And while there was support for other maternal challenges, birth coaches and lactation consultants, I didn’t know of anyone I could talk to about my daughter’s sleep. I had SO many questions and felt really alone in those first few months. 

While the sleep books offered advice, they didn’t offer support, encouragement or the invaluable feeling of connection with a person who can help and truly understand. 

I felt like I was second guessing myself at every turn and never knew what the right solution was. I read every sleep book, devoured what felt like the entire internet on infant sleep and went through so much trial and error.

We eventually did get our daughter to sleep through the night, but the process was grueling and not something I recommend. I thought, “There has to be an easier way.”

I went through a similar process with each of my other two children until I finally discovered the Sleep Consulting profession. I quickly became certified as a Pediatric Sleep Consultant and started helping parents all over the world with improving their family’s sleep in a way that felt aligned with their parenting style.

In 2023, I got the incredible opportunity to take over The Cradle Coach from the amazing Melissa Perry who founded it. 

Sleep is so important for your baby’s health and your mental well-being, yet no one teaches you about it. We are grateful to be a go-to place for sleep support. 

As a mother of three, I know sleep transforms the health and wellness of not only your child, but your whole family. It’s my passion to give the gift of sleep to families all over the world!

Rachel Fiorello, our Senior Sleep Consultant, has been a part of The Cradle Coach team for nearly 10 years and has personally supported well over 1,000 families in that time. She will be there to support you every step of the way as you navigate the process of improving your child's sleep!
