Integrative Adult Sleep Coach Certification

If you’re a professional seeking advanced mentorship, refined expertise, and certification as a holistic sleep coach or sleep consultant, you’re in the right place, whether you’re specializing in sleep or expanding your work into areas such as pre-postnatal nutrition, baby planning, and holistic family support.
Our programs are designed to help you support individuals and families through a root-cause, whole-person approach to sleep: spanning pregnancy, infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, while also offering complementary training in areas such as pre-postnatal nutrition and baby planning for those looking to expand their scope of practice.
For parents navigating exhaustion, sleep challenges, pregnancy, or parenting overwhelm, we also offer guidance, education, and support through a holistic lens.
As a pioneering institute that has helped shape this field globally, we are committed to elevating the way sleep is understood and supported.

For Parents

If you’re tired of conflicting advice, struggling with sleep, navigating pregnancy or parenting transitions, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed, you’re not failing.

Here you’ll find compassionate, evidence-informed resources that support your family’s wellbeing through a holistic lens, addressing sleep, nourishment, emotional regulation, and connection, without rigid rules, fear-based messaging, or quick-fix promises.

You’ll also find optional classes and guided experiences designed to offer relief, understanding, and support during challenging seasons of parenting.
