Hi, I’m Mandy!

Scroll to the bottom for my take on sleep coaching/training!

I am a certified pediatric sleep consultant who has a passion for helping other families get the sleep we all deserve.

I am a mom to my daughter, Becca (2.5) and I am married to my husband, Dalton. I was a special education teacher and left to be a stay-at-home mom in 2020. We live on San Juan Island in Washington State and we plan on continuing raising our family here.

MY STORY

When Becca was born I obsessed over her sleep and was trying my best to help Dalton and I get some sleep too. I was afraid I would never sleep more than two hour stretches. I was afraid Becca would be affected by her lack of sleep developmentally. I had all of these anxious thoughts because I had no clue where to start! I was the mom who was up all night wondering if the hatch light was the wrong color and if that was why my baby wasn’t sleeping or if my baby did not like the swaddle color she was in and that was why she wasn’t sleeping (ha. kinda joking). When in reality, she was just overtired and I had no clue how to even start addressing that on my own! I read books and read unhelpful tips on the internet. I thought I tried everything.

All of that had me turn to a sleep consultant and that was the best decision I made….and maybe thats how you ended up here as well! If you are battling sleep you DON’T have to battle anymore. Parents deserve to enjoy so many things about having a baby and sleep (or lack of) does not have to get in the way. I appreciate you taking the time to get to know me and I look forward to possibly working with you in the future!

My Take on Sleep Coaching

The Nitty Gritty

  • I cannot promise 100% no crying but we will do our best to eliminate as much crying as possible (no cry-it-out method here folks)

  • WE have to communicate and come up with a plan you are comfortable with. However, being pushed slightly out of your comfort zone might make this process more smooth or allow it to move more quickly. Your dedication will play a large part but please know I will never suggest you do anything I would not do with my own kiddo.

  • I will treat your kiddo like the individual they are and come up with a tailored plan to fit their distinctive needs.

  • I will follow the 80/20 rule. 80% of the time we stick to the script, 20% we let you live your life
