About Me

Hello, I’m Michelle. Thank you for visiting my website! I can relate to being a sleep deprived parent. For me, it was so hard and so difficult being unable to function normally. Sleep deprivation had a major effect on my mood, my levels of concentration, and my relationships with my new baby and family. I recall always being exhausted taking care of my son. When I was about to have a baby people told me “you’ll never sleep again” and the prospect of living that way indefinitely felt so overwhelming.

I am here to assure you, it does not have to be this way! You do not have to accept the idea that you will always feel tired and no longer have time to yourself. I am here to help. As a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, I have trained with renowned sleep expert Dana Obleman who has helped over one hundred thousand families get the sleep they deserve using her thoughtfully designed Sleep Sense™ Method. I also have been working with children as a Pediatric Physical Therapist since 2006. This gives me a unique perspective and knowledge of child development.

I am here to support you every step of the way as you implement positive changes in your child’s sleep habits. My methods are gentle and effective and because I am working with you one on one, they are individually tailored to your needs and goals.

Imagine a life where your child is sleeping through the night and taking long restful naps during the day. Imagine an evening where you put your child to bed at 7:30 pm without a fuss and then have the evening to yourself. I would love to have the opportunity to work with you and provide the guidance and confidence you need to help your child sleep better. I believe you and your child deserve many Resftful Nightzzz.

Testimonials

Michelle was wonderful to work with and made the process very easy. She took the time to listen to our concerns and gave us great practical advice that allowed us to be more consistent with good sleep habits. She checked in frequently during the process to help handle any bumps along the way. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is having a hard time sleep training on their own.

Michelle helped us so much! We survived the infant phase but ran into sleep issues when our 2 year old started climbing out of his crib, eek! She patiently listened to our son's sleep history, our previous failed strategies, and our current napping/bedtime issues. She came up with an east-to-follow plan that fit our parenting style and our son's personality perfectly. She was very responsive when we had follow-up questions or progress updates, and we now have the confidence to deal with future hurdles such as a likely regression when we start potty training, ha! We highly recommend Michelle for her immense knowledge, intuitiveness, compassion, and patience.  We are so thankful for her :).

Michelle was amazing. We went from being interrupted multiple times each night to now over a month of uninterrupted sleep. We are better parents now that we are all well rested and our 4 year old daughter is really proud of herself for becoming more independent. Truly, this has been life-changing.

Michelle worked hard at getting our son sleeping through the night. Before we took control of the situation, our son was waking multiple times throughout the night and needing us to help him get back to sleep. We were so exhausted. I never knew that learning to fall back asleep, just like many other skills in life, is something that you can teach a child. I noticed immediately how much a full nights sleep can make a difference for our whole family.   

We can also travel and stay overnight at our families homes and not have to worry about him waking everyone up! It also makes it easier if we have a babysitter and they can easily follow our bedtime routine and put our son to bed without a fuss. It’s so much less stress in our lives to know that our son sleeps well at night and during naps and gets the sleep he needs for his busy day. Walking into our son’s room in the morning and seeing his smiley face is all worth it!

As first time parents we had no idea what to expect or where to start when it came to newborn sleep. Michelle was very knowledgeable and very easy to work with. She provided a lot of tips and data in our first consultation and was always available for impromptu questions as issues arose. I would recommend Michelle to any parent seeking help to get their child sleeping better
