“Without Courtney we would still be sleep deprived parents…”

Courtney was an absolute pleasure to work with and so gifted in communicating with us. She made it easy to understand what we were doing wrong and to change our habits to help our son nap/sleep better. On the 3rd night our son started to sleep through the night which we couldn’t believe and hasn’t looked back since. He would always refuse to nap during the day and within a week he was napping twice a day for 3 hours+. Without Courtney we would still be sleep deprived parents not sure of an end in sight. Now we have time for us as well as a baby boy sleeping/napping wonderfully which has made him grow tremendously. Thank you Courtney!! She is the best!

“This was truly a lifesaver for two full time working parents…”

My 6 month old boy is a high needs, fussy baby who had never slept in his crib and only took 15-30min naps. Getting him to sleep even in our arms for naps or at night was a battle I absolutely dreaded. I felt lost and knew that something had to change- hiring Sleepwise was one of the best decisions we have ever made! I was skeptical and anxious but during the whole process we felt so supported and encouraged. Courtney, our consultant, was amazing, compassionate, and always made us feel like we had someone rooting for us and our baby. Our little guy went from waking every 1 to 2 hours to sleeping through the night on his 3rd night. This was truly a lifesaver for two full time working parents who had been severely sleep deprived for 6 months. Our lives have completely changed- our stress levels have gone down so much now and more importantly, we are thrilled our baby is getting the sleep he has always needed and deserved.

“In just under 3 weeks Courtney helped us fix our issues.”

We have been struggling with 5am-5:30am wakes for at least the past 6 months. We’ve researched and consulted with many and nothing seemed to work. In just under 3 weeks Courtney helped us fix our issues. The last week our little one has consistently slept 11.5-12 hrs and I would have sworn she was low sleep needs. She’s been so much happier throughout the day too!!

“She has maintained these sleep skills through teething, sick nights…”

Our 7 month old daughter was giving us a hard time at bedtime and then also waking up 3-5 times each night screaming. This is not sustainable, especially when both parents work full time. I am so glad I took my friend’s advice and set up a consultation with Courtney Key. She gave me hope and created an individualized sleep/nap schedule that works for our daughter, ourselves, AND her daycare. Our independent sleeper is now 9 months old and rests 11-12 uninterrupted hours each night. She has maintained these sleep skills through teething, sick nights, and even while staying at either set of grandparents houses for sleepovers. Literally worth every penny. Thank you Courtney Key!

“We could not recommend Courtney at Sleep Wise enough!”

We had our twins 6 weeks early and Courtney was able to tailor a sleep plan specific to them. She worked with us each week and our twins were sleeping through the night consistently at 4 months old! Courtney is so kind and easy to talk to, we will absolutely use her if we have another baby, and will always recommend her if someone is looking for a sleep consultant!

“The Sleep Wise program and Courtney’s guidance was the magic ingredient that we all needed.”

Our daughter had been sleeping so well for a few years that when things changed and she started waking up throughout the night and needing us to fall asleep each night, we were not equipped to quickly fix it. Add to that, the pandemic was just beginning and all of the routines and schedules changed. Fast forward ten months and we were all sleep-deprived and had somehow normalized this unhealthy situation. We knew that we needed help and Courtney Key at Sleep Wise was recommended and we reached out and signed up with little hesitation.  Our daughter was excited to have a “sleep teacher” and she responded and stepped up so well. She took pride in achieving milestones because Courtney was her teacher. We needed the guidance and the tools and Courtney was so patient, loving, understanding, and professional with us. She became family for us. The key was our commitment to consistency and everyone is sleeping so well now and the routine is dialed in. I cannot recommend Sleep Wise and Courtney strongly enough!

“Abby is a magician who somehow turned the most despised hours of our day into the most joyful ones.”

We originally approached Sleep Wise when our daughter, Alice, would not sleep between the hours of 8 pm – 3 am and were desperate for an earlier bedtime for her and a more reliable sleep window for ourselves. Thanks to her plan, tips and tricks, and supportive text messages (+ a lot of work on our end!), Alice now has the skills to get to sleep independently. The experience was not always an emotional breeze, but the few days of discomfort are absolutely worth now looking forward to Alice’s bedtime as a peaceful time to connect as a family.

“Life changing is not a term I use lightly or often.”

But that is what our sleep journey and consultation has been with Courtney. My 3.5 year old struggled with sleep from Day 1. Even after her brother arrived and got into a good sleep routine, she still would wake routinely at night.

And now, for the first time in her lifetime, she is sleeping through the night regularly, and so am I. Sleep is so fundamental to overall health, and without it I was not my best self or parent. Now I feel healthier, happier and more capable as a person and mother.

Thank you Courtney for helping us to get on track and improve our lives!

“Cooper sleeps for 12 hours and 9 minutes STRAIGHT THROUGH.”

On a recent Thursday night, our son, Cooper slept 10 hours (amazing, right?) … but woke up every 50-70 minutes crying, looking to be rocked or fed (not amazing).

We began working with Courtney that Saturday.

The following Sunday, Cooper slept for 11 hours, waking up a few times, self-soothing for all but one where he gets fed.

The following Tuesday, Cooper sleeps for 12 hours and 9 minutes STRAIGHT THROUGH. No exaggeration!

Courtney is a phenomenal Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant and we’re so happy we were able to work together. Cooper is an amazing sleeper and such a happy, well rested baby!

“…Gracie has fallen in love with her crib and sleeping!”

Okay so mom brag moment…  

Gracie girl was having a hard time sleeping. She would go to sleep, but was waking every 2-4 hours every night. Naps?! Ugh she never took naps in her crib. We always had to go for a car ride.

Then my friend recommended Courtney! And she was an absolute pleasure. In ten days she got Gracie to go to bed on her own. Sleep through the night AND nap in her crib for 1 1/2-2 hours! I have never felt better and Gracie has fallen in love with her crib and sleeping!

“It’s nice to know his bedtime is predictable and that he will sleep soundly getting the rest he needs.”

It has been over 2 months that our 4 month old son, Chester has been sleeping through the night 7p to 7a so we wanted to share our experience with Courtney from Sleep Wise so hopefully more families could be helped.

When Chester came home from the hospital he didn’t sleep for more then 30mins in a 24 hour period- for a newborn that is not normal and at the time as new parents we had no idea. We finally figured out he had a milk allergy and started him on Nutramigen which was a game changer. He was doing better but still barely sleeping.

When Chester was about 6 weeks old we reached out to Courtney and started their newborn program. In just a few short DAYS Chester was sleeping through the night- just waking for him feeding and falling back asleep.
By 12 weeks old Chester stopped waking during the night for feedings all together.

Today baby boy is just 4 months old and continues to sleep throughout the night. Not one wake up! It’s nice to know his bedtime is predictable and that he will sleep soundly getting the rest he needs.

Chester was taught how to put himself to sleep. At bedtime he is laid in his crib awake and puts himself to sleep- no fighting, no rocking. If he wakes during the night he doesn’t cry out..he may just look around for a few minutes then falls back asleep.

If it is possible at such an early age it’s possible for any baby. Chester is getting the rest he needs every night and we are well rested!

“All three of us are so much happier these days.”

An infant sleeping through the night. A mythical fairy tale, right? Only for gods chosen parents, blessed with exceptionally easy babies.

That’s what I thought, in the thick of 4 month sleep regression. Bear was waking up 4-5 times a NIGHT (more than he was as a newborn), taking over an hour to be put down for naps and bedtime. Lots of rocking, nursing, and crying (from me + him), pacifiers, swaddles, bassinets, co sleeping, we tried everything under the sun that Dr. Google recommended.

I resigned to the fact that this was my life now. I was irritable and frustrated, and my mental health and marriage was starting to suffer.

Cut to exactly 2 weeks later, and Matt and I are now one of gods chosen parents. Bear sleeps through the entire night (12 hours!), and takes 3 naps a day like clockwork. He is put in his crib wide awake, without a pacifier, rocking, or eating, and puts himself to sleep in 2-4 minutes WITHOUT CRYING.

How did this miracle happen? Matthew and I decided to work with a fairy godmother, an angel among moms, sleep consultant Courtney Ryan Key. With her help and gentle guidance, we were able to fix everything we had been doing wrong (a lot) and implement a sleep plan from Sleep Wise.

Moral of the story: sleep, you want it? Work with our fairy godmother. Don’t wait until your three year old takes up your entire king bed to teach them to sleep independently.
