Nested Sleep

Holistic family sleep consulting for babies and children ages 0-18 years.

7 YEARS → 7 DAYS 🎉

Today officially kicks off the 7 Years of Nested Sleep celebration!

Seven years ago, I started Nested Sleep with a simple goal: help families get better sleep with evidence-based support that actually works in real life.

Seven years, hundreds of families, countless workshops, approximately one million sleep questions 😂, and SO much learning later…here we are!

For the next 7 days, I’m celebrating the families, the science, the workshops, the lessons I’ve learned, what’s coming next + sharing a few special surprises along the way. 👀

But first, thank you.

Thank you to every family who has trusted me, referred a friend, attended a workshop, shared a post, opened an email, or simply followed along.

A small business doesn’t get to seven years without a whole lot of people on the other side of it.

💙 And this celebration is happening exclusively through my email list! Each day through October 7, subscribers will get the celebration, special offers and surprises.

Eldest daughter energy is apparently thinking I should start another business, write a book, learn Japanese, take up a new hobby, reorganize my entire life… all at bedtime 💤

And honestly, I probably would do all of those things if there were more hours in the day.

But here’s the thing I’ve learned about sleep:

I can only have these big, slightly ridiculous thoughts when my brain has the capacity for them. When you’re exhausted, your brain is busy surviving.

What do I need to do next?
Who needs me?
How am I going to make it through bedtime?
When can I finally sit down?

There isn’t a lot of mental bandwidth left for dreaming, creating, problem-solving or thinking BIG.

When you’re rested, there’s space for that.

Space to have the ideas.
Space to be creative.
Space to think beyond the next thing on your to-do list.
Space to actually feel like yourself again.

And maybe that’s one of my favorite things about helping parents get better sleep. It’s not just about getting through the night. It’s about what your brain has the capacity to do when it isn’t running on empty.

Anyway, excuse me while I go add “learn Japanese” to my to-do list. 😂

Something exciting is coming to Nested Sleep 👀

This October marks 7 years of Nested Sleep, and I wanted to do something a little special to celebrate.

So I’m giving myself a little creative challenge:
7 years. 7 days. One pretty awesome celebration.

I’ll be sharing all the details with my email subscribers first, including a special anniversary offer that I really think you’ll want to know about if better sleep is on your fall to-do list.

If you’re not already on my email list, now is a very good time to join!

We are almost in Q4 😳, have you used those FSA/HSA funds yet?

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are tax-advantaged ways to save for healthcare expenses. And good news, Nested Sleep Services (1:1 support and workshops are typically a covered FSA/HSA service)!

So whether you need a personalized sleep plan or are expecting parents wanting to gain education before your baby is born I can help, and it’s covered.

Let me know any questions you have and let’s use those funds wisely this last part of the year to get your family rested!

You don’t have to take my word for it.

Every family I work with comes to me with something a little different. Early mornings, bedtime battles, naps that have gone completely sideways, frequent night wakings, or simply feeling like they have no idea what to do next.

And that’s exactly why I love this work. There isn’t one magic sleep schedule or one approach that works for every child. It’s about figuring out what your child needs and creating a plan that actually fits your family.

So today, I’m letting some of my August clients tell you themselves. 💤

If you’re feeling stuck with your child’s sleep and ready to stop Googling at 2am, I’d love to help.

Were you up past your child’s bedtime last night?? Getting back on track can sometimes be as easy as putting your baby or child to sleep at their typical schedule. Other times they are overtired, jet-lagged, or used to sharing a room with parents for a week or more!

When these things are at play then a reset is needed. This comes up often with my clients too so I decided to create a post travel reset guide to get your kiddo back on track. It has all the tips you need for how to get back to smooth bedtimes and later mornings with your baby or child.

Before kids, a day trip or weekend trip meant throwing your wallet and lip gloss in the car and heading out the door.

Now? diapers, extra clothes, endless snacks, nap timing calculations, & wondering if your toddler will fall asleep 5 minutes before you get home!

But good news: family day trips can absolutely still be fun (and even restful) with a little planning 🤍

I just shared a new blog with tips for:

✔️ aligning naps for smoother travel days
✔️ the best timing for drives based on your child’s age
✔️ helping babies & toddlers sleep in new environments
✔️ my favorite travel sleep tools for family trips

We’re headed to the mountains of Colorado, but whether you’re beach-bound, visiting grandparents, exploring a new town, or just surviving a longer car ride this weekend, these tips can help make the day feel a whole lot smoother.

One of the biggest reminders? Sleep does NOT have to be perfect for a family trip to be successful. A little flexibility and preparation usually go a long way ✨

Learn how I work with families below:

✨Virtual support: the bread and butter to my business is working 1:1 with families to achieve their sleep goals! My client outcomes and personal care is not only what brings in new clients, but repeat families who continue to trust me with their families sleep care.

Co-sleeping worked… until it didn’t.

And now you’re stuck wondering how to make a change without completely overwhelming your child (and yourself).

This is one of the most common situations families come to me with and the good news is, there’s a clear path forward.

It doesn’t require extremes.
It doesn’t require guessing.
It just requires the right plan + consistency.

Comment BLOG and I’ll send you my latest one to get you started!

If you’re ready to transition your toddler to their own sleep space, I’d love to support you.
