Hello!

KALAF SO MEU NOME LOGO_edited.jpg

your maternity nurse & sleep training expert

I am a woman, daughter and wife, working as a Certified Sleep Training Consultant, qualified Maternity Nurse, Nanny and studying to become a Psychotherapist.

 

Why do I do all this? Because I believe in balance but also in diversity. Sleep, health and mental health are intrinsically connected, no doubt about it.

 

I believe we can fulfill our true potential and calling in life, and I see family as a strong, rooted foundation to achieve that, no matter how our family structure is.

 

My calling is based on truth, independence and equilibrium and helping families, parents and couples, I'm able to reach others' lives and help out!

 

Why Maternity Nurse and Sleep Training Consultant? Well, I have figured during several years that parents are resilient figures. However, sometimes they just need a gentle and professional new set of eyes with the right strategy.

 

Are you ready to achieve the balanced life you deserve by helping your little one?

Services

Maternity Pre and Post Natal Consultancy

My Newborn Baby Preparation Consulting Service and Post-Natal Support are designed to provide you with personalized support and expert guidance, ensuring you feel confident and prepared for your baby’s arrival, or help you settle on your home aligning with you needs, preferences and circumstances. Enjoy here my Newborn Baby Checklist product.​

 

We begin with an in-depth, one-time consultation to assess your specific needs, preferences, and circumstances. Based on our evaluation, I create a tailored post-natal care plan that covers all aspects of newborn care and your postpartum recovery. This plan includes practical advice and strategies to help you navigate the early weeks with your baby, such as feeding, breastfeeding challenges, routines, sleep routines, soothing techniques, bathing, changing nappies and managing difficult situations.

I offer virtual and in-home options to suit your schedule or needs.

 

Within the first month following your initial consultation, I offer two 15-minute video calls, made to check on your well-being and your baby’s progress, making any necessary adjustments and address any questions or challenges you may encounter during the early postnatal period.​

What exactly my Sleep Training consists of

I would like to tell you about the essence of my Sleep Training approach

(and what it's not)

GENTLE APPROACH

I DO NOT work with leaving your child crying nonstop alone, (aka 'Cry it Out'). My programmes focus on responding in some way so they will feel secure, heard and loved.

I am not saying there won't be resistance, some frustration and crying on their part. However, it will be addressed with compassion, consciousness and consistency.

 

Believe me when I say, the gentle approach serves you too...

YOU ARE YOUR CHILD'S BEST TEACHER

I work with a team spirit.

I will bring information, expertise, approach, experience, reassurance, and you will bring your goal, your will and most important of all: your knowledge of your child.

Who will put all this in motion? YOU, and you are more than capable of doing that, I can guarantee. You are their best teacher, because you know what you want and where you want to go.

RESPONSIVENESS & PRESENCE

Expressing being there for your child, being present, responding in a responsible and consistent way will create a secure attachment with your child.

 

Sleeping Training IS NOT abandoning your child without any response, IS NOT ignoring them, let them feeling no help will ever come, but IS BEING THERE, responding accordingly and responsibly.

CUSTOM-MADE PLANS

ONE SIZE DOESN'T FIT ALL.

 

Probably, you've already tried different theories, books, YouTube videos, other people's advice...and ended up with the same result: can work for a few days, no way that book (or whatever resource you used) managed to put you doing the right thing for your unique situation. I am right?

 

My techniques will suit your child's temperament, your needs, your goals and where you are right now. The strategies are made for you and your little one, no one else!

about me

In the last 5 years, I decided to integrally immerse myself in childcare as a qualified Maternity Nurse, Nanny and more recently,  Childminder. I had the opportunity to work in London, Brazil, Greece, France and Sweden and increase my knowledge of infant development, behaviour and emotional regulation. 

I consider myself a courageous woman, embracing the unknowns life gave to me, and working through adversity and new life experiences.

During this time I had a blast working privately for different families, taking care of their most precious thing: their children. I formed unforgettable bonds with them and could pass on my knowledge, experience and my special Brazilian warmth.

What parents are saying

We are grateful for Gabi, as she is always so understanding and gentle in her approach. She listened emphatically and provided solutions that works for me and family. She helped to diagnose my situation and gave me useful tips to overcome it. I’m happier with my daughter’s sleep and knowledgeable in attending to her at night.
