Build your child's profile
Share as much or as little as you like, and change it anytime.
- Their name, age and favorite things, from dinosaurs to fairies
- Pets, family members and best friends to join the adventure
- Anything on their mind, like a new school or a new baby, so the story can gently reassure
- Topics to avoid, and whether your child enjoys whispered passages

We write tonight's story
Every story is brand new, written just for your child and crafted with the Sova Method™, our storytelling method: simple relaxation techniques from hypnotherapy, biofeedback, NLP, guided meditation and ASMR, layered into the story to invite calm.
- Your child is the hero, with their people, pets and passions
- Gentle pacing, soothing repetition and a soft, slow ending
- Always gentle and age-appropriate, following our story-safety rules

It arrives at bedtime

- By text message, with a link to read on your phone
- As a printable page, made to hole-punch and collect in a binder
At bedtime
Reading a Sova story
Dim the lights, get cozy, and read slowly. Short shaded notes show you exactly what to do, so you never have to guess. There's nothing for your child to do but listen.
- Speed
Slow down and let the words stretch out.
- Rhythm
Give your voice a steady, rocking beat, like a favorite rhyming book.
- Dream Words
Linger on the sleepiest phrases.
- Countdown
Count slower and quieter as the numbers go down. A number out of order is fine.
- Touch
If your child enjoys it, let your fingertips drift lightly over their hair and shoulders, like soft rain. Always optional.
- Volume
Lower your voice, sometimes to a whisper, where the story asks.
Sova Stories is a calming bedtime ritual, not therapy or medical or sleep treatment. Every child and every night is different, and that's okay.
