Here is what some of our students have to say about the cradle coach academy
Student Love
"I am so thankful for this experience and in absolute shock over how many families are already on my waitlist.
Everything I learned from The Cradle Coach Academy has been priceless, ESPECIALLY regarding the business side of things. I'm a month into my business and have already earned back my initial investment!"
"I was drawn to TCCA for many reasons.
My favorite part of the program was the hands-on volunteer hours where I worked with families. I was provided with a mentor who reviewed my sleep plans and helped me troubleshoot through these first client experiences.
TCCA provided me with the education, support and feedback I needed to become a successful sleep consultant. In my first year in business I had the opportunity to support over 100 children achieve healthy sleep habits."
"I am amazed at the mentors' ability to be present for their students and juggle everything else they have going on in life.
I never felt neglected or like I was waiting on someone to continue moving forward with the course. Having access to their wealth of knowledge, experience and overall positivity was the most beneficial part of the Academy for me."

Listen to courtney's story
You have the passion and desire to help families who are struggling with their child’s sleep, but still have some uncertainty about starting your own business, finding clients and marketing yourself. This is a normal feeling that many of our students have felt. Don’t let that stop you – there are options!
Upon completion of the infant and toddler sleep consultant course, you can either choose to start your own business, or join an existing company that may be looking to hire.
Many of our students enroll thinking they will never start their own business but then they leave the program feeling confident and ready to try it out. They're so glad they did! Listen to grad Courtney Campbell's story on our podcast to hear how this worked out for her!
Fearful of Starting?
Become a sleep consultant
Are you ready to take your life to a whole new level?
I took the leap and got certified as a pediatric sleep consultant at The Cradle Coach Academy. Soon after, I launched Crib Coach in January of 2019 and since have hired a full team of sleep consultants to my company that serve families all over the world. It really was the passion that led me to serve my clients well that they in return referred me time and time again. I am so thankful I didn’t let my fear stop me from taking this certification and pursuing a career I truly love.
The results
I was scared to start. I became a sleep consultant after I became a mom and honestly, this “job” found me. I was in the thick of raising a new baby and developed severe anxiety. I did don’t even realize it was happening until my mom pointed it out. I reached out for help and just like that, it went away. Not to say I don’t still deal with anxiety - because I do! In fact, the thought of getting certified as a baby and toddler sleep consultant was really scary. I remember asking Melissa, “How in the world will I even find a client?” And she quickly reassured me that she would give me everything I would need to make it happen but it was my passion that would really lead me. And that it has.
The challenge
I am Jori Gardner, founder & lead sleep consultant for Crib Coach. I was born and raised in Southern Alberta and I have chosen to grow my family in this area as well. I married my Husband in the summer of 2015 and we welcomed our first son (Nolan) in June of 2017.
We were blessed to add our second son (Jaden) in March of 2020. I have now had the absolute privilege of working with thousands of families worldwide. I know that I have truly found my passion, especially when working with families and seeing their transformations. They transition from exhausted and stressed to excited, happy and empowered.

Each module is around 1 hour long, 26 total lecture hours. The majority of the time requirements will be in your experience “practicum” hours where you are fine tuning all you are learning. With coursework the average total commitment is 200+ hours and can take anywhere from 2-5+ months depending on how much time you commit per week.
If we could change one thing about what we do, we would change the term “sleep training”. When people hear about sleep training, they automatically think they will be forced to let their child cry. As your sleep guide, our mission here at TCCA is to find the right method of sleep plan that suits each unique family and situation. We don’t practice with one program or one method. We educate on many methods and our goal always is for our clients to choose a method that is presented to them, that they are comfortable with, one that suits their child’s personality and temperament. We will offer our clients the guidance and support that is needed to make it through the process.
Once you have graduated from The Cradle Coach Academy, the yearly requirements to continue your membership will be to take two new continuing education course, and maintain your insurance. TCCA provides continuing education for you multiple times per year at no additional cost to you. Everything is included in your initial tuition fee.
Once you have graduated from The Cradle Coach Academy, the growth of the business is up to you. How much time, energy, and tenacity you want to see your business do is based off how much you’re willing to hustle and serve your clients well. We’ve had some graduates reimburse their full tuition payment in under 1 month and others it took 4-6 months after launching their business. For inspiration on this, listen to this podcast episode with Lexi Teska, who earned back her tuition in just over a month, and this episode with Brittany Sheehan, who earned hers' back in the first month. If they did it, so can you!
Once you purchase the program, you will immediately receive a login and password to unlock the entire program. The program is all online!
Nope! Some students have waited, other students have launched, and some students have decided to use their certification to get hired at other postpartum care companies.

It was practical and evidence based. I loved the content and the organization of how the course was structured. I ask a lot of questions when learning, and the team always got back to me SO QUICKLY with answers and information and examples that made me feel fully listened to and confident in what I was learning.
The program itself was awesome!"

You don’t need letters after your name to get certified — just a heart to serve, a mind ready to learn, and the guts to go for it. If you’re here, it’s probably because something in you knows this is your next step. We trust that. And we’ll teach you the rest.
