Hey, I'm Aleni!

As a certified infant and toddler sleep specialist—and a mom myself—I know how overwhelming baby sleep struggles can be. That’s why I created Rooted in Sleep, a space where you’ll find compassionate, science-backed support without sleep-training methods. Together, we’ll uncover solutions that honor your instincts and nurture your child’s emotional well-being.

Let's nurture the roots in our babies

Sleep is a biological function. All generations before us have slept. No one taught them how. No one told them the secret to being a ‘good’ sleeper is letting their baby self-soothe. No one told them they had to push independence on babies at a young age, or their baby would always depend on them. Human evolution, human biology, is rooted in connection, contact, and closeness. This closeness, this bond, it’s ingrained in our DNA. Our primal instincts urge us to nurture, to connect, especially with our babies. Babies have always slept on or near their caregivers. It’s a natural thing, hardwired within us. Allowing a baby to self-soothe, to cry themselves to sleep, contradicts this natural urge for closeness. We are beings wired for connection, rooted in the embrace of loved ones. It’s time to trust those instincts again, to ignore the outside noise and listen to what feels right.

And that’s how Rooted in Sleep was born. My goal is to help families reconnect with their natural parenting instincts. In a society that sometimes makes us feel lost, pressuring us to promote independence in our babies prematurely and go against our parental instincts, I want to offer guidance on what’s biologically normal for infant sleep. I aim to give you confidence in the choices you make for your family. It truly takes a village to raise a baby, and I’m honored to be a part of yours. So, let’s nurture these roots in our children, ensuring they flourish in the generations to come.

"Working with Aleni has been an incredible experience. She is so hands-on and genuinely cares not only about Lincoln but also about me as a mom. I truly would be lost without her support through all of this! Before working with Aleni, I felt unsure about how to navigate Lincoln's sleep, but now I’ve developed amazing skills and have a much better understanding of his sleep needs. Bedtime was going so smoothly—getting him down easily with long stretches—until recently when we hit a little hiccup with his initial crib put-down. But knowing what I’ve learned, I feel confident we’ll get through it. Aleni has truly gone above and beyond for us, and we are so thankful for her support.”

"Working with Aleni was an excellent experience! She thoroughly and thoughtfully addressed every concern we raised, and her empathetic approach made us feel supported, never guilty for what we didn’t know. We’ve learned so much and have already seen improvements with her recommendations! Before working with her, we felt frustrated and lost, constantly questioning our approach. Now, we feel confident and knowledgeable—like we’ve chatted with a friend who just happens to be an expert in child sleep. We’d absolutely recommend Aleni to others—we already have!"
