"Shanna was a godsend!!! She saved my sanity and helped my 9 month old and I finally get the sleep we both desperately needed! My son went from waking 2-3 times at night and only taking 20-30 minute naps (or longer if it was a contact nap) to sleeping through the night (10-12 hours straight) and taking hour plus naps in his crib in as little as 3 weeks!"
Taryn Van Der Heyden
Mom of 10 month old
"Shanna gave us a piece of our life back! We were up 6+ times a night with our 6 month old. Rocking her to sleep and failing to put her down over and over, and even resulting to sleeping upright in a chair. My husband and I have our evenings back and our sleep. I had no idea how much we needed help but Shanna changed our lives in one week!"
