Kyra Hendrix Gentle Sleep Coach®
Your baby was sleeping a nice long stretch, and now you’re suddenly called in every hour.
Get this little bookIt’s 5 a.m., and your little one is wide awake. You’re still tired yourself.
Get this little bookFree as an e-book. You open it right away.
We already know those tips.
With what's going on with your little one, what you do at bedtime, and what to do when it gets hard.
Protest is part of it, because your little one is learning something new. You stay close and comfort. While your little one learns to fall asleep independently, you start by the bed and move a bit farther away every few nights.
You start by the bed and move away in small steps: by the bed, halfway, by the door, in the hallway, out of sight. If it gets hard for a moment, you take a step back.
Sleep coaching isn't always a straight line up. What to do then is in your plan.
Even if one of you secretly enjoys the co-sleeping.
“Going in, we were really scared it would be a whole month of hell.”
“That you could stay with your little one, and that if it wasn't going well for a bit, you were still allowed to take a small step back.”

First with Calmzy, a sleep company for adults I co-founded. We helped tens of thousands of adults sleep better at night. Now I'm a Gentle Sleep Coach®, certified through Kim West, and I've already helped more than 100 families. I've seen it from two sides.

Me: You're doing so well! Quick heads-up: night 2 can sometimes be a bit harder.
A parent: Thanks for the encouraging words! And the warning haha! We'll give it our best again tomorrow morning 🙂💪🏻
Me: When little ones are sick, we mostly follow what they need.
A parent: Thank you, so glad to hear this doesn't have to mean a step back 🥰
A parent: Just a quick note, I'm so grateful for your help Kyra! I'd lost the thread a long time ago. It really helps to keep it up like this and keep going.🙏

Kyra did a fantastic job helping us with our little boy (almost 2), who was routinely waking up far too early. Starting a sleep coaching program like this felt like a big step for us, but in the end we're very happy we took it. With her daily feedback, Kyra really gives you the confidence that her approach works if you stay consistent, and it did! We really recommend Kyra to anyone who has a difficult sleeper!

We worked with Kyra from Sleepy Steps for a few weeks because our little one woke up every night and then couldn't get back to sleep.
What struck us right away: Kyra really listened to our story and made a tailored plan from it. She checked in regularly on WhatsApp, never pushy, but genuinely involved, and we also had a few video calls with her.
Her tips were practical and worked for us. Our little one sleeps well again now. Kyra, thank you so much, we warmly recommend you.

So grateful for Kyra's help for our family. Without her support I couldn't have done the sleep training. It felt safe, tuned to our little boy's needs and to my feelings. Most important of all, it worked. Baby went from waking every 1.5 hours to 1 bottle a night. Falls asleep easily during the day, and family members and daycare can put baby to bed too. A night-and-day difference! Better for the baby, for me and for the people around me.

In my lessons, I show you on video how to do what your plan says, with a cheat sheet for every lesson.
What does it cost?
I ask my own questions, write your little one's plan myself and guide you personally, every day. The whole Sleepy Steps Academy is included.

My lessons for every age, from pregnancy to age 5, and your plan checks in every morning.
You get all three of my sleep courses:
Teething, being sick, a vacation or the next phase: you'll know what to do. You never pay again.
About your own little one, right on your screen: what's going on, what to do by day and at night, and what comes next.
Your plan takes into account the age, how your little one falls asleep and night feeds, including breastfeeding. It also checks whether it could be a phase. The approach and the pace follow my lessons and your answers.
Your plan is free, with no call and no payment details, and it stays yours. There is an offer: The Sleepy Steps Academy, my lessons for every age, where I show you how to do it. And if you want me to write your plan myself and guide you every day, you can choose to have me by your side. That's up to you.
Every little one is different. For some it takes a few nights, for others it takes weeks. With most approaches, your plan looks at a few nights together: if they weren't any harder, you go one step further.
That's what everyone says. Your plan tells you what's going on with your little one, and whether it's likely to pass on its own.
Send your plan as a PDF. That way your partner can read what's going on with your little one. For grandma or daycare, there's a sheet to print.
“Yes, it really is, so valuable. We finally found some calm, and we got our evenings together back too”
Thank you. We'll fix it as soon as we can.
