My journey To Becoming A Sleep Training Master

I was exhausted, frustrated and my baby Was not sleeping.

I loved motherhood but I missed sleeping. I couldn’t get my daughter to sleep and bedtime was not getting any easier. Yes, early on in my mom years I also struggled with getting my newborn baby to sleep. Just three weeks after my daughter, Lucia, was born, my husband took on a new job and was gone for long stretches of time. I was on my own and my daughter was not sleeping!

Here’s the thing–I LOVE Sleep.

(formerly tired) Mom, Wife, Certified Sleep Sense™ Consultant

I love going to bed early and feeling rested. But my 4 month old and I were both struggling. I could not understand why my baby was not sleeping well. She would spend her nights crying and the quality of our sleep was atrocious. I was getting up 6 or more times a night for a quick feed and then back to bed!

Don’t get me wrong, motherhood was blissful and lovely, but it was also exhausting . . . Not at all what I expected.

I began to experience what so many other new parents had gone through. I was up in the middle of the night, frantically reading parenting books and searching Google for any advice on how to get your baby to sleep but NOTHING was working.

Something had to change…


 I *Finally* slept and Andi Metzler Sleep Consulting Was Born

After EXTENSIVE research, I learned about a method to teach baby to sleep that was easy to use and stick with to get a good night's sleep. I went from being exhausted and overwhelmed to feeling well rested AND having several hours to myself each day. My daughter learned to take healthy naps and sleep through the night.

Dana Obleman’s Sleep Sense™ training method WAS LIFE CHANGING for our family. Getting my baby’s sleep under control made life with my sweetest dream, even sweeter. I had more patience with my son, more energy to actually enjoy the day and some well needed “me time” every single night.

Even better, my passion for sleep had launched a career.


My Passion To Make A Difference met The Sleep Sense™ Method

 

I founded Andi Metlzer Sleep Consulting to help other parents that struggle with a sleep routine. Inspired by my own life-changing sleep training experience, I had to jump on an airplane to meet Obleman and learn about the successful sleep program which has helped over 57,000 families. Simply put, I wanted to learn from the best. While most sleep coaches are “self-taught” or have taken a cheap online class, I’ve invested heavily in my career as a sleep training professional. I’ve trained under one of the most well-respected experts in the field, and am proud to be a Certified Sleep Sense™ Consultant and founder of Andi Metzler Sleep Consulting.

 
I slept, I got back ‘me-time,’and now I help others do the same!

I am grateful every single day that I have the tools and skills to support families in getting the sleep they so desperately need. Sleep training worked for me because it is easy to follow, and you get results. After just a few nights of using the sleep training advice, my daughter was sleeping through the night . . . and so was I.

What do I do with my ‘Me-Time’?

I married my college sweetheart and we live in South California with our two kids, Salvadore and Lucia. Luckily–with the good night’s sleep we get–we enjoy family time, aka, “me time.” When the kids sleep we indulge in great food & wine (among other things). I also love traveling and spending time outside. I love a great workout class, yoga, and any form of dancing–whether it be tearing up a dance floor or having a dance party in the kitchen with my kids.

“My husband and I really wanted a baby. It was very difficult for this to happen for us so we relied on the support of fertility treatments. First round, and bam! We were pregnant. We were SO excited. We took every class, read every book, watched every app. I was ready for nursing, car seat safety, and how to put on every baby carrier on the market. We were ready to feel tired. We weren’t prepared to teach sleep skills because that wasn’t offered by anyone, anywhere. All we heard was “get ready to never sleep again” and we were ready for that! Being tired isn’t a big deal. We got this…

I felt awful. I felt sick. I felt guilty and ashamed and my anxiety was out of hand. I even needed to go back on anti- anxiety medication. I couldn’t live like this. My son Navy turned 4 months and we started sleep training. The decision to do so completely changed my life. I didn’t dread my time with my son and I was able to get back to spending time with my husband. My mental and physical health improved drastically.

Prior to taking the plunge into the wonderful world of sleep training, I spent about 25 years in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I oversaw many cases of children with Autism and other behavioral needs, while offering support and parent training. As a team, we focused on the teaching of positive behavior and decreasing the need for children to engage in maladaptive behaviors. This behavior modification was data driven and implemented with the full support of the team. With my extensive experience in the field of ABA, sleep training spoke to my heart! I not only loved being able to see the progress through daily data collection, but I felt as though it was a team effort to teach my son one of the most important life skills. My goal is to ensure every family feels as though they have a team behind them from start to finish. "

Testimonials Andi Metzler Sleep Consultant

And now, A Sleep Story…

“I am a married, late 30’s father of an energetic and wonderful 2 year old boy…who wouldn’t sleep in his own bed. It was causing my wife and me sleepless nights which affected my work and our relationship. If we put him in his crib, he cried uncontrollably and would not stop until he made himself sick. When he slept with us, he found a way to take up the entire king size bed. I was losing my mind! We decided to work with Andi knowing that we really had nothing to lose, but I was a little skeptical because “our situation seemed so unique.” She was very comforting during our initial consult and she laid out a very specific and easy to follow plan. In less than 2 weeks our son is asking to go “night-night” himself and is sleeping through the night with no fuss. I can’t thank Andi enough for giving us our bed back.”
