My story
The Sleep Journey is Different for every child…
As a teenager my oldest daughter was diagnosed with anxiety, OCD and pediatric sleep apnea. I had no idea how much all of these things were affecting her sleep. The knowledge I have gained from specialists in various fields and my training in the sleep sense program has helped my girl immeasurably and she is finally getting the healthy restorative sleep she needs. I learned to never give up and to think outside the box while helping her along her journey.
My son was a great sleeper until he learned to climb out of his crib at age 2! One night I put him in bed and then 10 minutes later he was back in the living room and I knew we had a problem. We tried everything to get him to stay in bed. Eventually we pulled through but if I had known then what I know now that experience would have been much smoother and short lived.
My second daughter was a whole new ball game. We struggled with sleep from day 1 with her. Up and down all
night long, feeding, not feeding, crying, rocking, bouncing and walking. When she eventually out grew her crib and had to go in a toddler bed it was game over. I felt discouraged, beyond exhausted and I couldn’t believe this was happening with my 3rd child! We talked to the pediatrician, considered a sleep study, rewards, punishments, bribes, begging, you name it but we didn’t sleep well for years. She is now 11 and sleeping well but the years it took us to get there were hard! I don’t wish that on anyone and working with families as a sleep consultant now allows me to help them avoid this.
My little one was our special delivery years after our other three. She slept great for the first 3 months and then food intolerances and RSV and pneumonia turned us upside down. I found Dana Obleman’s sleep sense program online and it opened my eyes to all the things I had been missing! She is now my best sleeper and has been since she was 6 months old.
Being a parent is about love, sacrifice, knowledge and experience..
I want to share my knowledge and experience with your family so that you can all get the rest you need. Sleep helps everything. Problems can be solved, relationships enjoyed and days cherished when family members are well rested. I can’t wait to help your family feel rested and achieve your sleep goals.
