Hilary is amazing and I highly recommend her for anyone who has a child that struggles with sleep. I came to Hilary with my oldest son who was 8 yrs old and has a hard time with anxious thoughts at nighttime. I’ve been co-sleeping with him for years and needed to break the habit. Hilary was so kind and comforting for my son and really attentive to his needs. She laid out a detailed playbook on how to overcome his sleep challenges. It took some time but he finally became comfortable in his own bed.

If you follow her system, it will work!

We had issues with our 8 yo daughter for about 2 years prior to working with Hilary. Our daughter would go to bed around 7, but would come downstairs about 5-10 times an evening, and we’d often find her sleeping on the floor of our room in the morning. She was exhausted and so were we. She kept saying she was scared to go to bed, and always had nightmares. Hilary explained the procedure to our daughter in a way that she understood. We used the techniques that were taught to us by Hilary to get our daughter to have positive associations with her bed, and bedtime. We were diligent, and noticed a huge improvement in evening/night wakings right away. Within 6-8 weeks, she was sleeping through the night, with no evening visits to us. I cannot stress enough how much this improved the quality of life of our family. Our daughter has learned techniques to self regulate, and she now is a great sleeper.

Hilary and her Confident Sleepers program have been a HUGE blessing for our family - Our 9-yr-old daughter had literally never slept through the night - had never gone to sleep in her own bed due to extreme anxiety and night terrors. She was terrified of the dark and being alone at night. When I look back at our intake form it's shocking just how sleep-deprived we ALL were and how her night-time anxiety ruled our lives. Sometimes you don't realize *how* bad it is until you know different!

We were perhaps the slowest success story of all time and needed to start at step 0.25, but after about 8 or 9 weeks of Hilary's gentle coaching and consistent efforts, our girl has now been able to go to sleep in her own bed and stay all night more nights than not - she graduated from the Confident Sleepers program about 7 months ago 🙂 Hilary never gave up on us!

We now have the knowledge and skills to go back to the basics if there are any regressions (like after travel or illness). Our girl's anxiety pops up only about 10% of the time, vs every night. The whole family is sleeping better and our girl has much more energy and fortitude through the day at school, at home and in sports.

Hilary's program was life-changing for our family. I only wish we'd found her sooner! 10/10 recommend!

I am so grateful we were introduced to Hilary. Our 4 year old daughter was having a LOT of difficulty around bedtime, starting when we moved her out of her crib and into a toddler bed, and that difficulty lasted a year and a half. Finally we decided to seek help, and Hilary delivered. Not every night is perfect, and our daughter is very high energy, so going to bed is tough, but the difference between pre-Hilary and post-Hilary is night and day. Highly recommend her if you're looking for a sleep consultant for your toddler or young kiddo!

Our family is so grateful for our time working with Hilary. We were able to work at just the right pace for our family. Our check in meetings were always super impactful. Our time with Hilary gave our daughter tools she will use for life. Thank you!

We used Hilary for assistance with sleep training our two boys when they turned 3 years old. However, we still wanted to co-sleep with our sons due to our culture and preferences. Hilary taught us how we could put our children to sleep first (earlier in the evening), then join them later when we were done chores/work, etc. Hilary was extremely helpful and resourceful, offering ideas and insight that I was not able to obtain from reading numerous books on sleep training. She is extremely intuitive and her services were priceless. She provided us hours of freedom in the evening to work or enjoy time with each other giving us a better marriage. I highly recommend Hilary as she has demonstrated that children can be independent in sleeping, get better sleep, more restful sleep (without waking at night) and, therefore, happier throughout the day. Happy parents means happy children. I highly recommend Hilary for any family!

I had such a great experience using Hilary as a sleep coach! She took the time to get to know my family and my child as a unique individual, she was responsive and easy to reach, was interested in my priorities and values as a parent, and she gave sleep strategies that were both practical as well as kind and focused on boosting our bond with our toddler. The strategies she gave were easy to put into place and relationally focused. They worked almost immediately. Our toddler went from having an intense sleep regression that was keeping us up all night to sleeping through the night in only a few nights. I always recommend her to friends whenever their kiddos are struggling with sleep.

Hilary has been such an incredible help!!! We are now all sleeping again and our 6 month old is no longer waking up every hour at night! Hilary is extremely knowledgeable and helped guide us in teaching our little one to sleep! She was extremely generous with her time and was in touch daily by phone or email to answer any of our questions and help troubleshoot. I’m not sure what we would have done without her guidance. We were in a really bad place with sleep and now we have a sleeping baby! Not only is he sleeping, but he goes down without crying and wakes up peacefully. I would highly recommend Hilary if you’re looking to help your little one sleep:)
