Guest Speaking & Sleep Parties
Guest Speaking
We love to speak to groups!
We have lots of experience teaching private groups or appearing as guest speakers for parenting organizations, childcares and preschools, child activity programs, and interested corporations. We can speak on topics such as:
- How to set up healthy sleep habits for your newborn from day one
- How to address common sleep challenges for toddlers and older children
- How to handle difficult sleep and stress transitions, such as moving to daycare or the arrival of a sibling
- How to find a sleep schedule that works with various parenting styles, such as co-sleeping and nursing on demand
- How to manage daytime activities, patterns, and schedules to ensure happy, healthy sleep for the whole family
Please contact us for availability and rates.
Sleep Parties

Host your own Sleep Party in the comfort of your own home!
Get 4-5 couples together and have us come to you. We will cover all topics based on ages and will answer all of your sleep questions.
Parties are in-person for families in the Ottawa, North Bay, and surrounding areas. But we can also have an online video chat party for families across North America. Don’t let geography prevent your family from getting a good night’s sleep!
Party pricing is based on distance traveled, length of party, and number of families attending. We recommend allotting one half-hour per attending family to ensure that everyone has time to have their personal questions addressed.
Babies in slings are welcome. Toddlers and older children are best left in the care of a friend, or supervised by a dedicated caregiver in an adjoining room.
Please contact us for more information, availability, and a price estimate.

What our Clients are Saying
-
We have been resourcing Elisa from when our son was 15 months to present, 3 years old. Her techniques are extremely supportive and compassionate. She was especially easy to contact and to stay in touch with in the early days, which was very helpful. Within a week our son slept... read more through the night and I was able to wean off breastfeeding. Over time it only got better! Not only is she hilarious and kind, she knows exactly how to tackle any situations we faced. We circled back to her about a year or so later to get help with potty training and toddler behaviours, again she came through with her magic!!! Her advice, tips and tweaks truly worked within days, every single time. She's worth the cost but also now has a social worker on her roster so we're able to use our benefits through work to cover the cost. Thanks sooooo much Elisa, we always love our calls with you and wouldn't hesitate to refer you to all our family and friends!

2024-01-29I can't possibly express the gratitude I have for the space that Elisa held for us when our baby was waking up every 1.5 hours. She was thorough, honest, direct, and most importantly respectful of where we were at. The fact that I changed my mind three times during... read more the same conversation did not phase her. She went along with it and encouraged us to do what's best for us. She asked questions and consistently actually listened to our concerns. She made sure we felt comfortable with all our decisions as we went along. She was available at all kinds of hours, guiding us through the process as it was unfolding. She stayed with us throughout the transition even though it took longer, because our guy was older (6 months) and so we had all kinds of stuff come up (like teething and a cold). She is knowledgeable, and yet never pushy. She is thorough, and yet supportive. She is caring and compassionate, and never judgmental. I have nothing but the best things to say about her. In fact, I picked her out of the three I spoke with BECAUSE she could really hear me... Suffice it to say, our baby (and we!) has been sleeping so well since he learned how to self-soothe. I feel so grateful for having so much of my life back -- my bed, my room, my space, my freedom, my peace...my SLEEP! I'm extremely glad we hired her, and I would do it again in a heartbeat! I also highly recommend her to everyone around me...whether you're training a three month old or a toddler -- this is THE person to contact! Truly, there is nothing like a well-rested, predictable baby. Plus their podcast and blog are pretty awesome and informative, too. I've been keeping up with listening or reading, and I've found everything helpful even now, six months later. If you're thinking about calling these people for help, clearly, I couldn't recommend it more. They are simply life-savers! And I'm forever grateful.

2022-01-29My child is still too young for formal sleep training, but Elisa took some time to chat with me, providing reassurance and several concrete suggestions to implement now, before training. Her input was thoughtful, insightful, and caring - she really listened to what I had to say, and provided relevant,... read more realistic ideas and great support!

2022-01-29Pam and Elisa have been a godsend! After almost losing my mind due to fatigue and frustration from my daughter not sleeping well, I am proud to say that she is now on a schedule that works for us thanks to the help I received from restful parenting! It was... read more a big commitment for my husband and I but so worth it. It’s really nice to have my night time freedom and bed back! The best part is knowing that my little girl is getting the sleep that she needs and thankfully, so are we.
