My name is Sarah Shepherd and I am a wife, mom, and pediatric nurse practitioner by day. I started my career as a labor and deliver, post-partum, and newborn nursery registered nurse. I have also worked as an RN in the neonatal intensive care unit and in the school setting. For the past 11 years, I have worked as a pediatric nurse practitioner. I have spent the majority of my career as an NP working in developmental/behavioral pediatrics. In 2021, I became certified as a pediatric mental health nurse practitioner.

Because of my professional experience, I thought I had all the tools needed to get my kids to sleep. In 2014, our son was born and just 22 months later, our daughter came along. It took years for our kids to finally sleep through the night and I thought we were just unlucky, had terrible sleepers, “it’s genetic” my mom said, etc. Boy was I wrong. I know the importance of healthy sleep habits and want to help other families. I decided to pursue a sleep consulting certification. I am so excited to help other families achieve happy nights so they can have a happy life with their little ones!
