Hello! My name is Katie Medlock, owner and founder of Hope’s Nest LLC. I am an elementary school counselor, wife, and mother to my beautiful 2-year-old daughter Violet. My daughter struggled with sleep since the day she was born. She was also a very fussy newborn, and I now understand that it was because she was chronically overtired. She was definitely a FOMO (fear of missing out) baby, having a hard time “turning off” to go to sleep.

How little sleep was talked about in the classes I took to prepare for motherhood was baffling. Other than the fact that newborns eat frequently and mix up their days and nights, I knew nothing about infant sleep. So, when Violet was 3-4 months old and we were waking up nearly every 45 minutes each night, my husband and I did not know what to do. We thought, “Is this what every new parent has to deal with but no one talks about?” We felt ashamed to be feeling burnt out, and we felt hopeless.

This is what led me to discover sleep training and to purchase a course from a sleep consultant that would change our life. We noticed tremendous progress in just a couple of days, and in 2 weeks, Violet was consistently sleeping 10-12 hours at night uninterrupted. The whole family was happier and healthier. Sleep training was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Now, I created Hope’s Nest to help change the lives of other families. I am a sleep consultant certified by the Institute of Pediatric Sleep and Parenting, which is one of the most highly accredited programs in the world. If you are like I was, hesitant about what to do, take the leap. Trust me; there is hope.
