Allison Egidi, Founder of Sleep and Wellness Coach, LLC
Hi there! I like to think of myself as someone who, for the most part, has been able to accomplish anything I really set my mind to. That is until my first daughter Addison was born. Wow, was that a humbling experience.
And the sleep… ooooh, the sleep. Everyone said it would get better…at 4 months, at 6 months, at 12 months…eventually?? I read the books and got endless amounts of advice from friends and family, but my daughter’s sleep was like a roller coaster ride I couldn't get off!
After nearly 2 years of sleep deprivation and hitting my breaking point (truly the lowest I’ve ever felt), I stumbled upon a sleep coach and 11 days after implementing her sleep plan, my entire family was getting great sleep. I handled sleep very differently with my second daughter and she was sleeping through the night at just 8 weeks! These two experiences inspired my obsession with sleep. I ultimately earned my pediatric sleep consultant certification from the Family Sleep Institute and founded Sleep and Wellness Coach in 2016.
I earned a BA in Economics and Government from the University of Virginia. Prior to focusing on sleep full-time, I was a Vice President in BMO Capital Markets' Securitization group in Chicago, IL and the Associate Vice President of Development at the College Foundation of the University of Virginia. I live in Keswick, Virginia, with my husband Michael and two daughters.
Sophie Kuzjak, Sleep Coach
Hi, my name is Sophie. I’m a military spouse and mom of two girls, ages three and one. I grew up in South Carolina and attended Clemson University. After a career in the Air Force, I decided to leave the military to pursue my passion of helping other parents!
When my daughter was younger, we struggled with her sleep. It is a miserable feeling and one that no one should have to experience! We worked with Allison to finally get the rest our family desperately needed. I then pursued a certification in pediatric sleep consulting and eventually joined Allison’s team. My favorite part about being a sleep coach is supporting parents through sleep issues and witnessing the transformation to improved relationships and happier families!
Ellen Hayden, Sleep Coach
Hi, I'm Ellen! My passion for pediatric sleep started when my son, Dominic, was 4 months old. On top of my husband and I being completely sleep deprived, anytime we tried to put our son down he started to get so angry... to the point that we could not console him. We tried to do ALL of the research on our own. After many attempts and trials, we couldn’t pinpoint what was preventing him from sleeping. Finally, just like you, we discovered Sleep and Wellness Coach and it was an answered prayer to our family and our sleep!
After working with Allison and seeing the immediate results, I became extremely passionate about helping other families find this type of success. Although this may seem like one of the most challenging times, rest assured that you have found the solutions that will help you get sleep back into your lives!
