Sleep Education, Training & Consulting for Professionals
Evidence-based sleep education for healthcare providers, doulas, therapists and family-centered professionals who need more than generic sleep hygiene advice.
Sleep challenges show up in nearly every case. Yet most healthcare providers never receive formal training on how to address them, other than the basics of sleep hygiene.
Families ask about sleep every day. You know it affects feeding, regulation, development, mental health, and overall family well-being.
But most sleep education available to providers stops at generic sleep hygiene—and that doesn't help when families are dealing with chronic night waking, neurodivergence, sensory differences, parental burnout, or complex systems at play.
Whether you want to integrate sleep education into your current practice, expand your professional skill set, or bring sleep programming to your organization, Little Dipper Sleep provides practical, evidence-based training you can use immediately

What Providers Are Saying:
“I loved learning from Liz and would highly recommend this training to anyone working with babies or children and their caregivers! As a child psychologist-in-training, I appreciated her focus on research and evidence-based techniques. I feel better able to help families navigate sleep challenges during early childhood. I will use the sleep education I learned to better serve my clients.”
Common Questions from Providers
Is this training within my scope of practice?
Yes! Track I is specifically designed to help you integrate sleep education into your current role without stepping outside your scope. We teach you how to address sleep as it impacts your existing work—whether that's feeding, regulation, motor development, or family wellness. Track II is for those who want to become sleep coaches and add sleep consulting services.
We also provide hourly consulting and flexible group trainings that we will tailor to your specific needs.
Do I need to become a sleep coach to take this training?
No! Many providers take Track I to enhance their current practice with no intention of becoming a sleep coach. If you later decide you want to add sleep coaching services, you can always enroll in Track II.
Will I receive continuing education credits (CEUs)?
We're actively pursuing CE accreditation for OT, SLP, PT, nursing, and other professions. Email us to inquire about your specific credential, and we'll notify you when accreditation is approved.
What's the time commitment for Supporting Stellar Sleep?
Track I is a 6-week program with weekly live sessions (or watch recordings on your schedule). Expect 2-3 hours per week including class time, self-study, and assignments. Track II requires an additional 50 hours of practicum work with clients over 3-6 months.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! Payment plans are available for Supporting Stellar Sleep at no additional cost. Email us to set up a plan that works for your budget.
Can you train my entire team or organization?
Absolutely! Our custom group trainings are perfect for organizations that want to upskill an entire team. We'll tailor the curriculum to your specific needs and can offer discounted group rates. Schedule a discovery call to discuss.

Every human deserves stellar sleep—including the families you serve.
Meet Your Teacher
Hi, I’m Liz, and I believe that every human deserves stellar sleep. I founded and lead Little Dipper Sleep — a sleep coaching and sleep education practice based in Chapel Hill, NC, serving clients worldwide. We provide flexible, inclusive, evidence-backed sleep coaching services, programs, and classes to parents of kiddos, from newborns through grade school and beyond. We’re known for our unique and effective programming which equips parents with what nearly all sleep programs miss: the mindset tools and scientific insight they need to thrive and confidently set the stage for peaceful nap times and bedtimes.
At Little Dipper, we’re also passionate about sharing accessible sleep education through community partnerships and non-profit organizations, with the vision of quality sleep becoming the norm for everyone—not just those who can afford a private Sleep Coach.
I shaped my approach to sleep coaching with my Masters in Public Health in Health Behavior and Health Education from UNC-Chapel Hill, years of sleep obsession and overly enthusiastic self-education, multiple certifications in yoga and mindfulness (including kids’ yoga), and years working with The Baby Sleep Site and Huckleberry, the AI sleep app. Today, as an advocate for all tired humans, I’m committed to helping all families discover the magic of stellar sleep regardless of income level or background.
Thanks for listening, ya’ll. If you’re a sleep enthusiast too, I’m sure we’ll cross paths.
