I’m Rachel.
I am the founder and primary sleep consultant at My Sweet Sleeper and the lead instructor at Sweet Sleep Academy. I started my journey 14 years ago after working as a night nanny and helping families get much-needed rest as new parents. I realized during this time how many parents were suffering from sleep deprivation and how little support they received.
This is when I decided to launch my practice and help as many families as possible see parenting through rested eyes, instead of living in an exhausted state. As a mom of seven I know how difficult it is to parent when you are suffering from sleep deprivation and how life-changing it is to get the rest you need. I wake up everyday feeling excited to help families, and I feel truly blessed to be able to do this impactful work while supporting my own family.
If you are just as passionate about helping families and you are dreaming of a career that allows you to make a difference AND spend more time with your own family, then you are in the right place!

“The My Sweet Sleeper Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant training program has been such a wonderful experience for me. Rachel laid out the course in easy to follow modules, with a formative quiz each week to assess my knowledge of the material and a live training once a week. As a working mom however, the fact that Rachel recorded the sessions and allowed us to watch back if we were unable to attend was so convenient! While there were due dates, I was able to complete my coursework on my time and if I fell behind she was so gracious in giving me extra time to get caught up. Her mentorship has been such a blessing. She is always willing to answer any questions I have regarding content or a case study and provides ample opportunities for trainees to get experience in the "field." The weekly mentorship calls are also a wonderful bonus once you finish your coursework. I highly recommend this program!”
