About Us
Hi, I’m Alejandra Maldonado
a Pediatric Gentle Sleep Coach® and mother.
I became a mother to a baby boy in 2020. This was just at the beginning of the pandemic, and because of this, my family couldn’t be with us to give us any support. This is when the journey of being sleep deprived began for both my husband and me.
My son wouldn’t sleep unless I was holding, rocking, or nursing him. I expected that as the months passed and my son grew, he would settle better when I put him in his crib. That never happened, and as a result, we were severely sleep deprived. That’s when I really understood the importance of sleep for both babies and their parents.
I felt so frustrated. I searched for information online and read all the books on the subject I could get my hands on, but none of the information I found worked for my baby.
Eventually, after 15 months of trial and failure, I discovered the Gentle Sleep Coach® approach. It looked promising, so I reached out to a qualified Gentle Sleep Coach for help.
From the first day I started working with the coach, my son slept through the full night, in his own room, by himself! It was like “magic”. From that point on the whole family could sleep and be well rested. I was so
delighted, I cried, but this time they were tears of joy.
Of course, behind this “magic” is a lot of work, we had to be consistent and patient throughout the process.
After my experiences, I really wanted to help families that are going through the same sleep deprivation I had experienced. I decided to enroll in the Parenting Certification where I learned about the four pillars of
parenting: lactation, complementary feeding, sleep, and positive discipline. I graduated to become a
keebo where I can help more families.
Once I finished that program, I decided to register in the Gentle Sleep Coach Program by Kim West, the Sleep Lady. Now I am a qualified Gentle Sleep Coach for newborns to 6 years of age.
If your baby/children are having sleep issues, don’t suffer in silence. I can help!
I am fluent in both English and Spanish.
