Frequently Asked Questions

A sleep consultant is someone who has completed a certification course to learn about the science of sleep, safe sleep, and sleep training techniques to communicate and coach families in helping their child(ren) establish independent sleep habits. 

Katelyn is a mom of two, and knows how confusing it can be trying to figure how to get your baby or toddler sleeping better. No two children are exactly alike, and neither are their sleep needs. When you work with Katelyn, you are not just purchasing a generic "guide" for a certain age- you are getting a step-by-step plan customized for your child, and if you book a plan with support, she will be with you every step of the way. Your goals become her goals, and she will celebrate with you when you achieve your sleep goals-helping exhausted families is truly her passion!

A Discovery Call is a FREE 15-minute call (phone or Zoom) to "meet" Katelyn, tell her about your current sleep, and learn more about what it looks like to work with Katelyn. If you are looking for sleep advice, it may be better to book an Ask Me Anything call, which you can find on Our Services.

Katelyn currently works with children from 12 weeks to 5 years. She works with families that currently have or desire to have their children sleep in their own sleep space (bassinet, crib, or bed) as she firmly believes in and practices safe sleep.

The truth is that no one sleeps through the night-we all wake up briefly throughout the night at the end of sleep cycles. The difference is that independent sleepers can fall back asleep and transition to the next sleep cycle on their own. If your child is currently waking up throughout the night and needs your assistance to help fall back asleep, Katelyn can create a plan that is tailored to your child to help him/her develop independent sleep skills in a way that feels comfortable for your family and parenting style.

Teaching independent sleep skills does not mean that you will ignore any other biological needs like the need to feed overnight. A baby can still sleep independently and wake to feed overnight. If this is the case for your baby, Katelyn will develop a sleep plan that will allow your baby to feed overnight and learn to fall back asleep independently.

We offer options with different levels of support from Katelyn, ranging from advice on how to handle sleep struggles to a plan tailored to your child's needs complete with two weeks of text/call support.  Please see the  "Our Services" page on the website for more information.

Katelyn's goal is to set you up for success prior to the end of the 2-week consultation period. She wants you to feel empowered to handle any other sleep struggles that your child may experience in the future! If you feel that you still need more help, you can schedule an Ask Me Anything Call on the Our Services section of the website to touch base.

It is strongly encouraged that you start with a Discovery Call so we can get to know each other and you can tell Katelyn about the sleep struggles you are experiencing. If you decide that working with Katelyn will be a good fit, you can purchase the plan that best fits your needs. 

If you purchase a sleep plan, you will be prompted to fill out a questionnaire about your child's sleep and Katelyn will use that information to develop a personalized sleep plan for your child. After reviewing your child's plan, you will have the opportunity to schedule a call to discuss the plans and ask any questions you may have before getting started.--Katelyn wants you to feel comfortable with any decisions we make regarding your child as you know them best!

If your purchase includes support, you will have access to Katelyn via text and up to two scheduled phone calls to discuss progress and troubleshoot any issues along the way. At the end of the two weeks, you have the opportunity to schedule a call to celebrate and ask any lingering questions.
