Are you DONE spending your evenings trying to get your kiddo to JUST GO TO BED? Say no more! I get it - and here to help!
Hi, I'm Aly - Wife and Mom in Middle TN!
BOY, OH BOY! As a mom, I know how important SLEEP is! Trust me, I've been there! Those never ending sleepless nights are no joke!
As a sleep coach, I help EXHAUSTED parents work through those BIG toddler emotions so that, together, we can find a way to make bedtime FUN, while getting sleep in a better place.
I also am a huge book nerd with a love for reading! It's been a dream come true becoming a published children's book author. When I wrote Bedtime Hearts I wanted to create a fun book about bedtime for kids with the overall message being SLEEP IS GOOD FOR OUR BODIES!
My Journey
When I was pregnant with our second baby, I felt this pull to do something more. I was working full time and wanted more time with my kids, knowing they wouldn't be so little for long. What came up for me, was sleep coaching.
You see, I knew I wanted to help moms through a time that can feel really lonely or isolating (aka motherhood) and we had worked with a sleep consultant with our first. Working with her felt like MAGIC and made me realize how precious (and much needed) sleep is!
So, that's what I did. I buckled down and became a Certified Sleep Consultant through the Centers of Pediatric Sleep Management and graduated a few days before our youngest was born. I started working with families right away and slowly began building my sleep coaching business.
Over time, I realized that toddlers are sort of my JAM! I started noticing how EXCITED I would get when working with this age group - and started bringing more FUN into the mix. So, if you're looking for a fun, quirky toddler sleep coach that can get your child EXCITED about bedtime, well... that's me!
For a while, I focused on growing my business which came with a long list of goals and action items, but if I'm being honest I still felt a little stuck. I shifted gears a little and started focusing more on WHAT LIGHTS ME UP instead of what I "should" be doing.
This pathway led me to letting go of limiting beliefs, and believing in myself so I could finally chase a long ago buried dream. When I started writing Bedtime Hearts, my first children's book, it was as if everything clicked into place. It felt BIG and exciting! I knew, this was what I was supposed to do! The rest is history!
