With Kendra's help, our 8 month old baby started sleeping 10-12 hours through the night, falling asleep independently, and finally connecting his sleep cycles during nap time. For a while, we considered doing it on our own but were overwhelmed by all the information out there. We wanted a customized plan for our son and our unique circumstances, and we wanted to do it right from the beginning to make the process as quick and painless as possible. And that it was! He started sleeping through the night on night 1. I don't think that would have happened if we relied on our own Internet research, and we would have been questioning ourselves every step of the way. We also appreciated Kendra's gentle approach. We didn't want our son to have to "cry it out". She was realistic in telling us that there would be SOME tears, but she gave us a plan that allowed us to be in the room with him, supporting and comforting him periodically. Here's what you can expect: - 15 min free discovery call - Parents complete a questionnaire about the baby's current schedule, sleep, eating, etc - 90 min call where she goes over a customized plan based on the questionnaire (extremely detailed) - Decide when you want your 2 week period to begin - 4 follow up calls, one the day after sleep training starts - During the 2 week period, you can reach out to her anytime on Voxer (a messaging app) and email We had a great experience! She made a potentially very scary and stressful process relatively easy. Our lives have totally changed. Sleep is a game changer. No more middle of the night wake ups, and no more holding baby to sleep (and risky crib transfers). Thank you Kendra! read more

Just do it, it's life changing. This is one of the best decisions I made as a parent, for our whole household. Our baby is sleeping 11 hours at night with no wake-ups, with 3 hours of naps with clockwork consistent timing. I truly believed our son was just on the very low end of the sleep needs range. At 10 months old, he was still going to bed late, waking 2-4 times a night, and waking up early in the morning. We read a lot online about sleep routines and optimization of the sleep environment. We tried non-stimulating activities before bedtime. We tried "drowsy but awake". Nothing made an appreciable difference. It felt like we'd tried everything and exhausted online resources. We were in desperate need of consistent and continuous sleep. Admittedly, I previously felt pressured by a lot of the recent social media posts saying sleep training is harmful and unnatural. These claims are NOT backed by science by the way. I was wary that sleep training would be synonymous with "cry it out" and did not want my baby to feel abandoned. Thankfully, Kendra provided precise and gentle sleep training instruction. There were some tears, but we were in the room with him to provide comfort as we both learned a new skill together. The differentiators were (i) having a very detailed plan that I could follow, not just general concepts, (ii) receiving benchmarks of how long he would take to go down and how long certain phases would last, and (iii) having a resource to ask questions to as bespoke situations arose. Kendra's plan and support has given me the confidence to handle nighttime sleep and naps like a pro. She has given me back crucial nighttime sleep, so I can continue to work to my fullest potential and give tons of energy to my son during playtime. She's taken away the fear of "solo parenting" while my husband is away on travel for work. read more

We reached out to Kendra for help after our 8 month old was not sleeping through the night and we were just exhausted. Kendra was able to answer all of our questions and offered great support and advice throughout the two weeks we worked with her. After a few days in we finally had our first night of no wake ups! I would definitely recommend her for anyone needing help getting their baby to sleep!! read more

Our baby is co-rooming with us and we couldn't find as many ideas/solutions for successful sleeping in that circumstance from books or the pediatrician so we wanted a sleep specialist who could help us navigate our particular sleeping arrangement. We were having lots of middle of the night wake ups and having to walk the baby to sleep for night time and naps. Kendra quickly got to know the sleep situation for us and the baby, and provided a really helpful and customized plan for us. Kendra provides a wonderful combination of knowledge and empathy that made us feel very good about the process, and it led to excellent results. Our baby is sleeping soundly through the night in ways I just didn't think was possible! It's really incredible for the baby who is getting more sleep, and of course for us parents who can get more sleep and have more energy during the day. I found Kendra by reading these great reviews, and I am excited to have my own personal testimony to add. If your baby is having a challenging time with sleep, as so many do, do not hesitate to contact Kendra! read more

My previously sleep trained 2 year old daughter went through a terrible sleep regression where we had a hard time getting her to fall/stay asleep, never knew when she would sleep, would not sleep in her crib and sometimes we would even be up for 24 hours with her. Kendra was a LIFE SAVER and we still recommend her to everyone we speak to. She was kind, thorough and really took the time to listen to our concerns and support us. Within a matter of days, our daughter was back to sleeping on a regular schedule, in her crib, and through the night for 11-12 hours. We finally have our evenings back and we know we couldn't do it without Kendra's help. If you're considering sleep consultant services from her, please just do it! You will NOT regret it! Months later and we think about how much she has helped changed our lives everyday. read more

I can't properly express the amount of gratitude I have for Kendra and the success of her sleep training approach. Having spent the past 13 months sleep-deprived from on-demand night nursing my now 22 month old daughter Maddie, Kendra has been quite the life-changer for our family. After implementing a modified Ferber approach when Maddie was 4 months old, my husband and I realized that the approach wouldn't work this time around. This is where Kendra came in. She offered us a more gentle approach that was tailored to our daughter's personality and worked with us to tweak it as needed. My husband and I finally get to regularly spend our evenings together. I am regularly getting 8 hours of sleep. Maddie is learning how to self-regulate her emotions without relying on me as a human pacifier. And it only took two weeks! read more

We were committed to sleep training from the beginning, although we knew that it would be emotionally grating. There is plenty of information out there about how to go about sleep training your baby, but if you're like us and you would feel reassured by the support provided by an expert, we can whole-heartedly recommend Kendra. She was reliable, professional, and had great availability to answer questions as they arose. Because sleep training can feel emotionally difficult, it was very helpful to have clear rules to follow, and an emphasis on consistency as a foundation. At the end of the process, we both feel like it was well worth the hard work. Our almost 5-month-old now sleeps 12 hours straight with just one wakeup to feed, and puts herself down for naps and at bedtime. It's wonderful to sleep again! read more

Kendra helped us get our lives back! We thought we knew what we were doing since this is our second child. But our 17 month old would not sleep consistently through the night and was having night wakings on a regular basis where she would be up for over 2 hours in the middle of the night. Finally we could not take it any longer and reached out to Kendra for help. Kendra took the time to listen to our personal situation and create a plan that would work for us. I have to admit that I was skeptical it would work since I thought we tried everything and our daughter has a very strong personality. But with Kendra's help, we stayed consistent and it made all of the difference. Our daughter now goes to bed without crying, sleeps through the night, wakes up after 7am and takes her naps on time. The amount of stress this has relieved for us cannot be explained. Kendra was also very organized, responsive and easy to talk to. We can't thank Kendra enough! If your child is not sleeping well, I highly recommend reaching out to Kendra. My only regret is that we did not hire her sooner! read more

We had an amazing experience using Kendra to help us with our 1-year-old's sleep. In just 2 weeks, our daughter went from being nursed to sleep and waking up 2-4 times a night, to falling asleep independently and sleeping through the night for 11-12 hours! We are so thankful for Kendra's help and highly recommend her services. read more

Our sleep trained 4 year old suddenly started developing sleep habits this past summer after a period of sickness. He would wake up multiple times during the night and walk into our room, leaving us and him tired for the day. We tried lots of things on our own but we just could not convince him to stay in bed all night. In came Kendra, who met with us and discussed our sleep goals and how to implement them. Kendra also made the sleep program for our son exciting by talking to him directly. He was so excited to receive and send messages from "Sleep Lady" that it motivated him to sleep thru the night. A few months later he still asks about Sleep Lady :)Kendra helped us get our sanity back! She also helped us build a sleep and bedtime structure we use for both kids that has helped us SOO much! Both kids sleep about 11 hrs a day and are comfortable staying in bed till it's time to wake up. It feels so good to get a full nights rest! read more

You can't go wrong using the Kendra, the Sleepytime Consultant! She has positively and lastingly impacted our lives and our baby's. Her professionalism, care, and skills are top-notch, and we recommend her to anyone. Our colic/ reflux baby went from sleeping 4 hours a night to now sleeping 11+ hours a night with two regular naps a day. (Feel free to reach out to me if you want to chat; we started with Kendra when our baby was 5+ months old) More Details: My husband and I are first time parents. We had heard about sleep coaching, but thought we could do it on our own with online resources and intuition. (To be honest, we probably were just nervous about how the baby would fair with sleep training.) We tried for one month on our own with no success. Not knowing how to move the baby to the crib, navigate teething, rolling, etc, we reached out to a couple consultants. We chose Kendra because she was sincere, patient and knowledgeable with our questions, and followed up with us. She made sure we were comfortable with the approach and alleviated our nervousness about the first couple nights of sleep training. If you want someone who will listen, give you a personalized plan that you can implement, and make sure you have success, use the Sleepytime Consultant! Thank you Kendra for helping us give our baby the skill of sleep!! read more

My husband and I found ourselves in a 6 month cycle where my 2 year old son Charlie couldn't fall asleep without one of us in his bedroom when it was time to sleep. From start to finish our bedtime 'routine', or lack there of, was taking hours and causing frustration for everyone. Tired mom, tired dad and tired little boy was not fun at all. When I reached out to Kendra, she thoroughly assessed our nightly routine, as well as many other factors. She basically had us flip our routine upside down and gradually wean ourselves out of Charlie's room. Within days of starting Kendra's customized sleep training, our son was falling asleep independently without protesting and sleeping through the night, for a consistent 11-12 hours. The gift of sleep is priceless, and Kendra helped us get that back. We can't thank her enough! read more

Our 1-year-old daughter didn't want to sleep in her crib anymore and we also wanted to transition her to her own room. She also wasn't napping during the day unless she was sleeping on our chest. Kendra created a sleep plan for our daughter that we were able to transition our daughter to sleep in her crib in her own room during the night and during naps. Our daughter is getting much more restful sleep now with an earlier bedtime and two naps a day. We are very grateful to Kendra and would highly recommend her. read more

Kendra helped us with our six-month-old son, who was waking up every few hours during the night and napping inconsistently. She put together a plan that was successful in getting our son to sleep through the night immediately, and worked with us to adjust the plan as we dealt with the more difficult challenge of getting him to nap consistently. Kendra was professional and put together a thorough plan that gave us confidence in handling any issues that arise with sleep, and we are now much more well-rested parents! read more

Our 5 month old daughter WOULD NOT SLEEP. My wife and I spent at least 4 hours a day bouncing and shushing her to sleep. After 4 months my wife said we needed professional help. I have to admit that I was skeptical. How could a stranger come to our house and teach her to sleep after all we had been through for months?! And then we met Kendra....Kendra came to our home and was 100% cool and professional. In less than a week of her methods, we could put our daughter down in her crib AWAKE, and she would be ASLEEP on her own in less than 5 minutes with ZERO crying. Kendra came up with a customized sleep plan for our daughter. She was with us every step of the way, answering all of out questions, morning and night. It has been two weeks since we saw Kendra and our baby is still falling asleep independently (nights and naps). As a result of the sleep, we have a totally new baby. She is much less fussy, eats better and is meeting milestones faster. Before Kendra, we dreaded bedtime, and now we love it! Like I said, I was the skeptical father - now here I am giving a 5 star review, and I'd leave more stars if I could! Thank you Kendra!!! (writing this review since I now have free time!!!) read more

Kendra is truly a baby whisperer! She was able to immediately figure out what our sleep issues were, and in a matter of a few days my baby learned how to put herself down to sleep on her own! I was very impressed with Kendra's response time to emails, and she was so personable that this sleep training process was much easier than I expected. I can't recommend The Sleepytime Consultant enough...she was worth every penny! read more

Kendra literally saved our life! It was taking us 2 hours to get her to sleep at night (rocking her mostly) and then she was waking up in the middle of the night for 2 hours! I was even laying on a crib mattress next to her crib at night. Our daughter was cranky the next day from not getting enough sleep...and so was I. Something had to be done. I had a consultation with Kendra and was sold. She was sweet, understanding and confident she could help. I had read about her method but never could get it to stick on my own. After a few nights of protest she was getting the hang of it and after just 2 weeks we had a solid routine and I was kissing her and putting her in crib and walking out....and NO more night wake ups!!! Everyone NEEDS sleep and if you are in need of help do not hesitate and contact Kendra!!!! We cannot thank her enough..... read more

Kendra was a real pleasure to work with! At four months old, our infant decided that he wasn't going to sleep in the Snoo any more. For the next two months, I would nurse him to sleep and have him sleep on my chest at bedtime and in the crib at naptime. Between the five and six month mark he just stopped napping in the crib and sleeping on me became especially difficult because he was getting much bigger. Both my husband and I knew this was not sustainable. We reached out to Kendra aka the Sleepytime consultant and she was able to put us on a wonderful sleep plan that got our 6-month old son sleeping 11 to 12 hours straight through the night from night one. It felt miraculous! She was always available and ready to address any questions we had. I wish we could use her for all of the challenges that the developmental milestones have presented. She has really taught us the fundamentals and we know that we can survive (!) equipped with the tools she's provided. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who struggling with their infant's sleep. There's hope! read more

Kendra is a lifesaver! My husband and I hired her to help us with our then six-month-old, Arya, who was refusing to nap in her crib at least 60% of the time, and who needed to be rocked fast asleep before being oh-so-carefully transferred to the crib for both naps and bedtime. Within just a few days, Kendra had Arya putting herself to sleep with minimal protest. After no more than a week, she was going to sleep with no protest at all, save the occasional two second whimper when she was first put down! It was an ENORMOUS relief to be able to put Arya down (still awake) and walk out of her room knowing that (1) she had the skills to put herself to sleep and (2) she did not feel abandoned or distressed. Kendra also helped us drop Arya's last remaining night feed (after clearing it with our pediatrician, of course). During our two weeks working intensively with Kendra, Arya also began to slowly extend the length of her naps, which had been only 20 to 40 minutes long if they were in the crib. A little over a month since the training, she now averages one hour per nap, longer if she is home (as opposed to at daycare). Perhaps the most amazing thing about Kendra is that she is there for you even after your two week training if you really need her. Several weeks after our training ended, we traveled to Israel. We had a hard time getting Arya adjusted to the seven hour time difference, and Kendra jumped online to help us by sharing a few key tips. With her support, Arya was adjusted and sleeping well within just two days! The net effect of all this is less stress and a higher quality of life for me and my husband, and a happy, rested baby. In the words of my husband, hiring Kendra was the best $400 we've ever spent, and we will gladly re-hire her if we ever face another major sleep hurdle! read more

We were very lucky to find Kendra. She was great to work with, easy to reach and communicate with, and very professional. She came to our meeting prepared and she knows her stuff. There is a lot of information out there regarding sleep training, and it's hard to know what will work in one's specific household and situation. Kendra was able to tailor her advice for our needs, and her extensive follow-up allows her to steer us in whatever direction we needed. I highly recommend her for everyone. Sleep is so important, and working with Kendra will make your lives so much easier. read more

My 7 month daughter was waking up every 2 hours to nurse, every single night. I couldn't take it anymore, so I googled around and found Kendra. I read all the testimonials and figured it was too good to be true, and definitely worth a shot. On second night that we started the sleep plan, my baby slept through the night with basically no wake ups. And she's been sleeping through the night ever since. 11 to 12 hours. It was unbelievable. Napping was a little trickier so Kendra actually stuck with me for an extra week to track and improve the naps. She was super responsive to my emails and always helpful with all the questions I had. I'm actually mad I waited so long to call her- I could have been sleeping all that time! If I have another baby I will for sure use Kendra again- and I recommend ANYONE who's baby doesn't sleep- please call her so you can get some rest! read more

I was very wary going into the whole sleep training universe with 5 month old twins. Kendra was amazing! As another reviewer said - run, not walk, to Kendra! With minimal crying, Kendra had the babies on track to not just better sleep but (and I really don't know how!) substantially better feeds. 3 weeks later, they are now sleeping through the night (they cut the night feeds themselves) and are growing amazing well. read more

After many sleepless nights my husband and I finally decided to find a sleep consultant to help our 5-month old get more restful sleep. We knew we had developed some habits that were comforting at the time but ultimately not helping any of us long-term. She relied on nursing to sleep, and refused daytime naps. It's really hard to ask for help sometimes, but when I was faced with the end of maternity leave and returning to work with a nearly 5 month old still waking up 4-5 times a night some nights I knew we needed help. Let me say this now: if you are sleep deprived, if your baby is waking up many times in the night and relies on you to nurse (or whatever) them back to sleep, do not walk, but RUN to Kendra!!! In just a couple short week Kendra has our baby girl going from multiple wake ups a night to sleeping 12 hours a night. We have an older daughter who started sleeping through the night on her own so this whole not sleeping thing was new to us. We googled a lot of techniques online but nothing compared to the personalized step by step plan Kendra made for us based on what we told her about our current situation. She had an answer for every scenario, responded quickly to emails, and was there to troubleshoot with us on the not so good nights. I think we had an idea of some of our issues prior to working with Kendra, but we needed the support and accountability she provided. She pushed us out of our comfort zone in a good way that has us now sleeping much better, and longer! My husband and I actually get to unwind at night together and have an adult conversation. We actually got to watch a movie last week, uninterrupted, for the first time in over 5 months! I can not recommend Kendra enough. Sleep is so important for everyone in the family, it has made us all happier and healthier. Especially the baby! Thank you Kendra!!! read more

We worked with Kendra with our 3 year old. He consistently woke up throughout the night asking for water or his blanket. He also was waking up around 6am. With Kendra's expertise, we were able to get our little one to sleep through the night and not call for us until 7am!! Kendra is very responsive, knowledgeable and professional! I'm beyond excited with the results and would absolutely recommend! read more
