RTS SLEEP CONSULTING
Get back the sleep you’ve been
dreaming about.
Nice to meet you -
I’m Rachel!
certified pediatric sleep consultant
I help guide, encourage, and gift great sleep to parents and kids!
I’ve got to be real with you—I'm not thrilled that you're here because your baby isn't catching enough Z's. But you know what? I'm actually pretty excited about the opportunity to work with you!
First things first, this is a judgment-free zone! No need to worry or feel ashamed. I'm here to lend a helping hand, and I genuinely want to assist you. Let me also take a moment to say, you're doing an amazing job! Parenting can be tough as nails, and I want to give you a big high-five for tackling it head-on. And guess what? There's no shame in seeking a little support to help your kiddo sleep better. Your little baby or toddler won't judge you, and trust me, those tired eyes of yours will thank you.
The reason I started this business is because I've been there. I've been in the trenches of sleepless nights, feeling utterly isolated and questioning my parenting skills. Picture me, crying alongside my baby in the wee hours of the night, desperately trying to figure out what the heck to do. So, if you're here because you've tried every trick in the book to get your baby to sleep, I totally get it!
Maybe you've gone down the rabbit hole of buying a gazillion swaddles and sleep sacks that promise to work wonders, or you've got your baby rockin' a sleep suit that turns them into a mini marshmallow. Perhaps you've read all the sleep books and exhausted yourself swinging your little one back and forth. And let's not forget those late-night episodes of your latest Netflix binge for hopefully a dose of laughter amidst the tears. It's possible to feel like you're the only one awake, wondering when this never-ending nightmare will end.
About Me!
But guess what? I've got a secret to share—I've been right where you are. I've gone through the motions, buying all the swaddles and sleep gadgets, devouring blogs and following the advice of baby sleep gurus. I was that tired parent watching Schitt's Creek at odd hours, desperately seeking a glimmer of hope while I was cry laughing! And you know what? I hit rock bottom too. My baby wouldn't sleep, and I felt like the biggest failure. But then, I stumbled upon a solution that led me here. I found a sleep shaping routine and within three days of sticking to it like glue, my two-month-old baby girl started snoozing through the night. I kid you not, I woke up one morning at 6 a.m. in a panic, thinking something was wrong. Lo and behold, there she was, sound asleep in the pack and play. Now, that's what I call a miracle! When my son came along two years later, I wasted no time getting him on a sleep routine and working on healthy sleep habits, and he's been getting a solid 12 hours since he hit the 12-week mark.
Helping parents find the gift of sleep has become a passion of mine because I know firsthand the struggle of surviving on minimal rest. I'm here to lend you a helping hand and guide your family towards a well-rested life. Just like I said, I've been in the trenches, so consider this a friendly nudge to reach out and let me help you reclaim that quality sleep. You'll be thanking me later, I promise!
I'm a certified pediatric sleep consultant through the Center for Pediatric Sleep Management. I've got the knowledge and experience to back up my customized sleep plans. Just a heads up, though—I focus on providing behavioral and parental advice, no medical stuff. So, if you've got any medical concerns, I always recommend chatting with your pediatrician.
Besides being a sleep consultant, I'm also a mom of two, a sister to two awesome brothers, a daughter, a wife, and I'm all about Bravo! So, if you're into the Real Housewives and Vanderpump Rules, we might just become besties.
