ABOUT ME
Katie Blackwell
Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant
Sleep Training my own babies was a journey. I was so overwhelmed by all the information I read on the internet, not to mention by all the guilt that comes with motherhood.
Once we found a method that worked for us, it was life changing. By seven months old our twins were consistently sleeping through the night. As I began to work off my sleep debt I slowly started to morph into the mom I always wanted to be. I stopped just surviving and started to enjoy parenthood. I was happier, my husband was happier, and my children were happier.
I have been obsessed with baby sleep ever since! I think that parents should be able to enjoy the baby stage and focus on falling in love with their babies, not just on survival.
MY APPROACH
Creating a plan that works for you
I believe that every parent and child is unique, therefore a cookie cutter approach to sleep training just isn't good enough. My process involves getting a detailed understanding of your child's personality and your parenting style so that I can create a sleep training plan that is effective and will work for both of you. No one on the internet can tell you the right way to parent, especially me. I will use your parenting expertise to create the best sleep plan for your child.
My approaches are evidenced based and backed by research. That means that not only will I create a plan that is customized to you and your child, but it will also be a plan that WORKS.


MY EDUCATION
I am a certified sleep consultant through the Cradle Coach Academy. I was very particular with my choice about deciding where to get my certification through. The Cradle Coach academy offered me a comprehensive education with over 200 hours of self paced content and volunteer hands on experience. I have worked with several families on a volunteer basis, all of whom showed significant improvement in their child's sleep!
Prior to sleep consulting I obtained bachelors degrees in psychology and sociology. I also have earned my masters degree in social work. These degrees offered classes related to my current field including child development classes and behavior modification courses.
