Help your baby or toddler sleep solo in a truly kind and gentle way
Beyond Bedsharing and Contact Napping Workshop
A live workshop + Q&A on Thursday February 20th at 11 AM AEDT (Replay is yours to keep!)
For responsive parents who are ready to introduce independent sleep WITHOUT sleep training
With Dr. Jess Guy, Founder of Infant Sleep Scientist
WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
This was the first time I felt like someone actually got the in-between – how to make it work and how to change things in a way that respects my baby’s needs. Thanks for everything you do.

You CAN transition your baby or toddler toward more independent sleep while staying true to your responsive parenting values
Which means you DON’T have to:
❌ Continue on in what feels like an unsustainable sleep situation
❌ Resort to unresponsive sleep training techniques like CIO or Ferber
❌ Feel stuck without a plan
❌ Keep trying random strategies and getting frustrated when they don’t work
That’s exactly why I created my live workshop + Q&A, Beyond Bedsharing and Contact Napping, to help you move forward confidently and responsively.
Hi, I'm Dr. Jess!
I’m a developmental psychologist with a PhD in child development. A former sleep scientist and a certified Infant and Family Sleep and Well-being Specialist.
AND… I’ve been the parent craving an arms free nap or bedtime. I understand how overwhelming it can feel.
Over the past four years of working with families—often supporting them in transitioning to more independent sleep (as you can imagine, it’s a popular topic!)—I’ve learned what works in a way that respects your baby’s needs and supports your parenting values.

ALANA (and 16m old)
Before the workshop, I truly felt our only option might be sleep training. So glad I didn't cave because these strategies worked! It took a few weeks but he's now on a floor bed by himself most of the night. Thank you doesn't cut it, I'm so appreciative,
EMILY (and 7m old)
Everytime I looked for advice on stopping bedsharing, I felt like I was doing something wrong. This was the first time I felt like someone understood the in between and how to make changes in a way that respects my baby's needs. Thank you for everything you do.
Jessica (and 3 year old)
The practical aspects were so helpful but I also loved that it made me rethink a lot of ideas I was still carrying about it all. Now we have a balance and actually love when she is in with us 😭

"The coregulation information also helped my parter understand why our toddler still needs us for sleep. He hasn't mentioned sleep training since – even on tougher nights"

FAQs
I can’t make it live, is that okay?
Absolutely. You’ll get your replay sent to your email within 24 hours of the live workshop time – and it’s yours to keep! Come back to it anytime.
Like, for real, no sleep training?
For real, for real. I don’t teach or advocate for separation based sleep training techniques. Just science backed, practical strategies that honour your intuition and work.
Can you guarantee that my baby will be sleeping completely independently after this workshop?
No! I would never make any guarantees about babies and toddlers. What a red flag if I did! But what I can guarantee is that you’ll have the what, why, and how to make this change, including advice about what to do when it's not going well.
What age is the workshop appropriate for?
0-5 years old! I include a range of options and strategies taking into account different stages of development. However, please keep in mind that your child is a perfectly unique human. Differences in temperament and many other (environmental, health, etc) factors will ultimately determine how they may respond to changes and what they're capable of, regardless of their age.
