My name is Ghida, I am a mom, a wife, and an educator for children with special needs. I started my career as a math teacher for young children, focusing on teaching students with special needs. I advanced my career and joined an early intervention program at a center specialized in special education for students with autism as well as other developmental challenges. I worked closely with my students and their parents to achieve clear developmental goals.  

Following several years of a successful career at the center, I moved on to start my own business focusing on training and supporting parents as well as teachers of children with special needs. 

Throughout my career, my experience was focused on the development and progress of the children and on the support of their parents.

My background

When my daughter Robyn was born back in January 2020, I started to observe her sleeping pattern. She was suffering from acid reflux and her sleep  was always interrupted. Through trial  and  error, online forums and a lot of moms recommendations with different sleep methods, I finally derived a way to help my daughter have a better sleep.

When my daughter Robyn was born back in January 2020, I started to observe her sleeping pattern. She was suffering from acid reflux and her sleep  was always interrupted. Through trial  and  error, online forums and a lot of moms recommendations with different sleep methods, I finally derived a way to help my daughter have a better sleep. After realizing how hard it is for parents to put their babies to sleep and the struggle they go through when sleep deprived, I decided to get certified by The  Sleep Lady as a Gentle Sleep Coach.
