Rebecca Schmidt
Pediatric Sleep Consultant
Portage, Mi.
Rebecca Schmidt is a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant with the Sleep Wise Consulting team. She lives in Portage, Michigan, with her husband, Kyle, and their daughter, Kennedy. Prior to joining Sleep Wise, Rebecca was fortunate to stay home with Kennedy for the first year of her life — a season that deepened her love for motherhood and her understanding of the challenges parents face. With her husband coaching college football, their family leads a very transient lifestyle, so Rebecca quickly learned the importance of having a consistent plan at home and on the go to support her new role as a mom.
Rebecca’s Experience
Before becoming a consultant, Rebecca knew firsthand how much structure and rest can shape a family’s well-being. She has always been passionate about helping others find confidence and peace in their parenting journey. Through her work with Sleep Wise, she provides individualized support, practical strategies, and gentle encouragement to guide families toward healthy sleep routines. Rebecca loves empowering parents with the tools and knowledge they need to create calm, predictable rhythms — no matter where life takes them.
"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
Rebecca’s Sleep Story
When Kennedy was born, Rebecca thought she was prepared. She had read all the books, taken every online course, and felt ready for whatever motherhood might bring — or so she thought. It didn’t take long to realize that sleep was not only crucial for Kennedy’s development, but also for her own mental health. The emotional highs of new motherhood, combined with exhaustion, made daily life overwhelming and unpredictable.
Once Rebecca discovered Sleep Wise, everything began to change. Naps became predictable, nights grew peaceful, and she finally felt like she could breathe again. Life remained full and busy, but with a routine she could count on, the days felt lighter and more joyful. That experience inspired her to help other families find the same peace of mind — so they can enjoy more rest and more of the sweet moments of parenthood.
