About Me

Hello! I'm Nicole Bullard, a mom of 2, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant.

​

I received my Master's of Science degree in Counseling and Behavioral Psychology in 2010 and became board certified in Behavior Analysis that same year.  I have worked with families for 20 years and children with autism for 15 years, and it was then when I realized the devastating effects that sleep deprivation can have on children and their families.

​

My passion for sleep began long before having children, but it wasn't until my daughter was born in 2016 and my son was born in 2019 that I gained some humbling perspective.  If sleep deprivation is affecting your mental and physical health, your relationships, your job and your overall well-being, I have been in your shoes and I am here to help you through it.

​

Like many other sleep consultants, my children have given me hands-on experience in the world of pediatric sleep and all of its ups and downs.  My background in human behavior and my degree in counseling and behavioral psychology allows for a deeper understanding of all the variables involved, which sets me apart from your typical sleep consultant.  I hope I can support you on your journey to better sleep with a customized plan that works best for your family.

My Philosophy

My sleep plans are tailored to your family's needs and comfort levels.  I personally do not believe a "cry it out" method or extinction is necessary to teach a child to sleep.  I allow parents to choose their approach depending on their comfort level with crying and protest, after I educate them on the various options and the expected duration of each.  

​

Sleep is essential to all aspects of our physical and mental well-being.  As a parent, our emotional well-being and cognitive function is essential for the health and wellness of our children, and a lack of sleep can jeopardize this.  In addition, I believe that a healthy relationship with sleep can begin in as early as infancy.  When you invest in teaching your child to learn to fall asleep independently, you are giving them a gift of health and happiness that they can carry into adulthood.
