We didn't have to let him cry it out and let our baby be left feeling alone...
"Hey there, my name is Jess and I am the mom of an 8 month old boy. Before working with Katie at Otterly Thriving I was stuck with not knowing how/when to move him to his own room and I really wanted to teach him own to fall and stay asleep on his own because I know it’s an important foundation for his life ahead. I was initially hesitant to sleep train because I didn’t want him to cry it out and be left feeling alone but after working with Katie we gained confidence and so did our little boy — he’s sleeping great now 99% of the time with minimal intervention needed. The best part about working with her has been how she relates to me as a mom, that helps a ton! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Within just a couple of nights, he had it figured out...
"Hi, my name is Cayci and I am the mom of Brooks who is a one-year-old little boy. Before working with Katie with Otterly Thriving, I was struggling with Brooks waking up multiple times throughout the night either wanting to drink water or not being able to go back to sleep without our help. I also wanted to establish a good schedule before bedtime. After our first conversation with Katie, I realized we did need some guidance to get that started. Katie was able to set us up on a good night time and morning schedule that allowed him to get the necessary sleep that he needed throughout the night and helped us establish when we needed to intervene when he would wake up. Within just a couple of nights, he had it figured out and we were all able to get some sleep. The best part about working with Katie was she was available anytime we had questions and was able to walk us through her thought process and made it a seamless transition. Now we are spending more quality time as a family and all enjoying our sleep." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Working with Katie was so easy & reassuring. The best part was her calm demeanor, supportive attitude & genuine care for my family as a whole.
WHY IT MATTERS
CRY IT OUT? NOPE. LET'S DO BETTER FOR YOU & YOUR BABY!
Hi, I'm Katie...
Like a mom-friend who happens to know sleep science!
You’re not into cry-it-out (spoiler alert ‼️ me neither), so you’ve avoided sleep training for babies like it’s a group text from high school. Trust me… I get it!
Because I value the early years—the wild, beautiful stretch where everything your little one learns is shaping who they’ll become…
I use my degree in Early Childhood, my mom-to-mom relatable voice, a bit of humor, and of course my certification in sleep training for babies, toddlers and kids to help tired parents overcome the most common sleep and parenting struggles.
I believe sleep shouldn’t steal the joy of this season. When children are rested, they can grow, develop, connect and explore the way they’re meant to!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What if sleep training harms my baby emotionally or damages our bond?
I’ve actually written an entire article on this because the fear of “sleep training and emotional damage” is so real for parents. Here’s the truth: secure attachment and healthy bonds aren’t broken by sleep training— they’re actually one of the pillars that make it work. Think of it this way: your baby doesn’t forget you love them just because you’re not rocking them for 45 minutes straight. In fact, research shows sleep training and attachment can go hand in hand, giving you a well-rested, more emotionally regulated little human (and a less zombie-like version of you). Ready to see what sleep training could look like for your family? Let’s chat and create a plan that gets everyone the rest they deserve.
Q. Can I do this without my baby crying at all?
Let’s be real—there’s no such thing as zero crying during sleep training. I mean, toddlers cry if we give them the wrong color cup, so of course a new bedtime routine gets some pushback. Even with gentle sleep training methods for babies, some tears are expected as your child learns new routines and expectations.
Crying is a baby’s way of communicating change and processing new routines. When your baby or toddler is accustomed to falling asleep a certain way, they’ve been trained to fall asleep a certain way. They think they NEED that way to fall or go to sleep. Have you done anything wrong?! NO! We do what we need to early on to get rest. Simply put, what you’re doing now is no longer working for you… and that’s okay! What I can assure you of is that I require parents to respond when their baby cries. I will teach you a different way to respond every time your child cries.
Q. What if the consultant pushes me to do things I’m not comfortable with?
The truth is, a good sleep consultant never hands you a cookie-cutter plan or forces you into something that doesn’t align with your parenting style. We work together to find solutions that feel right for your family, whether that means gentle approaches or adjusting along the way. If you’ve ever Googled “what is the gentlest method of sleep training?” or “how to help my toddler stay asleep without crying it out,” that’s exactly the kind of collaborative, flexible support you can expect—because sleep success only works when you feel confident and comfortable.
Q. I’m concerned about the cost.
I get it—parenting already feels like swiping your card for every. single. thing. But here’s the funny part: we don’t blink at dropping $6 on a latte that lasts 7 minutes, yet we hesitate to invest in something that buys us YEARS of better sleep (and sanity). And bonus—did you know you can often use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) for sleep consulting services? That means it’s not just an investment in rest—it’s a legit healthcare expense. Because let’s be honest, uninterrupted sleep does more for your health than that multivitamin you keep forgetting to take.
Q. Why should I hire you — What sets you apart?
That’s an excellent question! My bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood from Texas Tech and diploma from The Cradle Coach Academy paired with being a parent and grandparent and YEARS experience as a Pre-K, Kindergarten and Second grade teacher are good for something! Let’s put them to work!
- Humor and relatability → I make exhausted parents laugh and feel seen (which instantly lowers their defensiveness).
- Balance science with empathy → I explain the “why” behind sleep in a way that’s clear and non-judgy, so parents feel smart, not scolded.
- Meet parents where they are → I don’t push “cry it out” or rigid rules—I honor your values, emotions, and capacity.
- Provide emotional coaching, not just sleep coaching → I normalize the guilt, frustration, and second-guessing that come with parenting.
- Stay accessible and approachable → My approach is not clinical or bossy—it’s more like a wise, funny mom-friend who also knows her stuff!
Whether you’re dealing with bedtime battles, toddler meltdowns, or just trying to figure out how to parent in a way that feels good to you, I’m here to help you find your rhythm. Plus, I promise we’ll have a few laughs along the way!
Q. I’ve already tried everything. Why would this work?
Here’s the thing—when you feel like you’ve tried it all, the problem usually isn’t you, it’s that no one has yet helped you find a sleep solution customized for your baby or toddler. Most “everything” out there is generic advice that doesn’t take your child’s temperament, your family’s routine, or your parenting style into account. That’s why parents searching “how to get my toddler to sleep through the night without crying” finally see results with a tailored plan. We cut through the noise, ditch the guesswork, and find a method that actually fits your family—so you can finally get some rest without feeling like a failure.
Q. I feel like I should be able to figure this out on my own — why can’t I figure this out?
Sleep struggles are common, and reaching out doesn’t mean you’re failing — it means you’re taking care of your family. Children don’t come with instructions. Thank goodness there are professionals out there to tell us what to do… teachers, doctors, sleep consultants!
Sleep is foundational to your family’s well-being, and just like we hire experts for health, finances, or home repairs, working with a sleep consultant is simply a smart way to get trusted, experienced help. You’re still the expert on your child — I just help you connect the dots and take the pressure off your shoulders.
