Our Experts

Christine Lawler is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, mother of three (soon to be four!), lover of sleep, and founder of The Peaceful Sleeper, a sleep consulting company. She started The Peaceful Sleeper for two main reasons: she recognizes how critically important sleep is in all aspects of life, and she believes that many parents are under-informed or feel unnecessary guilt when it comes to sleep training and sleep coaching your baby.

Chrissy has been practicing therapy for 10 years now, and slowly started to realize that sleep issues were a common thread among all of her clients. So, she got some additional training in advanced sleep medicine and learned that many of the mental health challenges parents and their children face today stem from inadequate sleep.

After having babies herself, Chrissy realized that she functioned 1,000x better when she had slept. Chrissy read every book she could get my hands on about sleep training and realized that, though there are differences with every baby, there are a lot of universal truths about getting babies to sleep well and there are about a million reasons why it’s important that they do so.

Her goal as a sleep consultant is to take the stress out of sleep training and get everyone in the family a good night’s rest!

Carianna sought out the world of pediatric sleep after graduating with my Master’s in Exercise Physiology. She had 2 boys and quickly learned how precious (and tricky) sleep could be as a mom! After realizing how much more there was to learn about pediatric sleep AND how much she wanted to share this knowledge with other struggling families, she decided to become a pediatric sleep consultant.

Carianna became a Certified Sleep Consultant through the Institute of Pediatric Sleep and Parenting in 2017 as well as a member of the International Association of Child Sleep Consultants.
