Janelle's Story
Why she became a sleep consultant
I love sleep more than I love chocolate — and yes, I know that’s a bold claim. Offer me a night of uninterrupted sleep or a year’s supply of chocolate, and I’m choosing sleep every time.
Over the years, I’ve seen exactly how powerful good sleep is. In both my professional and personal life, I’ve watched sleep deprivation impact learning, behavior, physical development, and emotional well‑being. It’s one of the reasons I’m so passionate about helping families get the rest they need.
My own family has hopped across hemispheres more than once, so I understand how disruptive big moves can be. And when my daughter was an infant, she faced serious ENT issues and severe sleep apnea that led to an ICU stay, an experience that shaped the empathy and urgency I bring to my work.
"I’m all about clear, practical guidance that actually works. "
Every sleep plan I create is built with simplicity and real‑life parenting in mind. My dream is simple: for every family to have the chance to experience truly restorative sleep. Imagine how life‑changing that would be.
How we work with families
Evidence-based, not trend-based
Plans are backed by science and support is adapted to your child. Every recommendation is rooted in peer-reviewed pediatric sleep research.
Flexible, family-centered methods
There's no single approach for sleep. Our consultants work with your parenting values and comfort level, so the plan feels just right.
Education over prescription
We help you understand the plan, not just follow it. You get the "why" behind each step, so you can respond with confidence.
