Gentle parenting &
sleep support
Hi, I’m Daiana, founder of Sleep and Roots. With over 15 years as a teacher and 7+ years as a nanny, I’ve spent my career caring for children and supporting families. Today I combine that experience with specialized training in sleep consulting and respectful parenting coaching to help families feel more rested and more confident, through a respectful, personalized approach, because no two children are the same, and no family should have to figure it out alone. At Sleep & Roots, my job isn’t to lead you toward one predetermined method. It’s to help your family find an approach, whether that’s sleep, the everyday challenges of parenting, or both, that feels respectful, safe and sustainable for you. We support each family closely and respectfully, building healthy habits at their own pace. Whether you need support with sleep, parenting, or both, you’ll have real guidance by your side every step of the way. Read more

Families Who’ve Worked With Us
Real words from real families.
“We’re so happy with our experience. We started out with a lot of doubts, feeling discouraged, like nothing could help our daughter sleep better. Then we found Daiana, who supported us with so much warmth. After a month and a half, we brought her night wakings down to two and our own rest improved so much.”
“Our experience was so meaningful and eye-opening. It helped us get organized so our little one could rest better. Small adjustments that made a big difference, and helped us manage family life so much better. We learned so much!”
“Daiana has helped us so much to improve our baby’s sleep, following up on every little detail and guiding us to better understand her needs around rest. She was so warm and truly respectful of our decisions, and best of all, our baby sleeps so well now.”
