Meet Amanda, a registered social worker with unique expertise as a certified sleep consultant. A dedicated mother to two delightful daughters, Amanda has a fervent passion for aiding families in developing wholesome sleep routines. She boasts over a decade of experience in the realm of education and, in 2017, channelled her dedication to sleep wellness into founding Baby's Best Sleep.

Her methodology is anchored in evidence-based research, crafting personalized programs tailored to each client's needs, cementing her reputation as a trusted sleep authority.
In 2022, Amanda expanded her vision by launching Rest My Best, introducing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia treatments. This initiative, helmed by certified professionals, empowers adults to unlock their fullest potential through rejuvenating sleep. Amanda's philosophy is straightforward: Every individual deserves sound sleep, and she's unwavering in her commitment to making this a reality for all.
A charismatic voice in the world of sleep, Amanda also brings humour and insights as the creator and host of "The Slumber Party Podcast." With her amiable personality and profound knowledge, an invitation to Amanda's slumber party is one you wouldn't want to miss.
