Hello. My name is Stephanie Baker. I am a Certified Gentle Sleep Coach®, the owner of Sweet Sleep Solutions, and a proud mother of three girls.  Before I became a sleep coach, I worked in Information Security and Intel Analysis (very different from this job, I know).  I have a Bachelor's Degree from Loyola College in MD and was in the process of obtaining my Master's Degree from Johns Hopkins University when I switched careers.  Here is my story... Jamie was very colicky. She wouldn’t go to anyone else without screaming, including my husband. I was sleep-deprived and I felt so isolated and trapped at home. I also felt horrible for Jamie who just seemed so unhappy. To add fuel to the fire, my husband had to travel for 3 months. I needed help. I decided to get educated on childhood sleep. I read 5 sleep books, some more than once. I knew I needed to give Jamie the gift of sleep, but starting the process was so intimidating that I kept putting it off. Finally, I got the courage to begin. I was able to get Jamie to nap in HER crib and in HER room that first day, which was probably the single most empowering moment of being a mother for me. Within a week, Jamie was sleeping through the night without any nursing, rocking, swinging, dancing, sh-sh-ing. I couldn’t believe it! Jamie became such a happier, well-rested baby and my life improved drastically. With our second and third daughters, I was determined not to create any bad habits. I used the sleep techniques I learned, and the girls have both been great sleepers since day one. After teaching Jamie good sleep habits, I began using my favorite sleep book, “Good Night Sleep Tight” by Kim West to sleep coach many of my friend’s kids. I am passionate about it and I love helping and empowering other families. My friends joked that I should sleep coach for a living, but I never knew that this was possible. When I heard about Kim West’s certification program, which happens to be the most comprehensive sleep coaching program in the world, I jumped on it.
