My name is Melanie and I'm a wife, mama to two amazing children and a pediatric sleep consultant.  I'm originally from Cape Breton, moved to Alberta with my husband and made a beautiful life for ourselves for ten years, and now we are back in Cape Breton to raise our family. Since becoming a mother I've been constantly searching for knowledge and how to better myself as a parent. I'm a huge advocate in having support systems in your life to help you through raising children. 

 

My interest in sleep training started after my daughter was born and like many of you, I began my deep dive on google to figure out how to get sleep back in my life. I’ve heard of different methods of sleep training from friends but associated it immediately with letting your baby cry themselves to sleep, which I just couldn’t do. I found a technique that I tweaked a bit, and it took a few nights and I started seeing results. I was hooked. Since then, I’ve been fascinated with the science behind baby sleep habits. As a mom of two I understand deeply how lack of sleep can have a negative effect in so many areas in our life. Sleep deprivation can trigger post partum depression & anxiety, impact the relationship with your spouse, and your ability to parent. The concept of being able to help families overcome these struggles is something I’ve dreamed of.
