Hi there!
I was a tired mom, too
and sleep training changed my life
These days you can find me at my desk in my office, which used to be a single car garage, but my van didn't fit!
​
You can also find me doing outings with my kids, because well, I'm not a homebody!
Once or twice a week, I show up at the hospital and work as a labour and delivery nurse!
People recognize me by my curly hair, and when I straighten it, it confuses everybody!
This was especially funny when my kids were babies!
People refer to me as 'Mel', 'mom' or 'babe'. (husband calls me 'babe' of course)
​
I love serving the world by encouraging them, lending a helping hand, and by serving my faith community.
The things I'm most passionate about in life are learning how to take care of myself after birthing two children, raising good humans, working as a nurse and running a business.
These days, I'm loving weightlifting and learning how to jump rope (again).
Who I Love Working With
I work with tired families who need help with getting their child to sleep well.
​
They've done some research, maybe tried a few things and haven't found lasting success.
Or maybe they had no idea that you could teach your baby to sleep well, and a friend shared some hope with them.
​
But one thing my clients all have, is a desire for change, and a willingness to trust.
I'm lucky to have families trust me, to invite me into their personal struggles around sleep, and to allow me to teach them, guide them to better sleep.
As a sleep consultant, I've been a regular at Mommy Connections Calgary as a presenter and helping out with their many fun events.
​
You can find me on recommendations pamphlets at many local pediatricians' offices and at some local mom and baby shops.
​
You'll also find some articles I've written in the Birthing Magazine, and in Calgary's Child Magazine.
When I'm not busy working on my Instagram Reels, you can catch me:
-
Decluttering my house
-
Crying over my kids' newborn onesies
-
Coming up with home projects
-
Listening to YouTube videos about the stock market
-
Looking at the price of plane tickets to my next destination
If you're dying to hear more, here are five things you might not know about me:
So here goes!
-
I have seven siblings! I'm #2! Though I never lived with my older brother and so I definitely act like a first born!
-
I speak French fluently
-
I cried when I saw my first live birth and my patient was the sweetest mom ever!
-
I've caught seven babies so far in my nursing career
-
I didn't start drinking coffee until March 2020 (go figure)

Let's take a quick look back at how this 'Sleep Consulting' business came about...
2016
I had my first daughter in the spring of 2016, and I hadn't known sleep deprivation like in those first few months of motherhood.
​
When she hit the 4-month regression, I had also hit my rock bottom.
​
My mental and physical health, and my relationship was suffering.
​
My memory was poor, my emotional regulation was non-existent and we weren't sure if our relationship was going to survive.
​
{Something had to change}
September 2016
We decided to do some sleep training with my daughter.
​
Thankfully, a friend had shared some resources with me, and I cried as a read the PDF.
​
I KNEW that this was what I needed to do, it's what I needed, and what my baby needed.
​
She did so well, and I was forever changed!
2018
Then I started to get emails....
There was an opportunity to do 'this' as a business.
{ Do 'what' I asked? }
"Work 1:1 with families to teach them how to get their child to sleep"
Whoa.
That's a thing?
Yes, yes it is.
(See some of the families below that I've helped over the years)
Since 2018, 200+ families have trusted me, and the process, to help their family get more sleep.
Are you ready for more sleep?
