This Sleep Q & A will give you the opportunity to ask a sleep expert your sleep questions! We are excited to have Joanie Olin of Pediatric Sleep Strategies host this guest workshop.  Her passion is to help people learn about how to be the best parents they can be on all fronts – not just in terms of sleep. It takes communication, understanding and trust to design (and carry out!) a sleep plan that works.  Joanie is thrilled to witness the newly-gained confidence that parents acquire as they see they start to significantly improve their sleep situation. The bonus is that once parents start sleeping better themselves, they can truly enjoy their children even more.

Joanie has a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Simmons College and a certification in Child Sleep through the Family Sleep Institute. She also completed a comprehensive 140-hour training and worked as a Pediatric Sleep Consultant for a parenting resource company. Prior to focusing on sleep, she worked as a psychotherapist counseling children and families, and as a community educator/consultant for parenting support organizations in the Boston Metrowest area.
