Ivy - 3 Years Old
Silas - 5 months "Thank you so much for helping us all get more sleep and for my husband and I to have our evenings back again. It has been life-changing, and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without your help, support and reassurance. Thank you for understanding my child’s unique needs and working with us to make it work for our family and our children. We are all much happier and much more rested!" - Shardae S. Koa - 21 months
"I was at my wits end with Koa’s sleep, she was waking up for hours each night wanting to party! I was worried that sleep training her would be so difficult and that my heart wouldn’t be able to handle her crying herself to sleep. But I was so wrong, she took so well to the sleep plan and while she did protest a bit for the first few nights, she quickly learned the routine and was sleeping through the night by night 5! I am so thankful for Erin’s help and feel confident that Koa is now getting the sleep she needs…. As am I! " - Amanda B. Martina - 6 Months
"I knew this process would be hard as I had little support elsewhere. No one in my family (aside from my husband) thought it was important, and I often got the comment from them "oh baby will learn to sleep eventually" or scoffing at the idea of me hiring a consultant for sleep. But through the process, Erin's support system and hand-holding was great! We weren't sure if the cost and time commitment required when working with a sleep consultant would be worth it or wanting to deviate from certain strategies that we felt were working well. But since working with Erin, Martina is now sleeping through the night and is no longer night feeding. I have been able to have more than 3 hours of consecutive sleep at a time! I feel more normal! I would recommend Erin to anyone who has difficulty or wants to have their child sleep better." Lasha & Mark Evelyn - 4 Months
"We were hesitant about working with a Sleep Consultant as we weren't prepared to do extinction [not a method utilized by To The Moon and Back Sleep Consulting], and we were hesitant about the cost. Erin took the time to educate us on sleep and we now have an understanding of the "why's" e.g., why nursing to sleep is bad, why it's important to get her on a schedule, etc. We loved the voicemails, and follow up phone calls! After our time with Erin Evelyn now has fewer night awakenings, and all of her sleep is done in the crib! We now have an amazing nap and bedtime routine. I would 100% recommend partnering with Erin and To The Moon and Back Sleep Consulting to anyone who is struggling with their little ones sleep. She knows a lot about sleep, and she won't quit until you see results! We really appreciate everything Erin taught us and all of the extra support from Erin. She gave us the confidence to stick with it, and we are so grateful for that!" Sarah & Justin B. Julia - 8 Weeks to 3.5 Months
"When my husband and I welcomed our second child home from the hospital, we were definitely naive to the fact that coping with a newborn and 1 ½ year old would be tough! Even more naive were we to think that our newborn would ‘go with the flow’ and we could carry on our routine as usual. Fast forward 8 weeks and we were in a state of chaos and desperation. I was sleeping in the basement with our newborn so the rest of the household wouldn’t hear her screaming. However, neither of us was actually sleeping. Instead, we were trying every trick in the book to shush, rock, sway, bounce, and sing our little one to sleep. Once I managed to finally put her down, I’d pray to whoever was listening that she wouldn’t wake as I ninja snuck out of the room. When those tactics didn’t work, my husband or I would pack her up in the car seat and drive endless hours (at all times of the day and night) as she would at least sleep in the car. We found our baby would go 8 hours or more without sleeping and then would scream and fight every attempt we’d make to put her down. We were both utterly exhausted and I was in tears the majority of the day. Throw in a frustrated toddler and you have a recipe for disaster. This is when I called Erin (who my sister recommended), albeit skeptical that she could help us, I was willing to give it a try. I will never forget our first phone call/consult. Erin was so patient as I babbled on about our situation and she really provided me with a sense of comfort and hope. Unfortunately our situation was made more difficult by having a tongue tied baby and she worked with us as we implemented our sleep plan slowly in collaboration with baby’s tongue tie surgery. What I came to learn through Erin’s help was that our baby was severely over tired and in fact couldn’t ‘go with the flow’ as we presumed. That, coupled with her inability to effectively eat, was a huge challenge. Fortunately, Erin’s sleep plan was very supportive and easy to follow. While it definitely involved a change in the way we approached our daily routine, we now have a 4 month old who I put down for naps fully awake, who naps 2+ hours 3 times a day and 9-10 hours straight at night. She has learned to self soothe and doesn’t rely on any ‘props’ to fall asleep. Erin’s support throughout the process was instrumental in making me feel confident that I could stick to her recommendations and her follow-up was thorough and easy to understand. Our home is finally a happy place now!!" Nadine B. Brooklyn - 5.5 Months
"I'm a single parent with a little girl that would take 20-40 min naps if I was lucky and wake 4-5 times in the night. It was getting really hard on both of us. Then I found Erin, and she changed our lives. We are both way more rested now, and my daughter is taking 1.15-2 hour naps and sleeping through the night roughly 11-12 hours. Erin is down to earth. There was no high expectation that I would have her in the crib every time I was supposed to. Erin answered all my questions truthfully there is no sugar coating, and she explained the whys really well. This takes time, problems are not fixed in one night and its a rollercoaster, but Erin is extremely supportive. This has been a challenging but amazing experience, and I feel we now both have the skills to get through any sleep challenges that come our way. I feel like a whole new parent being rested and being able to be more active with my daughter during the day." -Danielle L. Peaceful Nights: Alberta's 'To the Moon and Back' Sleep Training Success with 2.5-Year-Old Capri1/6/2024 Capri - 2.5 years
"I was worried that it wasn’t going to work or we wouldn’t stick to the routine. But now she goes to bed independently and has taught herself to fall asleep on her own when she wakes up in the night. No bedtime battles. I liked that you gave us different strategies when issues came up with Capri. Figuring out what worked best for Capri. Eric and I have more "US" time. Night times aren’t so stressful anymore, and we are all getting a good night's sleep! You give the parents a different perspective and suggestions that they might not think of." - Brandace B. Jordon - Age 9
"I wasn't sure it was going to work as Jordan is older, and we thought there might have been an anxiety component. He is sleeping through the night!! We reached out as a last-ditch effort and are very happy with the result. It took some hard work and dedication, but we are so glad that we saw it through. As expected, he does revert on occasion, but it is short-lived. I appreciated the regular communication. You were easy to talk to, reliable and provided much-needed encouragement, which helped to keep us on track - it's easy to second guess oneself when in the thick of it! We are now better rested and able to enjoy more time together as a family. The process itself has benefited us in other areas of our lives as well. It has taught us the value and importance of setting clear expectations, being firm and carrying through with consequences. I would gladly recommend you to anyone who is having sleep problems with their children. The most important thing that people should know about working with you is that it is well worth the cost!" - Melanie F. Halle - 15 months
"Most of my hesitation was that the sleep consultant we picked to hire wouldn't understand Halle's ways or routine and give us a plan to follow that was generic for every kid. We have finally slept at night! From 5 plus wake-ups, hours of rocking and 4 plus bottles at night to no more rocking to sleep for hours on end throughout the night, no more bottles, finally! We can put her to bed and not guess how long and how many times she will wake. Since we've taken away the bottle, she eats sooo much better also! I like that you made a plan for us based on HALLE. you listened to what we were doing with her prior to meeting with you and told us what we needed to cut out and what we needed to do to make some serious changes. I was scared to death at first cause we'd taken away all her old coping mechanisms. However, I had no clue how we were going to take away bottles or if we would ever sleep again. So I am extremely thankful to check both those off the list. She eats so much more and so much better since you told us to cut all bottles. We were literally going crazy. Hopeless really. We hadn't slept more than 3 hours at a time in the last 15 months. no joke, we were going crazy. My husband heard about you; when I heard the price I thought NO WAY! He said to me " Our marriage is worth more than any money we could pay" and he was so right. We were barely getting through the days and were absolutely miserable until we finally found a schedule for her and us that has now given us a bit of hope and can finally catch our breath again. Also, more importantly; HALLE was exhausted. She wasn't sleeping properly so she was probably not feeling great at all, either!! She is much happier during the day since sleeping better at night. I've already recommended you to many people in a Facebook group I'm in that is all about sleep training. really, anyone with a baby/toddler that needs help should reach out to you. I cannot express how grateful I am to have found Erin. We were completely at our wits' end and hadn't slept in over 15 months. We really were hopeless until we found Erin and this program. Not only is Halle sleeping and eating better, but our entire household is so much happier! Erin is extremely knowledgable, was very patient with us and was easy to work with. I didn't believe this could ever be us, but Erin made it happen! Totally worth it, and will do it again for the next kid. " - Amy O. Violet - 3.5 Months
"Erin was a pleasure to work with. We chose the plan that included daily telegram support, which I highly recommend. She made a sleep plan for us, provided a plethora of sleep education, and answered my many daily questions. I was really nervous to do sleep training on our own; part of me thought that our baby would hate us for allowing her to cry. I'm not sure I would have been able to commit to the training without Erin cheering us on and reminding us to stay strong. Erin definitely took a lot of the stress away. She helped troubleshoot the daily nap/bedtime schedule, which can be a struggle! Training has made the 4-month sleep regression that much easier. I think we are almost through it, and it hasn't been that bad! I haven't had to get up with her during the night since we started training! She gave me the confidence to face any future obstacle head-on. Since completing training, we have had one late night putting baby to bed for family photos and a vaccine appointment during nap time. She has become so much more flexible with her sleep, falling asleep in places that, prior to, she wouldn't have. While we will strive to provide most naps in her crib or pack-n-play (on the go), it's nice to know that if we are unable to provide either that she is flexible to nap wherever we are. She was a pretty happy baby prior to training, but I think she is that much happier getting better naps and nighttime sleep. I'm a happier and better mom for doing sleep training and no longer contact napping! It really gives you a piece of mind and a sense of pride when your baby can just put themselves to sleep! Thank you so much, Erin; this was a life-changing experience for us! I highly recommend Erin if you are looking to successfully sleep train your baby/child with daily support and expertise. " - Jenna C. Lily - 22 Months
"I think for me, the hesitation to hire a sleep consultant was more thinking that if I asked for help, it meant that I failed at helping my daughter on my own. Lily sleeps so much better at night. No more nighttime feeds. She naps on her own now. She's so much happier and eating more. We have a better schedule now. Plus, I can actually get chores done when Lily Is napping. Erin is extremely kind and patient. I loved how passionate she is about helping families get better sleep! Erin is easy to talk to and understanding. Very helpful and relatable. I would recommend Erin to anyone I came across who expressed needing help with sleep training." - Kristina R. Riley - 3.5 YO & Bodhi - 1.5 YO
"Erin is a pleasure to work with. She is understanding and knowledgeable and has strategies that work. Before Erin, my 3.5-year-old and 1.5-year-old were waking up continuously throughout the night, and everyone in the house was exhausted and miserable. By the time our lessons with Erin were though, our children no longer fight or fuss and now sleep through the night. Her insight and knowledge base has truly changed our family's nights into restful sleeps. My husband and I could not have done this without her. " - Melissa & John A. Astrid - 5 Months
"The internet is full of parents who have opinions on what makes a successful sleeping baby and nursery setup, but they completely contradict one another. It is frustrating, and when you're in the thick of this chaos, you will try everything, which means nothing works. We put ourselves through so much trying to solve our little girl's sleep issues and just assumed it was the four-month sleep regression. After weeks of her only napping for 10-30 minutes, waking up screaming after 30 minutes at bedtime, needing to feed to sleep, and having complete meltdowns for nap and sleep time, we decided to bring in a professional. It was so relieving to have a professional weed out the misinformation and set us up with clear guides for us as parents to follow. In one night, our daughter stopped needing night feeds and, within just a couple of nights, slept through the night (meaning, she was able to put herself back to sleep). In a few days, she was getting better, fuller naps during the day. Honestly, after the first week, we just t had situation-specific questions we needed guidance for; otherwise, our baby was a sleeping superstar at just five months old! When I have told family and friends we hired a sleep consultant, many didn't know it was an option. Those who have littles are now considering this option if their little needs that helping hand. Don't be afraid to get help. It may seem like something you as the parent should just be able to solve, but you don't need to do this alone. Give yourself the relief and let someone else guide you." Landis R. Theo - 9 months
Before we began, I was concerned that the Sleep Consultant wouldn’t understand or work with our concerns (for example - Mom who cannot handle a lot of crying). But Right off the bat, you could tell that you genuinely care about what you do, and you put us at ease with just the one phone call. Throughout our three weeks working together, you were always there with support and honesty, and you always tried to tweak things for the benefit of Theo instead of just “trying to work it out.” It was also comforting knowing you understood where we were coming from and could appreciate some of the concerns and worries that I (Mom) had. Honestly, everything was laid out perfectly, so we knew what to expect and when to expect it. Every single thing about our sleep/naps has changed for the better! We’re on the appropriate wake windows and appropriate nap sleep times, and we’re all getting a FULL night's sleep! Theo was always a happy baby from day one, but there’s just something different with this “happy” that he is with the proper sleep, and it absolutely melts my heart seeing it, so I think we’re all a bit better off mentally and emotionally. People should know that You truly care about the families you take on, and you make it seem like they’re the only family that you’re working with. We cannot thank you enough for your help with our little one! It was seriously night and day with our sleeps and naps, and even though we’re still not perfect and have some minor things, we could not have done this without you! Sarah & Evan S. Parker - 6 Months
I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was nervous about what the process would entail and didn’t want someone to judge how I was parenting My little one can sleep through the night! And her naps are longer and more predictable. She went from waking every other hour in the night needing to be rocked back to sleep to sleeping 12 hours straight on her own. Her naps also improved and went from 15-30 minutes to over an hour! I appreciated the support and the information Erin provided. She was very easy to talk to and had no judgement whatsoever. There were some rough days but with Erin’s help we got through them and are so glad we stuck it out! Both baby and parents are now getting their much-needed sleep! This process has provided both my husband and I the confidence to move forward with our daughter’s sleep schedule. We know that there will be bumps along the way, but we now have the tools to help us through those times. Erin is very down to earth and takes her time with you. It really made us feel important and listened to. She was very informative and patient with our many questions! Alyssa H. Mackenzie - 7.5 Months
"I forgot what sleeping through the night was like, until I starting working with Erin!!! At first i was a little skeptical when she mentioned that she would be able to have my little girl taking 3 naps a day and sleeping 10-12 hours a night; after all she barely napped and would sleep for 3-4 hours at a time during the night. I could not believe the results. Erin walked me through the process, and mentioned that it was going to be tough because there were a lot of "bad" habits that needed to be changed. Erin gave me the confidence to not give in to every cry, that its okay for babies to cry it's good for their lungs. The first few days were tough, I won't lie. As a mom I never like to hear my little one cry. I will pick her up and rock her back to sleep or just let her sleep on me just so she'd stay sleeping. But Erin has taught me the skills and confidence I needed to get through the first hump. I was amazed after the first few days. My little one went down for her naps like clockwork, and she consistently slept through the night for 12 hours!!!!!!!!! I couldn't have asked for a better sleep consultant. Erin was there to answer any of my questions, give me advice when she noticed different sleeping issues, and did follow up calls throughout this sleep journey. 10 out of 10 :)” Britta N. Rocky 2 Years & 3 Months
Our son was keeping us awake and exclusively co-sleeping which resulted in him not getting enough sleep and us getting woken up when he wanted to feed several times throughout the night. He is now sleeping very well on his own and is very easy to put to bed. The recommended white noise machine is great (he will sleep through music, movies, or company). Erin provided a plan to get him back in his own bed and now he sleeps in his own bed without a fight. The advice and information provided was very useful. The plan was specific and easy to understand. I think it is useful to have someone outside provide perspective to what is possible and normally achievable. It was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone who is struggling with sleep training. Lee M. Maud 6 Weeks - 4 Months
"Since working with Erin, our little one is sleeping like a champion. She sleeps through the night and goes down without a battle at naps. No more rocking, bouncing, signing, feeding her to sleep.... Our little one has learned how to fall asleep on her own! Something I honestly didn't think would be possible. What an amazing gift- not only to us as tired parents, but to our daughter who has mastered the skill of sleeping. Erin was beyond patient with us. She took the time to answer all of our questions and made us feel safe working with her. Erin went above and beyond to help our family and we are forever great full for teaching us the skills to help our little one get the sleep she (and we) needed. To any parent out there who is on the fence of whether to hire a sleep consultant, I can honestly say it was the best investment our family made. There is so much information (and miss-information) out there on sleeping. Erin will help you develop a plan specific to your little one and help you navigate through the process of learning this ever so important skill. Thank you so much!!!!!” Rebecca N. Ayana - 20 Months
As a family, we got our sleep back! We were co-sleeping and nursing to sleep every day. Bedtime would take 1 to 2 hours every night, and our daughter would wake up 2-5 times every night. Now thanks to Erin and her sleep training, our 21-month-old daughter sleeps through the night in her own room and is able to fall back asleep on her own. She is now sleeping 11-12 hours every night without any sleep prop. Erin's program works and is adapted and personalized to your child. We would recommend Erin's services to family and friends with a baby/toddler of any age experiencing difficulties with sleeping. Laura B. Benjamin - 5 Months"Erin has exceeded all my expectations about sleep training.
I am a physician and I knew a lot about sleep training already and was still not able to successfully succeed on my own. Erin helped me and my family in a encouraging and simple way to achieve that. She is professional, kind and very approachable. She makes you feel valued. My little one is 5 months and sleeping through the night. He is happier and I am too. I would highly recommend her to my friends and my patients." Anna V. Rose - 1YO "Our 1 year old daughter was still waking up frequently in the night. And we were lucky if we could get her to sleep for 45 min naps during the day. I had tried the sleep sense program, and it made a little difference, but we still weren’t where we wanted to be. I found out about Erin through the sleep sense website. She is incredibly easy to talk. Within a few nights of following the suggestions Erin made, our daughter was sleeping longer and having better daytime naps. By the end of our three weeks together, she is sleeping 12 hours through the nights and usually having a 2 hour mid day nap. She’s so much happier and content during the day and so much easier to put to bed or back to sleep if she does wake up. Als a parent who was extremely exhausted, I couldn’t see all the small little things that I could change to help our daughter. We are so grateful for Erin’s support.”
Kristine G. Lochlin - 3.75 YO When my wife and I reached out looking for help with our son Lochlin , we were both at our wits ends with him and the battle to go to bed and sleep every night. Both of us dreaded the night time routine that we had fallen into , the screaming and yelling and fighting had drained both of us down and made night time a not enjoyable time in our house. When we did reach out to Erin we were both a loss as how to deal with Lochlin. Not only was his temper out of control but ours was beginning to get out of control as well due to the lack of sleep going on in the house. Erin made both of feel like we hadn't failed at being parents cause our child didn't sleep, but that we had done nothing wrong and we should be proud of the fact that we were asking for help. Thought the whole process Erin continued to not only make sure Lochlin was thriving with his new found sleep, but that we were also thriving and feeling better with more sleep. Within the 3 weeks of the program Lochlin's attitude and temperament changed for the better and he is now easy to put to bed not only for us but for anyone from uncles and aunts to our babysitter. We can't thank Erin enough for bringing peace and restful night to our home!!!!! Torin & Leanne B. Grayson 5 YearsMy first hesitation is that they would not be able to help my child who is older, 5 years old to be exact. He was the perfect sleeper from 8 weeks old until 4.5 years old then suddenly developed sleep issues. But Grayson is sleeping on his own, in his own bed, I am no longer sleeping in the same room or bed and I am no longer sleeping on the floor outside his room. He went from waking 5 or 6 times a night needing me to sleep with him to sleeping on his own and waking 1 time a night. HUGE PROGRESS! I loved that you met me where I was with Grayson. I think you saw that he was having a lot of anxiety surrounding sleeping on his own. Thank you for giving us the tools to help him succeed. We feel confident knowing how to set the nighttime boundaries. Even when he wakes and sometimes, he needs more soothing than others he still knows he can sleep on his own and eventually settles back to sleep. Thank you! The most important thing people should know about working with Erin is that she will tailor the work to the child! Which is exactly what we needed. She was amazing! Mom. Grayson - 7 Months
Before hiring a sleep consultant, I was hesitant about the cost and leaving my son to cry. But I haven’t had to picked him up through the night since we started working with Erin. He has had nights where he’s cried but it only happens once in a while. Erin is so down to earth! She made me feel very comfortable in talking about my concerns. I now know it’s OK to let him cry a little! And I feel like a better mother because I am now getting sleep. Erin truly understands what we are going through. Husbands try to be as supportive as they can but don’t truly understand. And you get so many people saying "oh it's normal they aren’t sleeping my children didn’t sleep through the night until they were two". And I learned it’s not normal! And giving your baby the tools to learn to sleep well is so important for babies and moms! I really can’t thank you enough for what you have done for our family! Allie P. Knixon – 3.5 Months
Erin was such a pleasure to work with she was caring and understanding. She offered suggestions to help with my anxiety with sleep training my son for myself while still setting the stage so my son would sleep. It was a win win plan for everyone! Kaala B. |
