Hi! I’m Susanne, your parenting ally.

I offer simple meditations, games, stories, and parenting strategies that bring your kiddos from active and awake to soothed and sleepy. Everything here stems from years of experience supporting children and families to make bedtime calmer, easier, and full of shared moments.

  • “The meditation that Susanne created for my son is amazing. He absolutely loves it and he cannot wait to hear it at bedtime. As a very active, constantly in motion 5 (nearly 6) year old it is lovely to watch his body relax as the meditation goes on."

  • "My daughter age 4  had struggled with falling asleep--especially calming down and allowing herself to feel tired--practically from the moment she was born. It felt like my husband and I had tried everything several times over without finding anything that helped her. We wanted a non-pharmaceutical way to help her fall asleep, and one particularly challenging night, I installed a meditation app to have her try. I went through a few kids meditations before finding Susanne's. My daughter immediately loved it, and calmed down herself. When the 6-minute meditation started, she was bouncing off the walls awake. After one play, she was lying still and calm, and she asked to listen again. After the second play, she was asleep. Nothing has ever worked like that before, especially in under 15 minutes."

  • Fantastic. Helped my stubornly energetic and FOMO-filled 7 year old finally slow his body and mind and fall asleep. THANK YOU!
