Jackie said this about us...
"What you’ll learn with Mica and Chelsae you truly won’t find anywhere else. I was previously certified when joining their team, but quickly realized I still had SO much more to learn when it came to gentle sleep training, managing clients, and what it takes to make a sleep coaching business actually thrive.
Katie said this about us...
"As a sleep coach, my ultimate goal is to meet the families where they’re at and provide them education, tools, and resources. With the Association Fading Method, I am able to do just that. Using this approach has helped me empower families to tune in to their child, to embrace their child’s unique temperament, and to learn how they can support their child through new situations (which can sometimes feel daunting as a parent!). My approach supporting families has deepened because of the Association Fading Method.."
