The Hatch

Ellanee Wilson is a certified pediatric sleep coach and mom of 2 (soon to be 3) girls. She studied English and psychology in college at UC Santa Cruz and was a high school English teacher for 8 years before totally switching careers to focus on helping moms with their childrens’ sleep. Although she was self-studied in the area of pediatric sleep since her first daughter was born in 2015, she was officially certified (through the International Parenting and Health Institute’s sleep program) as a consultant in 2019 and started her pediatric sleep coaching business, Sleep Coach Mom, in September 2019. Pre-pandemic, she decided to leave teaching before the 2020 school year and focus solely on helping families sleep. She finds giving moms the support she wished she had through her first child’s sleep issues is just as rewarding (if not more) than being in the classroom.

She has a free Facebook group, Sleep Coach Mom - Team Sleep, for moms to ask questions about their childrens’ sleep, and she gives infant and toddler tips regularly and has a Sleep Q&A every Thursday on her Instagram, @sleep_coach_mom. Her website (for one-on-one coaching) is sleepcoachmom.com, or you can email her directly at ellanee@sleepcoachmom.com

What's your word of the year? Have you ever chosen a song of the year? For many years I didn't see what all the hype was about when it came to these things.
