Tani — certified sleep consultant, preschool teacher of 11 years, and mom of three

Meet Tani

The heart behind Gentle Growth.

I'm a mom of three grown children, and I've spent over 20 years in education — the last 11 in preschool and early childhood. I hold a Bachelor of Education, and I'm also a behavioral consultant, helping families understand and support their children's emotional and developmental needs.

As a sleep, potty, and behavioral consultant, my passion is helping families navigate some of the biggest toddler milestones with patience, understanding, and support. Every child grows at their own pace, and I believe in a gentle approach that meets children where they are.

The name Gentle Growth reflects what I've seen again and again: growth happens when children feel safe, supported, and encouraged. Whether we're working on sleep, potty learning, behavior, or healthy routines, my goal is to create positive experiences that build confidence in both children and parents.

Family Stories

Real parents. Real outcomes.

Within days of starting her sleep plan, the nights got longer and the bedtime battles softened. If you're on the fence, don't be. Our whole family sleeps better because of her.

We were exhausted and unsure we'd ever sleep again. Tani built a plan around our son's personality, and soon he was sleeping through the night, then guided us just as smoothly through potty training.

Sleep + Potty

★★★★★

Tani made potty training our son so much easier than I expected: a clear, easy-to-follow plan and steady encouragement through every bump. What I thought would be stressful ended up being such a positive experience.

How It Works

The Gentle Growth Method

A plan tailored to your child's stage — delivered through one proven, 4-week process.

First, we meet your child where they are

Photo — Newborn A mother cradling her sleeping newborn

Newborn · 0–4 Months

Gentle Foundations

Soothing and healthy sleep rhythms — the groundwork we lay before any training begins.

Photo — Baby A smiling mother holding her baby

Baby · 5–24 Months

Independent Sleep

The prime window for gentle, responsive sleep training — longer nights, never cry-it-out.

Toddler · 2–4 Years

Boundaries & Big Feelings

Bedtime battles, early rising, and gentle potty training — which starts around 18 months and grows through the toddler years.

Then we follow the same proven path

Discover

A 60-minute intake — your child, your home, and what you've already tried.

Plan

A fully custom written plan: schedule, environment, and language scripts you both use.

Implement

You execute; Tani checks in daily and troubleshoots in real time.

Lasting Success

Regression-proofing and a 30-day follow-up so the changes actually last.

Also Available

Gentle potty training, when they're ready.

Potty learning has its own rhythm, and pushing before a child is ready is what makes it stall. Tani reads the readiness signs and builds a calm, day-by-day plan — with the same responsive support you'd get for sleep. Available on its own, or bundled with sleep to save.

We've tried everything — why would this be different?

Most "methods" you've tried were built for someone else's family. The Gentle Growth Method starts with what you've already tried, why it didn't stick, and what's actually happening in your home — then builds a plan around that, not around a one-size-fits-all framework.

Will you make us do cry-it-out?

No. Gentle Growth is built around responsive, attachment-supportive sleep training. There are dozens of effective approaches that don't involve cry-it-out — we'll find the one your family can actually live with.

What if my partner and I aren't on the same page?

Totally normal — and one of the biggest reasons sleep training fails. Part of your custom plan includes language scripts and a routine you both agree on, so the inconsistency that's keeping your toddler awake gets resolved first.

My toddler is also potty training — can we work on both at once?

Yes — and this is actually a strength of the program. Sleep regressions often coincide with potty milestones, and most coaches handle them separately. We address both inside the same 4-week framework.

What ages do you work with?

Newborn through four years, with a tailored approach at each stage. Newborns (0–4 months) get gentle foundations — soothing and healthy rhythms rather than formal training. Babies (5–24 months) are the sweet spot for gentle sleep training, and toddlers (2–4 years) get help with boundaries, bedtime battles, and big feelings.

Can I do potty training without the sleep program?

Absolutely. Potty training is a standalone 3-week program, so you can book it on its own whenever your child is showing readiness. If you're tackling both milestones, sleep and potty can be handled together in one plan.

Do you offer in-home support?

Yes — for families in South Florida, Tani offers a premium in-home package with hands-on support right where your routines happen. It's a separate offering from the standard remote coaching; just ask about it on your free call and she'll walk you through it.

Do you guarantee results?

Tani doesn't guarantee outcomes — every child is different, and any coach who promises a specific result is overselling. What is guaranteed: a fully custom plan, real-time support during implementation, and a 30-day follow-up window to adjust as your child changes.

Your toddler can sleep through the night. It starts with a 15-minute conversation.

No pressure. No pitch. Just a real conversation about what's happening at your house — and whether we're a fit to fix it.
