Hello!
Welcome to Little Heart Sleep Solutions! Let me tell you a bit of OUR STORY — we are here to support you and your little one so that you can get the sleep you need and deserve!
Little Heart Sleep Solutions focuses on gentle sleep techniques that teach your little one the skill of independent sleeping.
This journey will not be without some tears, as little ones communicate with tears to protest a change in their sleep, but you will NEVER be asked to ignore your little one’s cry, or leave them alone in a room to cry it out; you will be able to help them each step of the way.
Let Me Introduce Myself…
Hi, I’m Esther Shiels – Registered Nurse and Pediatric Sleep Consultant…
and yes—I’ve been the exhausted parent, googling sleep tips at 2 a.m. with one hand while bouncing a baby with the other.
My journey into sleep consulting didn’t start in a classroom—it started in the dark; during those long, blurry nights with my own baby. I know what it feels like to love your child with your whole heart while feeling desperate for sleep. I also know how confusing and overwhelming all the conflicting advice can be—especially when it doesn’t align with your parenting values.
That’s why I do things differently.
I’m a certified sleep consultant who believes in gentle, responsive, and evidence-based sleep support. I don’t use the cry-it-out methods and I commit to work closely with you, to create a plan that feels right; for your baby, your lifestyle, and your instincts.
My role is to walk beside you, not ahead of you. To guide you, but never pressure you. And to remind you that needing help doesn’t mean you’re failing—it just means you’re a parent.
When I’m not helping families find rest, you’ll find me playing with my beautiful boys and incredible husband, or working as a nurse in our Emergency and Trauma Department. I particularly love working as a sleep consultant, because I’ve lived it—and I know how transformative a solid nights of sleep can be.
If you’re ready for sleep support that’s gentle, personalized, and free of judgment—I would be honoured to work with you!
