Your Oakville, Burlington & Milton Sleep Consultant!
We're helping Halton Region Sleep Better!
As your Oakville, Burlington & Milton Sleep Consultant Natalie Barker is a Certified Child Sleep Consultant through the Family Sleep Institute and trained Good Night Sleep Site sleep consultant currently working with families in the Milton region to achieve their sleep goals.
Sleep became a significant interest of hers upon having her own children. She quickly realized after her son was born how much learning is involved in infant and child sleep. To her surprise, both of her children struggled to sleep independently as infants which left her feeling exhausted during the postpartum period. Early on with her son, she decided to reach out for support from a Good Night Sleep Site certified sleep consultant. It was with her consultant’s moral support and guidance that her son quickly became a great sleeper. She noticed such a difference in her son’s ability to regulate his behaviour, learn new skills and his overall happiness once he was sleeping well. After her second was born, she enlisted the help of her sleep consultant again and it was shortly after seeing success with her daughter that she decided to learn more about becoming a sleep consultant herself.
Natalie works with clients throughout Oakville, Burlington, Milton, Hamilton, Mississauga, Brampton, and all of Halton. She also works with clients throughout the Greater Toronto Area and worldwide.
Before starting her own family, Natalie had supported and served families and individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Developmental Disabilities for over a decade across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). She has worked with this population from young children in early intervention to youth and adults in a variety of settings. In addition to her sleep consulting certification, Natalie also holds a Masters of Applied Disabilities Studies specializing in Applied Behaviour Analysis, she is a Registered Behaviour Analyst (ON) and a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst.
Sleep is not only crucial for sleep deprived parents during the postpartum period but also for parents of young children. Natalie believes a well-rested family unit is such a beautiful gift and she wants to give that gift to other families. She understands first-hand the challenges that come with sleep deprivation and she is passionate about working with and supporting families to achieve their unique sleep goals. When working together, she will create a customized plan to suit your family sleep goals and build a healthy sleep foundation. The plan will be tailored to your family and parental values and will also take into consideration your child’s temperament and developmental stage.
When she is not supporting families with their sleep goals she enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, going to the cottage, taking hikes at Mill Pond, and frequenting Spring Ridge Farm, and shopping for all her baby and toddler sleep needs at Snugglebugz.
