My wife and I were paired up with Chelse Laqua. Our goal was to get our child to sleep through the night, disassociate feedings from sleeping, and to get longer naps. We were able to reach all of our goals through Chelse's guidance in roughly two weeks. Chelse was extremely empathetic, engaged, and helpful. She made the whole process very comfortable and educational for us. And provided us with extensive materials and guides for future success outside of the program. This service is absolutely worth every penny! I can't recommend it enough! read more

We began working with Paulina when my daughter was 8 weeks old. We found out about her services through my sister who had worked with her when my niece (who had an extreme case of colic) was 4 months old. Working with Paulina was the best decision we ever made! We were going crazy without sleep. Every evening before the sun set I would begin to get the "Night Scaries" and "Night Dread". I was having so much anxiety around the nighttime because I knew I wasn't going to sleep and I knew how dangerous it could be if I fell asleep holding her. Paulina's guidance changed our lives and gave us a sense of peace and control. Instead of our daughter's sleep being a chance of luck, it turned into a schedule with clear expectations. We went from 100% contact naps and 2 hour bedtime stretches to 100% crib naps with 12 hours of straight night sleep! AMAZING! I believe the reason for our quick success is due to the specifically tailored plan she drafts up! She spent so much time with us going over everything we were currently doing and then gave us an extremely detailed plan to follow with all the what-ifs built in! We are incredibly grateful for Paulina and would work with her again for all future babies! If you have a newborn or child not sleeping ... don't hesitate to work with Paulina! She's absolutely wonderful! read more

This review is for Chelse at Paulina Temple Sleep Solutions :) I am 100% against cry it out. The person who wrote the negative review obviously did not put the time or the effort into the training that was provided. My husband and I thought we had tried everything, but turns out we just needed some professional help. I will preface this by saying our first did not get sleep trained because of health problems (really bad GERD that would make her vomit any at level of agitation). She didn't sleep through the night until 18 months. We could not see ourselves doing that again. Our 7.5 month old was absolutely miserable. She would wake up every night like a newborn and take the most pitiful cat naps. Every day felt like a new battle and we were losing the war. We tried rocking, nursing, bottle, co-sleeping, dark room, sound machine, going for car rides.. seemed like she was just never going to sleep. Then we found chelse. I'm not going to sugarcoat it - the first night was rough. There is crying involved. It's inevitable, but it is NOT "cry it out. I am 100% against that. I had my husband take the reigns the first few nights, then we gradually introduced me into the bedtime routine. She took to the training so fast. She is getting two 1.5-2 hour naps every single day and sleeping about 11 hours a night. I could not ask for more. Some of these programs are $1500 online and we paid 1/3 of the price. Sleep is Invaluable!! We are so pleased with the return on our investment. Thank you Chelse read more

Truly the sleep angel we needed. No joke, this woman knows her sleep stuff. Our 5 month old was waking nearly every hour. We were zombies. She had a very thorough intake call with us to understand everything about our son...even details from his birth! She gave us a very straightforward schedule to follow and tips for troubleshooting. We saw a difference in 2 nights, no joke. Now our son sleeps through the night no problem. Paulina was readily available via phone and text to help guide us through the sleep training program which she customized just for us. I cannot recommend her enough! I wish we had utilized her for our first born. She is seriously worth every. single. penny. read more

Chelse was a dream come trail. She helped us sleep during our four month old and gave us all the tips and tools we needed even though he was our second. It's amazing how much you forget and how different every baby is. We got our life back, and she was so easy to talk to and seem genuinely interested in our baby and helping us get peace of mind and sleep. Everything was very easy to follow. She was available and I would recommend it to everyone! We still engage with her when we need touchups which is very rare our baby sleeps amazing. read more

Paulina is the best at what she does. She saved me literally from a mental break down. She was my last chance at having a basic life and getting some sleep in the night. Reached out to her for our 18 months old who wakes up every two hours the entire night and it was exhausting both for me and the baby. She used to use my breast to go back to sleep. Paulina worked with us in working out a plan for her and we religious did everything on the plan every day for a week. Paulina was professional and answered every question of ours during the scheduled calls. Our toddler now sleeps through most of the nights and eats well in the day since she stopped all those midnight dream feeds. Paulina is the reason moms like me get some sleep so they are ready to take care of their babies in the day. I cannot thank her enough. read more

We had great success with our toddler when we started with Chelse. She was extremely helpful and was available to us by text or call. Definitely recommend it ! read more

Paulina is amazing!!!! We were having such a challenging time with our three year old right after we brought his little sister home. I was going crazy between a 3 year old who would not sleep and an infant. Our son would not go to sleep at night without a fight and a parent lying down in bed with him. He would wake up several times at night, and also wake up really early. He had every excuse in the book (I have to pee, the room is too dark, I am scared, etc) and we fell for it! Paulina helped us create and navigate a plan to teach him what was expected of him and it worked! Paulina did a great job getting me and my husband aligned on the steps we had to take. She helped us stay consistent with the program with constant check ins. I cannot say enough good things about Paulina. Sleep is so important for a healthy, productive family - do not wait to help your children and the entire family get the sleep we all deserve! read more

We recently hired Paulina to help our son with his sleep needs. This was a mistake and I want to save others from making the same mistake. Now I must say I never write reviews unless they are positive because I just don't want to spread the negatively but I am so disappointed. With this review, I was also waiting a couple weeks to write it to see if she would do the right thing but that didn't happen as well as I didn't want to write emotionally, but with facts. Read if you want and just I guess beware. I digress and will state only the facts now. We bought the baby sleep package for 4-17 months for $700 which was supposed to include a 2 week plan that was "so called" in depth, and individualized to fit my son. I Google "sleep training for ten months" and what came out of the search was basically the plan she apparently wrote out for us- the schedule, how much to feed him, sleep environment, Ferber method/cry it out, bedtime routine- all of it. Moreover, the plan she provided basically is a glorified cry it out method but gradual; probably more similar to the Ferber maybe? But she prides herself on saying it's not a crying out plan, don't let her get ya, it is. (This is My opinion). In the plan She provided a 90 minute consultation; which this was the most informative part of the experience and was great! Additionally, in the plan there was to be 6 meetings and unlimited texts and emails. I am a terrible texter at best but even I was 1,000% let down on this aspect as well. Her communication was terrible. I would text and get a text the next day, or even two days after. And I must say I was respectful with times with my texting as well and didn't try to take advantage of this form of communication by any means, but still this lacked the entire time period. Which then lead to responses such as "so sorry, but instead do this... or "yeah I would have done that differently I would have done _____". Also, with the phone meetings she claims she provides- she cancelled and reschedule four of six meetings. One of which she said she had to cancel completely but would be available through text (so essentially I didn't even get six then), however she then didn't even respond until the next day, where she responded, "what I would have done".... Well thanks but that doesn't really help 24 hours later and not in the moment, thanks. Our last meeting she cancelled twice and finally I just said you know what we are done with this. After, She apologized and said I was valid and right in feeling that her communication was off, that her reliability was lacking and that she didn't provide the services stated in the plan. Moreover she says but thanks so much and that was it. I'm sorry, but I have a real problem with people in the service industry apologizing and acknowledging their actions are lacking but then keeping my money and saying sorry better luck next time. To conclude, I want to also bring up if this even has helped my son and his progress- my son's naps are still terrible and he wakes up at least 2-3 times a night. Now granted this is far better than the 8-11 times a night I'll say that, so yes there's progress but I won't give her the credit by any means. I attribute it to my families' hard work that got us there with nobody to lean on through it. Thank you for reading and I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I truly dislike sharing things like this but my suggestion is to Google sleep training or hire a sleep trainer that will actually be there for you, but this one is not it. P.S. I can also provide the evidence to back all of this up also. read more

My wife and I struggled for months to get our 2-year old to sleep in his crib, after having a great first year of sleep. He would panic if we left the room and wake up multiple times during the night for our attention. We were all exhausted by the morning. Within days of following Paulina's plan, we were all sleeping through the night without any wake-ups. In just 18 days, we were able to put him in his crib at 8pm and close the door. He would sleep until 7am without complaint. No need to sit in the room with him for an hour like before. Paulina's plan was straight-forward and limited the amount of crying. At no point were we letting him cry it out. The plan was reasonable, compassionate, and effective. Within days, we were in a far better place. We now have a routine that our soon loves and trusts. He loves bedtime. He goes to sleep on his own and stays asleep without needing our attention during the night. We recommend Paulina to all our friends with young children. read more

Our baby was ~7 months old when we had reached out to Paulina. We are working parents and dealing with 2-3 wakings each night and unpredictable sleep during the day was becoming harder to manage. We gained some confidence after the introductory call with Paulina. She was pretty thorough and quite patient in answering all of our questions/concerns. For the first few days during the training, we had reached out to Paulina multiple times during the day and she was extremely responsive and helpful. She brings in a lot of real-time experience and explains the "how" and "why" parts clearly. In ~ 2 weeks' time,  our baby's sleep pattern became predictable and she was able to sleep by herself throughout the night. Exactly what we were looking for. Overall, we are very satisfied with the sleep training process and highly recomment Paulina read more

Paulina is amazing and such a pleasure to work with! She helped us set up not only a good bedtime and sleep routine with our baby boy, but also coached us on his naps. After having my 2nd child and having my first child be such a good sleeper I was lost on what to do this time around. Paulina stepped in and helped guide us and answered all of our questions both via text email and on our phone calls. Her responsiveness and demeanor made it so easy for us to implement independent sleep skills for my son. We are overjoyed at his progress and he started sleeping 11-12 hours around 3.5 months old! I highly recommend you hire Paulina! read more

We were hesitant about sleep training, but Paulina made the whole thing a positive experience. No more sleepless nights for us! Only wish we'd found her sooner. read more

We could not be happier with our experience from start to finish. Paulina was incredibly thorough, patient, made a clear plan and was there helping us every step of the way. Our son had never slept through the night prior to working with Paulina and he's now sleeping full nights, no wake ups, goes to bed without a fuss and is on a regular predictable nap schedule. She worked with our parenting style to create a plan we were comfortable with and it's been a life changer for our son and our lives. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their little ones sleep! read more

Paulina was so helpful in getting our 13-month old son's sleep schedule back on track. We had a fallen into bad habits of snuggling him to sleep and then he would wake up in the middle of the night. Paulina put together a detailed plan that had him sleeping through the night with no wake-ups and minimal crying on the first night! As an added bonus, Paulina also helped us sort out his feeding schedule so he was eating more substantial solid meals at regular intervals which I think also improved his sleep. Paulina also encouraged us to make the switch from two naps to one given his age. We were able to do that while we sleep trained very easily and now it's nice to know we'll be on the one-nap schedule for a while. Thanks to Paulina, we're all back to getting the sleep we need as a family! read more

Paulina is amazing, my hubby and I can't thank her enough. Our 14month old son had been an amazing sleeper and napper from 2months old to about 12-13months old. He had reverted back to newborn stage sleeping out of nowhere; waking every 2hrs, early 3-4am wake ups and naps-bedtime being a screaming/crying 30-45mins battle every day/night. We thought teething, sleep regression, milestone Leo's etc; so we suffered for 2months before finally throwing in the towel and asking for help! Now Dean is sleeping 12hr solid nights with no night wakings and going down for naps and bedtime under 10mins. Paulina was very kind, patient and educational. She always explained the "why" behind every strategy with helped us understanding what we were doing. She was always a phone call, email or text away. She was flexible with our routine and worked with us on a few things we didn't want to completely change which we greatly appreciated. We were hesitant of hiring a sleep consultant but now, best investment ever since having our sweet son. Thank youuuuu :) read more

We really loved working with Paulina. She helped us to get sleep back in our lives and improve both my marriage and mental health.

I can't say enough good things about Paulina and her work. She is extremely kind and professional, but most of all, she helps parents teach babies how to sleep well! Our eight month old was waking up 8-16 times each night. Paulina got to know us, our preferences, and our baby, created a custom sleep training plan for our family, and helped us implement it. The thought of eleven hours of night sleep and predictable naps seemed too good to be true until Paulina helped my baby accomplish exactly that. We wish we had come to her sooner. We are extremely grateful for her help and would recommend her to anyone who is having trouble with baby sleep. read more

Paulina has given my husband, 8 month old son and me hands down one of the biggest gifts.. the gift of sleep and our nights back. We are forever grateful to Paulina for helping us in our parenting journey and helping our 8 month old to learn the skill of independently falling asleep .Leading up to our decision to go with Paulina, we were quite sleep deprived and up almost every 1-2 hours overnight nursing/feeding our son back to sleep. During the day, there were minimal naps. It took us time to start the sleep plan due to our son getting sick frequently during the winter months. Paulina was so understanding, patient, and flexible with us. We felt supported throughout the process thanks to Paulina's detailed and comprehensive sleep plan and phone call follow ups/check ins that allowed us to progress and move forward. She provided us reassurance and a clear strategies with any hiccups or changes in our busy schedules along the way. We are so appreciative to Paulina for giving us all the gift of sleep! read more

Best money I ever spent!!! A complete game changer for our family. Paulina is AMAZING! As a new mom, I hired her to help with my newborn and never could have guessed what would be possible just a few months later! At four weeks, my newborn and I were sleeping on a futon on the living room floor, and I was a wreck! A few weeks later, I was back in my bed and my little babe was happily sleeping in her bassinet and going to sleep without nursing. By 3 1/2 months, she started sleeping through the night. My husband, daughter, and I are all well-rested and happy - and enjoying our precious time together so much more! Paulina is extremely professional, responsive, and competent. I could tell she took notes during our weekly check-ins and would followup with me during other sessions about concerns I had mentioned. She was also sympathetic to my anxieties, and always met me where I was at with compassion and understanding. The newborn sleep package is amazing value, and I was so happy with the level of service we received. Paulina is an absolute joy to work with, and I would highly recommend her to friends and family. read more

Paulina is very nice, and forward. She really tried with our son. What I didn't like in particular is that the sleep solutions are advertised as being other than cry it out method, when in reality, they are the cry it out method in titration form, which initially our nanny wouldn't get on board, then I couldn't get on board with, then finally everyone on board but still didn't work out. And of course, there went the ridiculous amount of money down the drain. I would save your money and just do cry it out, if this is what you are considering. read more

My husband and I were suffering both mentally and physically from having to hold our baby girl for absolutely all sleep. Since out of the womb she could not be put down to sleep on her own and needed to be rocked, bounced and sushed to sleep for sometimes up to an hour before falling asleep. I had back pain, chest pain, depression and was sleep deprived. I was desperate for rest but also weary if sleep training would work for my daughter. When my daughter turned four months, I called Paulina in hopes she could help us. During our initial phone call she showed so much compassion for our situation and explained how she could help us with our daughters sleep. All throughout the process of sleep training Paulina basically held our hand through it and made the process easy for us. The sleep plan she wrote out for my daughter was so detailed and clear. She did all the hard work for us and all we had to do was follow through with the schedule she wrote for us. Her weekly phone call check-ins were so helpful and she always answered all my questions or concerns. It is now three weeks since were started sleep training and my daughter now sleeps in her crib independently for 12 hours at night and naps in her crib sometimes up to four hours. I no longer have to rock her to sleep because she has learned to put herself to sleep. I am amazed and thankful for what Paulina did for my family. Now i enjoy my time as a mother much more and get to have evenings with my husband. If you are considering hiring a sleep consultant do not think twice about using Paulina's services. It will be the heat decision you can make for yourself and your baby! read more

Paulina was a tremendous help to my family as we sought to sleep train our 17 month old son earlier this year. During an illness when our son was 10 months old, my partner and I (first-time parents) brought him into our bed to care for him at night, and this began a bad habit that we found impossible to break on our own. It was joined by other bad habits such as rocking him to sleep with a bottle, 2-3 hour bedtime routines, and the escalation of nighttime tantrums into episodes of vomiting. We basically gave in and would pacify our son by any means necessary to get him to go to sleep, and despite knowing how important it was for him to learn to sleep independently, we were unsuccessful in applying sleep training methods on our own (the vomiting was particularly hard for me to handle as a mom). With only a few more months to prepare our toddler for the arrival of his baby sister, we knew we desperately needed help. Paulina was immediately responsive when I reached out to her, and didn't judge or condemn our bad habits. Instead she responded with empathy and positivity. She got to know our family and our routine, and came up with a comprehensive sleep plan that was organized and easy to follow. She was extremely supportive as we began our new sleep program over the course of a weekend, recommended a few good products and how to use them, and took the time to check in with us by phone and text at intervals that felt totally appropriate. This was particularly useful for helping us "tweak" our son's new sleep routine. The first few nights were undoubtedly tough (we had a single vomiting episode and a lot of crying), but then we adjusted the routine with Paulina's advice and the following nights were a vast improvement. Within a week our son was sleeping independently in his crib, with minimal crying and night wakings. We were thrilled and soooo relieved!!! My partner and I had our evenings back and could spend time together as opposed to one of us disappearing for hours on end to put our son to bed. It was truly liberating! We were also incredibly proud of our son for learning how to self-soothe and put himself to sleep in such a short amount of time.  We absolutely credit Paulina with such a quick turnaround for our family. She knows what she is doing with her recommendations, and she also knows how to be a great coach for parents and children alike. It's been two months since we worked with her, and our son's sleep habits have only continued to improve. His nighttime sleeping is still consistent, and he now naps predictably and without fussing - my partner even said he asked for a nap today! Before we worked with Paulina I truly did not think any of this was possible. We will certainly ask for her help again if we find ourselves needing it, and wholeheartedly recommend her for sleep training challenges. read more

When I contacted Paulina, my reflux baby was 6 months old and still waking up every 2 hours to feed through the night. For the first three months he was sleeping only in my arms, then I was told it's a phase cause he was teething, then the pediatrician suggested starting early on solids would help. Nothing. At the peak of my desperation I got in touch with Paulina. I was skeptical at first. It's not his sleep, he has digestion problems, I thought. But I was so sleep deprived that my husband made me try it. After inquiring in detail about my baby's overall behavior, Paulina suggested that he's a snacker habitually (our pediatricians hadn't even considered this a possibility). She gave us a custom sleeping (and feeding!) plan and walked us through it all. By night 3 my baby slept 11 hours straight! I couldn't believe it! The best decision we've made as new parents. Paulina held our hand through it all. She was in touch with us daily, giving us recommendations with every reaction our baby would have. My son is almost 7 months old now with perfect 11/12 hour night sleeps and two scheduled naps a day. He feeds 4 times a day now (instead of 12). He is off of Pepcid (which he had been on since one month old) and he never ever cries anymore. He sleeps on his own and wakes up with a smile on his face. And I can finally look at myself in the mirror again. If your baby isn't sleeping through the night, you need her. She's very knowledgeable, supportive and super responsive (which you will absolutely need). Call her. You won't regret it. read more

Paulina has helped our family so much; and given me my sanity back! We've had her sleep train both our 3-year-old and later our 5-month-old, and it's the best money we've spent on our kids. I was spending 1 hour at naptime and 1.5 hours at bedtime each night helping my 3-year-old get to sleep (only to have her run to our bed two hours later) and I was so exhausted. I felt like I hadn't gotten a good night's sleep in years! That first week of sleep training our 3-year-old was hard for me, but Paulina was incredible as a support system and gave me everything I needed to get through it. By the second week we were set! It was so worth it that I promised myself I would get the about-to-arrive second kid on track much sooner. Sleep training the second kid at 5 months with Paulina was so helpful-- I was able to get a full night's sleep only a few days after starting with her! I feel so much better now that my baby sleeps in her crib on her own, and knowing that she is developing the self-soothing techniques we all need in life. I could not be more happy with the outcome for both our kids. read more
