With Tyler sleeping less than 6 hours with 2 to 5 nighttime wake ups before consulting, his family could only squeeze in a mere less than 5 hours of rest on average! After sleep training, Tyler managed to up his sleep to 9 to 10 hours with only 1 to 2 nighttime wake ups. It his also great that his family now manages to get 7 to 8 hours sleep. Mum says, “Tyler is having deeper and longer sleep. He is happier, more energetic, content, and doing better at ABA. I am so much happier and less stressed. Tyler is also much happier and content, not getting upset because he is overtired. I loved how Melissa’s program was run at our pace and completely customized to Tyler’s needs. For me, the best thing about working with Melissa is how easy she was to talk to with no judgements, and how quickly she responded to questions. I loved everything about the program! For parents with children that have sleep problems, I’d tell them to invest in sleep training. It is the best thing you will ever do for both you and your child.

Ethan’s family were overjoyed when he could finally get an average of 9 to 10 hours of sleep following the Special Needs Sleep Program. Previously, Ethan would wake up multiple times a night and just wasn’t getting the quality sleep he needed. Within a month of sleep training, Ethan was able to fall asleep independently with ZERO night wake-ups. Mom and dad now can get their 8+ hours of sleep, too! “We are so grateful for the gift of Melissa in our life! Within two weeks of beginning sleep training. Ethan is much more well rested and resilient when emotional challenges arise. He would have 2-3 long melt-downs a day before sleep training, lasting 20 minutes or longer. The melt-downs required adult intervention and the use of a visual to help him identify his emotions and a coping tool. We haven’t had to use the chart in MONTHS because he has NO melt-downs. Ethan’s personality has really begun to blossom since being more well-rested. We get to see his humor much more often. His teacher says he is “bursting with ideas” at school too. We really resonated with Melissa’s approach and personality. We felt like we could connect with her and she was really a cheerleader for “Team Ethan”. We would recommend Melissa’s support to other parents whose special needs children are having sleep issues.”

I lived for 6 years with just a hope of seeing my 6 years old child sleep through the night. Before the sleeping program, I never slept a single night without waking up every 2 hours by my child’s request of water, food or company. Of course I had to ask for help of my mom and aunts, but for them it was also a sleepless night. One of the first things I learned with the program is that it was all about habits, really bad habits, I had helped him to acquire through the years, making me, the water and the 4am snack the most important thing he needed to sleep. With determination I started this challenge… I did not break any rule and achieved every goal for every day. He adapted to the sleeping routine very easily and mastered the art of falling asleep without props. I can only thank Melissa for her support during this challenge, her coaching through the weeks was perfect and the program is superb for those parents who don’t see the light in the dark, sleepless tunnel. I am a happy mom who enjoys a good night sleep while knowing my child is sleeping too! Muchas Gracias!

”She is way more active during the day now. Her endurance in physical activities has improved. Isla even looks well rested! We are enjoying our time together during the day homeschooling and being physically active.” She has even made daily improvements in her “speech and energy!” She started “asking for snacks less, going to bed very easily. We enjoy our time before bed now and it has turned into a really nice bonding time for our family at the end of the day. With a solid plan and consistency your child will start to sleep better. Drop everything and do Melissa’s program — it will benefit your entire family.”

I have found 1-2 hours of evening time for myself that I use to have to lie down with Isaac to get him to sleep. I can trust someone else to put Isaac to sleep now and practice the “routine” we developed. Isaac is sleeping better at night, too! He doesn’t cry as much during the day, he use to cry for everything and demand mom. This helped him become a little more independent during the day. Make a decision and commit to getting some help, don’t waiver in your decision or doubt the results. Stay confident and press on no matter what. Have a goal in mind and you will get there!

I SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT! She eats much better during the day now that she’s not drinking milk in her bottle all night. I would highly recommend [to parents] they contact Melissa. Melissa put into place structures that help focus us so that we can help our child…you really did everything we hoped you would!

From 8 to 9 hours of sleep a night before sleep consulting to 11 to 12 hours of blissful sleep. That’s what Milo experienced and his family is ecstatic about managing to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep up from the previous 5 to 6 hours. This is what mom had to say, “Milo doesn’t fight us anymore. He understands when it’s bedtime and lays down. He may stir a little at night but he’s slept through the night for over two weeks now! I can’t tell you how happy that makes us. His energy level has increased a ton during the day and nap times are going well too. We’re so incredibly happy to sleep through the night and not walk around like zombies. We are so grateful to Melissa and loved her easy going confidence that this would work and Milo would get it. It gave me a lot of hope when I really needed it.”

“He can fall asleep on his own when we first put him to bed. We no longer need to be in his room until he falls asleep. He doesn’t wake up in the middle of the night anymore. If he does, he will put himself back to sleep.” Those are the words of Owen’s mom who is ecstatic that her son is now able to sleep 10 to 11 hours. Owen currently has zero nighttime wake up. This allowed his family to manage 8+ hours of sleep from the previous 5 to 6 hours. What an improvement! Mom says, “Owen falls asleep faster and stays asleep, he is not as tired and cranky in the morning. Every recommendation from Melissa was helpful. Also, her routine was easy to follow, plus her communication and follow-up were great. For parents whose child has sleep problems, I’d like to let you know that It’s possible to get your child to sleep with the right help. You have to be willing to commit to a structured routine, but it will be 100% worth it. Many of my friends have ASD children with sleep difficulties. I always tell them about Owen’s success. ”
