Is this for me?

If you are passionate about leading families to better health through better sleep, and the thought of a thriving career without sacrificing family sounds exciting, then this is for you! Working as a sleep consultant, has allowed us (and our graduates), the freedom and flexibility to do what we love-raise our children and pour into our business.

Giving the gift of sleep and support is such important work and has a tremendous effect on families and individuals. Are you ready???


"I want to thank Rachel for developing and organizing this wonderful training! Special thanks to Lauren for her tremendous support on my way to becoming a certified pediatric sleep consultant! Thanks to Melinda for coaching me in a beautiful way while working with my weekly client, too! I feel both happy about getting my certification and sad because my time with you is over :(. I truly enjoyed completing the practicum hours and think this was the best part of the training! See you on mentorship calls and workshops!"



About the course:

Our pediatric sleep consultant program is evidence based and will provide you with the skills needed to handle unique situations and provide expert based guidance to families and organizations. Our approach is not a one-size-fits all, but rather a development based approach, ensuring that we meet each child where they are based on developmental norms and their unique characteristics.

Each week you will be guided through a new module and you will attend a live lecture, reviewing each module in depth to make sure you understand each concept in depth before moving on to the next.

The curriculum is designed to be completed in 10 weeks before moving on to your practicum hours.

Following your completion of the coursework you will be required to complete 50 clinical hours facilitated by us in order to give you hands-on experience working with families.

We are looking for passionate people who want a thriving career without having to sacrifice family time. One of the best decisions I made 12 years ago was to leave my 60 hour/week job to start this business, which allowed me the flexibility and time to be with my babies. This is a job you can do 100% from home, allowing you the freedom to create your own schedule and directly benefit from the work you put in. If that sounds exciting to you, keep reading!

The details:

+ Our next live training (online) starts January 30th, 2024 and is designed to continue for 10 weeks followed by your required practicum hours. You can enroll in the 100% self-paced version at any time. Click here to register for that option. The difference between our "live" version and our 100% online version, is the live training includes a weekly zoom lecture with group interaction and more one-on-one support with an individual mentorship program following graduation, where-as our online version is 100% at your own pace with recorded zoom calls.

+ Our intensive sleep consultant training program includes topics such as: sleep science/basics, newborn-toddler sleep teaching programs, setting up your business/basics of sleep coaching, foundations of sleep (including nutrition with IBCLC), sleep environment and safe sleep, and more! *Full outline can be sent upon request

+ Certification following graduation will read- "Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant"

What is the investment?

We have worked as hard as possible to make this as affordable as possible. As you evaluate this opportunity, please keep in mind that this includes extensive training and mentorship which will include a certification (as long as your follow-up/practicum hours are completed).

The total cost for the live training is $4,000 and $3100 for the self-paced version. The cost can be broken up into a payment plan, and upon acceptance, a deposit will be required to secure your spot.
