We had a toddler dealing with extreme separation anxiety at night. It led to us having to sleep on the floor next to his crib for four very long and seemingly hopeless months. Every method we tried to get him to sleep on his own had failed and ended up adding to his anxiety. We asked our pediatrician what to do, and his answer was Ellanee! According to him, she had a 100% success rate with his patients he’s referred. We were super impressed (though slightly nervous we would be the first unsolvable case because of how desperate it felt haha)
From the very start Ellanee was super positive, funny, and encouraging. We did the course plus coaching. Her ideas were approachable and tailored to our son and his personality. Working directly with her was amazing - she gave real time feedback and was able to help us pivot as needed. It’s been two weeks since we started working with her - our son is now sleeping through the night in his room by himself. And he is SO happy and proud of himself. His anxiety is nearly completely gone and his confidence is taking off. We are so grateful to Ellanee and would recommend her 1000% to anyone.
Ellanee’s guide will help you think through tricky sleep situations, but never make you feel judged. Her flexible methods have saved my sanity over and over!
This is a ridiculously long review, but if you landed on this page, I’d venture to guess there’s at least a 62% chance you’re up in the middle of the night trying to find some answers on how to get your kid to just freaking sleep. So you’ve go the time.
Hi! You were me!
On a sleepless night many months ago, the Almighty Instagram Algorithm bestowed upon me the gift of Ellanee Wilson.
My 3.5 year old’s relationship with sleep has always been horrible. My daughter is wickedly intelligent, independent as they come, and ferociously stubborn. All traits that will serve her quite well in this lifetime, but also makes toddlerhood exceptionally hard.
My daughter hates sleep. So she doesn’t. Since infancy she’d struggle with multiple middle or the night wake ups, and as she got older it only intensified. Middle of the night screaming and tantruming had become our norm. Over the course of her 3.5 years, I purchased and studied 5 different sleep courses (one celebrity endorsed, some Instagram “famous”) and hired a local sleep consultant.
Nothing worked. And often different approaches only intensified our problem.
I felt like I was failing and I felt like there was a part of her that was broken. I reached out to Ellanee after a particularly difficult night, and I’m so thankful I did.
Ellanee’s techniques WORK. On a technical note, she had a plan for my daughter that was tailored to her. A curated approach for her spicy, fiery nature - one that made sense and that I could rally behind.
On a personal note, I was met with solidarity, relatability, humor and above all, judgement free support. When you’re beaten down with enough sleepless and tear filled nights - you’ll learn just how valuable those things are.
In less than week, my daughter was sleeping through the night. So now I get to sleep through the night and all of my children have a better mom because of it.
Is bedtime perfect? No. She’s 3.5 - c’mon. But she’s sleeping. And falling asleep independently. And staying asleep until a reasonable morning hour.
Buy the course. Tell your friends to buy it too. Honestly, Ellanee is the real deal. It won’t disappoint..
Just when we thought we had sleep all
figured out my toddler decided to start training for the Olympics (in the crib vault category). After many sleepless nights and frustration we contacted Ellanee who came to our rescue with her Tackling Toddler Sleep Course. We were presented with multiple age appropriate sleep interventions that best matched our child’s personality. With the support and guidance of Ellanee we were able to successfully transition our toddler to an open bed and give him the tools to be able to put himself back to sleep during those pesky night wakings. We highly recommend this course and working with Ellanee as restful nights are in the near future!
I found Ellanee and I can’t thank the Universe enough that I did!!! I purchased her Baby Sleep Basics Guide and worked one-on-one with her. She is incredible!!!
She literally tailored methods to help my childs and our needs. She eased my anxiety every single time it came up.
I now have a toddler who puts herself to sleep at bedtime and nap time. And i am finally getting some sleep!!!!!!
I highly recommend working with Ellanee and her courses! And her in general!!! Shes real, funny, kind and just knows what shes talking about.
Having purchased the Baby Sleep Basics Guide I knew I would be in safe hands once we reached the ever changing sleep patterns of our toddler.
Having built bad habits over some time, particularly following some illnesses and sleep regressions, we needed a little extra support.
I cannot extol enough, the power of having Ellanee in your corner when it comes to bedtime.
For me, the beauty of Ellanee is the confidence she gives you to hold your chosen boundaries and follow your chosen strategy for a better night’s sleep for all !!
Thank you Ellanee, for taking our gremlin and giving us back our Gizmo!
This guide gave me all the confidence to take my 11mo co-sleeping breastfed-to-sleep baby and put them in their own bed! With the advice within this guide, we got our baby sleeping through the night in their own cot in 2 nights.
No, I couldn’t believe it either!
A must have for those wanting to support their baby with lots of different methods. A sound investment for great sleep!
i had a really bad 4 month sleep regression with my newborn… like i was not sleeping more than 45min-1hr at a time. it lasted for weeks because bad habits crept up as we were so desperate… we started a pacifier, i started to nurse to sleep, then i started to contact nap then we were bedsharing and then i was up rocking and holding my baby for weeeeeeks which turned to months. i was following ellanee for a while and purchased her baby sleep guide and started to implement some better sleep habits so i could feel like a normal human being again. and honestly, it was a game changer… i could finally put my baby down in his crib and he would put himself to sleep. this guide is easy to follow and the sample schedules work so well for us… i still refer back to this when there’s a blip in my baby’s sleep!
I’ve had Ellannee on my speed dial for 2 years now (haha)
I first met her when she spoke at a mommy and me group and have since worked with her 1:1. She is very knowledgeable on every stage of sleep from a coaching level and as being a mom herself. She is quick to reply and will answer all your questions in such an objective way. She’s got multiple tricks up her sleeve! We also have a new newborn and I know I’ll reach out again soon to help with him and our upcoming room sharing with sibling situation.
Ellanee is the witty, charismatic mom friend you love plus a certified sleep coach extraordinaire. This combination makes it incredibly easy to connect with Ellanee who is genuinely interested in your family and you as you navigate customizing evidence-based sleep methods and tools.
I started following Ellanee on Instagram several years ago when we welcomed our first son and I needed to build my sleep confidence. After 2+ years of great sleep, my husband and I began to face nap refusal, epic bedtime tantrums, and 4am wake-ups with our toddler. This coincided with the birth of our second son and I fell apart running on little to no sleep.
Tackling Toddler Sleep immediately gave me hope since when I launched the course, I saw the thoughtful layout of topics that are separated in bite-sized clips. This made it easy to navigate, tackle, and review. Additionally, having 3 weeks of support via the group calls was a no-brainer to make sure I was on track and talk through hurdles.
Thank you, Ellanee, for making me a better mom and spouse who one day at a time is learning how to support my son, celebrate his/our success, and experience quality sleep!
