“Our baby was sleeping through the night in a couple nights and showed progress on her naps each day... Two months in, our daughter is still sleeping well and best of all is a happy, bright-eyed girl. I cannot recommend Kate enough. She is worth every penny and the extra sleep has been invaluable!”
Amanda, Mom to Wylie (3m) · Denver, CO
“It really does start with sleep... I felt like we had hit rock bottom with trying to help our 4 month old sleep each night. We found ourselves dreading nighttime as were up basically every hour at night... From my first conversation with Kate... I was so impressed by how she immediately made me feel reassured that we'd tackle this together... I trusted the process and can hardly believe how far my son has come in 2 weeks from waking every hour to sleeping through the night. Our family as a whole is happier and thriving and we couldn't have done it without Kate!”
Christina, Mom to Dean (4m) · Middletown, NJ
“Kate was an unbelievable help to us as new parents. She was the perfect match for someone (me) who was hesitant about sleep training and very nervous about excessive crying... She listened, asked thoughtful questions and was able to build us a custom sleep plan... We went from multiple wake ups overnight, to... zero wake ups smoothly over the course of 2 weeks. Our daughter also went from never napping in the crib during the day, to happily napping 3 times a day in the crib... Kate was an unbelievable partner and support system and I would hire again in a heartbeat.”
Audra, Mom to Poppy (5.5m) · Brooklyn, NY
“I cannot say how grateful I am for Kate and her support through this process. Our baby's sleep patterns were feeling inconsistent, overwhelming, and we were exhausted. With Kate's help, we are now thriving through the night and during daytime naps. She didn't just give us a plan - she gave us confidence and reassuring support every step of the way. We are forever grateful!”
Abbie, Mom to Caden (6m) · Bridgewater, NJ
“Kate's services were life changing. Her patience & encouragement gave us the strength to implement her recommendations. Our 8 month old was waking up every two hours... Now, thanks to Kate, our baby sleeps in her own crib & learned how to put herself back to sleep. She even sleeps through the night and is also on a regular napping schedule.”
Aleksandra, Mom to Denali (8m) · Boonton, NJ
“We are truly so grateful for you and all of your help with Tyler! He is sleeping so beautifully now and we are feeling so much better physically and mentally. Your patience, communication and your clear instructions were so, so helpful. We will absolutely be recommending you to anyone looking for a sleep consultant!”
Julie & Jason, parents to Tyler (9m) · Jersey City, NJ
“I truly cannot recommend Kate and her It Starts with Sleep program enough... We first connected with Kate when my son was five months old. He had been waking multiple times a night since birth... The plan she created for our son was incredibly detailed, thoughtful and tailored just for him... Watching him figure it out - and so quickly - was honestly amazing. We reached out to Kate a second time after a trip to Japan, when our son's schedule was completely thrown off from jet lag. And just like the first time, she helped us get him back into a routine where he was going down easily and sleeping through the night. We're so, so grateful for her.”
Emili, Mom to Julian (5m, then 12m) · Brooklyn, NY
“I can't recommend Kate and her sleep training method enough! She helped my family when my little one was 15 months old and still waking up twice a night. Within a few days of Kate's help, he has been sleeping through the night ever since! ...Thank you Kate!!”
“Our family was definitely hesitant when we started with Kate to sleep train our 18 month old daughter... All I can say is Kate took the time to learn about our family and the dynamic and managed our expectations. With her help our baby girl is putting herself to sleep and staying asleep!... I used to have such anxiety when it came to bedtime... Now, I know that my daughter can do this, and Kate gave us the tools to do it too. Bedtime has become a pleasant time of the day because of the work we did with Kate. Now, it's time to sleep train my oldest!!”
Killian, Mom to Maeve (18m) · Staten Island, NY
“I keep thinking back to where we were last year at this time... and wow. I am so thankful we found you!! I was an exhausted shell of myself with our 2 year old sleep regression. You got us out of a dark place and we have kept up the good habits all year... I really feel the whole process was the most rewarding experience I've had as a parent. It was the most work I've put into anything as a mom and also the most I've gotten out of anything as a mom.”
Elyse, Mom to Kate (2y) · Raleigh, NC
“I will sing your praises to anyone who will listen and shout your name from the rooftops every time I hear a parent mention sleep issues.”
CJ, Dad to Jack (2.5y) · Wayne, PA
“Kate's support and guidance was key to better sleep for our family. She helped us lower the stakes, reframe bedtime as a positive experience... We continue to use what we learned and have regained confidence in/around bedtime - it's become fun again for all of us. Kate's empathetic approach, accessibility and encouragement was a game changer for us. Thank you, Kate!”
Eric & Morgan, parents to Logan (2.5y) · Washington DC
“We were at our wits end with our 2yr old. She was always such a great sleeper and then she suddenly wasn't... Kate answered every single one of our questions and concerns every step along the way and she instilled so much confidence in us and our daughter... What started as so much sleep lost, has evolved into consistent rest for our household and daughter. Highly recommend 'It starts with sleep' if you're in any way struggling to get your kids to make it through the night. It's worth it.”
Dave & Kristin, parents to Giada (2.5y) · Hermitage, TN
“Kate is a miracle sleep-training genius sent from the heavens... When she hit two years old, Rey's sleep went down the drain... Rey would be up in the middle of the night for hours screaming and demanding everything under the sun. We were exhausted, frustrated, and at a complete loss for what to do!!... She was with myself and Brad every step of the way... giving moral support and encouraging me to stick with the plan. After two weeks, Rey was sleeping through the night like an angel from 8pm to 7am!!! ...We are forever grateful to Kate for changing our LIFE and giving us back our peace as a couple and as a family!!!”
Claire, Mom to Rey (2.5y) · Oakland, CA
“We cannot thank Kate and It Starts With Sleep enough for the incredible help she provided with our 3-year-old daughter's sleep. For over a year, we struggled with constant night wakings and extremely early mornings... Within just two weeks of working with Kate, our daughter was staying in bed all night long and consistently sleeping until 6:00am! ...We highly recommend It Starts With Sleep to any parent dealing with sleep struggles. It has truly been a game-changer for our family!”
Kyle & Kate, parents to Madelyn (3y) · Latham, NY
“Our son Lewis will be 4 years old this fall and we could count on two hands how many times he had slept through the night in his ENTIRE life... We have tried what felt like every tactic and product under the sun to get this child to sleep. We have bought devices, hired consultants, had surgeries (double tongue tie), TWO medical sleep studies, countless doctors including specialists in sleep, hematology, and digestion... Nothing seemed to work... Yes, my 35 pound child needed to sleep on me like an infant in order to sleep... We called Kate Faraci of 'It Starts with Sleep'... Within 10 days, Lewis was sleeping through the night and falling asleep on his own. In the middle of the night he would return to HIS ROOM... On our initial call with Kate, the first words out of her mouth were, 'this is a judgement free zone'... We can not put into words our gratitude for Kate. Our only regret was that we didn't do it sooner.”
Susie & Nick, parents to Lewis (3.5y) · Denver, CO
“My son had always been an incredible sleeper... Everything quickly turned upside down around 3.5 years old. His bedtime routine became difficult and long, with multiple trips into our bedroom during the night... Kate... helped craft a full step by step plan tailored to each specific issue. We diligently followed the plan and learned so many tips and phrases that helped us communicate effectively with our son which in turn empowered him! ...Within 2 weeks, our son was proudly sleeping in his bed through the night again and the bedtime routine shortened from an hour to 15 minutes. Not only did we get our sleep back, but our home once again became happy and harmonious!”
Heather, Mom to Gregory (3.5y) · Mendham, NJ
“Before we started working with Kate, bedtime in our house was an absolute nightmare. Our four-year-old daughter would resist sleep every night, leading to long, stressful battles. Even when she finally fell asleep, she would wake up in the middle of the night and end up in our bed... Then we found Kate, and everything changed... Now, thanks to Kate, our daughter happily goes to bed on her own every night at 8:15 PM—without a fight! Even more amazing, she stays in her bed all night. Our household has gone from chaos to calm, and we are all finally well-rested.”
Jess, Mom to Frankie (4.5y) · Morristown, NJ

“I cannot thank Kate enough for helping our entire family sleep!!! As a mom of three little ones (4, 3, and 1)... my then 7-month-old and 4-year-old were seriously struggling with naps, middle-of-the-night wakings, and 5AM wake-ups... Kate developed a customized plan with me that was not only thorough but actually attainable... within just a few weeks our kids were sleeping better and so were we! Kate is absolutely the best and I cannot recommend working with her more!!!”
Alex, Mom to Luke (4y) & Jack (7m) · Manhasset, NY
“When we moved 10 months ago into a house undergoing major renovations... we did not anticipate the effect it would have on our kids' sleep routine... Countless nights of mom and dad falling asleep in a child's bed, middle of the night wakings, all four of us waking up in one bed...etc. etc. There was no 'good' sleep happening for MONTHS... Re-sleep training a 6 and 3.5yr old was a feat we could not take on alone... we have not had a child sleep in our bed, a parent fall asleep in a kids bed and not one kid has spent the night in our bed since we started Kate's program (1 month ago!). LIFE CHANGING is an understatement. My 6 y/o's behavior and productivity at school improved tenfold... My biggest regret was putting it off for so long, if you are on the fence - just start now!”
Lindsay, Mom to Harry (6y) & Kennedy (3.5y) · Philadelphia, PA
“You were so helpful. June is sleeping through the night as is Elle. We got our life back! Thanks so much again.”
