Jolan's Story
Why she became a sleep consultant
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor in B.C, Canada and registered with the BCACC.
For over 20 years I have supported families and children with developmental, behavioural and mental health needs, as well as working specifically with little ones with sensory processing challenges and Autism.
This work has provided me with immense experience in child development, family systems and developing healthy family routines. One of the common themes I noticed when supporting families in their home, was the importance of a healthy sleep routine and ensuring the family was well rested.
After completing My Masters in Clinical counselling and becoming a Registered Clinical Counsellor through the BCACC, I felt I could add on to this support by being able to provide families with tailored sleep plans and solutions that can help them to become educated sleep experts themselves and recognize the importance of sleep for their family. I know how critical sleep is to ensure a healthy body and brain, especially when supporting little ones and families with developmental, behavioural and mental health struggles. I was certified as a Sleep Consultant through the Family Sleep Institute and trained as a Good Night Sleep Educator.
"Becoming a sleep consultant combined my passion of working with families and littles ones with my love of sharing the importance of sleep."
When not helping families sleep better, I love to spend time with my family exploring all the beautiful parks and beaches in BC.
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.
