About
Hello! I am Hillary Catherine. Thank you for visiting my page. If you are here you are likely a tired parent, like I was not so long ago. I woke up with my son throughout the night for months, convinced I was doing what was best for him. Finally I hired a sleep consultant who helped me change my family’s life. Suddenly we were all sleeping. Our jobs (professional and as parents) became easier. Our days became lighter. Most importantly, our happy baby became even happier. I was rested, rejuvenated, and inspired! With a background in child psychology and development, I decided to pursue a career as a sleep consultant. Years later, I now have two happy sleepers and have helped families all over the country find their sleep too!
I have dedicated my life to learning how to help children and parents lead happier and healthier lives. I studied at Columbia University where I received masters degrees in psychological counseling and school counseling. As an undergrad, I studied psychology, minored in human development and family studies, and spent a summer studying positive psychology and happiness in Copenhagen, Denmark. I have worked as an elementary, middle, and high school counselor to help children and their families find their best paths to success and happiness. Becoming a sleep consultant was an easy decision, and I was honored to be chosen to study under Dana Obelman, founder of the Sleep Sense Program. Today, I live with my family just outside of Washington, DC but regularly work with clients all over the country.
I believe that a well rested child is happy, curious, and ready to take on challenges. Teaching your child the skills to sleep through the night is a valuable gift. I am excited to help you find your sleep.

Success Stories
“Hillary was patient, kind, and so easy to work with. She came up with a custom plan using tested methods that also took into account our baby and family. She was so responsive to all of our calls, texts, and emails. After two weeks of following the program, our sweet 6 month old was sleeping through the night and napping consistently each day for longer periods. My husband and I have our nights back, and best of all our sweet 6 month old is a happier better rested child. I can’t recommend Hillary highly enough!!”
“Hillary’s advice has been a lifesaver - we had our initial meeting with her prior to our daughter’s birth and it was so eye-opening. There was so much I didn’t know about newborn sleep cycles! With her guidance, we’ve been able to get our baby into a routine that has made life so much easier - something I didn’t
know would be possible so early on! Thank you so much!!!”
“Before we started working with Hillary our daughter had no set nap or sleep schedule, and was sleeping in our bed every night. Now we have a 9 month old that is consistently sleeping through the night in her crib, and getting the naps she needs during the day. Our daughter is now so happy to have started getting the rest she really needed. We’re so grateful our little girl is getting the naps she needs for further development and sleeping through the night so she can enjoy her days even more! Thank you so much, Hillary!”
