"I took this course with Cortney to learn a little bit more about sleep for the infants we work with. I was hoping to get two or three little bits of information that would be helpful. I was pleasantly surprised to learn so much more. Understanding the biological component of sleep helps me in my day-to-day life as a Postpartum Doula. The knowledge that Cortney carries and shares with those of us that are lucky enough to get some of her time or take this training, is so valuable. As a Postpartum Doula and a Newborn Care Specialist Agency Owner, this course has improved my business base. We are able to help families look at baby and child sleep from a more holistic angle. This is the class to take if you are looking to work in this field!"

"As a Newborn Care Specialist who exclusively works with newborns and infants, I found the Sleepwonders Integrative Sleep Program very helpful in understanding the science behind sleep and how it mentally, physically and emotionally affects our lifestyle. The training is immersed in evidence-based research, Cortney's own experiences in working with newborns as well as information on how to prepare the newborn for optimal health. Cortney is extremely educated on all things newborns and infants and it's apparent in her teaching methods and trainings. Whether you are a parent or caregiver of young children, this program will answer all of your questions regarding the science of sleep. I look forward to enrolling in additional offerings from Sleepwonders."

"Sleepwonders "The First 14 Weeks" is such an excellent course. Cortney has researched endless amounts of data to make this course is top-notch and up-to-date with the most current information. I really love that Cortney includes biologically and anthropologically-based information to help professionals understand how this ties in with responsive care. Cortney covers various topics, including nutrition, sleep, and overall well-being. It is an absolute delight to learn with Cortney. She has a gentle and humorous approach that draws the learner in. As a seasoned NCS, Cortney has the knowledge and field experience to offer great examples to her students. The NCS industry sure is lucky to have Cortney as a mentor, instructor, and guide. I highly recommend this course for novice and veteran NCSs alike! Learning never ends in our career and learning from the best makes us better."

"I took the Sleepwonders Pro course expecting to learn the basics of infant sleep and maybe get some good tips for supporting my clients as an NCS. I couldn't believe how jam-packed full of information this course is! There's so much science - I felt like I was back in college. One of the things I hadn't learned before taking Sleepwonders, is the connection between sleep and so many other systems in the body. This was a key thing for me. Cortney's system of using the foundations to support healthy sleep has become an important part of my practice and how I work with families now. I highly recommend this course for anyone who works with babies and families!"

"The First 14 Weeks is an excellent course for anyone who works with newborns and infants. It highlights the natural development of newborns and provides key information that builds a well-rounded foundation of knowledge, not just about normal newborn/infant sleep, but other factors such as brain development, gut health, and nutrition. The course also includes valuable tips and tricks for supporting families. Cortney's teaching style is straightfoward and conversational. The presentations are never robotic or overly scripted, and she doesn't just read slides that have been overfilled with text. Her content is engaging and scientific without being jargon-heavy. The module length is perfectly suited to take breaks in between as needed. I consider this course to be an excellent introduction to holistic newborn care and highly recommend it to new and veteran caregivers alike!"
