I am a wife, mother, homemaker, home-educator, an Occupational Therapist, and a Pediatric Sleep Consultant. I enjoy building community, going on nature walks, eating spicy ahi tuna rolls, making sourdough, sourcing vintage and second-hand decor, collecting lovely children's books, working on my tennis game, attempting some habit of leisure reading, and getting lots of sleep (if you haven’t guessed that one yet).

I was born and raised on the beautiful island of O’ahu, Hawai’i. I am now located in Boise, ID after living in China, Omaha, NE, and Vancouver, BC.

My first child struggled for months to sleep consistently through the night, but I had zero clue about sleep training a baby! I was always second-guessing myself about what I should do about this problem, and I was very, very sleep deprived and feeling frustrated with how things were going!

This was supposed to be a thriving, fresh new baby, and I was supposed to be a happy mom! I didn’t want to resent my new baby for making me stay up all night, but it was starting to creep into my thoughts and trying to do normal, everyday things during the day was so exhausting. If I’m being totally honest, I couldn’t function properly.

A friend introduced me to The Sleep Sense Program, which was life-changing! My friend  scolded me about the bags under my eyes and said it didn’t have to be this way. I’ve used this sleep training method with all four of my children, so I know first-hand that it really works because they are all great sleepers to this day. I don’t regret teaching my children to sleep independently. It gave me the freedom, confidence, and joy that I was missing in my parenting! 

I graduated with my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy (OTD) in 2011 at Creighton University. My professional experience is working with children and adults in multiple fields—foster home and orphanage, school, trauma hospital, psychiatric hospital, rehab hospital, and skilled nursing facility. 

I love sleep. It’s kind of my thing, and it is exciting to figure out the puzzle of what’s going on to improve quality and restful sleep. In 2024, that passion led me to start this small business to help postpartum mothers, new parents, and seasoned parents who wanted to find solutions to their little one’s sleep. My focus is working with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers up to age 4. I trained formally under Dana Obleman who is the creator of The Sleep Sense Program and received my certification as a Sleep Sense Consultant. 

This job is a dream because I can stay at home with my children, but I can also blend my expertise as an Occupational Therapist and Pediatric Sleep Consultant to help parents anywhere around the world! 

I am just a regular o’l mom with 100 problems (#laundry), but sleep isn’t one of them!

I would love to help you and your family finally get the sleep you need and deserve! Book your free discovery call today!
