I was amazed that in just 1-2 weeks, my 18 months son was (finally) sleeping through the night! Jodi took as much time as needed to fully discuss everything. What I loved best was how extremely sweet, patient, supportive, understanding, and positive Jodi remained throughout the entire process. She really took the time to go over all the questions (I had a million), concerns, worries, and helpful mama tips. She’s the best and does not disappoint. She is available all the time and she made sure my husband and I were emotionally doing well in the process. Not only did Jodi help us with my son’s sleep but she also provided so many helpful tips and advice for the new baby that I am expecting. I am so grateful I found Jodi and I am amazed how my son sleeps on his own now.   For anyone who is considering sleep training just Do It! And for anyone who is considering hiring a helping hand who is also a mom and was once in the same situation, call Jodi!

I have 4-year-old fraternal twins.  Before our sleep plan with Rest Sleep Rise, I dreaded the bedtime routine.  My kids never fell asleep before 9:30 or 10:00 PM.  My son was waking multiple times per night and constantly coming to my bed.  He was also struggling with some behaviors at daycare, and both were fighting for space next to me in bed.  Now that we have successfully instituted our sleep plan, I am able to put my kids in bed, tuck them in, and have them happily say, "Goodnight, Mama."  I walk out of their rooms before 8:00 PM!  And they both sleep through the night!  Bonus: My son's behavior at daycare has vastly improved.  Sleep is everything!!  I will be forever grateful to Jodi and her expertise, guidance and compassion while we worked together--she has essentially given me "my time" back!  Our sleep plan through Rest Sleep Rise has given me quality sleep and improved the energy in my whole house!  Thank you a million times over!

We cannot emphasize enough just how much Jodi helped our family! Our infant son was always a notoriously poor napper, and he would only nap if he was laying on one of us. To further complicate matters, he had also stopped sleeping through the night.  We consulted Jodi after weeks of struggle, and now we wish we had contacted her sooner.  She carefully and casually explained everything we were going to work on with our son, stopping so she could ensure we understood our roles, expectations, and schedules.  She was friendly, approachable, and insightful. More importantly, though, she was someone who we could rely on, regardless of the time, and who cheered us on through the entire process. We owe our success to her, and we recommend her to anyone whose child or children have sleep difficulties. 

My 4.5 year old daughter no longer slept in her bed at night.  She unfortunately suffers from severe anxiety.  I was too tired to put up a fight and was also worried about her mental state and emotional well-being.  I wanted to contact a sleep consultant but didn't even know where to begin because I needed a GOOD one- someone with experience working with children her age who also have anxiety.  I put my feelers out there in some mom groups, and one mom suggested Rest Sleep Rise. Jodi is incredibly knowledgeable and comforting. She supports your emotional state and keeps you on track even when you get discouraged and really keeps you in a positive mindset.   She encourages you to stay positive and keep sticking to the plan even during bad nights.  Most importantly, she reminded me to STAY CONSISTENT.  The visuals Jodi had us create for my daughter REALLY helped. Jodi had also explained to us that at her age, it is very important for our daughter to know what we expect from her. This is key information! I've learned that now that she knows what to expect, the transition to sleep is much smoother. I could never thank Jodi enough for EVERYTHING she has taught me, all the support she has given me, and the encouragement and positive reinforcement she's given me. She truly is a miracle worker and the kindest woman who has made this process SO EASY!

I was having a horrible time with my 6 month old until I contacted Rest Sleep Rise.  He was waking up everyone two hours around the clock sometimes every hour, now he is sleeping through the night (so we’re all much happier) I saw results immediately and it was such a pleasure working with Jodi Willenborg!  I recommend anyone having sleep issues with their child to contact her and you will not be disappointed.  

Jodi is a sleep whisperer. She’s extraordinarily knowledgeable about sleep issues affecting children of all ages. We needed help with our toddler’s recent sleeping patterns - a serious lack of sleep for the whole family - and Jodi came to the rescue. Her insights and guidance were highly customized and very effective. The plan that she developed was so thorough and bespoke for our own child and family. She then provided hands on follow up support and guidance along the way - adapting as needed to the lessons that we were learning about our toddler. I absolutely and highly recommend Jodi to any parent / caregiver seeking empathetic, expert, safe, and effective guidance on improving children’s - and families’ - sleep! 

Our 6 month old was not sleeping through the night at all. We were struggling with naps and constant nighttime wakes ups. Jodi helped us get him on a nap schedule, fall asleep on his own, and best of all sleep through the night. After one week we could put him in his crib at bedtime and have him sleep until the morning in his own room. She worked with our daycare to help with naps, and we are all FINALLY getting the sleep we need. Jodi was helpful, responsive, and only a text away.

When we transitioned our 2.5 year old daughter away from her pacifier, she experienced a major sleep regression. Her usual 2-2.5hr naps stopped immediately and bedtime became a 2-3hr screaming ordeal every night. I was frustrated, angry, upset, generally all over the place because my previously great napper who went to bed on her own was suffering from lack of sleep and it showed. I never should have waited as long as I did to get help. Jodi was my ray of sunshine during this dark time. She put me at ease. She took into consideration where my daughter was developmentally and worked with our sleeping situation. Within a week of a two week program, my daughter was having quiet time in her crib (without screaming) and she was falling asleep on her own at bedtime. Jodi was always a quick text message away if we ever needed anything, especially for the first couple of nights. We have regained a sense of quiet in the middle of the day and our evenings we can spend doing other hobbies we never could do before. I am forever grateful for Jodi for helping us regain a sense of normalcy in a crazy world.
