Conversations with Rachel Timmins

Today we’d like to introduce you to Rachel Timmins

Hi Rachel, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
My sleep journey started as a new mom trying to navigate the world of sleep and the abundance of infant sleep information (a lot of which was conflicting). I hired a sleep expert to support myself and my son, the experience was life changing for both of us! As a healthcare professional with a desire to advocate, support, and care for families in the same way I was supported was a natural next step for me. Upon completing my Pediatric Sleep Consultant and Newborn Care Specialist programs, I joined my mentor’s team Sleep Shore Sleep Consulting. Today I provide 1:1 and group offerings for clients in all aspects of their parenting/sleep journey; prenatal, postpartum support, newborn care essentials/foundations, sleep shaping, 1:1 customized infant and toddler sleep support, group sleep training and in person sleep/newborn support. I have had the opportunity to impact families throughout the country and internationally to restful nights and happy days with their children.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I am blessed to have an incredible support system and mentor in this journey. Being a working mom and jumping in with both feet into the Pediatric and Newborn Care programs was an undertaking; however in retrospect, it was a blip on the radar to get to where I am today! It has not always been a smooth journey but what bumps I have encountered have been just that, speed bumps, winding roads along the journey of making an impact on the families that trust me to support them and their children.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
As a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant and Newborn Care specialist I specialize in providing customized sleep and newborn support plans for my clients. My approach to sleep and newborn support is that of a team effort, beginning with a free consult call, personalized package and support recommendations, followed by a comprehensive intake and customized sleep/newborn support plan based on each individual family’s needs and goals. Offering a realistic and flexible approach based on each client’s individual goals, family dynamic, and situation we achieve results! Once a sleep/newborn plan is implemented I provide individual support for the duration of the program to achieve a 100% success rate! Post sleep/newborn program I offer continued support to families for questions, concerns, travel planning, nap transitions with a membership support program. The support program provides families direct access to me for continuity and continued sleep success throughout the duration of their child’s early years.

Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
