    Christine Lawler is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, mom of four and lover of sleep! She founded the sleep consulting company, The Peaceful Sleeper, for two main reasons: she recognized how critically important sleep is in all aspects of life, and she believes that many mothers are under-informed or feel unnecessary guilt when it comes to sleep training and sleep coaching their baby. She's been practicing therapy for 10 years now and has realized that sleep issues are a common thread among all of her clients. She quickly gained additional training in advanced sleep medicine and learned that many of the mental health challenges mothers (and children) face today stem from inadequate sleep.Chrissy's ultimate goal is to help mothers reclaim the magic of motherhood by getting babies and their moms the sleep that they need. You can follow her on Instagram for helpful sleep and parenting tips @the.peaceful.sleeper (https://www.instagram.com/the.peaceful.sleeper/) and find her book, video courses, troubleshooting guides, and so much more at her website https://thepeacefulsleeper.com/
