Wow! I am simply amazed at what this course all covers and how much information I learned from Lauren and all of the experts included. This course is about so much more than just baby sleep! My own parenting is forever changed and I am so grateful that I get to be a part of spreading and sharing all of my learnings with my future clients.
I’m so thankful for the quality of information in this course. There are SO many incredible experts who have come together to truly give you everything you need from every angle to serve families well as a holistic sleep specialist. Lauren has poured her heart and more into this course and it shows. I don’t know of anything else like it! The world needs more people spreading this message.
I have learned so much and I have loved everything in this certification. It has helped me to become a better parent and to understand my kids a lot more. I loved the focus on attachment it is something that I enjoyed learning and that I love to share with the families I have helped. All the information is very valuable and Lauren is amazing!
As a parent I have had to piece together bits of information that line up. This course puts everything you need to know in one place and properly equips you with top research for child development. It's about so much more than sleep - and that is what makes it superior!
I worked with a Baby-Led Sleep and Well-Being specialist for my son's sleep challenges and was super intrigued by the approach, so I decided to take the leap and get certified myself . It was worth every penny, and I am so thankful to Lauren for putting together such a comprehensive program. It has truly been life-changing!
I am in the final stages of completing this certification and am so thankful that I took the plunge! There have been so many beneficial ‘aha’ moments that are already affecting my personal life as a new mom and my professional life as an occupational therapist. Each module has kept me engaged and has provided me with new take-aways to enrich my parenting and my profession! So thankful!
I cannot express how much this course has not only helped me start something that I am so passionate about with a business but also helped me with my own two boys who are 1 and 3. Lauren’s beautiful course was above and beyond of what I expected!❤️ there’s so much info and knowledge from various people. I am forever grateful for this experience! 🫶💗💗
This course changed my life. It gave me scientific evidence, cultural context, evolutionary history & neurobiological/emotional rationale for why babies need sleep support from responsive caregivers. Even though I am new to the field, I know I am providing excellent care, information, and advice. I truly believe that courses like this, educating women like me & you, are how we change the world.
I followed the independent study course and I am so happy I did this. The course is filled with everything I wanted to know about sleep, development, attachment, red flags, and more. I feel secure starting my own business now. There are so many experts sharing their information. Lauren is amazing, so kind and very professional.
I have enjoyed this course so much. First of all, it is full of useful information not only about sleep but also about feeding, psychological aspects, children’s personalities and as a lactation specialist, I highly appreciate that it is breastfeeding friendly and does not put breastfeeding aside. It has been a starting point for me and opened the doors for me. Definitely recommend!
Signing up for this certification has been one of the best things I have ever done. This course went above and beyond my expectations in terms of how comprehensive it is and how it covers so many different topics in-depth.

I can without a doubt say that I extremely enjoyed it, would highly recommend it and that I am absolutely grateful I got to be a part of it!
This information is critical to anyone that works in the realm of supporting families. I was personally moved in big ways by the content about supporting emotion, the importance of play, and info from the OT perspective. If you are new to this info James Mckenna is also incredibly foundational. This content has not only made me a better provider but a better parent. I would give this more stars!
Having already followed other courses within this topic, I can say this one finally thicked all the boxes. I loved that topics such as emotions, attachment and underlying medical issues for disturbed sleep were discussed in such detail in this all-encompassing course. I am beyond grateful and I now feel confident enough to start supporting families myself and start building my own business.
I am so grateful to have completed this certification program, as it has not only deepened my understanding of sleep science but also child development. I started this course at a time when I was struggling a lot with my twins’ sleep, and it helped me realize the uniqueness of each baby and the importance of tailoring my approach to their individual needs. Thank you Lauren for all your hard work!
I feel really grateful to had the opportunity to take this course I truly believe infant sleep is a complex and delicate process that we must first understand in order to help in the most friendly and loving way possible This course allows you to learn from the scientific bases to the natural process of attachment, respecting the natural rhythm to accompany the child. Thank you
I started this course as a brand new mom, with an infant that cried whenever he was awake - and never slept. This certification program is made for busy moms. Self paced, with transcripts, material broken down into easily consumable modules, and all of the content that you could possibly want. Not only am I prepared to start my business, my entire perspective on parenting has shifted.
I am honoured to have had the chance to undertake this certification. The content exceeded my expectations and I feel more than equipped to holistically support families going forward. Not only will this knowledge support me professionally but it has further deepened my knowledge as a mother and allowed me to understand my own children better. Completing this course was an absolute joy.
This course has validated me as a parent and a professional. I loved every chapter and I cannot wait to utilize the information to empower other mothers to follow their instincts while parenting. Thank you so much Lauren for creating such a transformative approach AND sharing with us.
This course is really complete and you will understand sleep through attachement, emotions, breastfeeding, parenting, nutrition, birth and so much more! I am so honoured to had the chance to listen so many experts on those different subjects! It changed the way I am working and the way I am parenting as well! THANK YOU Lauren for all the the work you did to build this amazing course!
I'm so grateful I've been able to follow this course. It's been build up so beautifully and with such expertise. Lauren has invited so many amazing experts in their field from around the globe. I felt honoured to listen to their classes. This course is so complete. From attachment, parenting, trauma, play, food, breastfeeding... to building your business with all the tools needed to succeed
This course was really eye opening & transformational for my business. I feel I am now able to better serve my clients in all aspects with the knowledge I have gained throughout the course. I also learned so much that I have begun implementing in my parenting & helping to understand my own children’s sleep & emotional needs.
This course was so much more than I could have anticipated. All the content from the various modules came together like pieces of a puzzle, building my confidence to support caregivers not only with sleep challenges but with parenting in general. I so appreciate how the information was organized and how the modules built on one another. The resources included are fantastic! Highly recommend!
I found the Baby Led Sleep Approach and it was in complete alignment with my understanding of infant and toddler sleep as well as my parenting style. It helped me understand my children better and increased my confident as a mom. I would love for others to experience it as well.
When I signed up for this course I didn't realize how nuanced every ounce of it would be. I'm so glad I've been able to move through this course at a rate that allows me to really take it all in. Lauren does an incredible job of walking us through step by step and offering outside resources along the way! Thanks to this course I feel prepared to support and move forward within my work!
This is the best course I have ever come across so far for sleep! As a nanny and eventually future mama, this course has taught me so much so far about infant/ toddler sleep in a holistic approach! I can’t wait to help more families with their littles with these tools! Thank you so much Lauren for creating this masterpiece of a course! 😁
Life-changing. I had been dreaming about taking this course for a couple of years and I'm so glad I finally made the investment. It has changed the way I parent and teach (so much of it I wish would be taught to educators!), for the better...and has given me the confidence and the tools necessary to turn this passion into a side/part-time job that I've been yearning for. Thank you Lauren!
I loved this course! It has lots of information, all of which has a scientific foundation. It is explained clearly for those who are not keen to read a publication but with all the bibliography it is possible to access easily to the original papers and read them. The course is well organized following a logic on why some things are explained before others. Loved all the contributors too!
The baby-led sleep and wellbeing course is what every person working with families needs. It is comprehensive, all-encompassing and Lauren has put her heart and soul into making this an eye opening experience for the learner. If every parent had access to this information, organized so nicely as it is, our world would become a better place.
As a first time mom, I felt so frustrated by my son's sleep but I knew I never wanted to sleep train. I started doing my own research on alternatives and came across Lauren's sleep course. I was a bit hesitant to make such an investment but it 100% was worth it! It has made me really reflect on my parenting and offered SO much insight to my son's sleep. Lauren and her course are amazing!
What I found most unique about this course is Lauren and her ability to share so graciously and authentically her experiences as a sleep and well-being specialist, a mother, and a woman. In my experience of studying for many years, finding an educator that gives so much of themselves in a helpful and inspirational way is very rare! I loved every minute of this comprehensive and holistic course!
I am so glad I did this course. It has validated my parenting choices and also allowed a pathway to assist mothers as a midwife and neonatal nurse. The course covers everything you need to know to be able to provide holistic care to parents and point them in the right direction, by following their instincts and avoiding misinformation that is profound in this day and age. Highly recommend!
I've always been a firm believer that we all know how to sleep and that's it's not a skill to be learned. There are things that can help up sleep or hinder sleep and I love that this course explores that and helps teach us how to help others improve their child's sleep (and maybe their own!). I'm super excited for this course and I cannot wait to start bringing this information to more families!
The information and teachings in this course exceeded my expectations! It is thorough, comprehensive, and truly an all-encompassing take on infant sleep. Upon receiving my certification, I felt well prepared and confident in my ability to support families. Even with a background in CYC and ECE, this course has had a profound impact on my own parenting as well!
I came here to learn more about baby sleep. I got out with so much more. Lauren approach feels right, is attachment focused, and SO interesting. I loved every week of it. Implementing it right away in my practice as a midwife. Thank you Lauren !
This course was so well rounded and truly looks at all aspects of infant and toddler sleep. It really is life changing and goes into great depth about all topics that you should be well versed in when supporting families with sleep. After completing this course I feel so confident and capable moving forward to work with families.
This course is truly amazing and so comprehensive. Even for someone with a background in early childhood development, this course has taught me so much. It was life-changing both in the information it provided and the opportunities it brought forth for me professionally. I highly recommend it!
With this course it was as if I landed exactly in a group of women that approaches motherhood and infant sleep from a motherled perspective. I felt empowered within myself to be amongst them. I now have many tools and lots of knowledge under my belt that will help me personally in my motherhood journey, and also pass on this wisdom to families who seek it. I loved every bit of this course.
I enjoyed every second of this course. I loved that I was able to do it from the comfort of my home. Even if I don't make a dime, I feel I'm a better mother! With this certification, I'm hoping to be a SAHM forever! I'm so happy to be a part of this beautiful community and help mothers put joy back into motherhood. Thank you so much, Lauren!
This course has changed the way I look at normal baby sleep and development. It has completely changed the way I parent my son which is worth it in and of itself. I am beyond excited to bring the knowledge I have gained to other families to allow them to enjoy these early years with their little ones.
This course has changed everything I thought I knew about raising children, not just about sleep. It has been an amazing experience and has brought so much valuable information into our lives. I can't wait to share this knowledge to more parents, hopefully we will manage to change how we, as a society, view children and babies.
This course exceeded all my expectations. Achieving better sleep without sleep training was already a huge passion of mine so when it came time to start working again after having my second daughter, I knew I wanted to shift careers. Finding this course was exactly what I was looking for and more; it has helped me become a better mom AND feel confident to start supporting others. Thank you!!
I loved the research based nature of this course, it helped me to improve my attitude towards infant sleep with my own child and gave me the opportunity to also help others and start a new career from home. Thanks Lauren! Well worth doing if you are looking to start a new career helping others! 🙂 Kelly - @hushabye.bay
This course is one of the best infant sleep courses I've taken! This course provides you with much information and knowledge about sleep and wellness. It took me a year to finish it because there was so much information to process, but I loved every second of the course. It has helped me to be able to better assist my clients in getting to the root of little one's sleep.
Thank you Lauren.! You delivered above & beyond with this course. It took me a while to find the time to finish it and wow you just kept updating and adding. There is SO much information, from such masterminds and internationally renowned experts. It has changed the way I parent and it has changed my career. I can not recommend it enough! This information NEEDS to spread asap. Love! Anouk
I'm a lactation specialist and sleep challenges were a part of my day to day with my patients, I wanted to be able to help them myself, since they were reaching out to sleep coaches who sometimes would give advice that was affecting their feeding journey. Most of the courses I found would have some way of sleep training and I finally found Lauren's course! IT WAS PERFECT, EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED <3
As an early childhood professional, I specialise in behaviour and development. My experience has been in the context of early learning environments so ideas around young children's sleep were limited in my study and training. This course was SO MUCH more than I could of expected, I feel confident, empowered and EDUCATED. So many lead thinkers embedded through the content! Couldn't recommend more
This course exceeded my expectations. I learned so much important and valuable information as a mom and as a specialist to help other families. I am so glad I took the leap and went through with the course. The information I learned changed my life forever in such a positive and meaningful way!
This certification is so thorough! I came out of it with so much more knowledge on normal infant sleep and my eyes were also opened to seeing health in a more holistic way. Lauren has so much passion for sharing this information and she generously does this alongside the many incredible experts. I highly recommend this certification!
I have nothing but great things to say about this certification. Lauren's passion about the subject matter really shines, the whole way through! I have learned so much that I can use in my career, as well as my personal life as a mom. It goes well beyond sleep, and was so much more than I ever expected. I'm so grateful for this opportunity, as well as all of my new knowledge.
This course was more than I expected it to be. Not only have I found my passion in a new career in Baby-led sleep, but this has helped me in my personal life with my own children! I love how thorough the modules are, the wealth of information available, the various experts that provide their own knowledge and all of the valuable information on starting a business. Definitely changed my life.
Lauren has created something truly magical with this course. This community empowers mothers around the world to follow their instinct to parent their unique child. Left behind are outdated societal parenting methods, replaced by an understanding of neurological development rooted in connection. The course has changed my life, as a mother and a human. I am forever grateful I took the leap!
This course is truly life-changing. I signed up for this course wanting help with my daughter's sleep and I walked away with so much more. I am a better parent because of it and I know my daughter's life will be better for it. I also feel I have the skills to build a business that helps others and also allows me greater freedom to build the family and life that I want.
I wish all parents were required to take this course! Not only has this changed my life as a mother, but this course has helped me build a small business supporting other families. Gaining this certification has allowed me to grow confidence as a mother but also empower other mothers who want to honor their children’s need for connection and nurturing. Truly recommend this course, times a million!
This course aligned with my holistic and gentle parenting approach. It shifted my expectations of what a baby should have been doing and allowed me to reprogram what was "normal" and not "normal". I felt empowered to trust that parents know their baby best, and to advocate for what feels natural to them. I look forward to helping other families with this more gentle approach to sleep & parenting.
I cannot give enough gratitude and praise for what Lauren has provided in this course. Being a first time mum I learnt things that I had never thought of or knew I needed to be aware of. She has opened up how I connect and hold space for my family and how I have moved through matrescence.
I am a different person before and after learning the content of this course. Not only has it provided me with a new career, but it has changed the way that I parent, and the way that I view myself & my children. There has been a beautiful ripple effect. I only wish that I had taken this course sooner! It has changed my life and I am forever grateful to Lauren for developing this.
Thank you Lauren for everything you do. This incredible course you have created is one of the most comprehensive and educational courses I have completed. It has truly changed how I support families. I would highly recommend this course to anyone already engaged working with families or to anyone thinking about supporting families. As a MCHN + Midwife I am blown away with what I have learnt.
I really loved all the content of this course. I learned so much and it transformed my parenting experience. I feel well equipped to support families and also to start my business. The business section is very useful and comprehensive.
I am an licensed/registered Occupational Therapist. Never have I completed a CE course that has left me feeling this empowered and enlightened. Lauren is beyond knowledgeable. She has created a powerful team of educators and resources. I truly feel that, by completing this course, I am now free to fully embrace the best version of myself as, mom and healthcare provider.
If your are looking for a course to become a Sleep Consultant, this is not for you. This course is beyond any Sleep Registration can offer you.

This course validated everything I have instinctively known about working with baby’s ( as well as my own) It’s giving me resources, language , studies .. etc to be able to work with families and justify my methods. I implore professionals to study this content , because it’s essential to give families biologically normal sleep and attachment . A peaceful life starts at birth.
This course is full of so much information. I've been working in the field of early intervention for 26 years and wished I had taken this course years ago. It has given me so much to add to my practice and of course if I want to start my our practice. Thank you Lauren for all the work and dedication you put into the program.
Finding this course not only changed my career for the better; but it has totally changed me as a Mom and Wife. Feeling validated in my parenting choices and beliefs and empowered to follow my instincts is invaluable. I am truly grateful for the knowledge, and evidence shared in this course that I can now share with the families I will work with. I have truly found a job that is my passion.
This course has truly changed my life. Every family should have access to and understand true information around biologically normal infant and toddler sleep. It has transformed my relationship with my daughter and empowered me to help other families. The attachment focused approach is what every family needs.
I took this course thinking I would open my own business but instead it gave me the confidence to apply for a job I knew I was perfect for! I’ve been working for Famille et petite enfance in NB for only a month and I feel right at home. They have the same quantities and philosophies as this course which is perfect for me! I really hope I can help families feel more confident and empowered as well
The course made my natural instincts feel "seen", that it's not only ok to embrace the natural way of parenting, it's what's needed in the world. And that there is a huge community that feels the same way. If you're looking to grow, become braver, and radically deepen your relationship with yourself, your children and your family, you have come to the right place. This work is so needed.
I would like to thank you very much for a great course. Thanks to him, I learned much more than anywhere else. My help to my parents moved a few levels further. I am grateful to have come across you and had the opportunity to study the course. My study of sleep does not end and I will return to the course. Thanks to you, my library has expanded by several dozen new books!

Whether you are interested in this course for personal or professional reasons, you will find it life-changing, affirming, and healing.
I loved getting to know so many aspects of sleep that I can now incorporate into my practice both as a PT and as a baby-led sleep specialist.

This course has exceeded all expectation. It is thorough, based on scientific knowledge and studies. This knowledge is empowering and i feel blessed that I can share this with others! I feel that we are getting all the tools needed and more.
Lauren’s course was incredible, and life changing. Learning so much about attachment and emotion is something that will stay with me throughout my lifetime, has changed my parenting radically, and absolutely impacts my view and understanding of infant sleep. So thankful so created this course and we get to learn from her not only about this things but also about starting our own businesses!

Not only do I feel confident in starting a new career, it has completely changed my life as a parent as well. There is a lot to cover, and Lauren has provided us with so many different resources and experts to learn from. It's amazing! Thank you Lauren!
There is an answer for every question in this course. You are not only learning from Lauren, who is the most genuine individual, but you are learning from a community of infant and child experts. The focus on development and attachment gives you the perspective you need to engage and support families, but also to feel confident in doing the work in your own home. Bonus material is added often.
I am unbelievably thankful that I stumbled upon Lauren's work. After scouring the internet, this certification was the one able to complete my Sleep Physiology Ph.D. experience. It gave me the additional perspective to become even better at supporting families. This course actually provides information and skills. But more importantly, you will join a unique and caring community.
I can't say enough about this course! It truly transformed my relationship to my son, my parenting mindset, and now my prospects as a business owner. There is so much knowledge shared here that I believe EVERY single parent should be educated on, and I'm saddened that we are not taught this stuff in the mainstream infant sleep culture. Truly a gift to take this course!
This is the type of course you take where you will not be the same person you were before you took it. This course is so brilliantly designed that it will shift the way you parent, educate, care-give, etc for the better. Lauren has done an amazing job creating a comprehensive course that includes experts in a multitude of fields of pediatric health and buisness. Just go for it!!
This course is truly life changing and has absolutely changed my work as an occupational therapist. The content not only makes sense from a scientific perspective, but also from an instinctual one. The holistic approach captures all aspects of family life that can impact infant sleep, and enables those who complete the certification to provide truly informed support to their clients.
I loved Laurens course so much. It gave me everything I needed to confidently start my business. I got inspired in so many ways. And the best of all: Investing in this course transformed my relationship to my son. I love being a mama and I feel so called to help more first time moms out there who are anxious, stressed and have lost access to their intuition. Thanks Lauren for everything!♥️
I have loved learning from Lauren and all the specialists she has called on the course. The information is so wide and varied, with all the resources to read and the videos to watch.
