“
I had a great experience during my sleep training with Rachel and her team. I met some amazing ladies in my class and Rachel is great, always available to answer any questions. The class was very organized and I learned so much, even for my own son. I highly recommend taking her class if you are interested in becoming a sleep consultant.”
