About me

Hi, I’m Kelsey and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Pediatric Sleep Consultant. My sleep plans are evidence based and focus on the parent-child bond. I use a gentle approach that aims to strengthen attachment with your child. As an RCC, my sleep plans are covered under most extended benefits and insurance plans in BC. As a mom of two little ones, I also have firsthand knowledge of how sleep deprivation affects one’s mental health and wellbeing. I’ve been where you are and I want to give you hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Being a parent is tough, but getting good sleep doesn’t have to be.

Parent Coaching
Sometimes we need a bit more guidance and help with our little one’s big emotions and behaviours. Often we are breaking the cycle of how we were parented, which takes hard work. Parent coaching helps provide strategies to help strengthen the relationship between you and your child, focusing on attachment and gentle parenting.

Kelsey is absolutely amazing! She helped us achieve our sleep goals by creating a customized plan that worked for specifically our baby and our family. We had done so much reading but Kelsey helped catch small details we had missed or not placed enough importance on, which ended up making a huge difference! Our daughter is now the sleeper she was always meant to be because we know how to best support her! Kelsey was professional, supportive, and informative to work with. We felt instantly comfortable with her and would recommend her to anyone needing support with their baby.
