Katie is absolutely phenomenal!!! I cannot say enough good about this woman, she seriously is an angel! I was so stressed because my 10 month baby was taking only 30 minute naps & I wasn't getting the breaks I needed. With Katie's help & advice my baby finally started taking proper naps. She is a lifesaver! She treats you as family & is so incredibly understanding. My husband & I appreciated a more gentle approach to help our baby sleep better. She has different sleep plans to help fit your specific needs & preferences best. She met us where we were comfortable & found a way that worked right for us. She calmed my mama anxiety down & was so patient & kind in answering my million questions. She was professional & amazing at being flexible in her schedule with us. I also appreciated how encouraging she was especially since I am a first time Mama. She has such a natural ability to uplift others & brings a level of sincerity & care that's hard to find. Thank you Katie! You are SO loved & appreciated beyond measure!!! read more

Katie is a lifesaver. She is my favorite person in the world. I found Katie through Yelp when I had my first son. I wish I found her sooner. He was 9 months old when I contacted Baby Sleep Well. We were new parents and desperate for sleep. My son was sleeping in our bed and waking up at all hours of the night. We had our first initial meeting and Katie sleep trained me and my husband. We learned different tips to help our son sleep through the night. It was hard at first but now my son is 2 years old and has the best sleeping habits. I called Katie again when I gave birth to my 2nd child and from the beginning Katie helped us start a good routine. She is heaven sent. I have a 1 year old and 2 year old now and they both sleep in their own rooms in the crib and through the night. How amazing is that! All thanks to Katie from baby sleep well. I never do reviews but Katie is the best. I recommend her to all my friends who have kids. Even to this day if my kids are over tired I always think about what would Katie do. read more

MOST SLEEP WE'VE HAD IN 8 MONTHS!!! Katie changed our lives. That might sound dramatic but it's the absolute truth. We were waking up every 45 minutes to 2 hours with our 8 month-old EVERY NIGHT. And he would only fall asleep by nursing. The beginning of our coaching process was tough but we stuck with it and felt empowered by all that Katie had taught us. By the 4th night, our baby slept through the night (12 hours in his own room with 1 night feeding) for the first time in his life. He woke up happy as a clam! If you're struggling with baby sleep, we can't recommend her enough! read more

OMG! Let me start by telling you that my husband and I almost had given up the hope that our children would eventually sleep in their own bed, at a reasonable time and sleep through the night. I wanted to wait a lil while (4weeks) to write this review to make sure that it is not temporary but rather the new norm. We were severely sleep deprived like I am sure a lot of you who are looking to get a sleep consultant. Let me start by saying: Don't look further, Katie is the whole package and will truly change the life of your children and yours in such a positive way. We have been moving a few times since the kids were born and both kids (3.3 years old boy and 14 months old girl) would sleep with us, my daughter would constantly nurse at night otherwise she would wake up and my son just needed mommy to be with him. So, we all had to go to bed whenever the kids would go to sleep and stay there. Time for ourselves was almost not existent. Both kids would wake up several times a night and so did we, except that it was much harder for us to fall back asleep. Exhausted and to be honest with very little hope, I desperately looked up several sleep consultants and found in Katie everything i was looking for. I loved that Katie - was in Honolulu (we had planned to get the in home package); - was certified by the family sleep institute that indicated to me that her practices will be scientifically based. - promised to empower the parent to become their child's sleep expert - shared her personal story which made her relatable - professional and kind Enthusiastically, I filled out her form and the next day we jumped on a call to discuss our children's sleeping needs and what to expect. We purchased two phone packages (because of COVID-19 we could not do the in home one) and she generously gave us a sibling discount. She was SO kind, knowledgeable, optimistic, encouraging, empowering, thorough, patient and such a great listener. I appreciated mostly, that Katie never made me feel rushed on our calls and most of our calls ended way past our 15 min daily consultations. I always ended the calls feeling more empowered and ready to tackle whatever the issue was. The most important thing for us was to make this transition as smooth and peaceful for our kids as possible. Before bed I would choose a peaceful place to nurse my daughter and connect before night time (I was not ready to give up nursing just yet) and then my husband would take over her bedtime routine and I would go into my sons room and do his bedtime routine. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that we LOVE bedtime now and that special time to connect, read a story, our gratitude practice and positive self affirmations. Both of my children go to bed by 6:45pm, they sleep 12 hours through and nap/quiet time for 90+ min. If you think your sleep situation is hopeless, Katie is the right person to go to. She changed our lives and we will be forever grateful! Her passion for what she does truly shows. Maholo read more

So you just got a baby, enjoyed all the phases of unconditional love in the first 3 months but now you are feeling the hardships of the 4 month regression and can't sleep and about to throw in the towel? This was us and we finally realized and questioned where our time went as we tried to catch up with sleep. Our little dude was up at the weirdest time of the night, wouldn't sleep more than 30 minutes during the day for naps (nap trapped) and we noticed he was such a grouch. We couldn't take it and invested in a sleep training consultant. Baby Sleep Well was theeee best thing to invest in for our guy. As a parent we were at our wits end and took every step, every tip, every lesson that Katie gave us to HEART and boy did it work!!! Instead of 2 hour stretches of sleep for us during the night because of night wakings, we ALL (3 of us) now get more than 8 hours of sleep!! 8 HOURS!! This is with a 4 month old! Now he is 8 months and all those regressions/growth spurts/new milestones that kids go through was a breeze because he sleeps super well at night and for me during the day when I telework!! Remember Katie is there to give you the guidance and keys to making your child get their sleep as well as for the parents. But you as the parent have to do the work and just listen to all that she has to teach. She is an amazing, sweet, very knowledgeable woman that we thank everyday for helping us all get the sleep we need for our guy's development. He is always happy and smiling, he is no longer gassy during the night, he sleeps a min of 12 hours a night (which a child needs for development), and both of us get the sleep we need to function during the day. DO NOT HESITATE to call Katie!! You will be sooooo appreciative!! read more

If you find yourself thinking any of these things "I need help, I can't keep going like this, my baby needs sleep, I need sleep" contact Baby Sleep Well immediately. My wife and I are both veterans and have had to go through some difficult situations involving lack of sleep, however, after the birth of our son we experienced a whole new level of sleep deprivation. We honestly felt like we were going crazy and didn't know what to do. Thankfully, like you reading this, we turned to the internet for help, and decided to give Baby Sleep Well a shot. Thank goodness we did. Katie (the founder of Baby Sleep Well) is professional, caring, and sweet. Just talking to her on the phone gave me hope that my son, wife, and I could live in a world where everyone was able to sleep. It was a tremendous relief. After, going through the program (a painless process), we were set up for success. The very first night we implemented Katie's guidance, our son slept for 12 hours straight! He had only done that randomly one previous time (he was 6 months when we sought Baby Sleep Well's help). If you are struggling, if you are at your wits end, don't worry, it can get better. Give Baby Sleep Well a shot. It will be the best decision you make regarding your baby's (and your) health. read more

Katie is a wonderful person to work with. While we were sleep training our son, she was always available to answer our questions and often went above and beyond the agreed upon services. Our son had severe eczema and was only sleeping for an hour at a time when we started with Katie. Today he is generally able to self sooth without a problem. I would recommend her services to anyone with a child who is struggling with sleep! read more

Katie is the real deal, the name of her company is a very good description of what she does. My daughter 11 month old and waking up four to five times a night. And taking long time to go down. Katie came to our house went through the program with us. She showed us how we should carry our baby and rock her before we put her down to sleep. My daughter now has a routine that helps her go to sleep fast and sleep through the night. There are still some occasions where she will wake up once or twice at the most. But 90% of the time it is smooth sailing. Thank you Katie for giving us our sleep back. My wife I thank you. read more

Baby Sleep Well - Sophie B. is well rested and happy - Sleep Specialists Near Me

As a first time mom, I really didn't know anything about how babies sleep. My husband and I had no clue on how to get her to take naps or sleep through the night. It was okay for a while because I was on maternity leave for about five and a half months but once I went back to work, reality really sunk in. It literally was like being a zombie going to work because my baby would be waking up two or three times a night to feed. There were times when I felt myself falling asleep at the wheel when driving home. It was bad. But I just kept thinking, maybe this is how it's supposed to be and that I just have to tough it out. I asked for advice from everyone at work. Man, I never got so many people's opinion about getting baby to sleep at night. Some of them were pretty ludicrous like put her face her toward the east or something like that. Others were give her formula. I've tried it all and all haven't worked. Until I met Katie at an expo at the Blaisdell. She gave me her card and explained her program. I told my husband and he was all about it. I think he felt sorry for me, the walking zombie. I got in touch with her and she came for a home consultation. She came and checked out her room and told us what needed to adjusted. She told us the optimal temperature and type of clothing that was preferred. At the time she was sleeping in our room but we wanted to transition her to her room. Then she met with us to go over the plan and how to sleep train Kylie. Within a couple of days using her sleep method and plan, Kylie was a much better sleeper at night. And when she was a better sleeper at night it transitioned over to her naps. She slowly got into a nap routine during the day. It was wonderful. Of course there are always little things that may make her suddenly awake (teething, growth spurt, etc) but if you stick to the sleep plan, you'll benefit tremendously. During the summer, which was about two months being on the program, my boss looks at me and says, "wow you look a lot better now." I was like, "Gee thanks." He says,"No, you just looked so exhausted a few months ago." I was like yeah thanks to Katie at Baby Sleep Well. I can sleep through the whole night without my baby waking up. And you would be amazed at how much she can sleep. Everyone I talk to is super amazed that she can sleep so much at night. She sleeps from 6:30 pm to about 6:15 am everyday. It's wonderful because I can have my own time now with my husband. Katie has not only helped my baby sleep better, she has also helped my marriage, and me with sleep issues. So if you are having issues with your baby napping or sleeping through the night, don't hesitate, go make an appointment with Katie at Baby Sleep Well. I promise you that you won't regret it. She will support you every step of the way. read more

The fact that I am writing this review should be testament to Katie's powers because it shows that I actually have the time to write a review now that my 4 month old is napping! As a first time mom with a high needs baby/borderline colic, I was suffering from sleep deprivation and some post partum anxiety. I never had time My baby was high needs/borderline colic. She refused to sleep on her back, fought naps, never slept longer than 20 minutes for naps and cried for a long time when I put her in her crib. The only way I could find much needed sleep at night for both of us was to co-sleep with her while nursing. Not only was this a dangerous SIDS risk, this also meant my sleep was horrible. I would wake up every 30 minutes to an hour making sure she was still breathing and I would not roll on her. Getting up to go to the bathroom was so nerve racking so as not to wake her. My neck was stuck on the side she was nursing on that night. I didn't want to tell people that is how we slept for fear of judgment. While I managed like that for 3 months, I thought hey at least my daughter seems like she is sleeping through the night! I can get by like this... Then the 4 month regression hit her at 3.5 months. She was waking up any time between 2 am to 5 am, ready to play a while before I could nurse her back to sleep. It lasted 2 weeks and it was exhausting. Finally, Katie was recommended by my pediatrician. Katie never judged me for how I had to put my daughter to sleep all these days before. She promised that my daughter CAN sleep 12 hours through the night and take 3 to 4 naps a day. She said she will be able to sleep on her back in a crib on her own. She will be able to nap longer than 30 minutes at a time without me having to lay next to her or put her in a swing. She just needed her parents to teach her and help her get there. Katie's plan was comprehensive and I followed all of her suggestions. With her thoroughness and positive attitude it really felt like she was there for me (we did all of our consultation over the phone because of COVID) It was really difficult the first few days. But we stuck to it and every day there were small improvements. Katie encouraged us along the way with a check in phone call every day. I had my doubts that my little dragon could actually sleep without her mom next to her. I clearly didn't give her enough credit. Around a week into the training, my daughter started sleeping through the night without crying from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm. She would actually fall asleep within 15 minutes of putting her down, and if she woke up in the middle of the night, she learned to put herself back to sleep without crying for help! The naps took a little longer, but it fell into place. She is now able to take 2 to 3 naps a day, all in her crib, and sometimes these naps would have to be CAPPED at 2 hours because SHE SLEEPS TOO WELL. My dragon is like a different baby now. She is so much happier with more sleep. Katie makes sure that you, as a parent, is informed and supported 100% as long as you are ready to do this. Sleep is so important. As we just finished her 2 week program, my baby and I are blessed with more quality and quantity of blissful sleep. I find myself with so much more time to myself too. Yesterday I actually sun bathed outside for an hour while my daughter napped. I got a little emotional and so grateful because I actually had time to be myself a little. read more

Baby Sleep Well - Sleep Specialists Near Me

I'm one of those moms who reads every book, loves to consult Dr. Google and generally drives myself (and my husband) crazy with "information overload". I am also a former preschool teacher with a specialization in early childhood development and education. But, like many others have realized that, when it comes to your own kids, it is often so much easier said than done! We had tried online sleep coaching and read a ton of books. In fact, our son had done pretty well for awhile before we made the fateful decision to move him from a crib to a toddler bed at 18 months and everything fell apart. By the time I found Katie, my son was 3 and still unable to sleep on his own. With a newborn, this meant that my husband slept with our three year old while I slept in our room with the baby...all to keep the 2 kids from waking each other up. I had a ton of knowledge, but just couldn't figure out how to apply it consistently to get the results we needed. Katie was just what the doctor ordered! She is just so knowledgeable and supportive; talking to her is like talking with at trusted friend. Our consultation call and daily check-ins were just what we needed to keep us accountable and to help us get our son into his own bed! Katie helped us to tweak our strategies and by the end of the 2 weeks our son was good to go! In fact, shortly after we applied what we had learned with our infant and got him sleeping through the night too! Unfortunately, about a month after we worked with Katie my husband and I totally backslid with our older son and let him back into our bed. Leaving us with an infant who slept like a champ and a preschooler who still struggled. Funny how it has been easier to create a good sleep routine from the start for our baby but a much more complicated process to break bad habits with our older son. A talk with our pediatrician finally convinced us that it was time to get serious. Luckily Katie had given us the tools we needed to be successful. We went back and reviewed what we had worked on with Katie, recommitted to teaching our son to sleep and to making sure we sleep too! After once again putting Katie's advice into action, our son is now in is own room and doing great! The Baby Sleep Well Support Page of Facebook has been a great community to find support from other families and Katie continues to be a great resource. She offers follow-up options for clients and is so patient and supportive. I highly recommend her services and would suggest talking to her sooner rather than later. If we had just scheduled a short follow up call immediately after backsliding we would could have gotten on track again much sooner. Learning to sleep is a process, but Katie can really guide you through it. Working with Katie is an investment in yours and your child's sleep, development and well being! If you follow her advice and guidance, your child will earn to sleep and you will get some much needed rest too! read more

I can't begin to express how much Katie has helped me 'decode' what my baby was telling me and his needs regarding sleep. My munchkin was just over four months when I reached out to Katie in sheer desperation. We were getting maybe two hours of sleep at a time and waking up eight to ten times a night. With my husband overseas, I was doing it solo and was completely sleep deprived. Katie came to my home, spent several hours with me and my child and quickly got to work. That first night after implementing her recommendations, my little guy slept for seven full hours. I was shocked and relieved. There was a light at the end of the tunnel! With the struggles and when I was feeling defeated, she was there to coach me through it. I never felt alone in the process. Katie wrote out a thoughtful and complete sleep plan, tailor made for us, and included clear steps to implement the plan. She even took time to check up on us following a trip to the east coast! Here we are, now three months in, and my child is sleeping on average twelve, yes TWELVE, hours a night. Katie is not a magician, but she has a magic wand in my book! read more

You and babies need some sleep? Google no more!! Call Katie NOW!!! I'm a ftm of twins and I read the suggested books, blogs, YouTube videos, and talked to other twin parents about our babies sleep problems... We even purchased numerous ebooks and sleep programs online but after 8 months of trying literally everything, NO ONE was getting any deep sleep yet! Today is our unofficial Day #3 of following Katie's sleep guide for our twins who have been overtired for most of the 8 months of their lives. Tonight, my husband and I just put them to bed and in less than 5 minutes there was NO MORE screaming, crying, complaining, whining, wailing, or whimpering!! They are BOTH out like a light!! I'm completely amazed because I call it our "unofficial" nights since we're still waiting for a few more must-have items we ordered to arrive in the mail, but they're already catching up on what Katie calls their "sleep debt." The twins are now moving "into the black," as am I (YAYY!!) and I cannot be happier. :D read more

Utilized Katie's services and support for both of my children at different times/stages. With my first I finally sought help by the 9th month. He was waking up several times a night to nurse and I was a walking zombie. Not only did she develop a comprehensive plan (which considered our family's needs/comfort level), and was a text/phone call away come time for implementation, coaching us through those difficult moments. For baby number 2, I was certain it would be a breeze. However, he was a bit colicky and had GI issues, so I requested Katie's help again and MUCH sooner. I'm please to say, my fussier baby is actually a much better sleeper than anyone in our family (mom & dad included!!). I'm certain this is because we established safe, and healthy sleep routines/schedules from the beginning. Also, Katie helped me via phone/email/text, as she was in Georgia for my first and Hawaii for my second! read more

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND KATIE! Our 8-month old son would go to bed around 8:30pm every night and wake up 4-6 times throughout the night. It was exhausting and he was often fussy from lack of sleep. We thought he might not be capable of sleep training but within 2 nights, he was sleeping 11-12 hours a night! He now goes to bed at 6:30pm every night for about 12 hours, and takes two good naps a day. We never thought this was possible but Katie made it so easy and was supportive throughout the process. It completely changed our lives and we are forever grateful for her guidance. :) read more

I really do love what we achieved with Katie . Surprising as it might seem to myself And to my precious wife , sleep training actually works . I'm no even joking , we are 10 days into the program and my hyper daughter which turned a year not to long ago is sleeping full nights !! Putting her to sleep now is a pleasant and comfortable , it's actually an experience that I'm looking forward to through out the day, Tho we didn't "adopt" the entire program due to the fact that we are on the move type of family , the night time sleep which is precious and important to the baby works like a charm for us , Katie is attentive and was available via text or call always . I am very pleased with the entire process and I am very thankful to my wife and babysitter for convincing me that it's the right choice and I can now sleep quite knowing that my dear one sleeps quite as well. read more

Well reading the amazing reviews I had too much hope for this sleep training considering I was desperately tired. Not until after I already paid I realized that this is very generic and I've literally seen all those methods and more on TikTok for free from sleep trainers giving out free advice to moms in need. If you Want to pay $495 to have someone tell you to allow your child to put themselves to sleep by hysterically crying then it's for you. We stopped the scheduled calls after the first week and Katie never called to check on how things ended. Extremely poor service and lack of caring. It's like she only cared about the money and not actually helping. That's after putting the full blame on me saying "I'm confusing my child with these different techniques" when I'm literally following HER advice. Again definitely regret paying for her service and wouldn't recommend her to anyone. And her "personalized" sleeping plan is generic and the only thing she does is change the name. The 5 star reviews are unreal to me because I received a 1 star service. read more

My family's life turned upside down when the 4 month sleep regression hit. Our baby would wake up every 1-3 hours throughout the night. We thought this phase would pass on its own but it didn't after 3 months. As a working full-time mom, I was exhausted and felt like I was burning my candles at both ends. A cousin referred me to Baby Sleep Well and retaining Katie was THE BEST DECISION I made. Katie came to my house, advised me how I should set up the nursery and gave me a recommended sleep schedule. I was speculative at first but I saw improvement in baby's sleep on the first night after applying Katie's recommendation. By the third night, my baby was sleeping continuously for 12 hours and taking two good naps during the day. The entire family is able to get a good night's sleep and our quality of life has improved dramatically. We are so grateful for Katie. She is knowledgeable, kind and supportive. I have no hesitation in recommending Katie. She is simply wonderful! read more

Katie was so helpful. As new parents you often have no clue what's normal and when to be concerned. The scientist in me so appreciated not knowing just what to do, but the why behind it. The knowledge was backed by some great encouragement and coaching. I was also impressed with Katie's skills to make the times we met by phone personable and enjoyable, not easy to do at all. Also liked the fact that it wasn't "one size fits all" with options to try many different things based on what we thought would work for us and our situation. read more

Baby Sleep Well - Sleep Specialists Near Me

I can't emphasize enough how much this program has helped my family! For months we struggled with sleep. She stopped napping, would wake up hourly at night & got as bad as sleeping only 6 out of a 24 hour period! I tried EVERYTHING on my own. Books, videos, talking to other moms & even 2 other sleep therapists. The other sleep therapists had all the right big points but lacked all the small details that are the KEY to this working. The biggest thing was the support. Baby sleep well gives you everything & then more. I had personalized support that I desperately needed. Calls, text messages, in the moment support! I felt entirely understood, supported and completely taken care of. Now my baby SLEEPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE NIGHT, NO MORE MORE MIDNIGHT FEEDINGS, AND COMPLETES ALL HER NAPS! The first night was tough but it was also the first time she slept through the night! And every day after that I saw more and more progress! It was the best investment I made. I'm so happy I decided to try it! I am forever grateful! I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend baby sleep well, it's absolutely life changing! If you're struggling, you know how bad the situation hurts and I promise you baby sleep well can help! Absolutely the best!! read more

I am a FTM and pediatrician and there are not enough words to express how much Katie has meant to my family and my mental health. I utilized all my medical knowledge and every trick my family & friends gave me and my daughter would only sleep when held, cried all the time, and woke several times a night for her first 4 months. After speaking with Katie I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders. She is a true expert in the sleep field and knows all the science to back up her methods. She truly works with what makes you comfortable and tailors the sleep plan that is right for you and your baby. After 2 nights my baby was sleeping in her crib and I would watch her on the monitor put herself back to sleep and my heart burst with joy! My baby was smiling and cooing through the day and I realized she just needed to sleep!! Katie was available to talk and message anytime I had a question or concern and we had a 10 hour time difference. Even internationally she is a god send! She successfully helped me nap train and supported me through every step of the way. By 6 months she naturally slept 12.5 hours without any awakenings!! She is now almost 12 months and she is a fantastic sleeper and the happiest baby. If I ever have a sleep question Katie is a just a phone call or message away. Do not hesitate to hire Katie with Baby Sleep Well! read more

Katie is AMAZING!!! Cannot recommend her enough. We went through many "plans" and interviewed many other sleep consultants before coming to her. She helped us with my 5 1/2 year old and my 2 1/2 year old - in my experience it was really difficult to find someone who had expertise in helping with sleep issues outside of the first 1-2 years. Her plan worked wonders- we saw changes in 2 weeks and at 1 month we were all sleeping all night - which i never dreamed possible! We are now 3 months out from starting with Katie and I only regret that we did not do this MUCH MUCH sooner! It has been life changing. read more

With a 7 month old who had been waking every 2 hours since birth I was finally just losing it! We hired Katie and she was amazing!!! She is incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and works with you and what you're comfortable with. She explains everything very clearly, gives you a plan and then you can talk to her on the phone. This is after she comes to your home and spends a few hours helping you to get organized and getting to know you. She is very flexible, and understanding, and tells you to use your intuition as well - I really appreciated that she wasn't black and white about things. Our baby is now taking 2 x 2 hour naps a day and waking once at night, and we are still training her to drop that night nap but even if she doesn't, things are WAY better for all of us! read more

I was a bit apprehensive about hiring a sleep consultant. It felt indulgent and I thought I just needed to figure this out by myself! My troubled sleeper was my second child - he was 4 months old and his sleep kept getting progressively worse. He was waking up every hour during the night and I was at my breaking point. So I contacted Baby Sleep Well. Best decision ever!! Katie is amazing. She is kind, patient, and so knowledgeable. I really can not recommend her enough. After 4 weeks of training, my son is down to 2 wake ups per night and I'm confident that he'll be sleeping through the night soon! He's taking healthy naps during the day and is finally on a great schedule. I would hire Katie again in a heart beat!!!! read more

Katie is truly passionate about what she does, and it shows. She went above and beyond to help my toddler get into a good sleep routine. Our household is much, much happier now that our kids are all sleeping. Thanks, Katie! read more

If baby doesn't sleep well, momma certainly doesn't sleep well. So if you've got issues getting your little one to go to sleep, sleeping through the night or establishing a schedule a sleep schedule call Katie. She's knowledgeable, super sweet and genuinely cares about you and your baby. read more

I live in Dubai and O can't remember how I connected with Katie but I instantly felt a strong connection with her. even though we were on a 14 hour time difference we made it work. Working with Baby Sleep Well was so seamless and words cannot describe what Katie did for me and my family. I had my life back as soon as my daughter was 5 months old. Katie was so patient and so amazing, she spent hours with me and my husband just explaining the science and concept behind sleep training. My daughter started sleeping thru the night within a few days. I had the whole evening to myself and my life back thanks to Katie. thank you Katie, for being you. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

After reading multiple books, blogs/articles my husband and I decided that it was time to get help. Our little one was almost 10 months and I was sleeping with her for naps (in the rocking chair)and night time sleep had multiple awakenings throughout the night. From the very first phone call, Katie made me feel like I was a friend and not just another customer. Her method of retrieving all the information needed from me, the planned phone calls, the detailed sleep plan and her consistent follow up via phone/text was exactly what I needed. There were moments that were hard for me but Katie gave me the encouragement and the confidence to follow through on the sleep plan and I have no regrets! My little one now sleeps 11-12hrs every night with some exceptions (sick, teething, nap was not so good due to family events, etc) but overall she has a very healthy sleep pattern for her age! I highly recommend Katie for any parent that is having trouble with their child's sleep. It is 100% worth it! read more

Just finished our sleep plan with Katie and we have to say this was WORTH EVERY PENNY! I kept waiting and waiting for my 17 month old toddler to sleep. I kept thinking, "She'll eventually sleep, this won't last forever." She had been waking up every 2-3 hours to nurse and be rocked to sleep almost her entire life. Two weeks before we started with Katie she was waking up EVERY HOUR and I had a breakdown in the middle of the night. My husband found Katie's website and we called her the next day. What we loved about her philosophy is that baby's know how to sleep. We, as parents, need to learn how to help them fall asleep and stay asleep on their own. She customizes the method that works best for you and your family. She sent us a sleep plan and within DAYS our daughter was sleeping 12 hours a night and taking a couple naps during the day. I FEEL LIKE A WHOLE NEW PERSON! Not a sleep-deprived crazy mess running on adrenaline just trying to survive! read more

IT IS WORTH THE MONEY. When you're ready to commit to a sleep plan, Katie is your girl. She took our family needs/wants into consideration when making our plan, coached us and gave us the reinforcement we needed along the way to implement it with fidelity. Our son went from screaming for 1-2 hours at bedtime and waking up multiple times a night, to minimal protesting (if any) and sleeping till the morning. Katie listened to us and really tried to make things work for us in the best way possible. 100% recommend. read more

We co-slept with our son until he was 3 years old. His sleep time was 9pm-6am and was not enough. He woke up when I woke up, which made it hard for me to do other things while he was sleeping. We did not know how to adjust that, but Katie did a great job helping us the adjustment, and now our son is sleeping from 7:30pm-6am in his bedroom on his own! We adjusted our bedtime routine with Katie's advise. The new routine is working great. Amazing. It took us about 2 weeks. She was very flexible and nice to work with! Thank you so much! read more

I cannot say enough about Katie! When I contacted her, my 2 year old was waking up 3 - 6 times a night. I was exhausted. Not only that, he was still drinking from a bottle to fall asleep. Because of his age and difficult temperament, I didn't think it was even possible to sleep train him. I am so glad I met Katie because she helped me with everything down to the smallest detail. She also has a way of explaining things that make it very easy to understand. After getting all of the details of my situation, Katie was able to provide me with a very impressive sleep plan, custom made for my son. The best thing about Katie is the support that she offers while you are following the sleep plan. I can honestly say that I wouldn't have been able to do it without her. In a week of working with Katie, my son now no longer drinks from a bottle and sleeps through the night! In the past he would wake up grouchy every morning because he was not getting enough sleep. Now, he wakes up refreshed and in a good mood. I would recommend Katie to anyone who has problems with their child sleeping. I only wish I had found her sooner! read more

Absolutely love Katie Shell and Baby Sleep Well! I started working with her when my baby was about 3 months old and naps had become a huge struggle. I was dealing with ppd and naps/lack of sleep were the biggest trigger for my anxiety and stress. Katie let me talk with her a few times before we even purchased a package, and after discussing my son for only about 5 minutes gave some immediate recommendations that we implemented that day with huge success. Turns out my son could fall asleep independently already, and I was misreading all of his cues! It took Katie only a couple of minutes on the phone to figure out this absolute game-changing thing about my son. Katie's recommendations and help have fixed numerous sleep issues for us - including fighting naps, 5:30 am wakeups - and gave us a plan to use when approaching my son's sleep. She was careful to work with us in a way that is tailored to our individual family...my husband is only comfortable with very limited crying, and she never pushed us to do more than we were comfortable with. Baby Sleep Well truly saved my sanity and had made for a happier family overall. Can't recommend working with her enough! read more

As a first time mama and a pediatrician, I will say that if you are looking for a sleep consultant, please look no further, Katie is incredible. My 17-month-old daughter had never slept through the night, waking up 2-4 times and having to be fed and bounced back to sleep. I was starting to worry that I had waited too late to sleep train her, but we were all becoming more and more exhausted. Finally, my husband and I decided that our current situation was unsustainable and we contacted Baby Sleep Well. From the very beginning, Katie was kind, professional and so very knowledgeable about baby and toddler sleep. She gave great analogies to help to describe normal sleep physiology and had practical and concrete answers to my and my husband's questions. She also has a very gentle and warm approach which was perfect for me, especially in my sleep deprived state. And she created a detailed sleep shaping plan for our daughter that was feasible and practical. Within 2 days of implementing the sleep shaping, our daughter was sleeping through the night without waking up and also napping consistently for 2 hours per day. She has now learned how to fall asleep on her own, which she had never done before, which makes bedtime so much more calm and efficient. I so appreciated Katie's evidence based and individualized approach, her appreciation of nature and her empowering attitude. If you are having sleep struggles, Katie and Baby Sleep Well is an amazing resource; can't recommend her more! read more

Let me just say, if you are on the fence about sleep training, JUST DO IT!! My son was never a good sleeper and we had gotten into the habit of giving him his bottle just so he would go back to sleep. After a year of dealing with sleepless nights and crying fits I knew I needed to get him off of his bottle and sleeping better but I had no clue where to start. I was really at the end of my rope. We tried so many different things and I read so many different articles/stories of how to get my child to sleep but nothing was working. I finally decided to sign up for Katie's services and it was life changing! She is so genuine and willing to help! My son is finally going to sleep on his own and he's actually sleeping through the night. I'm still amazed at how much better he is sleeping. The information I got from Katie is so helpful and I now feel confident going forward with my son's sleeping. I just wish I had reached out to her sooner! Thank you so much Katie for all your help! I cannot recommend her enough! read more

I wish I could give 100 stars!!!! Katie Shell has dramatically changed my life for the better and I could not be more thankful, I would highly recommend her to help with your child's sleep at any age. When I first hired Katie my first child was 10 months old and from night one was sleeping dramatically better!!! The best part of working with Katie is the knowledge she gives you of what is going on and how to handle it. She created a custom sleep plan based on my family's needs she presented me with multiple options of how to move forward and of course it's not all cry it out, the knowledge behind what you're doing is so helpful I could not have done it without her knowledge and support. I recently had another baby and at three and a half months I could see we were going down a challenging path once again, I didn't know how to get myself out of. So once again I made the best decision of my life for my family to hire Katie again to work with my 3 & a half month old and once again absolutely life-changing so incredibly thankful that I did. Now my 4 month old is taking two hour naps two to three times a day sleeping amazing at night on her own safely in her crib. I could not be more thankful for her help and knowledge and I could not recommend her more. read more

My wife and I reached out to Katie after a colleague of mine used Katie's services and had a great experience with getting their kiddo on a positive sleep path. We had the same experience! In just a few nights of following the sleeping schedule she drafted for ya our son was sleeping in much longer stints and in a couple weeks he was going to bed at 6:30 and staying in there till 7am. Best money we've ever spent! I would definitely recommend Katie and she is well known in my office as helping us get our kiddos to sleep! read more

Baby not sleeping well or through the night??? Do yourself and child a favor and Call Katie. :) In desperate need of sleep we found Katie, her website has all her info on different programs and her prices are worth every penny! We got the highest package which includes her coming to your home to see how baby's sleep environment looks like and ways that can help you prepare the room for a full nights sleep. We weren't sure the outcome of this program because our daughter is 1 years old, so active and curious we thought it was going to be torture. However!!!! Katie was so supportive through the steps and always answered my calls guiding me on our goal. Now, our daughter sleeps through the night 11 hours!!!!! I keep pinching myself to make sure that this is real. And it is!!! Our baby is so happy now ( sleeping baby = happy baby) and our family has such an awesome routine going on and most important EVERYONE is getting sleep :) Thank you so much Katie, we couldn't have done it without you. read more

My 7 month old had been a great sleeper that turned into an OK sleeper after the 4 month sleep regression. She was nursing 3/4x a night and only taking 30 minute naps. I decided to hire a sleep consultant bc my 1st baby was a terrible sleeper and I always gave excuses that "it would get better". After interviewing a couple of consultants, I chose Katie. She was very personable, didn't rush me through the consult call, and madd me genuinely feel she wanted to help me, it wasn't just her job. I also choose her bc I wanted to keep nursing my baby once during the night and she easily worked that into the plan. It's been 3 weeks and my baby takes much longer naps and sleeps through the night, waking once to feed. Katie is worth the money. I never thought I would have a baby who actually sleeps and consistently! Mel read more

Katie is amazing! Life changer since we worked together. Eight month old stopped sleeping through the night at 4.5 months (exactly when I returned from Mat leave). It started with one wake up which progressed to three at 7 months. That's when I got the reco to work with Katie and within the first night he slept 12 hours. Pretty amazing. Just had to tweak his schedule and now he is a wonderful sleeper and we are so grateful. read more
