Pittsburgh, Pa.
Emily Freilino joined the Sleep Wise Consulting Team in 2018 and is a Senior Pediatric Sleep Consultant. In 2021, she continued her sleep education and was certified in teen and adult sleep. Emily is wholly committed to the success of every individual she works with throughout the sleep training process, which has given her a reputation of being a reliable and trusted sleep expert.
Emily’s Experience
Emily was the Outstanding Graduate for the University of Colorado’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication. After a decade working in advertising and marketing in executive leadership positions, Emily found herself pulled to pediatric sleep consulting.
While Emily works with babies and children of all ages, she has found her niche in sleep training children ages 3 and up. The goal oriented and collaborative aspects of sleep training older kids lent itself to her previous experience, and she has seen success in helping parents learn clear communication strategies to support the habits that lead to quality sleep. Emily has found that when it comes to dealing with fears and anxiety, and its impact on sleep, many parents uncover a new level of understanding and feel closer to their child after completing sleep training.
Emily specializes in CBT therapy tactics for older kids and helping older kids navigate anxiety and its impact on sleep. Emily is also proficient in ASL.
“We couldn’t have found a better sleep coach who listened to our problems/struggles and helped us overcome sleepless nights…We have a five year old now who is going to bed on his on and sleeping through the night. Thank you Emily for our families sleeping success. We are all loving our rest now!”
Ashley, parent of a 5 year old
Emily’s Sleep Story
Feeling prepared to welcome a baby and actually experiencing life with a newborn, are two very different things – as I quickly learned with my first son. The end of my maternity leave was quickly approaching and my husband and I were still struggling with multiple overnight wakings and short naps – or no naps at all. I knew I would not be able to navigate the work day and sleepless nights.
When I turned to Sleep Wise Consulting, they learned all about my family, our ideal schedule, and the struggles we were dealing with daily. The plan and support that followed were so specialized for us that we saw success within days. My son slept through the night and was napping great!
Sleep training not only eliminated our exhaustion and frustration, but we watched how our family ran so smoothly and how happy our boys were when they were getting the right amount of sleep. Watching my friends struggle like I did, gave me the motivation to get my sleep consulting certification and help other families.
