Sleeping Well Consulting, LLC. Reviews

I’ve worked with Kim multiple times- my daughter is 2 years old now and has always been not the best sleeper. Kim has the best advice for each stage in their development with straight forward instructions while also being gentle! I was feeling pretty defeated with my stubborn toddler but she has given me hope!

With Kim’s sleep plan, our son has been sleeping through the night since 4 months old (now almost two years old!) Even better than a full night’s sleep is that he goes down independently and mostly always without a peep!

Last response to owners edited response: I canceled the first time before ever starting with Kim, not due to second thoughts, it was due to hurricane Helene literally decimating our city of Asheville and causing us to lose power (a way to zoom), cell service (contact) and water for 19 days, as well as depleting our resources. Edit to respond to owners response: I am speaking to the fact that your method is to not touch, pick up, or feed unless he cries for over an hour. I’m not reviewing the fact that I CHOSE to comfort him. When I told you the next day that I fed him between 12-3 as noted as allowed in your pdf, and I had my hand on his side to comfort him during a wake up while he was wailing until he fell asleep, you told me, because I did do those two things, that would be considered a “practice night” and not night 1 of sleep training. Hence reiterating that your method is to not touch, not feed, not pick up unless crying for over an hour. The biggest take away of this is I understand that some methods work for some babies and not for others — but I spent TWO of the paid for fourteen days of sleep training in very mild contact (one texted question a day and/or one texted update of the night) with you before I opted out of your service, I even did the math in text and offered to pay for those two days that went by. I was expecting much more professionalism and grace since 95% of the second half of payment was not used past the zoom call. You are the sole owner of your company, you are not one person under a larger corporation. Your hands are not tied here. Refusing to refund what was not used when it comes to a desperate family that was trying to find the right help with their baby is very bad business. Contract signed or not. Original Review: I did not feel like her method was helpful for my 7.5 month old, if anything her plan made his sleep so much worse and caused him to be traumatized about bedtime and his crib. Her method was the “chair method” which is basically letting him cry it out while you sit next to the crib and verbally support, no picking up no touching. He cried for 1 hour minimum for 3 nights before passing out from exhaustion. All while I sit there and do nothing but speak to him. When he would wake again throughout the night I was advised to do the same thing again to which he would end up falling back to sleep from crying exhaustion. This did not get better and he began to have anxiety about his room and bedtime. The zoom call did not cover any specificities regarding my son, we just read over an already made pdf that was edited here and there to accommodate my son’s age, and had small talk. I do not feel like there was any digging into what might be causing his wakings throughout the night, just a general plan tailored to any baby his age. That was my first red flag and I should have paid attention to my gut. When I asked her a question during the process she left me voice notes that were long and drawn out and really did not give me any useful information, only reiterating what was written in the pdf and just repeating herself a couple times in the same voice note, telling me sleep training is hard. I asked for a refund of half of the payment as I barely used her services after the zoom call, which I was refused. It was $500 wasted. I was very much expecting to have more of a sleep “specialist” really dig in and get to the bottom of my son’s issues, ask important questions about his health, possible road blocks, etc., and draw up a plan made specially for his temperament, health, and sleep patterns. I expected someone more knowledgeable about possible underlying problems/conditions to help me figure him out. Instead I paid all that money for a basic support person/rally friend to simply agree that it’s hard to sleep train and tell me I can do this. She offered to give me another option for training after I told her I wanted out but I was so turned off by the basic nature of this service that I did not want to continue with her. Very disappointed.

I thought it was impossible to sleep train our parent dependent child. We fell into the trap of co-sleeping and assistance sleep. We where constantly bouncing her on the medicine ball to help her sleep, feed 3-4 times at night to help our daughter sleep and where patting her to sleep if she would get restless at night. Kim's program was very detailed and she talked us through any issues we where having. At the start of the program I was sure that we would not be able to do this and that our then 9 month old would not sleep without her night feeds or assistance sleeping. With Kim's guidance and help through the process our now 10 month old is thriving and she sleeps 10 hours at night. Thank you Kim for your patience and guidance, we could not have gotten to where we are today with out your help. If you are hesitant about trying Kim's program, this is your sign to GO FOR IT!! You will not be disappointed.

Kim was incredible! She was so patient and compassionate with me and my daughter. Very responsive and helpful too. I almost quit after night one because my baby cried for so long and she encouraged me to stick with the plan and I’m 10 days my daughter was sleeping through the night with no wakes. I’m looking forward to working with her in the future

Kim was a lifesaver! So professional, kind and supportive. She has improved our day to day lives so much! I was very hesitant to sleep train but she made the process comfortable and was so encouraging! I highly recommend

Kim did a phenomenal job teaching me how to help my 10 month old girl to sleep through the night. The key for me was following her directions precisely.

Kim truly was a godsend for my daughter and our family. We had sleep issues from about four months on with our daughter that got so bad we eventually fell into the trap of co-sleeping and then were unable to break that pattern. The result was zero time for my husband and I since the baby would not sleep on her own and very broken and little sleep for us all. When my daughter was around 14 months, and with another baby on the way, we knew something had to change. We had tried Taking Cara Babies and the Ferber Method and nothing seemed to work for us. Our pediatrician recommended Kim and we reached out right away. Kim developed a very detailed plan specifically catered to our daughter and her needs. Not going to lie, night one was an absolute disaster but Kim quickly formulated a strategy and we tried again the next night. It took us a couple of weeks to truly find our groove but around day 10, it clicked for her and she has been sleeping through the night in her own room ever since. We would have never been able to accomplish this on our own without Kim's guidance, support and accountability along the way. Our daughter now goes down nearly every night within 5 minutes and most of the time she is happy to go sleep and excitedly tells us goodnight. The outcome was a well rested child and and a beyond grateful mom and dad. My husband and I now have time to spend together every night after she goes down and most mornings are able to get a workout in before she wakes. Our new arrival will be here in just 7 weeks and we know that thanks to Kim, we will be so much more equipped this next go around. Don't hesitate to hire Kim, I promise you, you won't regret it.

Kim helped us when we were desperate to figure out how to get our 1 year old to sleep alone through the night. We didn’t like the cry it out method and her methods were the gentle effective plan we were looking for. I constantly recommend her to any parents struggling with sleep and trust me when I say her methods absolutely work. Within 3 nights our baby was lying down and just falling asleep on his own, and not waking until morning. Can’t recommend Kim enough!!

Kim is an outstanding sleep coach who guided us through the gentle sleep training of our 16-month-old. Sleep training can be challenging, but having Kim’s support made all the difference. She was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout the process, and we were really satisfied with her service.

When we started with Kim, we had a 4 and half month old that was trying to be 2 weeks again and eat 6-8 of her ounces at night. Kim was so great at helping us see where we had quite unintentionally been reinforcing some things. I love how informed she was but wasn't condescending to what we felt comfortable with either. Then, with a very detailed plan and her support, our little was SUPER quickly sleeping from 7:30-6:30/7am. She's now 7 months and it's still going well. She naps well, eats well (during the day) and sleeps great. Highly recommend Kim.

We were both hesitant and doubtful about sleep training our very wakeful 19mo. She was waking 7-14 times a night and I never thought sleeping through the night was a possibility. I chose to work with Kim because her gentle approach as well as a similar parenting philosophy. Kim helped us feel confident in our decision to sleep train and capable in the process. And it was so much easier than I could have ever thought. Our little one was sleeping through the night by night three and there was hardly any crying. 6 months later we still have a little one that sleeps great through the night, so grateful. Highly recommend Kim.

When our second child got to 7th months old, he still was not sleeping through the night and had trouble going to bed without me holding him until he was asleep. Kim had been recommended and at our first call, I immediately felt at ease. Her survey asked great questions and our calls together helped us form a plan that my husband and I stuck to. While it was hard to hear our son cry, we were able to get him to sleep with some comfort. The check-ins with Kim reassured me that we were doing the right thing and we saw progress after just three nights. In a week, our son was going to bed with just a minute or two of soft cries, and no longer woke up at 2 am wanting to play. His naps became easier, too and he was well adjusted to his routine and crib in his own room. Kim was thoughtful, listened and was caring and empathetic as an accountabilty partner in this sleep journey. I would strongy recommend Sleeping Well Consulting for anyone who needs sleep and wants to get their baby or child on a good sleep pattern.

As a new parent, the single hardest struggle is getting enough sleep to feel like a human. When we found Kim we had tried multiple strategies for getting our newborn to sleep and it was rather frustrating to find most things don’t work. Luckily she was able to set us on the right path after hearing our unique situation and within a few weeks our daughter was sleeping much better. The stratagies she uses are very logical, but the best part is having someone who’s not running on 3 hours of sleep helping to guide you to make the right decisions.

Kim was s THE best!! If I could giver her 10 stars, I would. She helped us with our son and it was a true game changer. He went from only contact sleeping (which had me in a constant zombie state with a very sore back) to going to sleep on his own in less than a week. He now sleeps 10-12 hours at night and takes a 2.5 hour nap each day. We are beyond happy. Kim was incredibly accessible during the process. She developed a personalized plan catered to us and our son that worked like a charm. I could not be more satisfied and would recommend Sleep Well Consulting to every parent I know!

Had an amazing experience with Sleeping Well Consulting! Wish we would have consulted Kim earlier, as her program made a world of difference. Can't thank Kim enough, and recommend her to anyone needing help with a sleep program!

Kim was amazing from the very beginning! We were so impressed with how incredibly thorough and thoughtful she was throughout this entire process. Saw almost immediate results, and sleep continued improving through the program. Cannot say enough about her expertise! Amazing experience all around!

Kim helped our family navigate a challenging transition with experience, intelligence, compassion and grace. When we started working with her, I had been co-sleeping and nursing on demand throughout the night with our 18 month old since he was two months old. I didn't regret those 16 months, but I was ready for a change. Kim was able to guide us through the process of helping our son learn to put himself to sleep and then sleep through the night in his own crib. She was also extremely sensitive to and understanding of all of the difficult emotions that this change brought up for me. Her guidance throughout the process helped me move through those emotions to grow as a person and a parent. I am grateful for that evolution - and also for the fact that everyone in our family is getting better rest! Thank you, Kim.

I loved working with Kim to get our 4 year old back on track with a solid sleep routine! It was worth every penny. She is very detailed, but would not recommend getting just the basic package with the plan. You really need the support package to make it work in my opinion. I was in constant communication with her daily for weeks to make sure that we were responding correctly to different situations that came up with our toddler who pushes boundaries to the max! Sleep Well Consulting is a game changer if you’re struggling with getting your little ones to sleep and staying in bed all night!

Kim is the BEST!! When they say it takes a village, Kim is part of my village. As a mom of two, I’ve needed help with both the baby stage (3 months) and toddler stage. She’s been an incredible resource for my ongoing questions and I’m so grateful to have used her services. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner 😂 thank you Kim!!!
