Hi, I'm Ann!

I love helping families achieve better rest through personalized sleep Plans that actually work — without any guilt, shame or one-size-fits-all advice.

Hi, I’m Ann — a registered nurse, mom, and pediatric sleep consultant behind Harvesting Dreams Sleep Consulting. 🌙

My passion for pediatric sleep became personal when I became a mom myself. I quickly learned how much sleep can impact an entire family — and how overwhelming it can feel when you’re exhausted, searching for answers, and trying to figure out what your child needs.

That experience sparked something in me. I wanted to understand the why behind infant and child sleep, not only for my own family, but so I could help other parents feel less overwhelmed and more confident in theirs.

As a nurse, I’ve always loved caring for and supporting others. Sleep consulting allows me to bring that same compassion, education, and problem-solving into a space that has become incredibly meaningful to me. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to sleep, and I’ll never hand you a generic plan and send you on your way. Your child, your family, and your goals are unique — your sleep plan should be, too.

your go-to guide for rested Children and empowered parents

My goal isn’t simply to help your child sleep better. It’s to help you understand their sleep, feel confident responding when things change, and create healthy, sustainable habits that work for your family.

Because better sleep can mean so much more than a longer stretch at night. It can mean more patience. More energy. More time with your partner. More room to actually enjoy this season of parenthood.
And sometimes, it means drinking your coffee while it’s still hot. 😉

I’d be honored to walk alongside your family and help you find the rest you’ve been dreaming of.

Here’s to restful nights and brighter days.

My Training & Philosophy

I believe that sleep is essential to a happy and healthy home — not just for your child but for the whole family. I help families transform their lives by building routines that are rooted in connection and personalized sleep plans! I firmly believe in small, sacred moments like bedtime snuggles, a quiet cup of coffee, and waking up knowing you're rested to enjoy your day, not just survive it. My passion is to help families feel rested, happy, and fulfilled by to taking away any of the guesswork, guilt, and overwhelm out of sleep training.

I became a certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant because I personally know the struggle of rocking a baby to sleep at 2am, wondering what you're doing wrong and trying to have Chat GPT give you the answers. I found myself Googling solutions with tears in my eyes in the middle of the night, trying every hack I could find and just hoping for rest that never came. These struggles led me to learn how impactful the support of others could be, and, now, it's my joy and privilege to offer that same guidance, confidence, and support to other families in the same boat.

My "Why"

Rested nights and confident parenting ahead, without the burnout.

When I'm not

ANALYZING SLEEP

…I am probably working my full time job as a nurse, reheating my coffee (again), or chasing my toddler! I am a big fan of cozy evenings, sitting out and watching the sunset, reading thriller novels, toddler giggles, and watching reality TV! I am a BIG fan of Survivor and Big Brother!

I live in Elburn, Illinois with my husband, daughter, Catahoula/daschound mix named Sadie, and our two orange tabby cats, Willy and Nelson!

Outside of offering sleep support, you’ll usually find me working, reading, planning our next family vacation, organizing our snack drawer, or relaxing on the couch, reminding myself that it's OK to take a break!
