About Allison Egidi

I didn’t set out to become a pediatric sleep consultant.Like many working parents, I was simply trying to function, professionally and personally, on very little sleep.My oldest daughter struggled with sleep from the beginning. I read the books, followed the advice, and tried everything I could find. Nothing worked consistently. Sleep felt unpredictable, exhausting, and completely out of my control.By the time my second daughter was born, I hit a breaking point. I was working full-time, running on empty, and constantly feeling like I wasn’t showing up as the parent or professional I wanted to be.After to years of struggling, everything changed when we worked with a sleep consultant.With the right plan and support, our household finally started sleeping and the impact was immediate. I was able to show up the way I wanted to at home and at work. My daughter stopped catching every daycare virus, and she was calmer, happier, and more resilient.But what stayed with me was this question:Why was something so foundational so hard to figure out?I was shocked to learn that pediatricians typically receive just 0–3 hours of sleep education during medical training.That realization led me to dive deep into sleep science, child development, and behavior. I became certified and founded Sleep and Wellness Coach in 2016.Since then, I’ve worked with over a thousand families to help them improve their child’s sleep - from newborns through high school.My approach is practical, personalized, and grounded in how sleep actually works so families can see real, lasting change.
