Our Pediatric Sleep Certification Courses

  • Self-Paced Pediatric Sleep Certification

    The self-paced pediatric sleep course is designed with YOU in mind, to allow you the freedom and flexibility to work through the curriculum on your own. With this option, you can enroll at anytime and there is no official “start date.” You will still be following the same curriculum as the “live” training, but will not attend the weekly video calls. Instead, you will watch them as recordings and work through each module as you are able, to fit your needs and busy lifestyle!

  • Live Pediatric Sleep Certification

    Our live training class is led by Rachel Mitchell, founder of Sweet Sleep Academy, and My Sweet Sleeper. In this training, you receive live instruction as well as mentorship and guidance through the program from both Rachel and her team. With this exclusive program, open to just 10 students per class, you will have access to mentorship during the class and following graduation + have the ability to connect with your peers as we walk through the training together. Our next live session starts in January 2025

Maternity & Postpartum Sleep Certification Course (New!)

Our Maternity and Postpartum Sleep Certification is our newest course, launching this year, in 2024! Offered as a live and self-paced program, this course is designed to teach you how to support women during pregnancy and postpartum as they struggle with unique sleep challenges in these periods. This program is one of only a few programs out there that provides the training and knowledge needed to support women during these two very important stages. Discover how you can be a part of this exciting movement by learning more about our upcoming live training below!

What will I learn?

At Sweet Sleep Academy we are not just a program focused on sleep training. We believe that there are many parts that play important roles in pediatric sleep, which is why we take a holistic approach. We look at the whole picture of pediatric sleep rather than simply one or two parts.

Through our approach to sleep you will learn how to identify (not diagnose) underlying medical issues and red flags, how to set up healthy routines and habits, how to support parents with PPD, the scientific background of sleep cycles and hormones, basics to get your business started, and SO much more!

Is this for me?

Are you passionate about helping parents + babies and ready for a thriving career without having to sacrifice family time?

Are you wanting to expand your education and become an expert on child sleep in order to service families, communities, and organizations?

Are you ready for more flexibility and more time doing the things you enjoy and spending time with those you love?
