  • Kelli Wixom- Silver Moon Sleep Consulting
    Kelli Wixom is the owner of Silver Moon Sleep Consulting. She’s a proud Army wife and mother to two beautiful children. After the birth of her son, she soon discovered what true sleep deprivation was. From the moment she brought him home from the hospital, he was up multiple times a night! Every day, she woke up cranky, beyond exhausted, and found herself becoming anxious every time nighttime would roll around. She didn't know what to expect and really came to hate bedtime. Kelli would cry every night, wondering why her sweet child wouldn't sleep! She was always wondering WHY did he only sleep for 30-60 minutes at a time before she had to help him back to sleep? WHY did he fall asleep so quickly in her arms, only to wake up screaming when she put him down in the crib? WHY was the only method the pediatrician was recommending was to leave her baby in his room to cry it out until morning? When her son was 2.5 years old, She discovered a sleep consultant and hired her immediately. The consultant had him sleeping through the night in just 4 days! It was LIFE CHANGING. So much so that she became a consultant just a few months later. Kelli knew she had to share this knowledge with as many families as possible.
    So what does she do? Kelli creates personalized sleep plans using a gentle method, to teach your child independent sleeping skills to help him/her fall asleep independently and sleep through the night. You will be there every step of the way to provide comfort as your child learns this new skill.
    Sleep is a necessity, not a luxury. Just because you had a child, doesn't mean you don't deserve sleep.
    Kelli offers free 15-minute assessment calls where she will go over your current sleep situation, discuss sleep goals, and review packages.
