You can access the course material whenever you have some free moments—lunch on the job, on the weekends, or even while you're hiding in the bathroom.

There are 3 different tiers for required practice hours, depending on your background and whether or not you join the Baby-Centered Sleep Mastermind. In this year-long program, you can continue to receive mentoring from Meredith, learn from other sleep consultants, deepen your education, grow in confidence, and build a thriving business. This program is not required, but offers advantages.

The initial investment is in the course. We offer 3 payment options, making the investment more attainable. Beyond that, your costs can be quite minimal, and we will guide you through that process. (We believe in "less is more" in starting up a business.) You control how much you invest in scaling your business, reducing financial risk.

Not at all. The program leverages the innate caregiving skills you already possess as a parent and hones them into a professional skill set. No formal qualifications are needed to make a meaningful impact.

By stepping into The Baby-Centered™ Sleep Consultant Program, you're not just buying a course—you're investing in a brighter, more fulfilling future that aligns perfectly with your family life.

I believe that women deserve to feel rested and energized, trust themselves, and feel confident as mothers. I guide them in achieving these goals by teaching them loving, healthy, and responsive sleep solutions for their infants and children, lifting and encouraging them, and helping them fine-tune their intuition.

I empower women who want to join in this important work with the skills, knowledge, and insight they need to make an unforgettable impact and change lives.

I am deeply committed to supporting the well-being of infants and children and offering customized, peaceful sleep solutions to parents (that benefit all parties).

I am always respectful and supportive of my clients' parenting styles and preferences.

I LOVE educating parents so they can connect with their little ones deeply and feel more compassion for them, accept normal sleep expectations and temperament differences, endure sleep regressions with less stress, and optimize their children's future health and well-being.

I follow a middle-ground approach in solving sleep difficulties, bridging the worlds of sleep training and attachment based/holistic approaches. Parents learn how to "foster" independent sleep with methods that feel right, support secure attachment, promote emotional intelligence, and put little ones in a relaxed state.

I believe in approaching each case with an open and flexible mind and studying each child and their needs in detail, before offering solutions. Some parents will be successful after a few minor adjustments, while others must take their time fostering independence and checking every box .

I follow the proven Baby-Centered™ Sleep system:

• Learn the ins & outs of each child's background & history

• Pay attention to what parents share (about themselves & their infant/child)

• Study the child's temperament

• Screen for sleep disorder signs & underlying health problems

• Refer parents to medical professionals as needed

• Help parents feel good & offer mindset tools

• Teach them about responsiveness & temperament

• Implement holistic sleep solutions

• Build security & object permanence

• Work on independent sleep using a Baby-Centered™ Sleep method

• Teach parents how to encourage self-settling but always meet their child's needs

• Trouble shoot remaining struggles

Of course! Many students from other countries have enrolled in our program- from the time the program launched. We will plan our group meetings around your time zone, when it's possible. Otherwise, you can watch or listen to the replay of these meetings or read transcripts or meeting summaries. Please let us know if there are other ways we can support you.

In the near future, we look forward to releasing our program in other languages!
