commitment running my business- Sleepy Totz, an organization dedicated to helping sleepless parents and babies. My background as a mother coupled with my experience of sleep-training my own child has enabled me to build a successful career.

My journey in this industry started after the birth of my daughter, which was shortly after losing my 4-days-old son to meningitis. Being a full-time working mom, my daughter’s sleep was all over the place and I could see that the lack of sleep is not doing her or me any good.  At first, I did not believe in sleep training because letting my daughter cry it out was just not an option. Motivated by the desire to do everything to protect her, I decided to sleep train her using a very gentle approach, an action that changed our lives tremendously. I haven’t looked back ever since!

As a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant from the Institute of Pediatric Sleep and Parenting; I am passionate about what I do. With deep market knowledge, coupled with an analytical, detail-oriented approach, I am equipped to understand the needs of the most discerning parents and babies, delivering an experience rooted in service, integrity, and expertise. My strong customer service skills make me a keen advocate for clients, proactively seeking out new opportunities to enhance my services and continually attain excellence, with client satisfaction as the ultimate objective.

Outside working, I love spending time with my 1-year-old toddler. I also find engaging in self-developing activities like reading most fulfilling. Leveraging the wisdom of my own experiences, I am inspired to serve parents and babies to achieve what they believe they deserve.

Thanks to Nicole, I now have twins that know how to fall asleep on their own and actually go for day time naps and to sleep at night at the same time. This has been life changing for me as a mom and us as a married couple too, as no one can pour from an empty glass. It has made me a better wife and mom to our two girls.
Nicole’s approach is gentle and adaptable. Our girls are so much happier, now that we know what their awake and asleep times should be. No more overtired, moody girls.
