  • "Katie is amazing so full of knowledge and truly listens. She helped us feel seen and supported in a space that’s so full of judgement from the world, she was a calming and peaceful presence! I wish I found her earlier in our journey! Every mom should reach out to her she has so many tips and tricks that helped out baby get more restful sleep while not compromising our goals and dreams around sleep. I would 100% recommend her! Truly the best!"

    - Brittany

  • "We did a sleep consult with Katie for our 15 month old. We were struggling with knowing what about her sleep habits was "normal" and what could be indicative of underlying issues (especially related to gut health / dairy intolerance / general discomfort). Katie was very knowledgeable and quelled many of our fears while also giving us practical (actionable!) things to try in the coming weeks and months. We absolutely loved working with Katie!!!"

    - Laura

  • "It was such a joy to work with Sleepy Starts when my nine month old was having difficult sleep patterns and battling tension. Katie is a wealth of knowledge and helped me figure out not only how to make sleep easier for our personal household and routines but the underlying root causes of the issues and why sleep was difficult in the first place. Katie looks at and addresses the whole picture when it comes to sleep. I recommend Katie to literally every single person I know with a baby. She is genuinely one of the smartest people l've ever met. She's also certified in several areas that I'm sure will help you and your little one, even outside of sleep!!"
