MEET LAUREN. THE PEDIATRIC SLEEP CONSULTANT
that believes that all families should be well rested.
Sleep matters. And not just sleep for your child- sleep for your ENTIRE family. Yourself included! I have been right where you are. Exhausted and desperate to find some sort of solution to find my children to sleep. It can feel so overwhelming trying to navigate your child's sleep. I knew that by getting restful and restorative sleep, I would only be able to be a better mother for my children. And I knew that by getting better sleep, my kids would be healthier, happier, and more regulated! Luckily, I was able to find a group of sleep consultants who changed our lives forever. Through working with them, my children slept- and in turn, my husband and I slept. We were ALL rested and happy! And we were able to live our lives fully- enjoying vacations as a family and date nights, making memories, being flexible and adaptable with our plans, and feeling empowered to navigate sleep problems with our children. My anxiety around sleep vanished and I felt confident in my abilities as a parent.

In 2023, I began my journey to become a certified pediatric sleep consultant through the Collective for Family Rest and Wellness. I was determined to help empower other parents and transform their lives through fostering independent sleep skills for their children. In 2024, I completed my certification process and started Sleepy Beginnings. The transition into parenthood is truly life changing. My goal as a sleep consultant is to empower and teach you how to support your child and yourself during this journey. Sleep isn't a one size fits all approach. We will work together to find creative solutions and strategies to best fit your child's needs based off temperament, age, and your desires as a parent. I am located in Central Illinois but support families across the world virtually! I want to help your family get the sleep you deserve and get back to living the life you always wanted.
Supporting your child's sleep in all early pediatric stages of life:
I believe that all families should be well rested. Being a parent does not mean that you and your child are destined to a lifetime of exhaustion. Whether you are in need of individualized 1:1 support, a customized sleep plan for you to follow on your own, or just a few troubleshooting questions answered about your child's sleep, I want to guide and support your family on your journey to being well rested through each phase of life. I am able to provide services remotely anywhere across the world or in person locally in the Central Illinois region. Sleepy Beginnings provides sleep support for the following age ranges:
