“We gleaned so much knowledge and confidence from working with Kelsey.”

Our daughter was nearing 4 months old at the time of our first consult with Sleep Wise. Since about 4 weeks old, she would only take 35-minute naps in her crib. Nights were extremely inconsistent… some nights she would sleep through, and other nights she would wake and cry for over an hour while we attempted sleep training with a night nanny who, although well-intentioned, was giving us misguided advice.

We specifically requested to work with Kelsey, a senior consultant who had previously helped our friends achieve great sleep with their daughter. From the very first conversation, Kelsey was incredibly friendly, supportive, and deeply knowledgeable. One of the biggest things I learned through this process is that a fundamental part of sleep training is encouragement and positive reinforcement for the parents, reassurance that you are doing the right things, and staying consistent.

We opted for the Diamond Plan, which includes five days of text support, and that level of access proved invaluable. The methods used focused heavily on preventing drowsiness during feeds and throughout the entire wake window to avoid unintentionally introducing sleep props. To our surprise and relief, our daughter began connecting most of her naps (over an hour!) and was sleeping through her middle-of-the-night feed by the end of just two weeks.

We also would not have known how to confidently navigate the transition from four naps to three naps without Kelsey’s guidance. She was extremely responsive, thoughtful in her recommendations, and helped us understand how to pivot in different situations. We gleaned so much knowledge and confidence from working with her, and I truly cannot recommend Kelsey enough.

“10/10 would work with Kelsey again.”

We worked with Kelsey and she was absolutely amazing! Our baby slept through the night consistently after only 10 days. Kelsey was very kind and caring throughout the whole process which made it so much easier as a new mom.

“Kelsey was my number 1 advocate and I so appreciate it!”

Kelsey Hotchkiss was wonderful to work with. She gave me an easy to follow, practical plan for my baby which led to her sleeping through the night by 12 weeks.

Adding to this because I just used Sleep Wise again for my 4th baby. I cannot understate the value of their support. I added on the REM package and it has been amazing – quick answers to those random questions that pop up plus connecting with other parents who are in the same stage of life! Truly can’t say how much I appreciate this group.

“We hired a different sleep consultant company at first, and we were really disappointed with her work, and ultimately we were left back in the same boat.”

We struggled with our son’s nighttime sleep habits for a very long time. We tried various methods of sleep training, different bed times, nap schedules and wake windows, etc, but no matter what we tried he was having multiple middle of the night wakings and was up for the day every morning at 4am. By the time he was 6 months old we were finally so sleep deprived that we decided to spend the money on some help! I feel it’s important to mention,  It was a hard pill to swallow to hire another sleep consultant after that, but what a HUGE difference it was when we worked with Kelsey. Not only was she able to find the root of the issue for us, but she went above and beyond to help us achieve better sleep for our son and for us. She genuinely cared about how our son was progressing, and while he was an extra tough case to crack, Kelsey was always confident she would be able to help. And she was right. Kelsey is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and generous with her time. When it comes to helping your child get better sleep, it’s a team effort. You have to be willing to put in the work to change bad habits, or try a new routine, and to keep close track of feedings, nap times and duration, and overnight sleep/wakings. Take it from me, it is worth your time. Our son now sleeps through the night, and on the rare occasion he does wake up in the middle or the night, he’s able to put himself back to sleep. I cannot recommend Kelsey enough as I have no doubt she has the knowledge and the tools to help you achieve your sleep goals for your child.

“Our new, reliable toddler sleep pattern is nothing short of life changing.”

A friend recommended Kelsey and Sleep Wise to us and we haven’t regretted it for a minute. Our toddler had some rough sleep habits after a lengthy international trip and Kelsey helped us transition back into the crib and into 11hrs+ of sleep a night, and reliable naps as well. She was patient, supportive, and listened to our situation and concerns thoroughly. We don’t hesitate to recommend Kelsey and Sleep Wise to other families and friends, and are eager to work together again (if it comes to that 🙂 ).

“Kelsey was fantastic and resourceful.”

We worked with Kelsey Hotchkiss to sleep train my 7 month old. We could not have done without her help. She was patient to answer each and every question. Kid is now fully trained and can sleep on her own without any props. Kid’s nap and routine is fully set. We don’t have any more 2-3 hour night wake window. Either my daughter (mostly) sleeps through the night or it takes 30 mins to feed and put her back to sleep. We are pleased with the outcome.

“We are glad that we decided to invest in good sleep for our baby (and for us)!”

We’ve been working with Kelsey since our baby was 8 weeks old. He’s now 12 weeks and can put himself to bed and naps nearly 100% of the time. He’s only been waking up for 1 feeding at night, and sometimes he will even sleep through the night.

She was especially helpful in guiding us on how to handle dropping the swaddle. It’s been great to have someone there for supprt and to hold us accountable in sticking with the sleep plan. She’s given us the tools to help our baby continue sleeping well in the future. It will be nice to be able to connect with her at the 4 month, 5 month, and 6 month mark to make sure he continues to sleep well, and to have that support if any regressions come up.

You really can’t put a price on good infant sleep.

“Our lives have changed for the better since working with Kelsey!”

We started our Sleep Wise journey with Kelsey when our daughter was 8 weeks old. She had developed a dependency on sleeping with her pacifier and we were playing paci-pong all night long with her – my husband and I were so sleep-deprived. Kelsey gave us a guided routine to slowly wean her off of the pacifier, as well as helping us to identify other things we could do (or not do!) during the day to help with her nighttime and naptime sleep. Within just a week, our daughter was no longer dependent on her pacifier, and within a few weeks, she was sleeping through the night before she was even 12 weeks old. We now have an-almost-4-month old who sleeps 12 hours every single night, can put herself to sleep for every nap or nighttime sleep, and can stay active during daytime activities. We are SO thankful for Kelsey’s help and guidance – she provides clear and easy-to-follow rules for both parents and baby that make sleep for everyone in the house so much better. I can’t say enough good things about Kelsey and Sleep Wise.

“We cannot recommend this enough!!!”

We had the opportunity to work with Kelsey who provided so much guidance and support. In under two weeks, our son went from sleeping 3-4 hours at a time to sleeping independently through the night.

“From the start Kelsey was informative, sympathetic, and knowledgeable!!!”

We struggled with our little ones sleep from about four months until nine months when we finally made the decision that something needed to change. We were referred to Sleep Wise Consulting, and although we had our reservations decided to give it a shot because it was a last resort.  She helped us create a sleep plan that was right for our family. It seems to good to be true but after some coaching and changing my ways we were blown away even after night 1 !!! We are now about 3 weeks in and it has been a life changing experience!! We went from co sleeping and nursing on and off about every 45 minutes to 1 hour all night long to her sleeping in her own crib waking up just 1 time to eat and then back alseep. Worth all the money in the world to have my little girl sleeping like she should be so she can thrive and gown. Also giving mom and dad the sleep they need to take care of their family. Thanks again to Kelsey and Sleep Wise. It was the best decision I have ever made !!

“Our baby is sleeping great because of our consultations with Kelsey.”

We have been working with Kelsey and have had a wonderful experience! She has taught us so much and answered all of our questions with a deep knowledge of what is best for our baby’s sleep. We highly recommend Sleep Wise Consulting and wish we would have known about it for our baby’s older brother!

“We are thrilled that this program really worked!”

We worked with Kelsey and are happy to report our 3 month old is sleeping through the night, and no longer fighting naps! We could not have done this alone.
