“We were referred to Ghislaine by another parent who was very happy with her expertise.
We had tried about everything from reading books, blogs to taking online classes. We rocked, nursed, let baby Ella (7 months old baby girl) sleep on our chest only for her to wake up after about 45 mins. We were exhausted and desperately in need of help. Our marriage was falling apart (constantly arguing, moody, and no time for ourselves…). Not only for our marriage but Ella was always cranky, fussy, rubbing her eyes due to lack of enough sleep. When she started falling behind her milestones, we knew something had to change. We needed something that is effective with minimal crying and Ghislaine was simply a Godsend! After filling up an intake form with questions specific to our daughter’s sleeping arrangement, daily schedule, temperament, sleeping routines, milestones, activities and more, she was very quick to respond and within 24 hours, we had a customized sleep plan for Ella. She made sure to ask what methods we were comfortable with and was mindful of us being first time parents. Within 4 nights, our little girl was sleeping through the night from 7pm to 7pm. Our first night was the toughest, but when we texted Ghislaine in the evening (after hours), she immediately responded! This was a huge help since she could tweak the situation in real time which boosted our confidence as new parents and knew what to do the next time we got into a similar situation. It’s been 6 months since we used her service and Ella has been sleeping well since then. We also loved that she included a personalized cheat sheet that included what to expect as baby Ella reaches different milestones like how to deal with sleep regressions, adjusting her sleep schedules according to her age as well as other things that could affect her sleep such as teething… This made a huge difference since we just follow her guidelines and adjust the schedule without the need to spend more on consultations.
We could not thank you enough Ghislaine! You are truly our sleep fairy! Highly recommended”

“Our son could not go to sleep unless after rocking or nursing him. he would wake up 4 times per night and will go to sleep only if I nursed him again. He would nurse for about 2 minutes then fall back to sleep. I was getting so tired, and during the day his naps were all over the place.
I thought it was normal for a 14 months old boy until a friend told me that her baby; who is the same age as mine, sleeps through the night. She gave me her tips on how she helps her baby sleep through the night but it was not working for our baby Josh. I did my own research but it
was hard to put all the advices together to fit my baby’s sleeping situation. Before I thought it was ridiculous to hire a sleep consultant but I had reached to the point where I was so tired, my little Josh was so cranky and refusing to eat. One evening when I was doing my regular search, I stumbled on Ghislaine’s website. After reading a bunch of positive reviews about her service, I decided to take a leap of faith and go for it. That turned out to be the best decision I have ever made for our son. She gave us many tips on what to look out for, how to deal with different sleeping scenarios and the best part was that she also walked with us, assisted us and answered questions and concerns during the sleep training. We were able to eliminate all of the night feedings within two nights (I know two nights!) since they were associated to “comfort” feeding that baby Josh had developed a sleep association with. He was sleeping through the night at night 3. For nap time, it took about 9 days for the schedule and all the changes to sink in. She had already told us that naps tend to take longer to adjust to so we knew what to expect. I wish we had found Ghislaine sooner. Everything is now falling into place again. Now after bedtime routine, we put him in the crib awake, no need for 30 minutes of rocking and he falls asleep within 5 minutes in his crib. We now have extra time to wind down and have a relaxed evening, watch a favorite show or simply just cuddle on our couch while Josh is asleep. Ghislaine knows all the ups and downs of the sleep training process and I really appreciate that she kind of held our hand until we saw results. Very grateful that she went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Ghislaine!!!”

“Our baby boy Christopher had been sleeping ok though we had not been “sleep-training” him. He would go to sleep fine in his bassinet. At around 4 months old, as he was beginning to roll over and practicing his “da-da” sounds, he kept waking up at night. He became impatient and would just break out with intense crying, arching his back and he gradually became inconsolable. We talked to our pediatrician and he suggested that as long as Christopher is not sick, hungry or need a diaper change, that we should let him cry it out that he will eventually give up and go to sleep. We were not comfortable with that much crying so we tried different methods to solve the issues on our own. We held him, put him in the car seat and drove around and that’s the only time he would take at least 30 mins nap. At night, it was a struggle since we would let him sleep in our arms (we would take turns, me and my husband). After a week, we realized that this can not be the new normal. When we were looking for help, we needed a gentle approach to sleep training since we had had enough crying.We mostly liked Ghislaine’s dedication to actually getting her clients real results without using “crying it out” or excessive crying methods. She pointed out that baby Christopher was experiencing a 4 months sleep regression. She assured us that “ though it can be difficult for parents to deal with baby’s regression, baby Chris was reaching some of the very important milestones like the maturing of his sleep cycle at this age which is essential in helping babies sleep better. She talked about the importance of staying consistent with the plan and following the guidelines. Our son was sleeping through the night by day 5. He can now soothe himself back to sleep without crying and sleeps independently in his crib. We never thought that Christopher could go to sleep on his own without crying especially in a matter of just one week. Ghislaine is very understanding and she prioritizes what the client feels more comfortable with and she does it without judging you.
We highly recommend Ghislaine!”
Maggie:
“Ghislaine did a great job adjusting our baby girl sleep habits. My husband was constantly
traveling when Lia was 9 months old. As we were spending so much time together, sometimes
allowing her to take a nap or sleep in my bed, it became so hard to get her to sleep in her room and in her crib. I just let her be but when my husband’s travel reduced, we knew she had to sleep in her crib. She was resistant, very upset whenever we entered her nursery to get her ready for nighttime. She would protest and cry hard that we constantly gave in. A friend who had heard about Ghislaine through a Facebook post sent us her information and said , “ Ghislaine is a very good trainer, you will be very lucky if she accepts to work with you”. We couldn’t have been any happier that we met Ghislaine. Since Lia was now very used to co-sleeping, Ghislaine suggest a gentle approach to sleep train Lia without intense crying. We could not believe how her methods made the transition very smooth.
Lia was sleeping independently in her room, in her crib and without any sleep props within 2 weeks. Will definitely recommend her to any parent who wants to sleep train their baby without being overwhelmed by the process.”
Jane:
“This was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made for our daughter. She now sleeps on her own, we no longer need to take turns spending hours rocking her to sleep. We feel very lucky to have worked with Ghislaine. We recommended her to our friends and they loved her too!”
Madelyn:
“Thank you for making us feel comfortable and for answering all of our questions without judging us as new parents! We were nervous and worried about the amount of tears since our daughter has high temper but you made the process go much better than we were expecting and within 4 nights she was sleeping through the night and ON HER OWN.
If anyone needs a trainer, Ghislaine is the sleep fairy!”
Rita:
“Our baby was fighting bedtime and naps that unless he slept in our bed, he would cry, and pretend to spit up and eventually figured out how to stand up and spit out every time we put him in his crib. He would cry his heart out and was inconsolable. Ghislaine came in and did her magic! She was very communicative, she closely followed up on the plan, she would tell us what to expect and how to handle the situations (which was a big help). She tweaked the plan, adjusted it along the way according to how the baby was responding and we love how she empowers you and makes you feel comfortable. Ghislaine, you are the best!”
Melissa:
“It was great working with Ghislaine! Now our family is quiet at night, which we still can’t believe is real. Highly recommend this sleep trainer!”
Rea:
“We heard about Ghislaine from a parent at our “Story time” class. She knew that we were struggling with our son’s sleeping and she said she had heard a lot of good things about Ghislaine that we should give her a try. We are extremely happy with the results and what a blessing to get to work with Ghislaine! Can’t recommend her highly enough”
Leslie:
“Ghislaine is very experienced and knowledgeable at what she does. You can tell that she wants to see you succeed at sleep training your baby. She holds your hand until you know what to do and she can tell when you are still not sure and guides you until you see results. Our baby started to sleep through the night on the 2nd night. Naps took longer but she had warned us about it. Baby was doing great for naps within 10 days. We also loved that she speaks French:) She has been a life changer to our little family.”
Cassandra:
“Ghislaine was very easy to work with. She made the process smooth by her
non-judgmental attitude. She made us feel at ease and offered much more support than we had anticipated. Will recommend her to everyone”
Hannah:
“Having someone who understood what we were going through was a bonus.
At one time during sleep training, the baby went “potty” at the beginning of his nap and I was confused whether I should go in and change him (which would make him upset) or if I should let him be. I texted Ghislaine, we FaceTimed right away to see baby in monitor and she guided me on what to do in real time. Our baby is now a great sleeper. Highly and highly recommended!”
Sylvia:
“Talented sleep trainer! She troubleshot sleep issues in real time and all of her recommendations made a huge difference. Wish we found her sooner!
Thanks Ghislaine”
Kathy:
“I can’t believe that my baby is sleeping through the night. After 3 days of working with Ghislaine, our son began sleeping through the night. It felt so good that I asked my husband if we should check on the baby. I couldn’t believe that he can sleep through the night. Ghislaine was our sleep fairy. Highly recommended!!!!!”
Gina:
“If you are tired and have hit the rock bottom, Ghislaine is your go to sleep fairy!
We are glad we met her at a baby class. Our daughter’s sleeping is way better than we were praying for. Her naps were a mess and she couldn’t sleep longer than 30 mins. Ghislaine’s intermediate gentle methods did the trick within 2 weeks. Our daughter was throwing tantrums and we almost gave in. With Ghislaine’s persistence and cheering for us, we made it through! She is so dedicated and finds joy in seeing families succeed at sleep training. We love you Ghislaine!”
Cecily:
“Great experience with Ghislaine. She surely knows the highs and lows of sleep training. Our 13 months old son’s mood has gone from being fussy and irritable to a mostly happy little boy. For the first time yesterday he used his sippy cup without our help. Before he was easily irritated and now that he is getting more sleep, his overall mood has improved and more importantly, he is willing to try new things!”
