We had good friends and family refer us to Baby Sleep Concierge when our newborn had trouble sleeping through the night. We thought waking up 4-5 times a night and feeding her was normal and we were doomed to a life without rest. Joanna's detailed questionnaire and phone consultation helped put our mind's at ease and her guidance throughout comforted us in VERY uncomfortable situations when not under expert supervision (baby crying while falling asleep). My only criticism, as we paid for the support, was that some calls we scheduled were missed (we didn't receive a call or the call time was missed by enough to mention it) but the quality of her service makes up for this as she always took the time to answer all questions so the abovementioned isn't enough to affect my 5-Star review. For the prices she charges, we were very happy with the level of service! It's absolutely worth the cash and my 6-month old slept from 7:30pm to 6:30am this weekend! read more

We never really considered getting a sleep coach-- we thought we should be able to figure out how to get our child to sleep (should be natural, right?! ... wrong) Joanna has a clinical approach to sleep training which was important to me. She did a comprehensive assessment and discussed what we valued and what we needed to make this successful. For me-- I was uncomfortable with any amount of extended crying. She heard my concerns and she developed a sleep training plan to get our daughter sleeping independently in her crib for naps and overnight. Joanna hosts a daily call which is very helpful for asking questions and confirming we made the right call the night before. This was especially helpful for me because I doubted myself constantly. Our daughter now is an EXCELLENT sleeper. Hands down best money we ever spent. read more

Joanna worked wonders for our baby. He was up every 2 hours at night, and naps were inconsistent and short. We tried what seemed like everything, and finally decided to bring in some outside help. We called Joanna the first week of January. She came by, met baby and interviewed my wife and I to determine what plan would work best. In a couple days, she delivered a very thorough plan for improving baby's sleep. We saw improvement in the first week, and continued to see rapid improvement each week thereafter. Around 8 weeks later, he only wakes up once around 2:00 to feed, and sleeps in til 6-7 every morning. His naps are great, and he is much happier. We had a few setbacks that required her assistance after our program expired. We bought some more phone support which worked great, she is responsive and patient. We are very happy with the service we got from Joanna, and would recommend her to anyone who is having trouble with their baby sleeping. read more

Joanna is amazing! I got her name from a fellow mom friend and I am so thankful that I did. Within a couple of days my baby was on more of a routine than ever before, and sleeping longer stretches at night which was badly needed. Being able to check in every day for whatever length of package you choose was incredibly helpful because I knew that if I had a question (which I often did) I didn't have to seek out help. I knew I would be getting a check in text or call and that was very comforting to me. Joanna is WONDERFUL and I can't recommend her highly enough! read more

We knew to contact Joanna because of the new mom school. While our baby girl generally slept well, we had a number of goals to achieve including dropping a dream feed, having her sleep independently, and developing a more structured nap time schedule. We achieved all of that with Joanna in 3 weeks. She really personalized the support, took time and care to get to know our baby and her habits, and was incredibly responsive. I'd recommend Joanna and her services to anyone looking for any sleep help of any kind. Looking forward to calling her again to sleep train our future babies!!!! read more

After getting great results with our 3 year old (see previous review), we called Joanna to get help with our younger child's 18 month sleep regression. She came up with a great plan and our baby was back to good sleep shortly after we implemented her advice. Joanna's services have been so valuable to us that I will be buying her gift certificates for my new parent friends. read more

Joanna's expertise, calm guidance, and reassurance, were just the blend of ingredients we needed to feel comfortable sleep training our son. She customized a plan that TRANSFORMED our baby's sleep habits when my husband and I had been pushed to the limits by around the clock wake-ups. Joanna's recommendations worked immediately and have continued to work several weeks after implementation of our plan. She has been very consistent and reliable in tracking our baby's sleep records and doing progress checks. We know that we can always count on Joanna to be a continual resource. She even hosts complimentary live Facebook chats in which she answers participant questions on any sleep concern. read more

Joanna at Baby Sleep Concierge is amazing! Our newborn was having trouble sleeping independently (she would really only sleep if we were holding her or wearing her in the carrier), and I did a mini consult with Joanna over the phone and it was so helpful. She asked a bunch of questions to really get a good understanding of the situation and our baby's personality, and recommended a few tricks that ultimately ended up working to help get our baby to sleep independently. I walked away from our call feeling confident that I could implement her suggestions immediately. We didn't need to really follow-up after the call, but it was reassuring to know we could reach out again if needed. I spoke with Joanna on a Friday and by the end of the weekend our baby was giving us good stretches of sleep without being held. I would definitely recommend Joanna to any family that is having sleep issues with their baby or toddler. Good (safe) sleep is so important for the growth and development of our babies... and not to mention important for parents to get some rest as well! Thank you, Jo!! read more

We had great experience working with Joanna from Baby sleep concierge to help our spunky 16 month old daughter get some much needed sleep. She did a very thorough behavior review and then came up with a plan that allowed us to transition our daughter to going to sleep on her own without nursing to sleep. I had tried similar methods at an earlier age, and at that time I don't believe my daughter was ready. With Joanna's guidance and assurance, I felt confident my daughter was ready for a new bedtime routine, and she is now going to bed with minimal, if any crying. We were also able to establish much a much healthier nap routine which has helped my daughter to be less fussy, and has allowed me two much needed breaks during the day. I would definitely recommend her. read more

I can not say enough good things about Joanna Martindale and All Things Behavior. Many years ago I worked with Joanna in a special education classroom and I was immediately impressed with her innate skills and abilities as a behaviorist. She was firm yet caring and kind, and the students she worked with made such great progress. After working with Joanna, the kids went from not being able to sit in a classroom and complete a simple task without an outburst, to learning how to calmly come in, get to their seats and start their day. Here I am now years later and I have found myself retaining Joanna's services for my own family. Though my son is developing typically, he has struggled with sleep issues since he was born. At almost 2 years old my son has never slept more than 3 hours straight and now he is up every hour or hour and a half. Needless to say, I'm more than a little tired!! After reading what feels like every book on baby sleep as well as every website and mom forum, I was pretty much resigned to the idea that my son just wasn't going to sleep through the night, at least not anytime soon. All of that changed when I discovered All Things Behavior. I found out that Joanna had added baby/ child sleep consultation and training to her list of services and jumped at the chance to have her help me. As soon as I reached out to Joanna, she sent me the Toddler Sleep Questionnaire and Intake Form, which in and of itself set her services apart from other things I had read. Her questions were all encompassing and very well rounded, and they made me take into consideration things that I had never thought about as affecting my son's sleep. I sent the completed form back to Joanna and within in a couple days I had a very detailed step by step sleep plan to put into action. As with the questions on the intake form, the sleep plan itself was all encompassing too. It included scientific and biological information regarding sleep and toddlers, as well as common knowledge and practical information. The great thing about Joanna is that she presents information in a way that is easy to follow and just makes sense. Nothing in her sleep plan seemed too daunting which my husband and I really appreciated as we have been terrified of sleep training! While reading the plan I could tell that Joanna really took my family and me and our particular situation into account; the plan was absolutely specific to us and not a template that she just added our names too. I also really appreciated that she gave me some side notes about how to prep my son for big changes (moving and me going back to work) I had mentioned in passing. While we have had the plan in our possession for a few days now we have had to push the sleep training start date back a few days for various reasons. I have however started putting some of the steps into practice and not only do I feel more confident doing them, my son has been way more receptive than I thought he would be. I can not wait until we can officially begin because I know we have a great plan to follow. I know I will happily be posting an update to this review saying my son, he who never sleeps, finally got a full 12 hours!! read more

Joanna helped us with several issues we were having with sleep as my daughter turned 3 months. Our daughter is sleeping much better now and we are also more confident that we are instilling good sleep habits early on. We will definitely contact Joanna again for help with any other sleep issues we may have. read more

Joanna did a wonderful job! I am a 1st time Mom who was so disappointed with a another sleep consultant who was way too rigid. I wish I had talked to Joanna first. She takes into consideration your baby's temperament, parents comfort level which I think is super important. She created an individual program. She is easy to talk to & I think it's a added bonus she has a counseling license. She also teaches at New Mom School in Newport Beach. She is simply the best! I am so grateful. My baby is happier with his day naps & nighttime sleeping. read more

My family reached out to Joanna after our daughter began waking up for multiple hours in the middle of the night. Joanna helped us formulate an action plan to help get her back on track. My husband and I learned helpful tips on how to gently help our 11 month old daughter go to bed without a bottle, which has been really great. I appreciate how personal the experience was and recommend the home visit option. read more

Joanna was the breath of fresh air we needed after a sleep regression. Talking with her put our minds at ease and she developed an easy plan to follow that really made sense. Being a new mom, I was extremely stressed and desperate for more sleep and Joanna helped us get there! We will be working with her again when we are ready to sleep train! read more

Joanna was such a wonderful help to our family recently. Our 3 year old stopped sleeping through the night after being a wonderful sleeper since infancy. She helped us to put new things in place and identify the real issue. She was so very kind and understanding through the process, I felt comfortable talking with her from the beginning. So glad we got her help, sleep issues with the kids can really flip your world upside down and happy to say we are on the other side of that now. read more

My husband and I are so thankful for Joanna. As first time parents, we wanted to make sure we were setting up our son for sleep success! There is so much information out there, we found it very overwhelming to try and pick a method we thought would work best for us. That is when we decided to call Joanna. Our first conversation went well and I knew we had made the right decision. We discussed our needs and a plan was perfectly put together for us. Joanna was very quick to respond and gave us the support we needed to be successful. I highly recommend her program and am thankful we have a happy baby who is sleeping better than ever! read more

With the great help from Joanna, my son finally is able to sleep through the whole night though he is still not good at have a afternoon nap as much as I expected, but I am still very satisfied with this consultation experience.

Working with Joanna has led to wonderful nights of sleep for both our son and us! Our initial phone consultation was very thorough and she created a sleep plan that matched the gentle approach to sleep training we wanted. Her calm demeanor and attentive care made us feel very comfortable asking her any questions along the way. She is an expert and always knew why our son was behaving a certain way, and always had a solution for us to adjust and find a resolution. We will continue to use her services as our son grows and his sleep patterns change--as first time parents we appreciate her guidance! read more

Joanna has been such an incredible help with sleep training our daughter. We have dealt with feeding/weight gain issues and she adjusted our program repeatedly to continue to support our pediatrician's feeding recommendations. The support was invaluable. There is so much stress with a new baby and having a professional assist with getting the whole family their much needed sleep was an amazing help. read more

We reached out to Joanna after our son hit his 4 month sleep regression and my husband and I couldn't go on without sleep for much longer. With her support and guidance, we were able to sleep train him in 2 weeks and went from him waking almost every hour in our room to sleeping in his own crib from 6pm-6am with 1 feeding in the middle of the night. She was great in promptly answering all of our questions throughout the process and kept us assured that we were doing the right thing for our son and for ourselves. He just turned 5 months and we are now all well rested and able to enjoy our days and nights together (sleeping!) and definitely recommend her services to any sleep deprived parents that need help! read more

Working with Joanna was great! She is so sweet and helpful. She was very reassuring with any questions/concerns I had, and was my support person and voice of reason throughout the whole process. She is super knowledgeable and will help find a sleep training plan specifically for your baby that aligns with your family's goals. If you've been thinking about sleep training, don't want any longer and give Joanna a call! It was so worth it! read more

We reached out to Joanna to transition our 3 month old away from naps while held and sleeping at night in a Rock N Play. The Hold My Hand package was the perfect amount of assistance, and having Joanna come to our house to meet with us and assess the nursery was great! Although our baby seemed too young for a rigid schedule, Joanna helped us to understand the importance of routine and creating consistency in nighttime wind down. We feel we reached out at just the right time and managed to bypass the dreaded 4 month sleep regression with Joanna's help. Our daughter is now 5 months old and sleeping in her nursery in her crib for 12 hours a night. While we still have good days and bad with naps, Joanna has given us the tools to continue to work on this and we feel confident that we're making progress. Overall we're very happy with Joanna and would recommend her service to tired babies (and parents!) read more

I can't say enough good things about Joanna and All Things Behavior! She meets with you for an initial consult to create a custom sleep plan that will work for you. She understands that it is not a one size fits for all and finds out what you are comfortable with to create your specific plan. It is so tough knowing how to get your baby to sleep and nap properly. With her expertise and knowledge, she helped me understand about the baby sleep cycles and how important it is to "teach" your baby to connect the cycles. She was always available for whatever questions I had, big or small. Our baby has slept from 7-7 since three months thanks to Joanna! I honestly feel like I can be a better Mom having out little one on a schedule. This was worth every penny! You can't put a price on sleep! Especially after those first few months with lack of sleep. I have even gone back to her to address some behavior concerns with our little one as she grows into a toddler. I can't say enough out Joanna! read more

Joanna Martindale helped me get my toddler to nap! When my daughter was 17 months, I had my son. With all the change, my daughter went down to one 45 minute nap per day and would not go down for her nap easily. No matter what I tried, she would not sleep longer and she was really grumpy all the time. She was a consistent 11.5 hour night sleeper, but hated napping. Joanna made a sleep plan for me to follow that she tailored to my situation of having a newborn. After following Joanna's sleep plan, my daughter started taking 2 hour naps! She just turned 2 and is still taking 2 hour naps. She goes down really easily and even if she wakes up in the middle of her nap, she can easily put herself back to sleep. Joanna gave me some suggestions that I would never have thought of on my own and did not see the million times I googled "how to get a toddler to nap longer". Joanna is very responsive which is so important to me. If I had any questions, she would answer them very quickly. I am so grateful for her help! read more
