Margit is a gem! She successfully helped our family achieve our goal of teaching our son (12 mos) that he was capable of putting himself to sleep without mom! This led to our little one sleeping through the night for the first time EVER.
Margit impressed me with her level of expertise and overall enthusiasm for healthy and restorative sleep. From the start of our relationship, I could tell that I was in a safe, judgement free zone and that Margit was ready to listen and help us figure out a plan that would work for our family.
Margit took the time to get to know us, which included previous successes and challenges surrounding sleep for our baby. During our conversations, Margit would share educational components that make-up healthy sleep and would even offer me extended reading on sleep topics that were new to me. I felt like Margit made our family part of the process. By the time I saw the sleep plan Margit had constructed for us, there were no surprises. Our plan was laid out in detail and Margit went over everything with us in depth. She also gave us the opportunity to work through any questions and talk about areas that were likely to cause us discomfort. When it was time to get started, we were eager and even excited! We were able to approach night one with calmness, positivity and confidence, which I know positively impacted our baby. For two weeks, we worked with Margit and followed her detailed plan with great success. Our baby was sleeping through the night before the end of week 1!
In addition, I always felt that Margit approached our conversations and check-ins with a tremendous amount of empathy and support. All of our correspondences with Margit, over the phone or email, were professional, timely and handled with thoughtfulness. Margit was an absolute pleasure to work with. We are so lucky and grateful that we had Margit guide us through this journey. I have no doubt that she is going to help give many families and their children the ultimate gift of sleep.
I really appreciated the reference to the healthy components of sleep b/c everything in the plan laddered up to this. The written plan was actionable and not overwhelming. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I had a road map to sleep. Margit’s plan cut out all the clutter from the internet / books I've read and kept me focused on a developmentally appropriate sleep schedule for my son. Working with a professional also kept us accountable. Prior to this, it was too easy to default to nursing my son to sleep or saying that I was too tired to help him learn to fall asleep on his own. Margit’s plan gave us the power to help my son.
We are so grateful that we had the opportunity to work with Margit as our pediatric sleep consultant. I truly believe that when it comes to our children, we have to assemble a team that we can trust to support us in parenting. With that said, I would want Margit on our team again, and again. For us, her background as a child development specialist and her own experience as a mother made Margit the perfect sleep consultant for our family.
