What my clients sayThe Sleep Sense™ Method, created by Dana Obleman in 2003, has already helped thousands of parents just like you teach their children healthy sleep habits. It is my strong belief in that system that inspired me to become a professional sleep consultant, and I look forward to helping you and your family achieve the same results that my recent clients have been enjoying. Here is what they had to say:
“We had a nightmare sleep situation with our six month old baby. As a first time mother, I had not slept in 6 months at that point in time. We were desperate. My baby was fussy due to lack of sleep, I gained 20 lbs. due to overeating from sleep exhaustion. We approached Michelle and within a week my baby was sleeping through the night! He is a much happier baby. I have lost 7 pounds in 2 months since. We are sleeping better, and I can’t thank Michelle enough for the help! She was very kind, supportive and helpful. Her response time to questions was amazing. We are all much happier!”

“It sounds silly, but I sometimes forget my baby is not a robot who will magically sleep when I do all the right things. Michelle had a lot of ideas that I would not have thought of and helped me find the sweet spot where I can progressively stretch out my baby’s nighttime feedings, AND make sure his quality of sleep is consistent. We’ve had a hard time transitioning him away from a swaddle, and now he sleeps at least 10 hours every night! It helped immensely to talk it out with someone who knows the ins and outs of baby sleep.”
Kel & Courtney, ~ 2 month old
“Michelle saved our life! Our baby started having sleep issues waking at all hours of the night, and she helped us with a plan to get her back on track. Michelle is so knowledgeable and brings a wealth of information, along with a caring, nurturing soul. Thanks to her our entire family sleeps again and we feel well rested in the morning, which I now believe is the secret to life! Highly recommend Michelle. We love her!”
Miguel & Ginette, ~ 18 month old
“We’re so grateful to have found Michelle. From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, thorough, and compassionate — all while always being on the ball and very timely with her responses. We feel very thankful to have had the opportunity to work together! Our son now loves being an active participant in his bedtime routine, can put himself back to sleep at nap time, and best of all, sleeps through the night so we can too.”

“Michelle Read Sleep Solutions made the transition from breastfeeding and co-sleeping with my 22-month-old as smooth as possible. There were nights that I felt like giving up, but with Michelle’s encouragement and personalized sleep plan, my daughter and I are both sleeping more soundly through the night in our separate beds.”
Cheyenne, ~ 22 month old
“When we first started with Michelle, our 17 month old son was waking up multiple times per night and relying on nursing to get back to sleep. Michelle was really helpful in customizing a plan that worked for our family’s schedule and individual needs. Our little guy put up quite a fight throughout the whole process, and she helped us change/adapt as needed. along the way. I don’t think we would have stuck it out had it not been for Michelle’s encouragement and constant reassurance. Ultimately, we made huge gains, but we still had a few lingering issues (early morning wake-ups) that we were struggling to iron out. Michelle offered to continue working with us rather than just cutting us off immediately which I greatly appreciated. We finally have our guy sleeping through the night and are no longer relying on night nursing. As a whole we are all more rested, which has improved everyone’s mood and overall quality of life.”

When we had our baby we decided we wanted to co-sleep. While this was so sweet we quickly learned that it made everything much harder. At 2 weeks our sleepy daughter started spending more time awake and quickly refused to be put down for naps. We found ourselves 100% contact-napping. There was no hope of giving up a feeding at night because as soon as my husband put her in our bed she woke up and would only go back to sleep nursing. We tried everything! We tried putting her down drowsy, using a swing, so many methods for putting her down while she was asleep. Nothing worked! When Poppy was 11 weeks old we decided we needed help. I talked with Michelle a few times and her warm, supportive personality ensured me that this assistance was important. Night 1 was rough, Poppy ended up in our bed. The next day we called Michelle and she helped us tweak our plan. Night 3 she slept all night in her crib and woke up 4 times. Night 4 She woke up twice. A week after we started we were having one night wake up. Having Michelle help us was HUGE in this sleep process. We especially loved her caring support and encouragement, as well as the tweaks and suggestions she made along the way. I would 100% recommend your family working with Michelle!”
“You were a GODSEND and I am SO grateful we found you and decided to work with you!”
