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!

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.

Sarah, mom to 6 month old

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!

Paige, mom to 16 month old

My 5.5 year old hadn’t slept through the night in 4 years. This past winter things got worse and she was taking over an hour some nights to fall asleep with me laying in her bed. She was then waking up and coming into my bed between 9:30-12 and then waking up with me before 5am. I was completely exhausted and knew she needed to sleep on her own. I contacted Rachel and got started on a sleep plan. Within 10 days my daughter was sleeping in her own bed all night. I now put her bed and have to wake her up for school in the morning. I still can’t believe it! Rachel was amazing to work with!

Katie, mom to 5 year old

Rachel has been a dream to work with! Before we started working together, we were playing “paci pong” every night and our five month old could take hours to finally fall asleep for a long stretch. With Rachel’s help building a schedule and a routine, our baby girl has become a champion sleeper!

Elana, mom to 5 month old

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! 

Kara, mom to 5 month old

We sought out help from Rachel when we became desperate to help our freshly 2 year old sleep. He required someone to lay with him for 30-90+ minutes every night before he would fall asleep, and you couldn’t leave the room before he was asleep. After you ninja crawled out of his room and shut the door without making so much as a peep, he would wake up after 2-3 hours and you again had to lay with him. Something had to give. We went into it not convinced it was going to work - he was a stubborn 2 year old after all and only had a queen bed, not a crib to contain him. However Rachel quickly pinpointed a few different issues both with the environment and with how we were approaching sleep (but never in a judgmental or condescending way). She helped us trouble shoot those while also coming up with a specific and detailed plan that would work for us and that we were comfortable with because a strict cry it out method was never something I was going to be able to do well. We started implementing it right away and within a few nights it was getting easier and easier to get him down for bed. Shortly after his nighttime sleep improved we also were able to see a noticeable difference in his naps which became more routine and consistent (Rachel helped us trouble shoot these as well). It has now been about 4 months since we worked with Rachel, our new baby has been born, and we can happily say that our toddler’s sleep is almost never an issue now. We are so grateful to Rachel and will absolutely work with her earlier this time if this baby is a tough sleeper too. Well worth the investment (which to be honest is very modest compared to some of the other sleep consultants we initially looked into).

Shelby, mom to 2 year old

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!

Devyn, mom to 3 month old

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!

Kelly, mom to 2 and 4 year olds

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!

Jessica, mom to 7 month old

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!

Marissa, mom to 5 month old

I can't recommend Rachel enough for sleep training! After completing her program, my 16-month-old daughter transitioned from sleeping 10 hours to nearly 13 or 14 hours a night. I was initially quite anxious about starting the sleep training, especially since I had co-slept with her since birth. However, Rachel's approach was incredibly supportive. Instead of just providing a rigid schedule, she worked closely with us for two weeks, addressing any questions or concerns we had along the way. Her guidance eased my anxiety, and now my daughter can fall asleep independently. It's been such a relief for both of us!

Madu, mom to 16 month old

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!

Boaz, dad to 2.5 year old

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.

Ilana, mom to 11 month old

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!!

Megan, mom to 2 year old

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!

Miriam, mom to 3 month old

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.

Jessica, mom to 17 month old

We are so thankful for all the help and support you gave us. Before we started both my baby and I weren’t getting any sleep, I was hardly functioning as a mom. After a few days of working with you he started falling asleep on his own and only waking up once. It made a world of a difference for both of us in the best way. We also noticed that he was a happier baby and was more mobile since he had the energy to move around because he was sleeping properly.

Mushky, mom to 8 month old

Working with Rachel was one of the best choices we have made as first time parents. Our baby was taking contact naps exclusively, protesting sleep in the bassinet, and waking multiple times at night. Rachel helped us figure out an appropriate sleep schedule for our baby and we think that was the key to unlocking baby’s amazing sleep skills. Baby is sleeping for longer stretches (12+ hours at night!), getting better nighttime sleep, taking solid naps, and feeling comfortable in the crib. Our awake time is now happier and more playful! As parents, we are better rested and less stressed knowing that our baby is getting as much sleep as they need. We have time to spend with each other and time to take care of ourselves and household needs, all of which was challenging previously with a baby who only slept on us. We are so glad baby is getting quality and safe sleep, so proud of our baby for developing sleep skills so quickly, and so thankful Rachel could help us cut through all the Internet chatter and develop a plan that worked for our family.

Christine, mom to 5 month old

Working with Rachel was so easy and truly transformative for our family. Honestly, I was skeptical that our son could be tuned into a great sleeper and I did not want to just let him cry. We had tried many things already and it seemed we just had to keep waiting for the magical good sleep to arrive. But we were so tired, we gave it one more try and I am so glad we did. Rachel was very understanding, provided very thorough and detailed instructions, was responsive to questions and truly passionate about wanting to help our family get better sleep. Rachel gave us options so we could decide what we were comfortable with, and gave us ideas that we had not considered before. And the process turned out to be easier than I expected. Our son is sleeping very well in his crib and we all have more energy - well worth the investment and effort! Thank you, Rachel!

Yelena, mom to 2.5 year old

We had been struggling with sleep for 2 years, every since our daughter climbed out of her crib. We had just about thrown in the towel thinking it was too late to try to change things. Rachel has saved our sanity. We appreciated the thorough intake form, and our Zoom consult felt like she really had taken the time to review our information and discuss options for us. It was so helpful to feel validation and have help daily in our process. She has sleep through the night without any night wakings and in her own bed the last 5 nights in a row - that has not happened since she was a baby in her crib! Thank you Rachel.

Kristen, mom to 4 year old

Our little one has been a troubled sleeper since birth. It was 8 long months of disrupted co-sleeping. We only wish we had hired Rachel sooner. Out baby is sleeping so much better, finally independently, and I’ve gained so much time and energy to focus on myself and my family. I cannot recommend Rachel enough!

Ashley, mom to 8 month old

Prior to working with Rachel my daughter was calling all the shots at night! She was not putting herself to sleep, constantly waking to nurse, and we were bit exhausted. Things now are going amazing. She goes to sleep in her crib in her nursery with little to no protesting! She sleeps through the night and only wakes briefly but then soothes herself back to sleep. Working with Rachel was life changing. I can put my daughter to sleep and get things down around the house before going to bed myself! I sleep 100 times better now that she is in her crib!

Jennie, mom to 11 month old

Before working with Rachel, we struggled with getting our baby down for naps and bedtime, and every day was unpredictable which caused a lot of stress! After our two weeks of working together, our baby is able to regularly put himself to sleep independently, making nap time and bedtime so much better. Our baby is happier throughout the day thanks to the good sleep he is getting!
