Your consultant
Meet Seranna
Hi, I’m Seranna! Wife, mom and Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant. I had never in my life heard of sleep consulting, let alone sleep training, until my husband and I had our first baby and we experienced the sleep deprivation that everyone had warned us about, yet somehow, nothing truly prepared us for.
After doing some research and talking to friends, we made the decision to sleep train our son. Not to be dramatic, but it was life changing. All three of us finally began sleeping through the night after many months of fractured sleep. Everyone was happier, more emotionally regulated, and for me as a new mom - I started to feel like myself again. I’m a firm believer that permanently exhausted doesn’t have to be the identity you embrace as a parent, and actually, the well rested version of yourself is the best version. And it matters just as much for littles as well, because quality sleep is when babies grow, when their brains build memory and language, and when their immune systems are strengthened.
Because our family has now been on the receiving side of sleep training and it impacted all of us in such a positive way, it led me to pursue schooling and a career in sleep consulting. I love helping families get their sleep back, with personalized, evidence based plans that teach children healthy, independent sleep skills for life.

Principles
What I believe
- Sleep is a skill, and skills can be taught
- There is no single right method, only the right method for your family.
- You should understand every step before you take it.
- Support during the hard nights matters more than the plan itself.
- Rested parents are better parents, and you deserve rest too.
Ages and stages
Who I work with
Children from 3.5 months to 7 years. Newborn schedules, the four month regression, nap transitions, early rising, bedtime battles, night wakings, toddler stalling, big kid bedrooms, and the twins and siblings that make all of it harder.
You do not need to choose between your child’s needs and your own.
