Supporting you gently, to help your little one get the gift of sleep.
My name is Lakshmi Kandel
I am a wife, mother, licensed clinical social worker and certified Gentle Sleep Coach®. Though I wear many hats, I can certainly say that being a parent has been both the most rewarding and the most challenging experience to date.
I am blessed to have two healthy and active little boys who keep me on my toes, and I can recall a time when I wasn't the well-rested and mindful parent I am today.

What Families Say About Working with Me
"We had tried a modified "cry it out" method when our little one was about six months old. It was tough and seemed to work for a few weeks, but then he was teething; he hit a major sleep regression, and it all fell apart. At ten months, we knew we needed help; he wasn't happy nor were we! Lakshmi helped lay out a very detailed but easy-to-follow plan that was doable and gradual. It was important that I was not leaving my baby to cry without any reassurance and that her plan considered our needs and wants.
Lakshmi provided various troubleshooting options for any issue that arose, I felt prepared and confident with this approach, and this made all the difference. After a month of dedication to the plan, we all slept through the night (even with a breastfed babe!). The best thing is that even as our little one has continued to have milestones and teething affecting his sleep, we have a solid foundation to work with, which has made all the difference. I would recommend any new (or veteran) parent to work with Lakshmi; she has been a lifesaver!

"Before considering hiring a sleep coach, our eighteen-month-old daughter cried to sleep alone. She always wanted to be in our bed between us. Having a restful night was difficult because she'd take over the entire bed. A friend introduced us to Laksmi. I was sceptical that the process would not work. During our meeting with Lakshmi via zoom, she thoroughly explained the process and gathered the information needed from us.
Lakshmi’s advice was impeccable. We found her to be knowledgeable, warm, friendly and patient. She explained everything, created a simple plan, patiently explained everything and was very encouraging and positive during the follow-ups. The changes are phenomenal. At first, it was not easy for any of us. She'd cry a lot for us to stay with her, pick her up or take her to our room. But we stuck to Laksmi's plan. Our daughter adapted to the plan and progressed very well. She now falls asleep on her own in her bed. Whenever we say "bedtime", She heads upstairs without resistance or crying. We would definitely recommend Laksmi as a sleep coach. Thank you, Lakshmi.
