From Passion to Profession
I was a grade 2 teacher before doing sleep consulting. Sleep training truly saved me. It gave me back my strength, my joy, and allowed me to enjoy motherhood finally.
I became fascinated by infant sleep—obsessively reading, learning, and experimenting until things finally clicked for our family.
I then decided to get my certification as I had already begun to help some friends and family with their children's sleep. After finishing my certification, I had everything up and running in terms of my website. I was also well-versed with sleep training support groups and I quickly built up a strong referral base. My certification gave me the foundation I needed to even understand the workflow of being a sleep consultant.
“Rested families are thriving families—helping you get there is my greatest joy. It's like a puzzle that I have to crack and can’t rest until I do.”

Lessons from the journey from practitioner to business owner:
- Your role is to support struggling parents who need to feel seen and heard.
- Engagement and connection are everything.
- Learn how to manage your finances, workflow, and visibility.
- Social media and SEO are your allies—don't underestimate them.
- Don't try to be the right fit for everyone if it means losing what makes you unique.
Sleep training is a deeply personal choice. Parenting today can feel overwhelming because we're surrounded by so much information. One choice doesn't make another wrong—it's about what's right and sustainable for your own situation.
The Value of Certification
Professional training builds confidence, teaches practical skills, and helps earn the trust of families looking for expert guidance. Teresa used her certification to start a business that has already supported over 350 families, and continues to grow.
