Mandeville, La.

Hi there! My name is Sarah Nelson and I am a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant on the incredible Sleep Wise Consulting team. I was born, raised and now bringing up the next generation in southeast Louisiana with my husband, David.

Book With sarah

In 2011, I finished my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from Louisiana State University and then went on to complete my Master’s of Social Work at Tulane University by the end of 2012.

Prior to taking a step back from social work to fuel my creative side with the opening of a women’s clothing boutique, my focus was on child crisis intervention and PTSD. I have always had a strong pull to the intricacies surrounding the resiliency of children, and quickly learned when I became a mother that sleepless days and nights do not have to be the norm.

In February 2022, David and I became first time parents. Not only did I struggle with postpartum anxiety, but my fixation on “when will we sleep again?” became obsessive.

 I felt so lost on where to even begin, but I knew I wanted my daughter to learn the skills of independent sleep.

In this time, I quickly realized that creating a routine that worked for Charlotte as well as my entire family and any of her caretakers was crucial. In addition, I knew that I too needed support during this time, which is where Sleep Wise Consulting came into play.

We were so thankful for the guidance in helping us teach Charlotte independent sleep skills from the very start,

 as well as the extra confidence and support I received in that extreme time of need.

As your consultant, I will provide the same.

My goal is to offer tailored, compassionate guidance as you navigate the complexities of sleep. Whether you are in the throes of newborn sleep (or, lack there of), struggling with a toddler who just won’t stay in their bed, or adjusting routines for school-aged children, I am here to support you. Parenthood is full of surprises, we can make restful sleep one less mystery to solve.
