“Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in a perfect light; I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night.”

Welcome to Well-Rested.

Your potential, your happiness, your relationships, and everything in-between depends on the quality of your sleep. 

Your own sleep is reflected in your parenting, your ability to cope, and the enjoyment that you gain from the parenting experience. Your child’s sleep is reflected in their behaviour, their wellness, and their aptitude.

You are here because you need some help. Let me guide you to the path of who you can be.

A well-rested family. 

What will sleep mean for your child?

A well-rested child has better brain development, better mood, less fussiness, and a better ability to adapt. Sleep is a learned skill. Well-Rested helps your family build those skills, creating a foundation for a lifetime of healthy sleep habits.

What will sleep mean for you?

With your commitment, I can help you to start enjoying the parenting experience the way you imagined. If you’ve just lost your way a little, I can help you to get back to that path you once envisioned. Increased patience, less resentment, less tears, more laughter. A lot of parents think that sacrificing their own sleep is part of becoming a parent. It doesn’t have to be. Better rest is within reach.

My Approach

  • Individualized

  • Research Backed

  • Safe

  • Supportive

Sleep is a need, but it is not one size fits all. I have been trained in all current sleep training methods and I do not adhere to one specific approach. During your consultation I discuss your needs and then tailor a plan specifically to your family! I help you sort through the compilation of factors that influence outcomes.

My job is to educate you on safe and healthy sleep and why it matters so much. The difference between reading a sleep book and hiring a sleep consultant is that I integrate all the best information while I develop a plan specifically for your family. There is a lot of contradictory information out there, and I help eliminate the guess work.

I help you implement your plan, and I am there to sort through issues that may arise. In coaching your family, I am also there to hold you accountable for your actions that can be disruptive to success. This is something that no book or online program can provide. My research-backed education, and solid professional network, enable a path to success. 

Every case is little bit different, but the most successful families are those who are committed, and those who are consistent. You and your child deserve all the positive things that come with better quality sleep, but it is important to know that you can’t expect change without making a change. If everything you are doing right now was working, then you wouldn’t be here. I assess your situation and advise you on the key changes.

What People are saying…

  • “Devon was amazing. We were having so much trouble getting our twins to fall asleep at a reasonable time, and her expertise and problem-solving skills got our girls' sleeping back on track. I can't say enough good things about our experience working with her." 

    -Mom of Hazel and Juliana, 2.5 year old twins

  • “Words cannot describe the joy of a full night sleep!  Devon came into our lives at the perfect time, our daughter (Eloise) was struggling to go to sleep and stay asleep throughout the night. Devon helped us consolidate her naps, built us a predictable sleep schedule and offered us some coping strategies as we worked through the difficult period. Devon continued to offer guidance and support throughout the whole process, and we could not have accomplished these results without her!”

     -Courtney & Brent Kelly, Eloise, age 5 months

  • “My husband and I had a terrific experience with Devon. Our 6-month-old son, Leo, was only napping for 30 minutes at a time.  Thanks to Devon, within a week, Leo's sleep improved dramatically. Leo is now sleeping a minimum of an hour during nap time - and often closer to two hours! My husband and I can now plan our days better, knowing we can count on time that Leo will be asleep.  We are no longer stressed about Leo's sleep and feel confident that our son is getting the rest he needs. We came to an agreement on a sleep plan that we were all comfortable with. Devon was always available for questions and guidance along the way.”

    -Katie Morrison, Leo, age 6 months

  • “Devon was fantastic! She kept me accountable and reassured me along the way. She helped me adapt and roll with the punches as we encountered them, always supporting and encouraging me!”

    -Mom of Aiden & Axel, 5 month old twins

  • “Our munchkin was waking almost every 3 hrs well past 1 yr old…. I thought I was going to lose my mind. My husband and I had different philosophies when it came to sleep and we were getting frustrated with each other and our lack of rest. Whisper helped us find strategies our family understood and could stick to. The way Devon paired her knowledge with kindness and honesty created many positive changes for our family- holding us all to account without blame or shame. Now that we sleep through the night we don’t understand why we didn’t seek out help sooner. I feel more confident as a mom and am ready to continue on this parenting journey now that I can think and sleep again. Thank you Devon! You are a goddess of sleep and good things!”

    -Manuela, mom of Anne, 17 months
