Although as a midwife I am an expert when it comes to babies and toddlers, I was also dependent on Meike's help with my third daughter (15 months). The little one only fell asleep in my arms, we either rocked her in the rocking chair or carried her around. When she was asleep, we were usually able to put her down in her bed, but she often woke up again after a short time and the game started all over again. With Meike's help, we can now put the little mouse in her bed awake, without screaming, and usually leave the nursery after 5 to 10 minutes so that she can then sleep. She doesn't sleep through the whole night yet, but usually between 5 and 6 hours. This gives us some time together as a family and as a couple in the evening. We can therefore only recommend sleep coaching. Many thanks dear Meike

We contacted Meike about 2 months ago because our daughter (6 months at the time) only fell asleep with a lot of screaming and long shocks on the Pezziball. All that effort for just half an hour's sleep. Meike immediately made an appointment with us. After just a few days, our daughter fell asleep in bed without the Pezziball. Just 1 month later we were able to leave the room and she almost always falls asleep on her own after a few minutes. Once a day she finally sleeps for longer than half an hour.
We are glad that we chose Meike and her sleep coaching. We would do it again and again and recommend it to anyone. Meike stayed in close contact with us and always had the right encouraging words and tips at the ready very quickly.
Many thanks for everything!

Our 5 1/2 month old son could only sleep on me, sucking continuously or in the carrier. When I put him down (if that was even possible) he was awake again within 30-60 minutes. This went on for weeks, at night and during the day. In desperation, I turned to Meike and today the situation looks completely different. Our son falls asleep in bed without sucking and only wakes up every 2 to 3 hours at night to breastfeed and then continues to sleep peacefully in bed. I can leave the room when he is asleep and no longer spend my days in bed. The sleeping situation is so much more restful and relaxed for both of us now and I finally feel like an independent person again and can enjoy my time with my son much more. I would never have thought that we could achieve such an improvement in just a few days, but Meike's tips were simply worth their weight in gold. I can recommend her wholeheartedly.

My dear Meike! The most important thing in advance: You are such a great heart mesch and I am infinitely grateful for your help 💕

So, now the back story:
My son (10 months) was a bad sleeper from the beginning. There were times good, but also unfortunately a lot of bad phases. After a lot of trial and error, it settled down that he was awake every hour in the evening. At least he took daytime naps in the stroller or in bed with me.
The evening arrangement looked so that he fell asleep around 20.00 o'clock either while breastfeeding on my arm and I could put him down with good luck after 30 min arm sleep in his own bed, or with less luck, I "had" to stay next to him in my (marriage) bed and he slept next to me. Falling asleep in your own bed was unthinkable. Whether his own bed or our bed, after the 1st sleep phase, which with luck lasted at most 2.5 hours, he was awake after every hour.
Since an evening life - let alone married life - was no longer possible besides lack of sleep, I got the contact details of Meike through my dear midwife. Meike made an appointment super fast and what can I say....
On the same evening he already fell asleep after 15 min in his OWN bed during the 2nd x implementation of the tips and after the 5th day he already slept 5 1/2 hours (!) AT A TIME!
I have always been in contact with Maike.
Now my son has turned 1 year old and sleeps every day, whether at noon or in the evening, in his own bed in his
Room, in the evening even between 6 and 8 hours at a time!!!
Thank you Meike, for your open, honest and funny way. You are an angel. Thanks to you, we are definitely more rested and balanced again!!!

We can only recommend Meike from the bottom of our hearts. Our daughter had real problems with sleeping from birth and now, thanks to Meike, she goes to bed alone without crying. We are so grateful to her. We and our daughter are much more relaxed. Meike is an angel with her way and hits the nail on the head. A heartfelt thank you.

Meike contacted us quickly after my inquiry and we quickly got an appointment. She looked at our concerns and our situation and quickly had good ideas for solutions that we would never have come up with without her help. She has a humorous and warm way of addressing and communicating things. The problem did not show up after just a few days. In the meantime, our 2-year-old daughter is sleeping through the night and also in her own room. Meike's help was definitely worth every penny. Especially me, the sleepless nights before were very stressful and it was a big relief to finally be able to sleep through the night again. Thank you Meike!

Unfortunately, my 2 boys (3 and 4 years old) did not manage to fall asleep and stay asleep on their own and the sleep assistance often took hours.
After several "sleep guides", "tips and tricks" from the Internet and the felt 1000 advice from my environment, without satisfactory success, I was after almost 4.5 years at the end of my strength and especially my nerves arrived and finally contacted Meike.
And what can I say, Meike was the best thing that could happen to me/us and I am annoyed that I have not written to her much earlier.

But well, better late than never!

After our first phone call it was clear to me, with Meike we will make it.
No idea, but my belly told me and so far I could always rely on him.....
My life partner was a bit skeptical about the whole thing, but still thought we should give it a try.
And what can I say, we have all achieved our goals/desires, the boys both fall asleep on their own in their rooms and through as well.
I can also have a cup of coffee, turn on the washing machine or take a shower in peace without the boys "sticking to my leg".
Through Meike's support, we have managed to get "quiet" into the "before bed" time.
Thanks to her motivating and strengthening words, we have managed to remain steadfast in the implementation of our will and goals.

MEIKE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND YOUR CLEAR YET LOVING AND EMPATHETIC WAY!!! <3

Our son (12 months) was breastfed until 10 months and then weaned himself. But this suddenly brought more and more bottles at night. At coach start we were at 3-5 bottles and a maximum of 3 hours sleep. Hunger could not be it, as he was a good eater who was already not the classic BEIkostkind at the time of weaning. My analyzed our situation professionally, showed us a program suitable to our life situations (beginning work of the mother, partial change of sleep locations (vacation) etc.).
What can I say, we still implemented it on the main coaching day and after a somewhat (and it was really bearable and not comparable to the horror bottle nights) exhausting first week he slept through in his bed. This was 4 months ago now.

Our child sleeps on average 2 hours at noon and in the evening from 19:30- 6:30/7:00 through or manages, when he wakes up at night, to completely self-regulate and find his own way back to sleep.

Thank you, Meike. You have given us (and especially our child) so much more quality of life.

It was nice that we could contact you permanently and that you were really available.

Our son was awake 5-7 times at night. He slept in the parents' bed and daytime sleep was only possible in the stroller. Meike was there exactly once and on that day our son already took a 1.5 hour nap in his own bed.
At night he came only once after a short time and since then he always sleeps in his own bed. Even on vacation we had no problems thanks to Meike's professional help. Through her empathetic and loving manner, one feels directly understood.
Absolute gamechanger this woman!!!
Dear Meike, thank you for your help, you mega cool sock.

Before the sleep coaching with Meike, our son (8M) only ever took power naps for a maximum of 30 minutes during the day. At night, at best, we never got over 2 hours. In addition, he could only fall asleep on his arm, singing, shocking and bouncing on the pezzi ball. At least that's what we thought, and we also walked him around the house at night for hours at a time. At one point, my husband and I were even sleeping in shifts and not in the same bed for a long time. Meike showed us how easy it can be and after about 2 weeks we were able to put our son down in his room, in his bed, awake and he fell asleep on his own!!! A dream come true for us before, thanks to Meike's advice and support. Everyone is sleeping much better and most importantly are more balanced. The daytime naps have also become better and longer and there is time again for household chores, laundry or just relaxing for a short while.
Even after the coaching was over or if there were setbacks again, Meike was there with advice and above all motivating words.

We too can only agree with the positive reviews. Our child has always had problems sleeping. After 2 years and several failed attempts to get the problem under control, we turned to Meike, desperate and exhausted. At that time our child was awake 2-5 times every night and only fell asleep again by carrying him around. After the first conversation with Meike, her understanding, professional and loving manner gave us hope that we would be able to get our problem under control. Even to us it still seems like a miracle how our child's sleep problem improved in a short time. The sleep coaching with Meike was a blessing for our whole family. Dear Meike.... We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for that.... You are truly an angel!!!!

I attended Meike's workshop "Even superheroes need to sleep". Our son (14 months) could only fall asleep with a bottle, in the stroller or in the car. At night he woke up two to five times and could also only fall asleep again with a bottle. During the day he often slept only 30 minutes and was then awake.
After we implemented Meike's tips, he slept directly the first night without a bottle and only woke up once. It's not much that we changed, but it had a big effect. Since then, he sleeps in his bed, no longer needs a bottle, and even spends his nap time of 1.5 to 2 hours in his bed. Since then he is much more balanced and cheerful, because he finally has a good night's sleep.
Thank you very much dear Meike, you have helped us a lot :-)

When we finally turned to Meike, we had already tried several months of internet tips, well-intentioned advice and much more. We were, after almost 4 months, in which our then 8.5 month old daughter was awake at times every 15 minutes at night and wanted something to drink, just so tired and helpless. To us, all the advice was worth trying as long as we didn't hear: let her cry it out, or eventually she'll be asleep when she's cried herself tired. I paid attention to sleep times, signs of tiredness, regularities, etc., we had a bedtime routine since birth. But we only ever changed individual components, which had never led to longer sleep intervals. I then read a lot about sleep coaching sometime after Christmas, but was somewhat reluctant to accept this help because of the price. But desperation eventually drives you to try it out and say to yourself, no matter what it costs, we'll try it now. And looking back, I have to say how stupid it was that all three of us struggled for 4.5 months. Somehow you think it's just a "phase" and it will pass. And it certainly does, the only question is whether you want to endure it and expose yourself and your child to this agonizing lack of sleep or whether you would rather accept help.
Meike was and is a blessing: already in our first conversation I thought: Mega, we'll get it together. And that's how it was: she came, changed several "set screws" and not just one like we always did. And lo and behold: already in the 2nd night our daughter slept several hours at a stretch. Meike was always there with advice and an open ear and to this day (our daughter is now 13 months) asks how things are going....
And what can I say: after a short time, our daughter got out of the habit of eating at night by simply sleeping through the night.
Currently she is switching from 2 naps to 1, getting 4 molars at once and sleeping in her own room is still to come- so it remains exciting, but we are very confident that we will also master these challenges and suddenly sleeping is fun for everyone!
Knowing Meike would help if necessary makes us feel very relaxed about the upcoming sleep challenges....

Meike, thank you thank you! And you wouldn't know it: she can still climb in the light as well as in the dark and now running comes along with it ! :)

I was honestly a bit skeptical at first...but thought it was worth a try and contacted Meike. I have never regretted this call! Within a very short time, everything really changed. My child would only fall asleep at the breast and would immediately start screaming loudly as soon as I put him to bed. We now have this energy-sapping time behind us. Even after the coaching, in uncertain moments, Meike was still there for us. Thank you so much Meike! Without your help we probably wouldn't have made it!

Thanks to Meike's help, our son falls asleep alone in his

Before we contacted Meike, our nights were very very exhausting. Our daughter woke up every hour and screamed until we got her out of bed and held her in our arms until she eventually fell asleep again, if she didn't prefer to do gymnastics. She wanted everything but to continue sleeping. Thanks to dear Meike, we have managed to get our daughter to fall asleep on her own in her bed and now she wakes up max. 1-2 times at night, but falls asleep again after a few moments - and without any screaming. Falling asleep is now a matter of a few minutes and no longer hours. She is also much more balanced during the day as a result. Of course, this requires discipline on the part of the parents, but you have a goal in mind. We can recommend sleep coaching to all parents who have problems with their baby's sleep. We are absolutely thrilled and happy.

When we contacted the lovely Meike, our nights were one big torture. Our two boys (twins 10 months old) woke up every hour and just wanted to be rocked. Meike managed to turn the right screws in us and also to solve emotional blockades. Of course, there were also setbacks, but we are already very satisfied with the current situation that one of the two already sleeps through the night and his brother usually only wants the bottle once a night.

We are very grateful to Meike for her work and can only recommend her to everyone.

As a midwife, I have already looked after a few families in which the children have displayed one or the other "strange" sleep pattern. And suddenly we as a family were in a situation where everything we had learned was useless, we didn't know how to help ourselves and the lack of sleep was literally taking our minds away. For a long time I thought about contacting Maike, because you also hear some negative things about sleep coaching. And yet I dared to take the step.
At that time our son was already 8 months old, from birth not a good sleeper, during the day he usually did not manage more than 20-30 minutes, at night if it went well sometimes 1 1/2- 2 hours.
In addition, when we contacted Maike, the little one was awake every 30 minutes. Fell asleep in the evening after 60-90 minutes of strong crying only with protest to the chest and was then awake again after 30 minutes and could usually only be calmed with the chest.
So it repeated itself the whole night...
Our coaching with Maike showed quick success, that falling asleep worked quickly without problems and also the sleep duration has extended to 4-5 hours.
The nightly breastfeeding reduced to 2x the night.
Of course, there were also exhausting nights during the coaching, but many things just need time and patience and with a lot of encouragement and many motivating phone calls with Maike, we have also mastered this time. We are very grateful to you.

Finding Meike via the internet was a real hit for us and has truly changed our family life.
About our story:
In October 2020 our second daughter was born and our world was perfect! In June 2021, however, I googled sleep coaching on the Internet in desperation because I was pretty much at the end. Because our youngest fell asleep exclusively at the breast or when she was carried to sleep. During the day she hardly slept longer than 30 minutes and was then awake again....
She came in the night about every 2 hours, wanted to be nursed every time and sometimes we had to carry her around for ages afterwards until she made it back to sleep. The "we"
was mostly limited to me, because she mostly only wanted mommy. She especially liked to sleep "on" me and then didn't want to be put down in her own bed. Since our older daughter with 2 1/2 years was also not a good sleeper and also a total mommy-child, the nights became a horror, because one of the two was always awake.
Already after the first phone call with Meike there were the first small successes: At least the little one didn't fall asleep at the breast anymore and I didn't carry her around the living room for hours to get her to sleep.
However, the big improvement did not come for a while and I was often very frustrated. The little mouse had a cold all the time and was having a hard time breathing, it felt like every night there was something different keeping her awake. It took several weeks (and I think Meike got a few gray hairs because of me ;-)) until she could make it clear to me with her tireless patience that it is ME who needs clarity and not only a defined goal. But also a safe and firm way to get there!
A short time later, the little one fell asleep all by herself in her own bed, didn't need any more milk and usually made it back to sleep herself when she woke up during the night. Sometimes she needed a few soothing words or a hand on her chest and then she was able to fall asleep again.
In the meantime, the two girls can sleep in the same room and no longer wake each other up. Through the sleep coaching for the little one, even the sleep of the big one has changed. She now also falls asleep on her own and very rarely needs us at night.
We thank Meike from the bottom of our hearts! She is a very warm-hearted, humorous, patient woman and she is mercilessly honest at the right moment ;-) She has definitely found her calling as a sleep coach!
