Megan Pappas
Pediatric Sleep Consultant
Arlington, Va.
Megan Pappas is a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant with Sleep Wise Consulting. She grew up in southwestern Virginia and now calls the Washington, D.C. area home, where she lives with her husband, their two rescue dogs, and often a foster pup or two as well. Megan loves the balance of city life and southern roots and finds joy in helping families discover peace and rest within their own homes.
Megan’s Experience
Megan earned her degree in Psychology from the University of Virginia and later pursued a degree in Respiratory Therapy. For more than a decade, she worked in critical care, caring for premature babies, infants, and toddlers in both the NICU and PICU. Those experiences gave her a deep understanding of child development, family dynamics, and just how essential rest is for growth and healing.
After 15 years of night shifts, Megan came to truly understand the impact of sleep on every aspect of life. She wanted to continue supporting families in a way that promoted rest, balance, and well-being—for both them and herself.
"I was optimistic about sleep training based on experiences that my other friends had with Sleep Wise. Still, I did not anticipate the phenomenal results that I got. A routine schedule, consolidated naps, and a full night’s sleep restored my family’s health, made us more attentive to our child’s needs, and gave us back time together to continue our happy marriage!"
Ariana, parent of a 3 Month old
