Amanda Maggio- daughter 3.5 years
Good to Grow has been the single best decision our family has ever made. When we met Jennifer, our daughters were 3.5 and 1 year old. For an entire year we suffered from chronic lack of sleep which was absolutely crippling. It affected EVERY aspect of our life. It negatively impacted our ability to self-care and stay healthy, Mom & Dad’s work performance, and our daughters behavior throughout the day. It’s delayed discussions about expanding our family because, LETS BE HONEST HERE, it made focusing on intimacy nearly impossible. The mere idea of having another baby with the level of sleep deprivation was too much. We struggled with our eldest repeatedly getting out of bed throughout the night EVERY NIGHT, full-blown tantrums at ungodly hours, and sleeping on our floor most nights. Before finding Jennifer, we could count on one hand how many times we had slept more than just a couple hours at a time in an entire year. We had exhausted every method of sleep training we could educate ourselves on, with no success. In less than a week, Jennifer had our daughter sleeping through the entire night and we’ve been singing her praises ever since. We no longer battle to get her down at night, nor during naps, or spend every hour returning her to bed. We don’t wake up to her sleeping on our floor, or trying to crawl into bed with us. Our nighttime routine is peaceful, enjoyable, and consistent. Her help has been truly invaluable. If you are a prospective client, I encourage you to make the investment in your family’s quality of life and accept the help. Commit to the process, without question, and the reward will follow!

Alex, Daughter Charlotte 3.5 yrs
Jen was the driving force that changed the sleep game in my home. My daughter hit some sort of separation anxiety at around 21 months.. and by 22 1/2 months I was in the regression deep, giving into what my daughter wanted, which was me on her floor! After extensive research on my own, googling article after article, I was still so confused on where to start! I was scared to do this on my own, especially knowing every baby reacts differently to sleep training programs. I knew I had come up with a plan, but I was quick to give in to what I thought was my forever long solution of waiting for her to fall asleep before I could leave the room. Not only was I on her floor for an hour more a night, she would wake up during the night crying for me, and starting the days way too early. Then I found Jen! She understood exactly what I was going through. Having her to guide me every step of the way was just what I needed to get Charlotte to fall asleep independently on her own. It took Charlotte just ONE night of learning and she was able to fall asleep independently every night since. Jen helped me tweak her wake windows and gave me additional tidbits to keep my daughter asleep until a reasonable start time to the morning. I can say this is truly Jen's passion! She is right in the thick of it with you, texting you every step of the way, and working out the bad sleep habits. Her main goal is to set you up for long-term success, and of course what to do for any future regressions. This was exactly what I needed because I would not take the plunge of sleep training on my own. I caved way too easily without the professional guidance Jen supported me with. We are have another baby on the way, due this September, and I'm already so relieved knowing that any sleep issues will be resolved with Jen!
Heather O'Donnell- son Noah 3yrs
Jenn changed our lives! My son who was a little over 2, decided to drop his naps and was taking almost 2 hrs every night to fall asleep, with multiple night wakings. I spent all day filled with anxiety about what bedtime would be like, laying on the floor with my hand through the crib rails, singing for 2hrs and crawling out on my knees in defeat. When we had our free consultation, I literally laughed at her when she said my son would nap again. Last laugh on me, by day 2 he was napping and going to sleep on his own by 7:30pm through the night till 6:30/7am. She has continued to give me support on off days or when traveling and truly has become a friend of our family. After sleep training we started working with her on behavioral therapy for my son as well. I can go on and on about how much we love her and what she has done for this single momma over here!

Amy, Mom of 2 Ages 2yrs and 4yrs
We acquired Jenn's services when we were having a hard time knowing how to handle our 2 and 4 year old's ever-growing personalities. She was amazing in showing us how to set rules around dinner time, playtime, showing us how to handle sharing at home and she also really helped us with our children's bedtime routines. We are a calmer house because of Jenn and we really appreciate all she has done for us and continues to do

Anna Marie McDougall - son 5 mos
Where do I begin???? My little one was going on 6 months & that was 6 months of not sleeping more than 3 hours. He didn’t nap in his crib ever, so that meant contact naps or driving in the car so he could fall asleep. I reached out to an old friend who mentioned they did sleep training. I asked who she used and that’s what led me to Jenn!!!!! Jenn was quick to respond, amazing communication about the whole process, and got me on the schedule quick! She was there every step of the way. The first day, my little one took a nap in the crib and I was shocked. Jenn even beat me to it sometimes when it came to texting “ like what’s next???”. The first night, texting me the whole time he was up, so I felt supported and comfortable with getting him back to sleep. By day two, naps were more consistent, and sleeping 11+ hours. Cannot even believe after 5 days, I had a sleeping little boy!!!! Even after our trial ended, Jenn would reach out to see how he did, answer ALL my questions, and is just all around so sweet! So glad I found her. Can’t recommend her enough, honestly!
Kaycie, Mom of Tyler 2 and Cameron 6 mos Repeat client!
Jenn is a life saver. This is the second time we've used her services, first about 2 years ago for my older son, and this time for my 6 month old. Words can't express how grateful we are for the knowledge and support she provided throughout the whole process. After six months of contact napping during the day, and 4-5 wake ups every night, he's napping indepedently in his crib and sleeping through the night! I finally feel like I have my life back! We can't recommend Good to Grow enough!

Jen+Mat, Son Grayson 3 years old
Good to Grow/Jenn was amazingly supporitve, kind, and reassuring throughout the whole process. I was feeling hopeless about my son's sleeping issues and never imagined that we'd be able to change it. Jenn personalized her approach to meet our needs and now our son is going to sleep more quickly and staying asleep most nights. She is very responsive and provides helpful guidance and support. She is not rigid in her approach and adjusted it based on what she observed the first night with us. It's made a tremendous difference in our quality of life to get more sleep and to have less stress at bedtime. I can't recommend her enough and feel so grateful for all that she has done for us

Liz DuCharme, Mom of 3.5 yr old
Highly recommend Jenn's services! Our 3.5 year old son was struggling with both bedtime and early morning wakings. Bedtime would routinely take one to two hours and waking up at 5am was the norm. Our son's OT recommended we reach out to Jenn to help us improve his sleep patterns and routines. We've attempted sleep training previously with other consultants and the service Jenn provides is unlike any other coach we've worked with. The live monitoring and texting were crucial as she was able to guide us real-time through any issues and adapt the plan on the spot according to our child's temperament. We now have a plan in place and feel confident around bedtime. Our son's routine takes 15 minutes, he happily walks himself to bed and he's getting more quality sleep than he ever has before. We cannot thank Jenn enough for her help

Jennifer P. , Mom of son Hertzel 10 mos
Jenn the best sleep coach! She is kind, thoughtful and just a wonderful person. We are so grateful to have had her expert guidance. My baby went from never taking naps during the day and waking every 2 hours at night to sleeping through the night and taking 2 naps daily. It's a miracel and we are all getting goooooood sleep, thank you!

CLIENT REVIEW
Beth- Cooper 11mos
Speaking from a mother that gave birth, and found out just 3 months later that she had cancer, let’s just say sleep training was not the top thing on our minds. We were in survival mode, just wanting my son to sleep. That meant we were doing everything that made it easier for us, and that consisted of co-sleeping, no routine, no schedule. My son was happy, but I felt guilty. He never slept in his crib or ever woke up earlier than 10am. My sons first birthday was approaching, so I knew it was time to bring order to his life and get him in that crib. I tried for a week and he refused to every lay down. He became “the standing sleeper”. Sleeping while standing up, leaning on his crib, 12 hours straight, for 5 days straight. My pediatrician was stumped, friends had never heard of this, it was baffling. I then came across Jennifer at Good To Grow, and to say this person was incredible is not even doing her justice. She held my hand virtually throughout the entire process, day in a night out. My son was sleeping, in his crib, laying down, for 11 hours on night one. After 5 days in, my son was on a great schedule, sleeping in his crib, for naps and bed time, every single night. I was convinced he would never do this, let alone ever within less than a week. Me and my family are beyond grateful to Jennifer. After speaking with many sleep trainers, I felt I connected with her from the second we spoke. She was honest, but sweet. She cares about what she does, and makes you feel so empowered that you will be able to do this. I will absolutely be using Jennifer again whenever we have a 2nd child, and we'll be recommending Jennifer to any friend or family member that has sleep issues with their child.

Jenn always made me feel comfortable and seen, each of my concerns were addressed with patience and understanding. Thank you for giving me the boost I needed to follow through with training and being consistent. Thank you for being on top of nap time and being SO responsive.

Stefanie- twins 22 mos
Best thing I could have done for my twins and for me. The process was easier than I thought it would be. Jenn was always there to answer questions and coach my through the rough spots. I only wish I would ha so fine it sooner. After a week my boys are sleeping through the night and taking a good nap and completely off their bottles. They are eating better and even speaking more. It’s great
Wish I would have done it sooner. Great coaching, easy to understand, comforting,

Perla Guerra- son 18 mos
Jenn was simply amazing to work with. The fact that she could do this virtually and walk us thru each step of the way is amazing. It was like she was here in person. Thankfully we didn’t have to bother her during the night but if we did she definitely would have deserved more money than what we paid. The pricing is perfect for a daytime schedule. But for what you do overnight you definitely need to bring up the price. My husband hates spending money and he even said you are worth every penny.

Jevon- Lucas 6mos
Hiring Good to Grow is by far the best choice I've made for my baby!! Jenn is so incredibly knowledgeable, she created a sleep/ eat/ play plan that fit our needs and encouraged healthy habits for my son as well! With her guidance and support, she gave me the confidence to help my son learn how to fall asleep independently and most importantly, put himself BACK to sleep! I am so thrilled with our experience and would recommend GTG to anyone and everyone!
Marcy Chapman- Mom of Cameron 16 mos
Using Good to Grow was an amazing decision for our son. Jenn helped us understand how our child's brain works and what we can do to support him as he learns a new skill - sleeping! She was available at any hour of the day/night and made us feel like family. At times, it felt like having a personal therapist because she helped us be patient and calm if/when our son got upset in his crib. I have already recommended her to a handful of friends because she made such a positive impact on us.
