Hi, I'm Mariana Yancik
I'm so glad you found your way here!
I help exhausted parents find gentle, personalized sleep solutions for their babies and toddlers, so they can finally feel rested, confident, and connected again.
With over a decade of experience as a newborn care specialist and postpartum doula, I offer one-on-one support that’s rooted in empathy, not judgment.
But my real education began when I became a mom myself. I’ve lived through the sleepless nights, the second-guessing, the overwhelm, and I know what it’s like to feel unsure, even with experience. That’s why I guide families with calm, clarity, and compassion.
I live in sunny South Florida with my husband, our son Noah, and our pup. And yes, we believe in naps, beach walks, and asking for help when you need it most.

EXCELLENT Based on 22 reviews Posted on Felippe PiccoloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Marianna when our son was about 6 months old and chose her 3 month package because we were traveling quite a bit at the time. It was absolutely worth it. She gave us practical guidance, consistent support, and a plan that worked well for our family even with schedule changes. Our son is going to be one in may and continues to be a very good sleeper. Marianna was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with throughout the entire process.Posted on MariTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mariana was such a blessing for our family. She was warm, supportive, and made me feel understood during a really exhausting season. Her guidance helped baby sleep so much better, and it made a huge difference for our whole family. I’m grateful for her support and would absolutely recommend her to any mama needing help.Posted on Fernanda SeikeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Mariana was one of the best things we did for our family. We started with her when our baby was around 6 to 7 months old, and because we had a lot of travel planned, we decided on the 3 month package. It ended up being the best decision. That extended support gave us so much peace of mind. Mariana was warm, patient, and so understanding through every change in schedule and routine. And always available! She made everything feel manageable and never made me feel judged. Our little one is now about to turn one in May and is still sleeping very well. I’m incredibly grateful for her support and would recommend her to any family needing real, lasting help with sleep! Thanks Mariana!!Posted on Pamela CohenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t share enough good things about Mariana! We are currently wrapping up sleep training for my 4.5 month old and it was such a success. It was so much smoother of a process than I thought it would be, being a first time mom. Mariana was so easy to work with, understanding, so kind, and has GREAT communication skills, which is something so important for this process. She is super responsive and always has helpful answers to my questions! Most importantly, she was able to help me get my 4 month old baby sleeping 12 hours through the night and on a consistent daily schedule in under a week! So so happy!! HIGHLY recommend Mariana!!Posted on Amanda GarleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Saint. That is exactly what Mariana is. I was truly in the trenches — a solo mom working 65 hours a week with an almost one-year-old. Sleep was the one thing I desperately needed, and the one thing I absolutely wasn’t getting. I would come home from work after my son was already asleep, only for him to wake up about 30 minutes after I walked through the door. I’d then spend the next two hours trying to get him back down… just for him to wake again at 2 a.m. At that point, I was so exhausted that I would bring him into my bed simply because I had nothing left. I had zero time for myself. I needed sleep — and I wasn’t getting it. 🆘 Enter Mariana. This woman has a gift. She breaks everything down in a way that actually makes sense — the kind where you suddenly think, “Oh… duh. That makes total sense.” There is no one rigid way to do things with her. She gives you options, guidance, and flexibility, so you never feel pressured to do something that doesn’t align with you or that you won’t be successful with. Nothing ever felt forced. Honestly, if I could gift Mariana to every single one of my friends as a baby shower gift, I would. She would be number one on my must-have registry. Within two nights, my son was sleeping through the night. I never had to sit there and listen to him cry it out. The entire process felt seamless and painless — for both of us. We travel often and are constantly on the go, and the one thing I never have to worry about anymore is my son’s sleep. Thanks to Mariana, he sleeps — anywhere. She has truly saved both of our sanity. And most importantly, I can see my son thriving because he’s finally getting the rest he needs to grow and develop the way he should. Mariana didn’t just help us with sleep — she changed our lives.Posted on Vinicius Borges RodriguesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marian helped us sleep train our son at 6 months, and it made a huge difference for all of us. My wife and I followed the plan together, and even with breastfeeding in the mix, everything felt smooth and doable. Now he’s 9 months old and sleeps like a champ!! Thanks Mariana!!Posted on Renata GiorgetiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sorry Mariana for my late review, life with a baby gets busy! But I didn’t want to miss the chance to share our experience. We worked with Mariana a few months ago when our son was about 6 months old, and it was honestly one of the best decisions we’ve made as new parents. She guided us through a plan that felt realistic and respectful of our family, our routine, and the fact that I breastfeed. My husband and I followed the plan together, and within a few nights we saw such a difference. Now at 9 months old, he’s still an amazing sleeper with predictable naps, peaceful nights, and so much more calm in our home. Mariana was supportive, patient, and so reassuring during the whole process. We always felt like we had someone in our corner who truly cared. It changed everything for us!Posted on Lani BraunTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve known Mariana for years, she used to babysit my three kids when they were younger (now 5, 9, and 12). From the very beginning, she was someone I could completely trust. She’s reliable, respectful, and has such a calm, nurturing energy. My husband and I even went away for an entire weekend when our youngest was still little, and we left all three kids in her care! That’s how much confidence we had in her. She’s always been amazing with children, patient yet firm in all the right ways. Later on, when my youngest had a tough time transitioning to her big girl bed, Mariana helped us through it with so much ease and reassurance. I see a lot of moms in my practice, and I refer Mariana to everyone looking for trustworthy support. She’s the real deal: kind, dependable, and truly gifted at what she does.Posted on Erica RiveraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to Mariana by a friend, and I’m so glad I reached out. I worked with her for my 2 year old, and honestly, I wish I had found her years ago when my older kids were babies! Within just a few days, my son went from fighting bedtime and waking up several times a night to sleeping peacefully through the night, and we finally have calm evenings again! Mariana was very supportive and understanding the entire time. She made the process feel simple, doable, and completely personalized for our family. I can’t recommend her enough, she’s truly changed our livesPosted on Stewart YancikTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I might be a little biased because she’s my wife.. but honestly, she’s the best thing that ever happened to me and our little family. She taught me more about baby sleep than I ever thought I’d know, and because of her, our son (now 3) has been sleeping 7pm–7am since he was 5 months old. Those full nights of sleep changed everything for us, my wife’s recovery, my sanity, our marriage, and our ability to just enjoy parenthood. If you’re tired, overwhelmed, and feel like your child will never sleep, please contact her. You won’t regret it. She’s not only an incredible mom and partner, but truly a sleep magician. ❤️❤️❤️
