Success Stories

Laura & Nathan N. (child age 9 months)

We were surprised how easy it was. We expected a big battle and fight from him, but because we went with the method and were methodical about it, the process was so much easier than I thought. There was no drama. It wasn't traumatizing at all. It flowed very naturally. You don't have to just leave their baby in a room to cry it out for hours. I would definitely recommend that everyone try sleep coaching with Joanna instead of just leaving them to cry. 

Jack C. (child age 21 months)

We really needed an objective third party with expertise who could guide us through the process of teaching our daughter to sleep. It is a lot more difficult to navigate this process alone—you’re kind of flying blind, and it’s so easy to go down a wrong road or inadvertently introduce more sleep crutches that you then need to undo. We truly needed our hands to be held throughout the entire process.

Annie D. (child age 16 months)

The best thing about it was understanding the science behind sleep training. Joanna gave me so many amazing handouts to support me along the way. It made it so much easier to follow through with those details and how Joanna meticulously individualizes the plan for our lives. It was having a real time coach that understood exactly what we were going through and how to solve each of those little problems along the way. This was exactly what we wanted. The first week of coaching was all about investigating and understanding wake windows and once I started going into that world of science of wake windows, things started to click and makes so much sense.

Everything we dreamt of, we have now. We wanted him to sleep through the night. We wanted him to be able to fall asleep by himself. We wanted him to stop waking up at 4am. We wanted to bottle wean at night(which thought was impossible because he was drinking 3 large bottles and screaming that he's hungry.) We didn't want to spend our whole day in the dark room trying to get him to nap. Mr. Natural- 2 hour nap during the day, sleeps through the night, bottle weaned and even can fall asleep in the stroller or the car now. Sleep coaching has been magical and effective.

Meredith S. (10 months)

Jonna was truly there to support us every step of the way with whatever we needed. Joanna never judged us, always made us feel super comfortable and really helped us quickly. It wasn't this drawn out process. My regret is that I waited so long to ask for help because this could have been addressed months earlier.

Jessica M. (14 months)

As a parent, it feels like I SHOULD be able to do the research and figure out what's going on with our child. So much of the information that's out there is just contradictory. On our Sleep Strategy Session, Joanna helped guide us towards tools where we could have done sleep training without her support, but we were so “tapped out”, drained, and not sleeping so we just knew we needed one-on-one coaching help. We wanted someone to help us make the decisions and guide us.

Stacy B.(child age 12 months)

“It really was a gentle approach. She was never crying it out alone and it was just really gentle, the whole process. Involving Dad definitely took their relationship to the next level and letting them have their bonding time while getting rest time for myself. That morning nursing session is even more special because she's not distracted eating, she wakes up ready to nurse and we have a solid 15 minutes together.”

Alicia & Nick F. (child age 6.5 months)

“It was a ‘hot mess’. We had angry baby who needed to be held 24/7. She would not sleep more than 20 min day and no more than 2 hrs at night. We did not think anything would work! Advice: TRUST JOANNA'S PROCESS. Working with Joanna has been PRICELESS. Our whole family has benefited. We have a happy baby sleeping 12 hrs at night and taking long naps.“

Kasie G. (child age 9 months)

“Going through the process we really built a new trust in our relationship. It is not just being able to be the sleep coach. It's showing to your spouse they can trust you and you're a capable spouse. I was able to show that not only can I do it, but that it's okay to be able to step away because our child is in a safe space. Our child has been taught the skills. Our child now has the tools to do it and you don't have to worry anymore.”

Christian A. (child age 8 months)

“The way Joanna explains things and the science behind it was comforting and that was really what got my wife to feel comfortable with sleep coaching. Having the coach to text you and to be able to talk to you the next day helps you feel good about things. Now he sleeps through the night. We don't worry. We know he's sleeping, We know he is safe. We have our nights back!”

Kate (child age 20 months)

“I love co-sleeping with my babies, but there comes a time for baby to go to crib and that is when we called Joanna. She saved our family. She is my angel. We love her. I did not want to hear my baby cry. The concept sleep training scared me. We found Joanna who matched our parenting style. We felt good about the whole process. Our 20 month sleeps in his crib all night 11-12 hrs now. Our 2nd child is next and I am excited and not scared. I can't thank Joanna enough!!!”

Kinnary J. (children 14 months & 3 years old)

“Our 14 month old was a nightmare. Throughout her life, I don't remember a single night where she slept because literally every 30 minute to 1 hour she was waking up, crying, having to be comforted, walked around, rocked and all of that. Sleep coaching was the last resort for us, before we gave up and accepted how things were. I can't recommend sleep training more! It's been wonderful just having Joanna by my side and knowing that I'm not fighting this alone. there's a different life waiting for you.”

Kasie & Sam W. (child age 10 months)

“The best money I have ever spent was on sleep coaching with Joanna and my mattress! Joanna is a Pro! Take the big leap to get the help and results. It is worth it!”

Christian L. (child 18 months)

“Doing Gentle Sleep Coaching with Joanna is a true professional service. Just like you might hire an accountant or a lawyer for expertise, Joanna is truly a master of her craft. She has a thorough and comprehensive professional strategy to gt you results, akin to a lawyer's discovery process or a doctor's case history process. Consider this a professional service and realize the immense value you receive in solving your child’s sleep struggles.“

Jessie G. (child age 15 months)

"I kind of felt like we were at the end of our rope. We were backed into a corner where our entire lives, outside of our stressful jobs, revolved around doing whatever we could do to get "M" to sleep. There were no evening activities, no exercise. We didn't have time for anything else. It was just to the point where we couldn't go on doing it like that anymore. I just felt very helpless. I thought there has to be someone out there that is an expert. I can't do this myself. I just did a simple Google search and found Joanna's website and really liked what she had to say and thought. I think sleep training can be intimidating, but Joanna gave me a lot of confidence that I needed. Calling Joanna was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Everything is completely different now. She goes to bed and we have all of the rest of the night together. She actually enjoys going to bed. I never thought I would say those words. Now she's sleeping 12 to 13 hours uninterrupted all night and taking good naps. It's just such a beautiful feeling, knowing that she's enjoying this as much as we are. It doesn't feel selfish at all. She needed this from us so it just makes it all that much more rewarding. My only regret is not reaching out sooner because it really is life-changing.""I

Alicia I. (children at ages 5 months, 8 months and 15 months)

“I hired Joanna to help me sleep coach all three of my kids. It is 8pm and I have clean hair, my kitchen is clean and my laundry is folded and I have a glass of wine AND all three of my babies are asleep! This is all possible because of Joanna!”

Kate & Joel P. (child age 6.5 months)

“How much is your sanity and sleep worth? We are now ‘leveled up’ because everyone is sleeping. No more night time anticipation and anxiety about wakings. It is such a breath of fresh air.”

Luz G. (child age 9 months)

“Because my child is now sleeping & reflux free, I have energy to paint. I am a visual artist and I have not painted for 7 years as been too busy and too tired raising 3 children. Now that my youngest is sleeping 12 hrs at night and taking 2 good naps, I can now paint during his naps. The extra bonus is that now it easy for husband to put him down for nights and naps too. I highly recommend Joanna if you want to sleep again. Thank you Joanna, you are so nice!"

Penelope S. (child age 11 months)

“Don’t struggle with sleepless nights! I was “shattered” and now I am a well-rested & energized entrepreneur. My darling 11 month old her baby boy sleeps peacefully through the night! Sleep Matters for a life well-lived!“

Annie (child age 20 months)

“Life was awful. We had tried another sleep consultant, but we never really followed through.Then, our pediatrician recommended Joanna! We are now all sleeping. He sleeps 7pm-6am! Its worth it. It is an investment in your family health.”

Christina (child age 10 months)

“We were both very sleep-deprived. We were grumpy with each other, not enjoying our quality time with each other and our baby. Having tried an online class and failed, we realized we needed more hand-holding, which led us to finding Joanna. From the first day of sleep training, everyone was in a better mood. Everyone had a little more sleep. No one was traumatized from the sleep training. It was just a really positive experience. Now we're able to enjoy a nice quiet evening. I was able to start a new job, which I definitely don't think I could unless our child was sleeping well and through the night.”

Namit & Divya R. (child age 12 months)

“Our 1 year old son was waking multiple times a night and so one of our friends referred us to Joanna. Joanna was lovely to work with. She guided us through our whole process and definitely "held-our-hands" through the process. Now, our son is sleeping beautifully. He has a wonderful routine. Working with Joanna was a GOD SEND and we are so happy and thankful for her. I have referred her to so many of my friends. I know how it is to go through sleepless nights and working with Joanna was so helpful. Please continue to do your awesome work. Thanks again.”

Brynn W. (child age 15 months)

“Joanna’s a ‘coach extraordinaire’. It's okay to need help, it's okay to need support and validation. We have a 15 month old that I was breastfeeding on-demand, co-sleeping and working full-time. It just got to be where a lot of my personal and professional work was not getting done. Now my 15 month old happily leads happily bedtime happily.“

Janelle T. (child age 15 months)

“It changed our lives completely! I did a lot of research and I talked to five different sleep coaches and we even worked with the sleep coach when my daughter was six months old and didn't have a very good experience. Joanna is really just leagues above everybody else I've talked to. She really knows the science behind sleep. She knows child development. She knows brain development. She is obsessed with sleep which is really helpful so she really seeks out research. She is incredibly knowledgeable about a wide range of people's situations.”

Kavvya R. (child age 7 months)

This top High-Tech Executive was utterly exhausted when their 2nd child was waking every 2 hrs at night. Their focus and productivity at work was was suffering and they had lost the "work-life balance" Now everyone in the household is sleeping well and everyone is finally well-rested
