Becoming a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant
What IS a Sleep Consultant and what does it entail?
A Pediatric Sleep Consultant (AKA Baby & Toddler Sleep Coach) is a dedicated professional who specializes in assisting families with children facing sleep-related challenges.
Child sleep coaches bring together a blend of knowledge, empathy, and practical strategies to help children achieve healthier sleep patterns. They work closely with parents to understand the specific needs and behaviors of their child, offering personalized guidance and support to address their little one's sleep issues-- such as bedtime resistance, night wakings, nap struggles, big transitions, and overall sleep-related behavioral problems.
Does this sound interesting to you?
The Sleep Coach Path
Ask yourself: "Do I love helping others?" "Am I good with people?" "Am I passionate about mental health?" If the answer is a resounding yes, then rest assured (pun intended) then after your certification, you will be changing families' lives for the better!
Research published in the journal Pediatrics estimated that approximately 25% to 30% of infants and toddlers experience some form of sleep problem, such as, difficulty falling asleep, night waking, or short sleep duration, resulting in hundreds of millions of tired families. This means over a quarter of parents are struggling to function with sleep deprivation. Translation: Parents with little ones desperately need your help!
On top of assisting families emotionally, mentally, and physically get more sleep, you will also develop the unique skills needed to build a successful business. We don't just educate you, we give you the tools to develop a thriving business of your own.
Worried about credentials? Don't be. There are no prerequisites to becoming a certified pediatric sleep coach. Whether you have a background in a related field as a doula, lactation child care, or something else, or you simply have the innate passion and drive to help families thrive in parenthood, we will provide you with the specialized skills for every sleep situation, from behavioral protesting to biological sleep challenges.
Imagine...

You will be able to build a profitable business doing something that you love (with low upfront cost)

How much can I make as a Certified Pediatric Sleep Coach?
Did you know most sleep coaches can make around $1,000-$5,000 a month in the first year?
A lot of what you get back depends on how much you put in to your new career path. Many graduates are averaging 10-20 clients a month. Their starting fee for a single consultation is $350-$500, or up to $10,000 per month, with one-time consultations costing as much as $175 per 30-minute call. But you can decide what feels right for you. It's your business, after all. With certification tuition starting at $599 per month, it's easy to break even in the first month!
The sky is truly the limit! With our Sleep Coaching Business, we made $250,000 helping families around the world in the first year.

Hey, I'm Mica!
I'm Michaella, but you can call me Mica. I am the co-founder of Rested Mama, Happy Baby, mom of 2, and a successful business owner who (with Chelsae) generated a six-figure business in just the first year of business, to nearly half a million dollars by year two as a sleep coach. I am triple certified with a passion for leading families and building strong business foundations with my background in business development and marketing.
MEET ONE OF YOUR MENTORS

I’m the other proud mama behind Rested Mama, Happy Baby. Previously, you could find me teaching elementary school & special education. As Mica mentioned, we created a unique pediatric sleep coaching business that has generated near half a million dollars in the first 2 years, but more importantly, helped over 2,000 families in the last 2 years alone. My super power of creating a great client experience is something I can't wait to share with you.
