Sleepy Heads Sleep Consulting

Sleepy Heads Sleep Consulting is led by Rachel Cain, who spent 11 years as a labor and delivery registered nurse before becoming a certified sleep consultant. That clinical background — watching thousands of newborns enter the world and supporting families through those critical first hours — gives her an intuitive understanding of infant physiology and parental anxiety that informs her consulting work.

Services Offered

• Baby and toddler sleep consulting — Using the Sleep Sense method
• Gentle approach — No harsh cry-it-out techniques
• Nursing-informed perspective — Clinical awareness of infant health and development
• Virtual and local options — Serving DFW and beyond

What Sets Her Apart

Eleven years in labor and delivery means Rachel has seen nearly every newborn scenario imaginable. She understands postpartum recovery, feeding challenges, and the emotional weight of early parenthood at a level that most non-clinical consultants cannot match. That empathy and medical awareness translate directly into more thoughtful, compassionate sleep plans.

Location

Based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, with virtual sessions available.
