ELLA GRACE HANOVER | BABY SLEEP CONSULTANT BASED IN NYC

I’m a pediatric sleep specialist who knows that behind every child peacefully sleeping in their crib, is a parent who believed that their child could be learn this skill. A parent who was willing to give their child the support and space necessary to master independent sleep.

You can do this.

  • I want you to feel freedom in motherhood....

    When you have space for yourself, checking off a few to-dos and still having time leftover just for you. Sleep isn’t a struggle and you look forward to YOUR bedtime routine.

  • Of being able to pass "bedtime" confidently off to others...

    Because you already spent a blissful (and tiring) day with your little one. You’re ready to grab a cocktail with your friend or take an “everything” shower before sinking into your silk pillowcase.

  • And to look forward to romanticizing your daily life..

    Like sitting down to recharge at nap time with the latest Vogue, your favorite treat from the bakery down the street, and zero stress of being nap trapped.

Sleep training is not about "teaching" your child independent sleep skills. It's about allowing your child to gain confidence falling asleep in a new way with your support and encouragement.

With practice, every child can master independent sleep and every family can enjoy restful nights and brighter mornings.

  • Babies need their parents and parents need sleep. My goal is to help you confidently hold loving, consistent boundaries around sleep so your baby feels secure and your whole family gets the rest you need.

  • If you’re looking for a sleep training method that promises no tears, we’re not a good fit. The best approach for your baby is not one that fears crying but rather one that thoughtfully addresses the root cause of disruptive sleep patterns.

    It honors your family’s sleep goals, your capacity for change, feeding dynamics, developmentally appropriate expectations and sleep hygiene. It gives you the confidence to let your baby settle to sleep in a new way.

    Is it natural for your baby to cry during this transition? Absolutely. They’re navigating unfamiliar territory, feeling tired, and wishing things could stay the same. These tears are temporary. The benefits of quality rest for your baby’s health and your family’s well-being are forever.

You all deserve quality sleep.
