“Investing in Sleep Wise and working with Marissa was the best investment we could have made!”

We worked with Marissa Gianakas based on a recommendation from a friend. Our daughter had colic for the first four months of her life without any physical or health related issues and we were at our wits end. We were blown away with the guidance and tools Marissa provided and watched as Finley made progress each week. Soon she was able to put herself to sleep and started sleeping through the night. She connected sleep cycles, transitioned between 3 to 2 and eventually to 1 nap easily, and is able to sleep well even when she is sick. At 20 months, Finley naps 2-3 hours a day and sleeps 10-11 hours overnight. She is such a great sleeper and we’ve all managed to get rest as a result.

“Marissa held our hand and guided us every step of the way, monitoring progress and making adjustments as needed.”

Before we met Marissa, we didn’t think a restful night was possible – for us or for our baby. We were holding and rocking her to sleep, she would immediately wake up when put down in her crib and was waking every 2-3 hours at night. We dreaded nights and would never know how long it would take for her to go to sleep. We had read a bunch of resources online but were never able to consistently stick to a plan that we were comfortable with. We didn’t understand our baby’s cues or what her sleep/wake needs were. Marissa created a very personalized plan for us that considered everything we wanted for our baby and everything we were comfortable with. Her calm, comforting and supportive approach really paved the way for our little one’s success. After the first day, our baby was putting herself to sleep on her own! She now sleeps 11+ hours a night and naps like a champ! We don’t even know what to do with all the time we have now!! Our baby is so well rested and happy, and we owe it all to Marissa. She was completely invested in our journey and success. She celebrated every small victory with us and supported us through any hiccups. Working with her has been the best thing we have done for our baby. We are SO grateful to her and know that she has equipped us with the tools to adjust to any curveballs ahead <3

“My husband was skeptical that we needed it but he is a believer now after our little man sleeps 12+ hours at night.”

We put off official sleep training for over 6 months thinking we could do it on our own.. after a year of less sleep we decided to take the leap and were SO PLEASED with Marissa and how well the transition went! We now have a sleeping child, hallelujah! We thought we could figure it out but it wasn’t until Marissa really went through all our routines and sleeping individually with our son that we figured out what needed to change. We are forever grateful for the help and her patience. She is amazing and a baby whisperer! She was spot on.

“We recommend Sleep Wise to all of our new parent friends!”

We live a very hectic lifestyle traveling a lot. We started with Marissa when Ryder was 2 weeks old to help get him on a schedule and develop strong sleep habits early. Well she did more than that! By the time Ryder was 8 weeks old he was sleeping 10 hours through the night and had dropped his overnight feed. She taught us the importance of the wake window and feedings during the day all set up for a restful night.

“We couldn’t believe that the goals we set with Marissa were attainable.”

Working with Marissa was a wonderful experience. We came to her through a recommendation from another parent in our neighborhood who had heard our 4 month regression disastrous sleep story. Our son had been a great sleeper till he hit the regression and then all of a sudden we found ourselves spending hours a night rocking and shushing him to bed, passing him back and forth between us as our backs and arms were giving out. Once we’d put him in his bassinet, his eyes would pop open and we’d start all over. Naps were a nightmare…  With her support and expert problem solving our son can now fall asleep on his own after his bed time routine. It feels like a miracle. We couldn’t have seen it through without Marissa’s help!

— Carolyn, parent of a 7 Month old

“Sleep Wise sleep training was life changing for our family!”

We were really struggling with our 9 month old who was only taking short, 30 minute naps, and couldn’t fall asleep without us holding him. With Marissa’s help, he is now taking two 90 minute naps per day and can easily put himself to sleep. Our baby is so much happier now that he is well-rested (and so are his parents!) Marissa was so supportive, responsive and encouraging and we can’t thank you enough! 100% recommend to anyone needing sleep help!

— Sarah, parent of a 9 Month old

“The results were sustainable as well – our little one is almost a year old and still sleeping like a champ!”

From the time our daughter was 4 months old, she was waking up every 2-3 hours during the night. After a few months of this, we decided something needed to change, so we reached out to Sleep Wise when our little one was 6.5 months old. We were a little skeptical of whether we’d really see an improvement since we’d tried every piece of sleep-related advice we could find online or in a book. Within one week, she went from waking up every 2-3 hours to sleeping 12 hours straight through the night! Our sleep consultant Marissa was awesome – she was very friendly, responsive, and worked with us to make sure the sleep changes were a success!

— Lauren, parent of a 6 Month old

“We are incredibly grateful for Marissa at Sleep Wise Consulting!!”

She provided so much support and knowledge sharing during Finley’s sleep journey and we couldn’t have done it without her. I highly recommend Marissa and sleep-wise consulting to those looking to turn their baby into a good sleeper.

— Clara, parent of a 4 Month old

“I am forever grateful for Marissa.”

We found Marissa when we were desperate. Our daughter was still waking up every 1.5- 2 hours throughout the night. Marissa guided us and met us exactly where we were. She tailored everything to meet our unique needs and preferences.

— Jacklyn, parent of a 12 Month old

“Everyone is getting more sleep now and much happier!!”

Marissa was wonderful to work with! I was so nervous to start sleep training my 12 month old but with Marissa’s help, my little girl slept through the night on the very first night! Other than a hiccup or two, she’s been sleeping all through the night for about six weeks now. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

— Alex, parent of a 12 Month old

“We credit Marissa for giving us our evenings back for the last two years!”

We had such a good experience and success with Marissa G. with our first child, that we got her help from day 1 with our second baby. Marissa was so helpful throughout the 12 weeks and beyond. She was encouraging, reassuring, and so patient with us through all of it. By week 12, she had our baby sleeping through the night, which seemed impossible at first, but it worked!

— Asiya, parent of a 3 Month old

“Marissa gently, respectfully and fully understood the assignment!”

Our third girl was 8 months old when we hired Marissa and we has just moved to Africa. We had several challenges facing us and none of them phased Marissa. She was patient with our circumstances, and never wavered in our team mentality. I would not hesitate to hire her again. Her services are worth more than any amount of money. We are so grateful!

— Lindsey, parent of a 8 Month old
