Welcome to IQ Baby
Two things are clear:
Sleep is vital for early brain development, learning, and memory.
Sleep disturbances and sleep deprivation in children can cause an array of problems
with their behavior and emotions, as well as both physical and mental development.
And...
Attachment is vital for early brain development.
Studies show lack of good sleep, at any age, as well as leaving an infant to cry
for extended periods of time raise cortisol levels leading to possible unwanted affects.
This leaves many parents conflicted between attachment and good sleep habits.
The great news is you don’t have to sacrifice one to achieve the other!
It’s also significant to note that one is just as vital as the other and therefore
both are worth striving towards.
Teaching good sleep habits gives your child the best possible start in life!

About me
My name is Elissa Gilbertson and from the time I was very young I have been drawn to
children and infants. I love interacting with them and learning how they develop and
the way they think.
I am a DONA Postpartum Certified Doula and hold degrees in Psychology and Child Development.
For over 15 years I have worked with families and children in a variety of areas including
sleep learning, behavior and parent/child communication.
Using my background in Child Development and Psychology, as well as my years as a PCD(DONA)
I work to balance attachment and attachment parenting with a baby’s biological need for sleep.
My goal is to help parents maximize parental enjoyment by minimizing stress and
miscommunications. I help parents understand their child on his own level while creating
a peaceful environment in which to maximize physical, mental and emotional growth.

A truly original approach to infant sleep.
~former skeptical father
Elissa took care of my educational and emotional needs which made it possible for me
to take care of my daughter’s needs. Thanks, just does not seem like enough.
~S.J.P
Having a very premature baby, who would not sleep and cried all the time, left me at
my wits end. I was hesitant to consult with a sleep professional because I thought they
would all tell me to cry it out – an approach I was against. I was overjoyed at the
approach Elissa took. She had me focus on understanding and meeting MY BABY’S NEEDS rather
than training her to meet MY SLEEP NEEDS. Meeting my baby’s needs gave me three priceless
gifts; a happy baby who sleeps more and cries much less, confidence in myself as a parent,
and sleep!
~Katelyn
Elissa guided us to make changes to our sons' sleep that improved multiple aspects of our
lives ten-fold. Her knowledge, sensitivity, and support were key. Her ability to rapidly
assess and understand his unique needs and to present useful strategies was remarkable. As
a result of her interventions, my son is now an excellent sleeper and a very happy baby.
As a mother, I could not be happier. Our family relationships have vastly improved, my
work performance and of course our mood and energy have returned. I could not recommend
Elissa more. Her services were worth every penny and I would've paid triple that amount for
the results.
~Christy
I was blown away by Elissa’s ability to identify seemingly small factors that blocked my
child’s ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. One session with her and two check-ups and
there was nothing more for her to do! Problem fixed! Had I known it was that easy I would
have called her much sooner.
~Jen
Thank you so much for all of your support. My daughter went from waking up every 2 hours
to waking up just once the entire night. It was an emotional roller coaster for me, but
thanks to your constant support I was able to make it through this. I feel blessed that
our paths have crossed; I wish I would have contacted you sooner! Thanks again for always
being so positive and caring. We couldn’t have made it without you!
~Carolina
With 5 month old twins and a 3 year old boy I was getting no sleep until IQ BABY came into
our life. Not only was I able to wean the twins from their night feed without problems,
and get them to sleep through the night, but I was also able to use some of the techniques
on my 3 year old. I was not having problems with him, but now he sleeps better at night,
and his naps are 10X’s better! I am now a happy, well rested mother of 3 boys and full of
energy in the morning!
~Jennifer
Thank you so much! You got my baby sleeping through the night! I can’t believe that in
less than 2 weeks my baby went from sleeping on me and waking up every 2 hours, to
sleeping in his crib through the night. Thanks to you my baby and I are off to a good
start each day by getting a good night’s sleep.
~Julia
You came in and accomplished in one night what someone else could not accomplish in
weeks! We are so happy with the support you provide and the good nights of sleep you
made possible. I’m so happy that we now have a routine and I can schedule our day without
fear of nap disasters! You have no idea the amount of stress you took out of our family’s
life. THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES OVER!
