Our family was lost before Courtney came to our rescue! Her process was simple and straightforward and brought sanity and clarity back to our lives! Our 8 month old was still sleeping in our bed and waking up up to 7 times a night. After trying the no-cry sleep method with no luck we were desperate for help. After just three nights with Courtney our 8 month old baby fell asleep in her crib after just 5 minutes and stayed asleep for 12 hours! Almost a month later and our baby is religiously sleeping 12 hours a night and taking two naps a day. Courtney was very available and professional, having her expertise and confidence was just what we needed. My husband and I have our bed back, our life back, and most importantly, our sanity back. We are better parents now that we are rested and our baby is now rested and happy as well. Don't wait another sleepless night! Thank you Courtney, for the amazing experience that will literally last a lifetime.

My family can not be more grateful for the amazing service Courtney provided us! At 4 months, baby Elijah was waking every 2 hours or more and could only sleep rocking in he rock n play, in my arms or in the swing. He was waking to feed all night long and then would go on hunger strike during the day. A typical night looked like me going to bed as soon as he did so I could get those couple hours of uninterrupted sleep. Then after that it was up every 1-2 hours and by 2 am he would only sleep when being held in bed and by 4 we'd move out into the living room to sleep in the swing. This was every single night. My husband works late so I would never see him in the evening because I'd already be asleep and when I did finally see him it would be during one of our wake ups and we'd all be cranky. We could not go on like this!!!! I was at the end of my rope!
Courtney came highly recommended by another Mom and I knew it was time to get some help. I'm so very happy I did! Courtney was amazimg! Right from the begining she assured us that her program would work for Elijah and that she could get all of us more sleep!
She was so supportive the whole time and was there to talk and answer questions. Her encouragement and support is for sure one of the main reasons we were successful. Elijah decided to learn to roll over which made for a bit of a obsical. Courtney was there every step of the way and led us through. Elijah is now sleeping through the night (7-7) and taking 3 naps a day all in his crib....no more rocking!!!! He eats like a champ throughout the day and we are not waking for feedings at night anymore!!
I now have my evenings back and can actually stay up and have some me time after he goes to bed. My husband and I are spending way more quality time together and Elijah is a much happier baby boy! We all have some predictability in our lives now which is everything!!!
I would highly recommend working with Courtney if you're looking to get more sleep for you and your little ones. We are just so so grateful! I'm looking forward to working with Courtney again as she helps us plan for our first trip away from home! These services Courtney offers are seriously priceless!
Thank you so much for everything you do!!!

With my second child I swore I wasn’t going to introduce any sleep props from the get go, clearly I was naive to the fact that that is so very much easier said than done especially when you have a toddler as well! Before I called Courtney, Taylor was taking short 30 minute naps in her swing with a soother and sleeping in my arms every night while nursing to sleep. She would get up numerous times and I could barely move in my sleep without startling her and then having to nurse her to sleep again. With Courtney’s support we saw improvements by night 2 and she was sleeping through the night in her crib with no props or feedings by night 5! Her 30 minute naps are a thing of the past, she now naps 1 - 3 hours in her crib with no help needed. Courtney’s methods were gentle and we were able to stay in the room with Taylor and she leaned this new vital skill with her parents by her side to support her. We are so grateful we made the decision to work with Courtney!

Upon meeting Courtney, she immediately put us at ease, and made us feel confident that her sleep program would work for us, which I didn’t think was possible because the bond between our son was so strong and that our little boy would only nap on Mom during the day and would only sleep Between Mom and Dad at night. From day one Courtney was super positive and supportive. We couldn’t believe it but on night two Grayson slept right through the night! With 100% commitment and patience her sleep plan program works wonders!!
Grayson now sleeps anywhere between 11-12 hour nights and sleeps 3 hours during the day. He wakes up refreshed every morning and so happy.
Thank you so much Courtney for your dedication and daily support. We couldn’t have done it without you! Courtney is a wonderful sleep consultant and we highly recommend her

Words can't even express how grateful we are to Courtney! Around 4.5 months when we would put Jolene to bed she would wake constantly after 35-45min. Then, when she would finally sleep longer it would only be for an hour or two at a time. We thought we were doing all "the right" things (swaddle, sound machine, dark room, bouncing her until drowsy but awake, etc.), but her sleep just kept getting worse and we were exhausted (especially since we also have a toddler as well!)!
Based on recommendations from other local moms, we contacted Courtney and we're so happy we did! She has been so supportive and responsive throughout the entire process, which really makes all the difference when you're not sure if you're doing things right. It will always take time to learn a new skill, but from the very first night Jolene's sleep improved. Within two weeks she surprised us by sleeping an 11 hour stretch and taking 2hr naps!!!
Courtney takes the time to listen to you and help set attainable and customized goals that she ensures get achieved in your time with her. Our doctor was a bit concerned about Jolene's weight gain, so we wanted to keep a night feed and Courtney worked with us to come up with a customized plan to do just that. Thank you Courtney for helping us teach Jolene good sleep habits, we are all happier and well rested because of it!

My husband and I were looking for a Sleep Consultant because our little girl Cleo stopped sleeping around 3-4 months. Cleo was getting crankier and crankier and her sleep patterns were becoming more and more random. As a result, I stopped sleeping too. Courtney was recommended to us by a good friend that knew Courtney well and praised her process - so we called her up. From day one, I have been very impressed with Courtney's professionalism. She was aways on time, very prepared and on top of our schedule. Courtney trained my husband and I to get our little girl to sleep. She provided support when we needed it and customized our plan based on little Cleo. At six months, Cleo sleeps amazingly. She sleeps 12 hours at night, she naps on schedule and she is a very happy little girl. Because Cleo is sleeping, I have been able to sleep, finish a course, move into a new place successfully and do this on a set schedule. I hope that all new moms that are thinking about using Courtney's services do! It was the best thing my husband and I did for ourselves, our relationship and our little girl. Thank you Courtney, your services have made our life with Cleo that much better and you were so incredibly wonderful to work with. I recommend you to everyone I meet that can't get their little ones to sleep!

I cannot speak highly enough about Courtney! Thankfully she was referred to me by another Mumma and when we first talked I was at such a hopeless place. My baby was up all night and could only be bounced back to sleep and I was in tears by the end of the day. And my toddler was up several times and somehow ended up in our bed and then would be up for the day at 3:30 am! It was a bad situation!
Courtney was so great during the whole time, always checking in, going that extra step, helping me through every situation and giving me the confidence I needed. She worked with our family and made sure we were comfortable with the plan and helped us make changes along the way when we needed to. We are in such a different place now!! Baby naps in her crib so well, only gets up once or twice and my toddler stays in her bed all night!! I cannot thank her enough, and highly recommmend to everyone!

Thank you Courtney for bringing sanity back to our lives. She has supported us at every step, answered emails and messages very promptly and provided "a pat on the back" when we needed it. Our youngest is a happy, well-rested baby and Mom and Dad now have our evenings back... not to mention sleep again! Whatever you do.. don't put off hiring Courtney to help your family get some sleep.

Thank you Courtney for your guidance and skilful approach in meeting our family’s sleep needs. When our twins entered our life it was a world wind of change, they were two babies with very different sleep needs. Along with our twins our six year old bedroom was right next door to the nursery. Courtney carefully crafted out a plan that would work for all of us. We were able to successfully implement the plan and developed confidence along the way- in being able to manage as our children’s needs shifted and changed through the years. She was prompt in answering our questions, informative and supportive. Our three-month-old twins are now sleeping through the night and their daytime naps are consolidated. Thank you Courtney for providing us with the gift of restful sleep.

Words can't express how thankful we are to Courtney and her sleep expertise. She has truly changed our lives. When we began to work with Courtney, our twins were 4 months old. Shortly after nursing them to sleep, they would wake up and my husband and I would began our 'routine' of walking/ rocking/ shushing and popping soothers back into their mouths for sometimes over an hour, multiple times a night. Naps weren't much better.
Courtney listened to our concerns and issues and created a plan tailored to us and our twins. She was available and enthusiastic every time we had questions or needed a bit of extra encouragement. Now, our twins fall asleep within minutes and sleep for 12 hours! The nap schedule Courtney created for us works great as well. Our babies are getting the sleep they need (and so are we!!), they wake up happy and well rested.
This has benefited our whole family in so many ways.
Throughout this process, Courtney was professional, supportive and kind. Thanks to Courtney , my husband and I look forward to evenings and finally have some time to ourselves!

Time and time again, friends and family will comment on how happy our little guy is. I can confidently say that he is so happy because he sleeps, and the reason he sleeps is Courtney! It was so easy to form bad habits while wanting to soothe your child so that everyone can get some sleep – any sleep. I was having to swaddle, shush, pat, and bounce my child to sleep 4-5 times daily just to get through. Once the 4 month regression hit and he was up every 90 minutes overnight, I was at my wit’s end. Calling Courtney was the best possible thing for our family. Nolan has been sleeping through the night since the age of 5 months!
Providing an objective perspective, Courtney kept us on track by providing gentle coaching as to how to best implement the her method. It is easy to fall into old habits, but along the way Courtney had a wonderful way of identifying exactly what we needed to change in order to be successful, working with us in a sensitive but straightforward way.
Now, when sleeping challenges arise (travel, teething etc.), I am confident that I have the tools to get us back on track, and get my little man the rest he needs. Thank you Courtney!
