Sleep is one of the most important foundations of a child's well-being. It supports healthy brain development, strengthens memory, and helps children feel more secure, adaptable, and emotionally balanced. And it's just as vital for parents-chronic sleep deprivation can take a serious toll on your mood, focus, and overall health.
There are many reasons children struggle with sleep-overtiredness, overstimulation, difficulty self-soothing, physical discomfort, poor sleep environments, hunger, or even a growth spurt. And when your child isn't sleeping, you aren't either! The good news? You don't have to figure it out alone-better sleep is possible and your family can get Rooted in Rest.
Elaina is a certified pediatric sleep consultant, a seasoned pediatric nurse with over 20 years of experience, and-most importantly-a proud mom of five. Her journey into sleep consulting began not in a classroom, but in the heart of her own home-rocking tired babies, pacing hallways at 2 am, and learning through trial, error, and a whole lot of love.
Like many parents, Elaina once found herself completely exhausted-juggling the needs of a growing family while desperately trying to get just a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. With a deep background in pediatric healthcare, she knew how vital sleep was for both children and parents. Still, she struggled to find realistic, supportive solutions that honored her intuition as a mom. Thats when she began digging deeper, researching everything she could about sleep science and child development-and applying those insights to her own family.
What she discovered changed her life: sleep is a skill, and every child is capable of learning it.
Now, Elaina combines her medical knowledge, personal experience, and evidenced-based strategies to help families like yours find rest. Her approach is rooted in compassion, connection, and the belief that there's no one-size-fits-all solution.
