Hi, I'm Katharina, certified sleep consultant, podcaster of CHILDSLEEP and STILLE NACHT and founder of Childsleep. My heart's desire is to support you and your family in better understanding and improving your child's sleep, and since 2020 I have successfully accompanied and supported numerous families on their way to more restful nights with a lot of heart and dedication.

As a mother of three, I know the challenges of sleep deprivation all too well. I have spent many nights awake, carrying my children, soothing them and sitting in the dark for hours on end.

I know how stressful this time can be and it was important to me from the very beginning never to let my children cry so as not to destroy their basic trust. Following this needs-oriented path requires a lot of patience and strong nerves. We are often trapped in our habits and find it difficult to find a way out of this stressful situation on our own, and my training as a sleep consultant has taught me how to support families in precisely these situations.

I am constantly educating myself and deepening my knowledge, especially in the areas of early childhood attachment behavior, developmental psychology and the importance of breaking through intergenerational trauma. I work specifically against conventional sleep training in order to offer sustainable and loving solutions, and I clearly distance myself from forcing sleep through, as this is often unrealistic and not in the best interests of the child. Instead, I focus on improving the sleep situation in a gentle and needs-oriented way, with the aim of giving you the knowledge and tools you need to help you and your child sleep peacefully. I am convinced that the right mix of knowledge and acceptance will give you the strength you need - and your children in particular will benefit from this.

I look forward to getting to know you and finding the best solution for your family together. Let's take this important step together and ensure that you all have restful nights again! Together with my team, we are at your side. My dear colleague Verena is also looking forward to advising and supporting you. Together we can do it!

You can also find me on Instagram, where I regularly share tips and inspiration about sleep. I look forward to seeing you there!
