I would genuinely recommend Lorraine to anyone! We were experiencing a major sleep regression with our six month old and were beyond exhausted when we found her. Lorraine agreed to work with us on a tight timeline before my husband went back to work. To our surprise, our baby was able to sleep for 12 hours on the very first night of the program! Since then, we've been fine tuning his naps and experimenting with napping on the go, all while getting our rest and sanity back. On top of that, Lorraine is the kindest person. She coached us throughout the entire process, celebrated our wins, and was so available when we needed support or had a sleep emergency in real time. I can't emphasize just how valuable this was for two first time parents who were desperate for help. We couldn't be happier or more grateful! read more

Lorraine was so so wonderful to work with! She helped us sleep train our 16 month old toddler (we held out for a long time!) and we have no doubt we'll soon use her for our newborn! She was flexible with when we felt ready to start, was extremely kind in our interactions, was very understanding of our fears and carefully coached us through the tough first few nights. Grateful for her help and would recommend her a 1000%! read more

Lorraine is hands down THE BEST! Helped us with 2 kids over 3 years. It's almost like I look forward to sleep issues because then we get to work with Lorraine she's awesome. So much support, knowledge and overall empathy. read more

Lorraine is a godsend!!! I am a second time mom with a 4 month, desperate for sleep as I realized my difficulties (shortness with our toddler, getting angry/building resentment towards my husband, ability for presence, etc) was due to my lack of consolidated sleep. Lorraine was able to take an intake call with me the next day and provided a thorough, well thought out and personalized sleep plan within 2 days! We started immediately and by the 4th night saw significant improvement. As a second time mom and family doc, I have read all of the sleep training books and heard even more recommendations. Knowing how and when to implement as well as sticking to a plan is way easier said than done. What I realize is I needed her expert guidance and personalized recommendations to provide the education and empowerment to start to see what our infant could do. And boy were we surprised! Lorraine uses all the latest literature to craft a individualized plan that works for you and your situation. The real-time, daily feedback and unlimited access to ask in-the-moment questions provide the ongoing support and guidance for success. I am truly amazed at what we are able to accomplish with her program!! The service is not inexpensive. I will say though that compared to a night doula, and the fact that you cannot put a price on sanity or the ability to truly enjoy this limited period of your little one's life, it is totally worth the investment 10x's over, if you can afford it. I am recommending her to all my family and friends and posting this review to hopefully help anyone else desperate for sleep, because lord knows it makes ALL the difference. read more

Our 2.75 year old champion sleeper started randomly taking 2+ hours to go to sleep with delay tactics and hysterics and/or waking up at 5-6am complaining of darkness or "scary dreams." She also went from super calm and easygoing to very fussy and cranky most days. It took us about three weeks to realize my going back to the office and no longer working from home/being able to see her in the morning before preschool was likely affecting her. We got Lorraine's contact info from a friend and we are so, so, so glad we decided to work with her. Our initial Zoom call was so reassuring and with no pressure - Lorraine let us know we had likely hit a bump in the road and that things could get back on track with a 1-week package of unlimited texting/Trello support. I LOVED that she was not trying to upsell or lock us in immediately, and she even gave us great tips on that initial call. On the very first night working with her (a Saturday night), Lorraine was texting with us for 2+ HOURS when our daughter was giving us the runaround at bedtime. We experimented with Lorraine's suggestions and finally laying down the law (with Lorraine's encouragement because we were feeling guilty) got our daughter to calm down and realize we weren't budging on the rules and she finally fell asleep after 10pm. I am not kidding when we saw an IMMEDIATE change in our daughter the next morning, no longer cranky and saying "no" to everything, it's like she just needed us to show her that we were in charge and rules needed to be followed. Throughout the week, Lorraine took the initiative and checked in on us even on good nights. We hit a small bump towards the end of our week with her and she got us through it. Lorraine is such a caring, knowledgeable, and PATIENT woman. If you think sleepless nights are your new normal, they are not - Lorraine will listen and tailor a plan to your family/child and will give you your sanity back!! read more

Lifesaver! I was going out of my mind with my three kids (6, 4, and 2 1/2). The 2 1/2 year old was waking up around 4:30 most mornings and it was killing my time to do work, exercise, and most of all, my sanity. Lorainne helped me by asking about our current routine, suggesting a few very small changes, and helping me to track changes in behavior. The tricky thing was that all of my kids sleep in close proximity (2 and 4 year old share a room), so she was able to help me modify all of their behaviors. We kept in touch over the phone and with the app that she uses and it was so helpful! Within a few days, things improved a lot and now, all of my kids are sleeping till at least 6:30 every morning! I feel like I can breathe again and I am gaining back some sense of self. The whole family is happier and I am forever grateful to Lorraine for helping my kids figure out how to sleep again! read more

You have made such a profound impact on our life and we will forever be grateful for your support and the wisdom you imparted on us in regards to correcting our little one's sleep habits. When I reached out to you for help, I was trying to balance being a first time mom, newly pregnant and working a full-time demanding job. This would be a lot for anyone to manage AND then layering on 18 months of sleep deprivation to the mix = a recipe for disaster. You saved me! And I've noticed that our little one is so much happier now too. I can't thank you enough for teaching us how to sleep train. I really needed someone to validate that it was okay to leave him in his crib and let him cry it out. You gave me the confidence to tackle something that previously was so daunting. I'm writing this now happy, recharged and well rested. Our LO is sleeping through the night and averaging 10-12 hours! He's also doing great with his one nap a day. We put him into his crib fully awake and he now waves bye to us when we close the door and lays there, happily in his crib, for a little while with his stuffed animal before peacefully drifting off to sleep. I just never even thought the day would come. This was the best decision and I will forever be appreciative of your help! read more

At 5 months old, our son was still waking 4-5x per night wanting to be fed - we were barely functioning during the day! Within 3 days of working with Lorraine, Austin was sleeping 12 - 13 hours overnight. He established a nap schedule, and has gradually become a champion napped over the course of two weeks. We could not be more happy, and the whole family is benefitting because of it. Thank you Lorraine! read more

When I first connected with Lorraine I was 6.5 months pregnant and we had been having sleep issues with our 2 year old for months and with a baby coming we knew we needed to get it under control. Fast forward to less than 2 weeks from delivery I was able to reconnect with Lorraine and hire her ASAP. Knowing we only had about 10 days we were worried that we wouldn't be able to make any headway with our son before we welcomed the new baby into our family. Our son would take 1-2 hours to fall asleep at bedtime in his own bed, needed us to lay with him, and would wake up multiple times a night which led to co-sleeping in our bed and refused to let anyone but mom put him to sleep and would even get violent when anyone else tried. No one was getting any sleep and we were beginning to panic how this would work with a toddler who doesn't sleep and a newborn. Lorraine not only changed our lives as a family but she sprung straight into action since we were on limited time, even rushing some content and the sleep plan for us to follow. We committed to following the plan (no matter what) and fixing our sons sleep. The first few nights were pretty rough for us but Lorraine walked us through every detail and exactly how we should handle each curve ball our son threw at us. She was patient, calm and so encouraging every day. She affirmed that we could do it and stay strong while providing real time feedback. Flash forward less than 2 full weeks later our son is going to bed on his own and sleeping fully through the night. We honestly never thought this was possible. We were able to go to the hospital and not worry about him staying with my mom, and now can finally put him to bed at a decent hour and get some time to ourselves to watch tv, hang out and have adult conversation. Lorraine changed our lives and we are forever grateful for her guidance and support during this transitional time in our life. I recommend Lorraine to every mom I know and know that she can fix any sleep issue with any child! read more

Lorraine is a godsend. After being pregnant during covid my toddler completely went off the rails with his sleeping, once I gave birth too much damage had been done to bring him back. I was in every Facebook group in existence to try and get some help and Lorraine was constantly being suggested as a savior. Our son was about 22 months when we started with Lorraine and we had a lot of work to do. She was amazing and trained us into giving our son the tools we all needed to get him to be a great sleeper. He was a big project but Lorraine never made us feel helpless. It's been 6 months since she's helped us and whenever I feel we may be getting off track I text her and she snaps us right back into it. Her plan is flexible and reasonable all while leaving your child happy and healthy. Tonight while I put my now 26 month old in his crib for bed and say good night he doesn't let me leave without a hug and a kiss and telling me he loves me and then says "see you tomorrow"! what used to take 2 hours of putting him to bed now takes 3 minutes. Lorraine is worth it and in comparison is very reasonable priced. Book her now you won't regret it. read more

Our little one was such a great sleeper we didn't think we would go through a sleep regression.. but we did! Lorraine helped to plan the sleep training strategy we used, planned our daughters wake / nap schedule, stayed with us step by step as we tried out upmost not to pick our crying daughter up. We naively started our training 2 days before New Years Day (!), Lorraine really went out of her way to support us even with the holiday craziness. We are very grateful for her guidance and would recommend Lorraine a million times over! read more

Lorraine you are an angel! My husband and I have been struggling for weeks with getting a sleep routine down for our 2yo. She was a great sleeper and shelter in place totally threw her off. Having Lorraine's guidance has given us hope again! Only on Day 3 and I'm super optimistic with Lorraine being there for us with every nap time, bedtime via email, text and phone. I had no idea I would be given this amount of support, attention, and communication. I love how she changes the plan based on what works for us parents. It isn't a cookie cutter plan and she tailors it to what we're comfortable with. Thank you so so much! read more

Lorainne was amazing to work with. After one consultation, our toddler was sleeping through the night. She gave us lots of tips and tools to use to get our 2.5 year old sleeping on his own. Our toddler was pretty good at sleeping, but he would wake up at least 1-2 times per night asking to be re-tucked into bed. After teaching him how to tuck himself in, and some tough love, he learned to do it on his own. The best part of working with Lorainne was the text message support each night to provide real-time tips when our toddler was melting down and crying at the door to his room. I know she can't be available in real-time for everyone and for every night, but when it worked out it was really helpful. We only really needed to work with her for 1 week. But we stayed for 2 weeks just in case there was a relapse. We are very happy with her work and would recommend her to anyone who wants help putting there little one down and making sure they stay down throughout the night. This support is priceless! read more

I was lucky enough to connect with Lorraine prior to my delivery- she was very responsive to all of my questions, supportive and helpful in my research as I navigated labor, delivery and what life would be like at home. Once I returned home, she helped me with everything and anything- she set up the crib and taught me how to use my baby carrier- she researched the best bottle warmer and was an amazing source of emotional support when I was unsure if I was "doing it right"- she addressed my worries and assured me throughout the post partim period. She empowered me and has been a constant source of support. She has a way of putting people at ease and her presence is comforting. She was amazing at nurturing this new mom and her help was definitely key in getting me off to a great start with bringing home my first baby. read more

Lorraine is lovely, accessible in her knowledge and wonderful to work with- under her guidance she helped our daughter sleep through the night after being a 6 times a night waker! As second time parents it was infinitely helpful to check in with her on our path to better sleep- her intuition and flexibility in offering different solutions really gave us the motivation and confidence to stick to a clear path, and communicate better with our now toddler, so our entire family could sleep better. We are so so grateful and would highly recommend her services and work with her again with no hesitation! read more

Serene Sleep Solutions "Mom's R&R" service is worth every penny. I interviewed a half dozen sleep consultants and Lorraine was the obvious choice based on her philosophy, communication, and package details. We almost instantly received a truly customized sleep plan for our baby based on the intake notes we provided. Within days, my husband and I went from 100% contact naps to independent crib sleep for naps. Lorraine was ridiculous accessible throughout the process and always gave clear advice. Her ability to ebb and flow with the changes of our baby spoke to her skill and experience in infant sleep. We are very thrilled with the outcome of Lorraine's support and recommend her to anyone seeking change with their child's sleep. read more

Lorraine was the most incredible source of guidance and support for our daughter, Emma. She helped put Emma on a nap schedule, bedtime schedule, drop a nap and worked on routines with us. She navigated us through the 4 month regression and all of the ups and downs that come with that. Our daughter now takes 3 consistent naps a day and sleeps the night, every night! I can't thank her enough for the peace and rest she has given our family! read more

In just a phone call, Lorraine helped me create a plan for helping my 3-year-old son stay in his room at night. She was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and so easy to work with! I highly recommend Lorraine's services. read more

Lorraine is incredibly caring AND skilled--we have loved working with her for our three boys. We initially worked with her to help our two toddler boys ages 3 and 2, to improve their ability to fall asleep independently and stay in their room in prep for baby three; also to help teach our 2 year old to nap again and fall asleep independently. We also spent two weeks working with her to help our 5 month baby sleep through the night---he's now sleeping 12 hours per night with NO wakes, and falls asleep independently every night and for his 3 naps. Before that we used her newborn package to lay foundational steps from day 1 bringing baby home. The sleep training process is not linear and issues arise, and Lorraine is a problem solver and so cares about your values as parents, so she works with you to dig into the issues and figure out what's going on with your feedback. She was extraordinarily patient in answering my continued questions and really persevered through the end until we got to a great place with sleep. Honestly for a long time I didn't think sleep consultants could actually help bring results because I didn't often meet parents who spoke of tangible results. My doctor had recommended we consider getting a sleep consultant after having sleep issues with our first two kids. It is worth every penny working with Lorraine. read more

Lorraine is SO dedicated to her clients. Our little man was quite a puzzle and she bent over backyards trying to help us problem solve and trouble shoot our sleep issues. She is warm, understanding, knowledgeable and does a great job explaining her reasoning behind each shift we were making. Seriously, she is so committed to the families she works with, it was humbling. read more

Lorraine is very knowledgeable about sleep for infants and toddlers. She listens to your needs and personalizes the sleep plan. I have used online sleep sites and their personalized plans aren't personal at all. She truly cares about her clients and will follow up to make sure her plan is working for your family. I would highly recommend her if you are a first time parent or just need some help as a more seasoned parent. read more

We never considered sleep training, until I spoke with Lorraine. She listened as I explained what we were dealing with. She gave me a few helpful tips to start off and then after much determination we decided to go forward with the training. She gave us a precise plan for both my boys and we followed her every tip. Along the way she was a great support and answered every question and listened to every concern we had. Within 3 days my oldest was doing so much better and started working on my youngest. We have seen much improvement with both of them! It was the best decision we have made to sleep train. Overall Lorraine is AMAZING. She's kind, has patience, and is considerate to our needs and wants. As I mentioned before she was also a great support system for myself considering I didn't have much of it through family. And she didn't even know me. I would ten times or more recommend her to anyone who is looking to sleep train. You will NOT regret it. read more
