“She did it all in a supportive and painless way"
Working with Rachel was a wonderful experience from start to finish. She put me at ease from the very first phone call and helped me feel confident that we could find a solution that worked for us. She developed a schedule that accounted for our older children’s schedules and needs and was easy to follow. The sleep plan was laid out in a very detailed, organized and concise way with great attention to the scientific reasoning behind each recommended step, which helped us to understand why the recommendations were logical and important. Rachel was always available and flexible with daily check-ins during the two week period, and helped us to fine-tune any changes that needed to be made or to troubleshoot any issues that arose. Overall I can not recommend Rachel enough. Our 6 month old went from hourly night wakeups and short, unpredictable catnaps during the day to a 6pm - 6am uninterrupted night’s sleep and 2-3 solid, predictably scheduled crib naps. I sing Rachel’s praises to anyone who will listen; she really helped our baby thrive and us to get some freedom back, and did it all in a supportive and painless way.

“We wish we had done this sooner!"
Rachel was fantastic to work with. She listened carefully and without judgment and was very thorough in understanding our specific situation. She created a sleep plan that met us where we were at, and most importantly with an approach we were all comfortable with (I was not comfortable with a 100% cry-it-out method). The support Rachel provided throughout the process was just the right amount - she was there when we had questions, but didn’t interfere with our day. Our daughter became sick in the middle of training, which was not ideal, but Rachel helped us understand how to navigate that, too.
In less than two weeks, our daughter went from being up 2-3x per night (and being nursed back to sleep), to sleeping through the night. We couldn’t be more grateful! Not only is our daughter much happier during the day, but so are Mom and Dad! We wish we had done this sooner!

“She made us feel confident in the process"
Prior to working with Rachel, our son would only do contact naps and we struggled with transferring him to his crib at night! We were running on little to no sleep as he would wake multiple times throughout the night. Rachel developed a schedule and program for us to follow which literally began working Night One! Now my son takes every nap in his crib and can put himself to sleep day and night. Having a schedule also has been so helpful in planning our day and knowing what to expect; our son thrives on it! Rachel was great to work with, from the initial consult, video call, and then following our sleep log in real time - offering encouragement and validation along the way! She made us feel confident in the process. This was absolutely life changing for all of us and we’re super grateful to have found Rachel!

“My family's experience with Rachel and her sleep training program was absolutely phenomenal"
My family's experience with Rachel and her sleep training program was absolutely phenomenal. We have 2 and 4 year old boys. Our sleep situation before meeting her was very chaotic and frustrating. We used to loathe bedtime because it seemed like it took us hours to get our kids down at nighttime! We previously co-slept with our 4 year old (in our bed) just to get some sleep. My 2 year old was going through a difficult transition with a toddler bed. No one was sleeping, and my husband and I had NO free time to ourselves in the evening. Rachel was very thorough and confident during our initial conversations. I easily put my full trust in her to guide us through the sleep training process. We very quickly implemented a new sleep routine for both boys that they pretty quickly caught on to. After about 10 days of consistent habit changes, both boys now easily go to bed without fuss or nighttime wakeups, both in their own beds! My husband and I now have free time to ourselves which has been life changing. My boys are more rested, calm, and happy during the daytime too!

“We could not be happier"
My husband and I recently worked with Rachel who helped us with our 5 month old and we could not be happier that we did. I found her to be so relatable and encouraging as a fellow mom, as well as super knowledgeable when it comes to all things sleep. We are so grateful for her help, our only regret is not doing this sooner!

“We started seeing improvements almost immediately"
Trying to get the baby down before meeting with Pine Street Sleep was really hard. His naps were super long, and we were waking him up after 2 hours thinking it would help him sleep later. We gave up on the bassinet/crib because he would wake up 30/40 minutes into his nap when we would put him down. He was sleeping in our arms, his swing, or our bed. Pretty much wherever he would give us more than a half hour. Still, he would have very long wake windows late at night and we would have to take turns watching him because he just wouldn't sleep.
After meeting with Rachel we realized we were practicing a lot of sleep myths and things could be much more consistent. Sleeping in his crib was possible and it was important we started practicing those habits right away. Rachel explained things really well, especially to a sleep deprived first time parent. We started seeing improvements almost immediately after taking Rachel's advice and applying it every day and night. This information was something they didn't teach in our baby classes and a lot of blogs have misleading information on baby sleep. Our son is now 3 months old, sleeping in his crib, 5-6 hour stretches at a normal evening bedtime. My little family is so thankful for Pine Street Sleep!

“Tailoring our sleep training program to our family’s needs and schedule"
Rachel was wonderful to work with. She took a lot of care and consideration in tailoring our sleep training program to our family's needs and schedule. When we started, our 5 month old son would only nap if being held, so we were stuck for hours at a time. In only 2 weeks time, Rachel helped us to get him to nap 3 times a day in his crib!

“She gave nuanced suggestions based on our situation"
Before working with Rachel, our daughter regressed and was unable to soothe herself back to sleep. It was such a struggle getting her down at night. After one phone consultation with Rachel, who gave nuanced suggestions based on our situation and made one slight adjustment to our daughter's daytime nap schedule, not only was our daughter the right amount of tired before bedtime, but her daytime naps were even longer! We have been thrilled with the outcome.

“Rachel…shared with us a huge amount of evidence-based sleep research and advice"
For weeks, our newborn daughter refused to sleep anywhere but on a person in the baby wrap (during the day) or in a rocking smart bassinet (at night). While this was disruptive, our main concern was that we were instilling bad habits that we wouldn’t know how to break. Rachel answered all of our many questions and shared with us a huge amount of evidence-based sleep research and advice. In addition to all of this information, Rachel gave us the sense that our daughter would be OK, and that, if we could just open ourselves up to “be curious” about her development, she might surprise us. That curiosity led us to our present day scenario, where, at three and a half months, she is now doing all of her nighttime sleep and all of her daytime naps in the (stationary) crib. Thank you, Rachel!

“She gave us the tools to help our daughter"
My 2 year old was waking up in the middle of the night, sometimes multiple times, and sometimes staying awake for up to 3 hours! She was stuck in a cycle of being overtired. Rachel helped us understand what was happening and adjust her sleep pattern to get her back on track. She worked with us to develop a plan that worked for all of us and within just a few days my toddlers sleep improved. She gave us the tools to help our daughter, not just at this moment, but for future disruptions as well!!

“We saw a difference after just one day"
We delayed sleep training our 11 month old but finally reached a point where we could tell he wanted to sleep without our assistance but didn’t know how. We found Pine Street Sleep through a recommendation and couldn’t have been happier! Rachel met us where we were, understood our concerns, and built a plan to fit our family’s needs, including how we could also involve our toddler. We saw a difference after just one day and were blown away. She was proactive and available to us throughout the process. We’re so grateful to Rachel and Pine Street Sleep for giving is the tools to support our son in learning to sleep on his own.

“She is able to sleep through the whole night and also nap time, which is something she didn’t do at all previously! "
When we started working with Rachel, our daughter was not sleeping through the night in her own bed, she would wake up every 20-30 minutes until my wife and I went to bed and then she would join us to our bed. Even after joining us in our bed we would be up all night. After working with Rachel, our daughter has come to the point where she is able to sleep through the whole night and also nap time, which is something she didn’t do at all previously!

“Working with Rachel has changed our lives for the better!"
Working with Rachel has changed our lives for the better! The bedtime routine took forever, our daughter was up multiple times during the night, and we were exhausted. Now, the bedtime routine is short and enjoyable! She’s asleep by 7:30 most nights and sleeps a solid 10-11 hours straight through to the morning. She’s a delight because she’s well-rested, so the daytime is way more fun too! Rachel was such a pleasure to work with- she listens, gives great advice, and made our sleep plan so easy to follow. Best of all, she was there for daily check-ins and encouragement. If sleep is a problem in your house, don’t wait another day trying to figure it out on your own. Hire an expert! You’ll be so glad you did! Our only regret is not hiring Rachel sooner!
