Sleep Sense™ Certified Consultant
About Me
Hi! My name is Michelle Read. I am a certified Sleep Sense Consultant and mother of two grown boys.
I can well remember the struggles I had especially with my firstborn. He cried a lot and every time he did, I fed him. It’s a wonder he didn’t pop from being overfed! I also remember standing over the crib holding the pacifier in his mouth, praying that he would just fall back asleep. Those early days were hard and because I was not getting adequate rest, I felt overwhelmed most of the time. But what I have learned over the years is that it doesn’t have to be that way. Your child can learn to sleep well and independently!
I was an elementary school teacher for over 24 years and realized soon after that I wanted to still work with children, somehow. I have been a nanny, a tutor and a night nanny for newborns. As I work with the parents of little ones, they continue to ask me, “How can we get our baby to sleep better and longer?” So, I researched answers to those questions and learned there is a whole science to baby sleep and that I could become a pediatric sleep consultant.
I am passionate about helping tired parents and their babies get better sleep. Let me help you on this journey!
