My Journey To Sleep Consulting

I'm what you would call multi-passionate! I attended Keene State College and received my BS in Chemistry. I've always been passionate about science, holding jobs ranging from working in a nuclear power plant to manager of a quality control lab for car and airplane parts. While I enjoyed these jobs, I never considered them my forever career.

It wasn't until I had twin boys who didn't sleep and I worked with our founder, Christine, that I started to see my true calling was in sleep consulting.

Christine and I became friends, staying in touch over the next couple years. Eventually, she suggested I get certified to become a child sleep consultant and join her team. It just made so much sense. Sleep consulting combines my love of children, helping others and science.

In February 2021, I graduated from the Family Sleep Institute certified child sleep consultant program and joined the Bella Luna team. In the past 2+ years I've had the pleasure of helping hundreds of families to get the rest they need.

My Mission

My mission is to help families be well rested and happier versions of themselves by customizing solutions that will help the family meet their sleep goals, while taking into account their family and child's uniqueness. My desire is to partner with families to jointly develop a plan and then hold them accountable to staying consistent so they can see success.

Why I Became a Sleep Consultant

When we found out we were pregnant with twins, I started reading all the books on sleep. I had always been good with babies and young children; babysitting for many families from an early age. My pre-kid self truly thought it couldn’t possibly be THAT hard. Boy, I was so wrong.

At 5 months, my boys slept 1 hour at a time, without fail. With lip and tongue tie revisions, severe reflux and little sleep for everyone, my husband and I were exhausted.

This was one of the most trying times of my life. My husband and I fought a lot, due to sheer exhaustion and neither one of us getting a break. He still had to work everyday and I felt deserted at home with 2 babies. Plus, I felt very alone. I had been pregnant at the same time as 3 other close friends and their babies were all easy sleepers. I felt like I was drowning and no one understood.

After working with Christine, I saw the life changing effects of sleep for my family. So when Christine's suggested I get certified and join her team, it was a no-brainer.

I pride myself on being a supportive, caring friend and I knew that I could use these skills, coupled with my sleep knowlege to truly make a difference in the lives of families. Now I get to do what I love and I can do it from anywhere we move!

LIFE CHANGING! We have 6 month old TRIPLETS who now sleep like rockstars thanks to Sarah. I used to spend 20 min rocking, swaying, and humming to get all 3 down for a nap, only to have them wake after 45 min(20 of that when I was in the room). I literally got 20 minutes to throw a load of laundry in and do some dishes. Nighttime… don’t even get me started. We were waking a minimum of 1-3 times each hour trying to shush them worried about waking the others and getting them back to sleep only to have to grab another one as soon as we got back to sleep ourselves. We started this journey with just a little hope of improving even the slightest bit. Well within just a couple of days our girls were sleeping for 1.5-2 hours for naps!! Our first girl slept through the night by day 3! Sarah was so responsive and would be there with answers as soon as I was in a panic. I can’t thank her enough for saving our sanity.

We worked with Sarah after struggling with prolonged bedtimes and night time wakings with our 3.5yo who was previously a great sleeper. We did the one week program which worked great. Sarah listened to us and came up with a plan. I am pleased to say it worked on night one and has ever since. We have actually had a successful single night away in a hotel as well as an entire week in a hotel without any major upsets in the routine. Our daughter is now sleeping 11-12 hours a night and we are sleeping again too! Bella Luna is worth every penny. So happy we worked with Sarah and had such a positive experience.

Sarah was absolutely amazing! She literally is a life saver! Our twin boys were waking up every two hours! We were at our wits end and had tried EVERYTHING! After countless failed attempts at getting them to even sleep a solid 4 hours, I googled a sleep consultant and Bella Luna popped up. It is the best thing we could’ve done! Sarah was super helpful and truly cared about our feelings and concerns. She created a customized sleep plan for our boys and within two nights… They were sleeping through the night!!!

Sarah saved our family from falling apart from lack of sleep and exhaustion! Everybody who says “my baby won’t sleep” the first words out of my mouth are “you need Sarah!”

If anyone is on the fence about if this works or not, let me tell you IT DOES!

Sarah changed our lives. We can never thank her enough. She was there for us, start to finish, every minute of the day. She goes above and beyond. We wish she were apart of our everyday lives. We couldn’t recommend her enough and sort of wish we had other kids that were horrible sleepers that she could work with. She’s the best, and is remarkable at her job.
