Success Stories

“Our 4.5mo son was needing us to help him fall asleep and stay asleep, we were constantly rocking and holding him for whenever he needed to sleep night or day. We were becoming so sleep deprived it was really started to affect our family since we have a toddler to take care of as well. We decided something needed to change, we came across Jennifer’s page and after talking to her during our free consultation we knew right away we wanted to work with her. She walked us through a very detailed approach that felt suitable for our son, made us feel like our concerns were heard and that our son’s health and wellbeing was always her number one priority. By night 3 our son was sleeping through the night, we couldn’t believe it! We felt like there was finally some light at the end of the tunnel for us. Jennifer has been extremely supportive throughout this entire process, she’s very responsive to any questions I have and beyond compassionate as well. I’m so glad we found her and can’t thank her enough for what she’s done for our family!“

“Our 3 month old daughter was typically sleeping through the night which was wonderful.  However, we would have to sit in her room with her for about 2 hours every night to get her to fall asleep and stay asleep. The process consisted of holding her, feeding her, rocking her, and putting the pacifier back in her mouth over and over again.  This would not be sustainable long-term because we have another child to care for.  Within the first week of following Jennifer’s plan, our daughter was going into the crib awake 2-3 hours earlier than usual and putting herself to sleep.  She now sleeps 11-12 hours a night and is taking much longer naps.  Jennifer was extremely easy to get in touch with and addressed any questions/concerns we had.  We highly recommend her.  Best money we ever spent!“

“Jennifer has been so helpful sleep training our 4 month old baby. Before consulting her , I was sleep deprived and just not myself and was going through a extremely difficult phase because my baby was only sleeping when i rock her and would sleep only when held. I hardly slept for 2 hours a night. When we contacted her , she gave us such a confidence in our first call with her which encouraged me to sleep train my baby.

As my baby was 4 month old – she learned the skills really fast and there was not much of protest from

her side to fall asleep on her own. But our challenge was getting her to sleep longer for which Jennifer provided us with lot of helpful tips. She even prepared us for future and provided us with lot of information which would have been confusing if we were just looking out on google.

Now my baby sleeps on her own in less than 5 mins and she has the skill which we think she can use it even during next sleep regression phases.“

“My husband and I are so grateful to Jennifer! We are first time parents, which in and of itself is stressful, but we were really struggling with getting our daughter to sleep properly. From the time she was six weeks old, we had to bounce her to sleep. We didn’t think much of it as she was so young, and she stayed asleep after our help, but as she got older, she would wake as soon as we stopped bouncing or put her down, and woke several times a night. We were exhausted from bouncing and sleep deprivation, and depressed that this was our entire existence! It became clear that we could not continue living that way, and when our daughter reached 4 months of age, I took to the internet to figure out what to do. I learned about sleep consultants and researched a few before contacting Jennifer. My husband and I were sure she was the one after only about 2 minutes into our FREE 15 minute consultation call. We hired her, implemented her training, and our daughter slept through the night on NIGHT ONE.
I hate hearing my daughter cry—it makes ME cry—but Jennifer’s program is compassionate, allowing for parents to reassure their little ones while at the same time no longer enabling bad habits. Another great thing about Jennifer’s services is that she is 100% available to you, answering all of your emails in a timely manner during the day and evening. She also pays close attention to your child’s progress, and is quick to implement changes if your child is not progressing in any certain area, as she understands that every child has certain challenges that are unique to them.
Jennifer’s service is money well spent, and if there is anything that I regret, it is not finding her sooner. She is kind, patient, professional, and genuinely interested in the well-being of her clients.”Jennifer is amazing. She worked with us and within days my baby was sleeping sooo much better. I can’t thank her enough for the sanity that has returned to my life. More importantly, Jennifer COMPLETELY empowered me as a mommy and reinforced me as a strong woman. I am so thankful and happy to have found her.”

“We had no hope in our 16 month old ever sleeping consistently, but we took a chance on trying a sleep consultant after several people recommended it. I’m SO grateful we found Jennifer. She was compassionate, validating, and straight-forward in her approach. We felt confident for the first time in our son’s life that we could follow a schedule and it would result in him sleeping better. This was after trying all the “methods.” We are so grateful to say his sleep (and ours) is so much better! He is going down without a fight and sleeping through the night almost every night. He is a more rested boy and it shows. It was worth everything to see him happy in the mornings now. And we have Jennifer’s support and expertise to thank.
Thank you Jennifer! We couldn’t have done it without you!”

“Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!  I just had to tell you that!  Baby C is doing FANTASTIC, we are all doing FANTASTIC!  I didn’t realize how sleep deprived my husband, my baby, and myself actually were.  My what I thought was already a happy baby is HAPPY HAPPY now.  She is sleeping 11-12 hours a night with absolutely no help from anyone, but herself.  She is napping great at home too, 1-2 hours twice a day.  Daycare not so much, but she is still very happy there and I just get her a nap as soon as we get home to get her over the hump, but things may get better over time with that too (she’s a light sleeper like me and my oldest).  Not only did she sleep train with a double ear infection, but she has popped both bottom teeth in the last two weeks too.  What a champ she really is!  She was certainly ready for good sleep and I wish I hadn’t waited so long.  I tried to be a super mom, but sometimes you just have to give in and ask for help, that’s what I have learned.  I have shared my wonderful experience with you with several other sleep deprived parents and hopefully they will bite the bullet and give you a call, because they are in the same boat as me.”

“Jen was a lifesaver I was exhausted all the time my daughter would only sleep 45-60 min around the clock I could never get anymore no matter what I did. One night I was up 4am trying to find answers to why she woul not sleep I came across Jennifer. I called her that morning she asked a few questions about my daughter and was able to reassure me that I was not the only one that had a child who would not sleep. My husband was very skeptical about it but I knew I had to do something and in my gut it felt this was it. Jen was great she layed out a plan and helped me every step of the way. My daughter went from.sleeping 45 min on me to sleeping thru the night in her crib and also two to three hour naps my husband was amazed by her sleeping let alone in her crib. I can not thank Jen enough for all her help she changed all our lives and we Love our sleep now!”

“Exhausted. Tired. Fatigued. Lack of quality sleep. You name it and that’s how we felt (not our son, but us!) before Jennifer helped us change our 4 ½ year old son’s sleep habits. His bedtime routine was very long, leaving us very little parent-time; we had to lie down with him while he fell asleep; he woke up in the middle of the night and needed to be helped back to sleep; and rose at varying hours in the morning. Jennifer’s plan literally changed our lives. Now, he goes to bed earlier – with no assistance, he’s enthusiastic about reciting his bedtime routine, there are no more middle of the night wake-ups; he has a morning wake-up time; he no longer comes into our bedroom at any time of the morning; and we have parent-time at night. And, he is so proud of himself! Because we made a lot of changes, we were prepared for much protest, but in actuality, it all went very smoothly. One of the things I really appreciated about working with Jennifer was that she didn’t just hand us a plan and leave us hanging. She really listened to our feedback and we were able to marry her plan with our schedule challenges, as well as make some tweaks to suit our son’s (and our) personalities. She was always there for us, by phone or email. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“WOW! Jennifer must be the magic fairy of baby sleep. She must have sprinkled some magic fairy dust in our house when she came to visit. Our son was a complete mess when it came to sleep. He was so dependent on us to go to sleep that we were at our wits end. We read all the books, tried all of the methods and nothing was working. Jennifer’s sleep plan worked on the first night and it has been smooth sailing ever since. She was available and attentive to our issues and questions and even reached out to the people at our daycare that were hesitant to get on board

We were definitely hesitant to bring in outside help to get our son to sleep better, but are so glad that we did. It really has made all the difference. It has even helped us develop better sleep habits in our older son. If you are wrestling with the idea of enlisting the help of a professional, we can honestly say it has been worth every penny! Thanks so much!”

When our third child was born, we were expecting it to be somewhat easy; we figured that we already had it down  with getting baby to sleep  issues. We had one good sleeper and one not so great, but Baby D was really off the charts.  He did not like sleeping in his crib, and would only sleep in his bassinet for an hour or two at a time. He also wanted to be held or rocked to sleep, which was impossible with 2 other little ones to care for.    The week before we started our sleep plan, he literally was getting up every hour through the night to be held.  We were exhausted and overwhelmed and knew we needed help. Through the questionnaire, Jennifer was able to quickly determine what the problem was and laid out a comprehensive sleep plan detailing a step-by-step, path forward.  Her supportive conversations and emails and calm demeanor throughout the first steps of implementing our plan helped us stay the course.  Following her plan, we saw immediate progress.  Our son now goes to bed quietly at around 7pm, and gets up at around 7am with only one feeding through the night.  He’s happier and we’re more rested, which leads to a happier household.  Jen’s plan for getting Baby D to sleep better has also had a positive impact on our whole family’s sleep habits and bedtime routine. We’ve never written a testimonial, but felt inspired to share our thoughts about Jennifer’s help; it’s been life-changing and we feel as if we have taken back the night!”

“Thanks to Jennifer and the Gift of Sleep Consulting, we (the baby, my husband and I) are all getting a wonderful nights sleep and enjoying a consistent nap schedule during the day.  We went from getting about an hour between night wakings to now a full 12 hours of sleep.  The whole process was pretty painless for all of us and we find the baby is much happier with his new schedule.  Thank you so much Jen!  We can’t thank you enough for all of your help and guidance.  Big Casey and I could KISS YOU that’s how happy we are.  It’s still amazing to me.”

“I found my way to Gift of Sleep Consulting after seeing a friend and her family have great success with the program and hearing her proclaim that it was the best money she’s spent on anything baby-related.

So, ran to the computer and waved the white flag in the form of an e-mail to Jennifer entitled “Help!” As I explained in that email, I was a severely sleep-deprived, breastfeeding mama of a beautiful but also very sleep-deprived five-month-old boy. My son, Baby R, was getting approximately 11 hours of very broken sleep a day. I’m talking a few 45-minute naps and nighttime sleep that was interrupted by wakings up to eight times a night and couldn’t get my baby to sleep through the night.

I could tell he was chronically tired and despite my best efforts every day get baby to sleep he did not sleep long enough to get the sleep that he needed.

I was a zombie, barely making it through each day. I was exhausted, forgetful, unable to concentrate or make decisions, full of anxiety, and frequently in tears. All I could think about was sleep – both Baby R’s and my own! I managed to read a handful of baby sleep books but became paralyzed by the conflicting messages.

I just didn’t know what to do. I started to believe that I’d never sleep again and thinking, “baby will not sleep“.    Enter The Gift of Sleep Consulting.  Help was officially on its way. My husband and I met with Jennifer for a consultation in our home (I still think she sprinkled magic sleep dust here) where she gathered information from us and created a personalized sleep plan for Baby R. Two nights later, my husband and I implemented the plan.

It was clear and easy-to-follow…basically foolproof. And guess what? IT REALLY WORKED. We saw a massive improvement on night one. By night two, Baby R was sleeping through the night. Naps have also increased in length, so we finally have some predictability and structure to our days. Baby R is a much happier baby now and is getting the sleep that he needs! He’s learned a valuable skill – how to sleep independently – which will serve him throughout his life. With consistent nighttime sleep, I’m also back in the land of the living, and very happy to have the energy to enjoy my wonderful family. Jennifer was with us every step of the way. Through phone calls and emails, she consistently reviewed our progress, answered our (many) questions, and gave us sincere encouragement and support.  Thank you, Jennifer, for helping this family reclaim our days, nights, energy, and happiness!”

“Our lives were truly transformed! We have a sleeping baby…HOORAY! Before working with Jennifer, my husband and I were beyond exhausted every single day…basically since we brought our baby home 8 months ago. During the day she wouldn’t take naps longer than 20-30 minutes and at night she was waking every 1.5-3 hours and had to be nursed back to sleep every time she woke up. Finally we had hit our breaking point and out of desperation, my husband googled sleep consultants at 2am on a particularly bad night with our baby. He found Jennifer’s website and scheduled a consult with her immediately. Fast forward to not even a month later and after working with Jennifer for just 3 weeks, our baby is sleeping through the night, no longer nursing to sleep and taking much better naps during the day too! Not only are we all sleeping so much better than before, we are all happier…especially our baby! It is a true blessing of a gift that Jennifer has been given to help families get their little babes to sleep. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is struggling with a sleepless baby. She will truly bring your family the ‘Gift of Sleep’! Thanks again Jennifer!“

“I am so grateful we got in touch with Jennifer! We had been struggling with poor sleep habits and family sleep deprivation for a while. My daughter is 2.5 and we tried so many different methods and routines to establish consistent sleep but were completely lost and at our wits end by the time we reached out for a sleep consultant.

Jennifer has an excellent understanding of the toddler mind and behavior. Our sleep plan helped us establish better boundaries with my daughter both at bedtime and during the day. The reward system we used gave her tons of positive reinforcement even on the difficult days. Before this we had been trying for 6 months to wean off a reliance on bottles to fall asleep and I was convinced that would be the hardest part. But by day 3 my daughter was falling asleep without it and hardly putting up a fuss. I think we just needed the reassurance to stand our ground no matter how much a fight it becomes. We came out the otherside as a stronger family. My daughter is now going to bed every night at 8:30 pm with no sleep crutches and sleeps through the night until 6:30 AM.“

“I truly recommend working with Jen if you have any insecurities about your child’s sleep. I had so much anxiety surrounding the sleep of our first child, Cameron. There are SO many resources out there on sleep – it can be incredibly overwhelming to try and figure out who to listen to and what to follow. We hired Jen when my son was about 4 months and we wanted to transition him from the Snoo bassinet to his crib. I was so worried! What if he didn’t get enough sleep? What if I was up all night? Sleep training terrified me too. I couldn’t imagine having to listen to my baby cry for hours. I quickly learned that those aren’t the only two options! Jen was there every step of the way. She gave me the confidence to know that my son had the ability to learn the sleeping skills he needed. Now, at just over 7 months old, he is sleeping through the night almost every night, 11 – 12 hours, alone in his crib. He also is a great napper, getting 3 hours+ of day sleep also in his crib. If you are anxious like me, hire Jen. Instead of your mom, your friends, or worse, the internet, let this unbiased expert be your sounding board and guide! The value her service and open communication provides is priceless.“

“Our 3.5 year old son was a total disaster at bed and overnight. He refused to sleep in his own room and was on a mattress in the master, he started refusing to go to bed himself (wanted one of us to go to sleep at 7:30) and was up a few times a night. We were exhausted and frustrated.
I found Jennifer via google and hired her after our initial phone call. Her approach seemed like what we wanted, not a just lock him in his room and make him scream approach, but also something firm with rules.
Jennifer came to our house with a detailed plan and talked us through all the steps. I have to say I was very skeptical if it would work. Within just a few nights we made a ton of progress. Our son actually liked the rules (and rewards). Our son responded way faster than we expected, Jennifer still stayed in touch to make sure we were on track.
I’m happy to say we have a 4 year old who is not a struggle at all to get to bed. He sleeps all night and generally stays in his room until the time we chose as his wake up time.
It seems like a lot to do, to hire someone to help with this. We needed Jennifer to teach us how to set the right limits for our very strong willed child.
Having gone through 3.5 years of sleep h*ll I can say this was one of the best things we ever did and I only regret not hiring Jennifer sooner. I recommend her 100%!”
