When our daughter turned 6 months, I was completely falling apart—physically and emotionally. Bedtime had become a nightmare. I’d spend 20-40 minutes bouncing her on a yoga ball, trying to get her to sleep. She’s 20 pounds, so my back was screaming, and that was just the beginning. Her naps were short, she wasn’t eating well during the day (daycare would send two bottles back, untouched), and nights were even worse. She’d wake up every hour or two, feeding nonstop to make up for what she missed.

I was barely functioning. My husband and I were like ships passing in the night—he never saw me because I was going to bed as soon as she went down, just to survive the night. I was trying to work full-time, but it was impossible to focus. I’d already bought three sleep training books and even splurged on a popular course, but nothing worked. I felt like a total failure. A walking zombie. Alone. I dreaded every evening, convinced that motherhood was just supposed to be this hard and all-consuming. But deep down, I knew I couldn’t go on like this.

Enter Olga. At our first meeting, it took her less than 15 minutes to diagnose the problem. She was so direct, no sugarcoating, and gave me specific, actionable advice on what to change. (For context, another sleep specialist I’d consulted wasted the whole session on vague promises with zero solutions.) I started following Olga’s suggestions immediately. After two days of virtual guidance, she came to our house, and things started to click.

Fast forward six days. I can hardly believe the transformation. My baby now goes down for naps and bedtime with ease, falls asleep on her own in her crib, and sleeps through the night with just one quick feed—which she’ll likely drop soon. During the day, she’s a totally different baby: calm, focused, and so much happier. If you’d told me a week ago that I’d be getting 9 hours of sleep and eating dinner with my husband, I’d have laughed (or cried) in your face.

I used to swear I’d never do sleep training because I couldn’t bear the thought of letting her cry. I imagined it meant shutting the door and letting her cry it out until she learned that “mommy isn’t coming”. But Olga’s approach is completely different. It’s not just about bedtime routines or sleep environments—it’s about nutrition, understanding your baby, building healthy habits, and making gradual changes. Yes, there were some fussy moments, but they were mild and manageable. At no point did I feel like I was “shutting the door” on her. What makes her truly one of a kind is the trifecta: she’s a pediatrician, a psychologist, and a sleep coach all in one.

Olga’s program is nothing short of magic. She’s practical, to the point, and gives you the exact tools you need. I’m so grateful I trusted her because now, our days and nights feel calm and predictable. I’m watching my baby eat, play, and sleep like the healthy, happy baby she’s meant to be. There’s finally hope for my marriage, my work, and—most importantly—my sanity. I’m excited to see how the next few nights unfold! If you’re on the brink like I was, don’t wait—reach out to Olga. I’m finally loving motherhood and actually enjoying it for the first time.
