My Story
Ashley Cunningham
Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant
I am an educator at heart who loves to teach and serve families. With 12 years in special education, I’ve supported children with a wide range of needs and abilities. I’ve seen firsthand how a lack of sleep can affect a child’s mood, behavior, and success throughout the day.
As first-time parents, my husband and I didn't know how to get our daughter to sleep on her own. We were getting only four hours of sleep a night while still working full-time. We were desperate for sleep and rest.
We finally found restful nights' sleep when working with a certified pediatric sleep consultant. She helped us teach our daughter how to sleep independently and through the night. It was the best decision we made! Through that experience, I discovered a passion for helping families achieve their own sleep goals. I became a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant to help you and your little one achieve the rest you both need.
My Approach
I am certified through Rested Mama Academy. It is an approved public program within the Association for Pediatric Sleep Consultants.
I am certified in all sleep-learning methods. However, Association Fading is the approach I most often recommend. It is a gentle, responsive, evidence-based method—and the same approach I used to help both of my daughters learn to sleep independently. Most families see progress within 3–5 days, with many children sleeping 10+ hours overnight within a week.
My Mission
To help you and your little one achieve the sleep you both deserve by developing individualized schedules based on your child’s needs through personalized support.
