MEET YOUR TRAINER
Hi, I'm Patience
Want to work with the OG sleep coach in the US?
Twenty years ago I left my job as a preschool teacher and began my business as a parenting coach.
"Will parents really pay for classes and a coach?" I was asked all the time.
I answered "Yes!" I told them it would be like Childbirth Education. It took 20 years and parent coaching, especially sleep coaching, is now a booming industry.
Yet, the problem remains the same.
Most of what all the Sleep Certification Programs teach is on how to sleep train.
Sleep training is the not what parents or professional need to know.
You need to understand the systems that control sleep. How they develop and how they are impacted by the other systems.
Now after 20 years it's time for me to train the next generation of coaches.
You're going to learn about sleep so you can be flexible and dynamic in the support you provide.
You'll be able to meet every family's unique needs.
You'll also be able to brag that you were trained by the best!
Yes, I want to be trained by the best!Schedule
