Supporting Stellar Sleep: Evidence-Based Sleep Education for Family-Centered Professionals
Integrate evidence-based sleep guidance into your existing practice—no certification required.
Sleep challenges derail progress. You know it. Families know it.
Sleep shows up in nearly every case—affecting feeding, regulation, development, and family wellbeing. Parents ask you about it constantly.
But most providers never receive formal training on how to address pediatric sleep beyond generic "sleep hygiene" advice that doesn't work for real families.
You don't need to become a sleep coach to help families sleep better.
Supporting Stellar Sleep is a 6-week professional development program that gives you practical, evidence-based frameworks you can use immediately in your existing practice.
Whether you're an OT, SLP, PT, doula, nurse, educator, or other family-centered professional—this training equips you to confidently guide families through sleep challenges while staying within your scope of practice.
Here's what Supporting Stellar Sleep will do for your practice:
For Your Clients:
Better sleep means better regulation, focus, and progress across all developmental domains
Families save time and money by getting evidence-based guidance directly from you—no need to search for (or afford) expensive sleep coaches
Improved outcomes in feeding, motor skills, learning, and behavior when sleep barriers are addressed
Parents feel supported by a trusted provider who understands their whole situation
For You:
Feel confident when sleep questions come up—no more hesitation or second-guessing
Improve client outcomes across every domain of your work
Provide high-quality, personalized sleep guidance that actually works for real families
Stay within your scope with clear, ethical frameworks designed for providers
Save session time by addressing sleep efficiently instead of letting it derail progress
Stand out professionally with confidence and skills in an area most providers avoid
Possible CEU credits available (inquire about your specific profession)
The default recommendations—"sleep hygiene" and "cry it out"—aren't enough. Supporting Stellar Sleep gives you everything you need to provide effective, evidence-based, gentle sleep solutions to the families you serve.

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."
— Gemma Stern, PhD, Child Psychologist
"As an early childhood educator for 10+ years, I thought I knew it all as a new parent. But I soon learned I knew nothing about sleep. The conflicting information out there is maddening.
Then I found Little Dipper and it changed our lives forever.
Liz's flexible approach and evidence-based guidance were exactly what I needed. I became so passionate about sleep that I joined her training program to deepen my knowledge and better support the families I work with. If you want practical, compassionate sleep education you can actually use in your practice, this is it."
— Nidia Salazar, Early Childhood Educator

Meet your lead 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 elementary 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 free and 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 (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.
I currently live in Chapel Hill, NC, with my two kiddos who sleep well now but definitely didn’t come by it naturally. My family also includes a kitty named Hazelnut, whose meowing only wakes us up on occasion.
Thanks for listening, ya’ll. If you’re a sleep enthusiast too, I’m sure we’ll cross paths.
