When it all began...

When I had my first son, I was so exhausted from his sleepless nights that I wasn’t enjoying being a parent the way I imagined it would be. The lack of sleep affected every aspect of my life, from my health to my marriage and overall happiness.

No one can prepare you for how freaking tired you’re going to be! I knew I had to do something, and there had to be a way for my entire family to get the rest they so desperately needed.

When I found someone to help me get my son to sleep through the night – IT CHANGED MY LIFE!

My son became a champion sleeper in a few short weeks, and so did my second son when he was born a few years later, all because I knew exactly what to do to help them become great sleepers.

I felt so much better because I was sleeping through the night. My happy baby became even happier because he was getting the rest he needed. My health improved, as did my overall happiness!

It’s your time to enjoy your family and have the energy to be the mom and wife you want to be. Book a complimentary discovery call with me so I can learn more about your child and share exactly how I can help your family.

When it all began...

“I didn’t know he was capable of sleeping like this.” That is the message I sent to JoAnna just 4 days after sticking to our sleep program with our son. 

Like many girls and young women, becoming a mom was something I’ve always dreamt about. There are no books, videos, or unsolicited advice from other parents that can COMPLETELY prepare you for your parenthood journey. Your child and your relationship with your child is unique, one of a kind, and special. 

I spent night after night, awake with our son, assuming this was just how motherhood was going to be. As a result, I struggled to get through the day as the best mom I envisioned for myself. It seemed as though I was waiting for the day it would miraculously change; that day never came, until I took action. 

After months of sleepless nights, I was somewhat skeptical but optimistic about the process of sleep training because something had to change. I genuinely thought, “Well we can try, but my baby is different. It probably won’t work for him.” Thank goodness I was wrong. Our son is now an amazing sleeper and it has absolutely improved every aspect of our parenthood experience.

I received my degree in Early Childhood Studies and have 10+ years experience working with families, as a daycare provider, home educator, and nanny. Now my focus and passion is helping tired parents, give their babies and themselves the gift of sleep.

Your baby CAN and WILL sleep peacefully with your love and support, and a little help from me. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.  I offer a complimentary discovery call and I’d love to share more about how I can help your family get the rest you need.

When it all began...

When I had my first child, everyone said, “Be prepared for exhaustion and sleepless nights!” and I always said, “I know, it comes with the territory of being a Mama!” But what I didn’t know, is that they were wrong!

Having a baby doesn’t have to mean endless sleepless nights!

When my daughter was 6 months old, I finally decided to do something about my sleepless nights. Before hiring Jo Anna, my daughter was waking up eight, yes EIGHT times a night and I couldn’t do it anymore. In no time at all, my daughter was sleeping through the night, and guess what!? I was too! I suddenly felt human again!

I now refer to my daughter as my “Professional Sleeper” who is a complete joy to be around. No longer is she a grumpy, over-tired little human. She is happy during the day, and happily goes to sleep – she even looks forward to it!

As for me, I suddenly have the energy and time to be the best Mama and Wife I could be, and I can’t wait to see that change in the families I work with. Having a sleeping baby is truly life changing and an amazing life long gift to give to you and your little one.

It’s time for you and your family to start getting sleep again! Contact me today to find out how!

Certified Adult Sleep Coach

When it all began...

I have always been a light sleeper, and have envied those who could  sleep soundly through an entire night. As I grew older, those light sleep times began being punctuated by repetitive awake periods. Getting back to sleep each time was increasingly difficult.

This loss of sleep made working as an ER Nurse even more exhausting than it should have been. I was battling the aging process, trying to maintain my health, and this was no time in my life to get LESS sleep than ever!
At the same time, many of my friends also began experiencing loss of sleep or difficulty falling asleep as they moved into middle age and began planning for retirement.

Many of them became dependent on some type of sleep aid, such as prescription medication, alcohol or binge TV watching.  None of these “aids” seemed to have a lasting effect.

My own research, education, and experimentation have convinced me that this problem exists in almost pandemic proportions among middle-aged and older adults in particular. There seems to be no one “answer” and cure for all of us. Instead, our sleep needs, quality, and duration require a holistic and individual understanding and approach.

 And that’s where I come in! As a Certified Adult Sleep Specialist, I would love an opportunity to work with you individually. I would help you understand the what and why of your sleep problems and then support you in implementing some ways to greatly improve the quality of your life by enjoying longer, deeper, and more quality sleep. Contact me today for a complimentary discovery call.
