"When my 3 year old, previously an almost perfect sleeper, suddenly started looking scared to go to sleep and woke up many times each night, I knew something needed to change. I happened to see a friend comment about Laura on her Facebook page. I contacted Laura, and within days my son was back getting the healthy, happy sleep he needs. She took all the various aspects of his life into account, and was able to prescribe the perfect sleeping plan. Being able to text her in the evenings for advice and encouragement was especially helpful. I am beyond grateful for her insight and support. It was a very wise investment for our family."

My son is 2.5 and he started having sleep problems about 2 months ago. He was waking up too early, waking up during the night, having trouble falling asleep, and skipping his naps–pretty much everything that can go wrong! It got progressively worse, and I was at my wits’ end. I’ve read almost every sleep book out there and I couldn’t figure out what we were doing wrong. Someone told me about the SleepBuddy Light, which I tried with some success. Then, when I learned that Laura, who invented the light, was a sleep consultant, I contacted her immediately. I was desperate! 

Laura was, in a word, amazing. She was calm and helpful. She gave me a few tips to try for free, but I could tell that we still had more work to do. I went ahead and purchased a package with the thought that if it didn’t work, at least I had someone else thinking about my sleep problems, too. We got started right away with a phone conversation and a customized sleep plan, and she told me to report to her via text each day and she would give me instructions. 

It was an enormous relief to have her advice. The next few days had some early mornings, but I awoke each day feeling optimistic and supported, knowing that I would let her know what was going on and she would tell me what to do. I could tell that she’d had a lot of experience in this area (she has five children, after all!), and she also had a lot of very good information. 

Well, within four days, we experienced what I would have to call a resounding success. My son began sleeping 2-2.5 hours every day for his nap, and about 7pm-7am every night. His mood was better, and I was calmer and much happier! Part of why we had such fast success was that we had good habits already in place (He could fall asleep on his own, and we had routines in place, and no problems with food or potty training). But it also was fast because she knew what she was doing and I knew that I could trust her–so I did everything she told me! 

The support she offers lasts at least two weeks, so there is plenty of time to work out any problems, and I know she would offer extensions, as well as follow up support, if someone continued to need her advice. She obviously does this work because she cares so much about children and mothers and families. She is compassionate and flexible, and also knows what we can expect from children. 

I have been telling everyone I know about my experience with Laura. Not only did we have success with my son’s sleep habits, but I am also so grateful to have found her as a resource for my friends and for the future–because the sleep journey is never really over! I’ve told my husband several times that I would happily have paid her ten times as much as she charged in order to have her support and expertise in this trying time of motherhood. I’ve also said many times that hiring her was probably the best money I’ve spent in at least the last five years. I cannot emphasize how much of a bargain her help was.

Getting on track with sleep isn’t easy, and it isn’t always fast, but this is a woman and a method that you can trust. Her advice is based on information that is scientifically proven (See Dr. Marc Weissbluth’s research), and her approach is very nurturing–You will feel as though she is taking care of you, too!

If nothing else, I would imagine that the length of this testimonial would express to you just how strongly I feel about my positive experience with Laura. I want to encourage you to trust her and work with her. She may very well change your life.

Laura has been the absolute best go-to person when we are in need of solid sleep training advice.  She gives us practical take-away advice that works every time!  What we love the most is that she is super encouraging and supports you along the way.  If something isn’t working she makes sure to take the time to get your child and the entire family sleeping again. Thanks for all you do at Healthy Happy Sleep!

Working with Laura was a true blessing being a first time mom. When my son turned 6 months and his sleep pattern changed I was at a loss and truly losing sleep over it due to hourly wake-up screams from my son. Laura helped guide me through a baby’s biological clock and really helped me understand babies. She supported and encouraged us when we finally did the CIO method.

My son Dominic was THE best sleeper until about 9 months…then we started constant battles of NO daytime sleep and very interrupted night time sleep. A very crabby but cute little boy was the result. After continuous double ear infections -which we assumed was the culprit- we had tubes put in his ears. Nothing changed in the sleep department. I read every book, did every Google search, but nothing was helping. I was lucky to be referred to Laura Swartz! After filling out a questionnaire about his sleep, she was quick to notice I put down that he was a “regular” snorer. She immediately suggested we needed to consult his ENT about the snoring. I scheduled an appt. and tried everything Laura suggested in the meantime. We ended up doing a sleep study and low and behold, child needs his tonsils and adenoids out!

Laura spotted the snoring red flag right away! Had she not,who knows when a sleep study would have taken place! We are so grateful for the advice and to be getting our son the help he needs! Thank you!

Laura Swartz  is a well versed and highly experienced sleep consultant.  She has given me sleep suggestions that were realistic approaches to try, and she helped me to understand the reasoning behind her methods.  Whether it was helping me to keep my toddler in bed at nap time, or helping me find the balance of knowing when my daughter needed to soothe herself to sleep, she was successful in giving me a solution.    I trust her judgment because she is very knowledgeable about healthy sleep and she knows from personal experience!

I cannot say enough good things about Laura at Healthy Happy Sleep. Sleep deprivation has been quite difficult for me. By the time our little guy hit ten months, I was exhausted and frustrated. When I hired Laura, I thought she’d chat with me a bit, learn a little about our family, draw up a plan and then be on her merry way. I couldn’t have been more wrong. She managed to pick up on the tiniest thing our son was doing and suggested I have his ears checked for infection. We will be having tubes put in his ears just ten days after I made contact with Laura. The pain she has saved my son and our family is priceless. As a first time mom, I cannot tell you how much Laura’s support and guidance has helped us. Not only did she catch a significant medical issue but she has held my hand through it every step of the way. She hasn’t just given me directions, she’s asked for my input. She’s listened not only to what I am saying but also to my son’s cues. She tailored a plan for us and never made me feel like one size fits all. Hopefully we won’t need her in the future but we will absolutely be back in a heartbeat if we do. I have bought a lot if baby gear, books, you name it. Laura is by far the best money I’ve spent!

As a mother of four children, I thought that I had basically figured out how to get my babies sleeping through the night. When my youngest turned nine months, I was at a place where she was getting up all night long just to make sure I was there. No one was getting sleep and I knew I had to change something. I heard about Laura through a friend and shared my concerns with her. Laura was amazing to work with. She helped me step by step, encouraged me along the way, and was there whenever I had a question, no matter how insignificant it seemed. I did not want my baby to have to cry it out to fall asleep. Laura created a thorough and specific plan so that I was able to sleep train my baby and make it work for our family. I cannot say enough good things about Laura and her knowledge of babies and their sleep. I did not receive any of this information from my pediatrician. I am happy to say after a week of hard work and much support, I have a happy, sleeping baby. She continues to be a wonderful sleeper months later, despite teething! This makes a happy family!! Thank you, Laura 🙂

Our family was fortunate enough to have Laura share her expertise with us during a time when our previously well napping 19 month old started protesting naps and being a little monster during the evenings. He would take one thirty-minute nap during the day, go to bed at 7:30pm and wake up at 6am. We assumed it was the start of the terrible two’s, but Laura immediately recognized it as an accumulation of sleep deprivation. He was overtired! She gave us a sleep schedule to follow, that i had never read in any book, to get him back on track with his normal schedule. Laura followed up with us daily for a few weeks until we were confident that our toddler was sleeping well. She is still just one call or email away from helping us tackle any atypical sleep issues we face with our now 2yr old and 5 month old. Talk about great customer service!

Another sanity saving advice Laura shared with us was to be conscious of our infant’s wake time and sleepy cues. She also gave us tips on how to get the baby to sleep in the first six weeks. This saved us from having much stress and frustration. Thank you, Laura!

I reached out to Laura when my daughter was 2.5 years and son was 6-7 months old. They were both horrible sleepers and we were really struggling. My daughter has always had issues with sleeping, from being able to fall asleep, waking up multiple times throughout the night or needing to have someone next to her throughout the night. My son was also developing poor sleeping habits, waking up at least 3-4 times a night! At this point, we knew we needed professional help.

I had some hesitations after the first few days of “sleep training” with Laura. I didn’t see much improvement and wasn’t sure if this was going to work. However, she encouraged me to continue and told me that my kids were showing signs of improvement, although I didn’t really think so. I continued the full two weeks, as consistent as I could with the sleep plan. By the end of two weeks, my daughter was sleeping in her room and falling asleep on her own!!! She has continued to do so and is currently sleeping through the night! My son has been following the schedule as well and sleeping through the night (with 1 feed in the middle of the night). It took me some time but I am a firm believer that Laura can help! It was well worth the money and if I could go back, I would’ve done this earlier!!! Thank you Laura!
