Katie Sullivan, M.Ed, CPPD, is a parenting and sleep consultant, an early childhood professional, a certified postpartum doula, a Montessori educator, and a mother of two.

She has studied and worked with young children and families for nearly 20 years, with a special love and appreciation for the infant and toddler stages. Her area of expertise is providing families with individualized practical recommendations and sleep/parenting plans. She is passionate about setting up good sleep habits from birth, serving as a resource for new parents, and troubleshooting tricky situations from zero to three.

  • Personal Philosophy

    Katie leans toward recommendations that support an infant or child’s development of independence, confidence, and self esteem while also considering physical, cognitive, and emotional growth. She believes that every baby and every family is different and will work diligently to meet your individual needs.

    Recommendations are based on:

    Development: What are the baby’s current capabilities and what is age appropriate? At this age, what is the infant or child able to do themselves? With help?

    Environment: How can we set up the environment and adjust our behavior as parents/caregivers to support children’s natural sequence of learning and growing?

    Family: What is working well, what is the child already doing, what are the child’s current interests?

    Remember, you know your child best! You know what works for your family. With Katie’s soft guidance you can discover and reach any personal parenting goals.
