Maybe you’ve been thinking about becoming a sleep consultant for a while, but something’s been holding you back.
​
Maybe you thought…
​
-
"I don’t have time to study”
-
“I’m too busy to take on a full-time job”
-
“I wouldn’t even know the first thing about starting and growing a successful business”
-
“There are so many courses out there, how do I know which one to choose?”
HI, WE’RE KATELYN & ASHLEY AND WE KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL
We’re certified pediatric sleep consultants who are obsessed with all things sleep (seriously, who else spends Friday night reading scientific studies on sleep?!)... and we totally get it. Five years ago, we were both exactly where you are right now.
​
We know exactly how intimidating it feels to launch a sleep consultant business, and we understand how confusing it can be trying to figure out the right course or program for you.
​
After graduating from a sleep consultant certification program ourselves and then going on to create our own thriving sleep consultant businesses, Heaven Sent Sleep and Sweet Pea Sleep, we were able to see the gaps in other programs that needed filling.
​
Now, we've combined our 9 years of professional sleep consultant expertise and our experience helping thousands of families get more sleep to bring you the most comprehensive, evidence-based sleep consultant certification course available.
​
Because the truth is, starting a business doesn’t have to feel intimidating and all-consuming. We speak from experience: You can run a successful sleep consultant business while still enjoying time with your family.
just imagine…
-
Launching a new career that allows you to do something you love, or a rewarding side hustle to bring in extra cash

-

What you get inside the course
“I looked around for quite some time at different sleep consulting certification programs, and this program checked all the boxes I wanted. They’ve done a great job with all aspects of preparing you to become a sleep consultant from the sleep science to bringing in experts in relevant areas like bottle and breastfeeding, how to work with families, and building a business to just name a few. Overall this a very well-rounded program if you would like to pursue becoming a sleep consultant.”
— Lianne D.
“One of the most thorough courses out there for all things child sleep/sleep consulting! You can really see all the work that went into it and still goes into it by the creators with continued support and education included in the purchase. Would highly recommend if you are looking into this field and want to invest in yourself and starting your own business!”
— Konnor T.
“The Collective is an amazing organization. Not only do they offer an incredibly comprehensive course to become certified as a sleep consultant, but the course includes information from many other experts who work with babies and children, there is a community of students and grads for ongoing support, you have an opportunity for a paid internship getting experience providing sleep advice to families, and you receive continuing support and guidance from Ashley and Katelyn - two of the best sleep consultants in the business. I cannot recommend the Collective highly enough!”
— Sammy M.
What Graduates Say About The Sleep Consultant Academy
What Makes The Sleep Consultant Academy Different?
Wondering what makes this program different from all the other sleep consultant certification courses out there? We’ll tell you!
​
Developed by 2 Industry Veterans: With a combined 9+ years of on-the-ground experience working with thousands of families, we believe we’ve developed the most credible, comprehensive program out there. As practicing sleep consultants who continue to work with clients weekly, we stay in tune with what it’s really like for our students and graduates to work with families.
​
Learn to Work With Children of All Ages: Our program includes ALL the sleep knowledge you need to work with little ones from birth to preschool age, meaning you won’t have to pay for an additional newborn or toddler course. (We do offer separate courses for newborns or toddlers if you’re already certified- but the information in our academy contains it all!)
​
Self-Paced Course With Lifetime Access: One issue we noticed with other sleep consultant certification programs is that many of them require you to complete them on a very specific timeline — and as busy mamas ourselves, we know sometimes that’s simply impossible! So our program is yours forever: You’ll receive lifetime access to study at your own pace, plus you’ll receive all updates and new bonuses as they’re added.
​
Access to a Paid Internship: What really sets us apart is our paid internship option that allows you to gain invaluable real-world experience (and earn some cash!). We don’t just send you out into the world unprepared - you get real experience with real paying clients.
​
Gain Knowledge from Expert Contributors: You’ll have access to a diverse range of industry experts sharing their knowledge on an incredible range of subjects to help you create a thriving sleep consultant business, from how to support families through post-partum mood disorders to how to manage your social media presence and handle your business taxes.
​
Ongoing Support from Katelyn & Ashley: Once you’ve graduated, you’ll continue to receive quarterly education from us to ensure you stay up-to-date on all things baby sleep.
