Hiii, I’m Valerie!

I’m a mama to two perfect girls, bonus mama to an amazing boy, and wife to the most incredible man. We’ve been together for 11 years, and life is full, chaotic, and absolutely amazing.

Before diving into sleep consulting, I spent over 10 years as a respiratory therapist, and I still work part-time in a hospital alongside my sleep consulting business. Oh, and did I mention we have four cats? Yeah, our house is never quiet!!

My journey into sleep consulting started in 2020, in those long, lonely hours of pacing the floor, holding my baby girl because that was the only way she’d sleep. I was barely functioning, running on fumes, and wondering if I’d ever feel like myself again. I was struggling with PPA and PPD and the sleep deprivation made everything so. much. worse.

A dear friend gently asked if I’d looked into sleep training when I was desperately begging her for advice. That sent me down a rabbit hole of research, books, courses, articles, anything I could get my hands on. But honestly?!! I was pretty nervous. The internet is incredibly loud about sleep training, and everyone has an opinion. There are so so many misconceptions about what it really is and how it works!!

I decided to try it anyway, and I’m so thankful I did because it CHANGED EVERYTHING!!  My sweet girl started sleeping 11-12 hours a night (and waking HAPPY), and she’s been a rockstar sleeper ever since. So has my second-born, who is now two years old!!

But it wasn’t just about their sleep. I found the version of myself that I thought I’d lost in sleep deprivation. My marriage got stronger. I finally had the energy to enjoy my baby in a way that I was struggling with before because I was SO exhausted.

That’s why I do what I do!!!
I know what it feels like to be drowning in sleep deprivation. I’ve been exactly where you are, and I know how amazing it is to be on the other side. That’s why I’m obsessed with helping mamas have the same transformation I did!
A few personal things about me❤

  • My favorite foods are lumpia and ice cream (NOT together)
  • You can find me and my hubby playing PC games together most nights after the girls go to bed. Yes, we have an entire room dedicated to video games LOL.
