Loyal Client
I took Summer’s Sleep Secrets program in 2018. I am so glad I did! At the time, I was a trained Newborn Care Specialist, and I was looking to expand my knowledge base to be able to help families sleep train their older babies and toddlers. If you are looking for a Newborn Care Specialist or Sleep Training Program, please take Summer’s courses. What you learn is invaluable, but you will also have access to one of the best mentors in the industry. Summer is amazing, and I am grateful to learn from her!
