Meet The Sleep Fairy, Carrie
My name is Carrie McCoy and I am a Certified Sleep Consultant through the Center for Pediatric Sleep Management. I’m also the founder of The Sleep Surprise, LLC.
I am married, have 3 children and live in Yakima, WA, in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. For the past 18 years I have worked as a part-time Dental Hygienist for a family practice that focuses on building strong relationships with patients. In my spare time I enjoy working out, running, watching my children participate in school sports and traveling.
I was fortunate enough to have figured out the magic of sleep training when my children were babies. I did this by reading all the recommended books and successfully implemented healthy sleep habits. Friends have always marveled at what wonderfully independent solid-sleepers I have. I’m frequently asked what to do and what not to do from friends who are dealing with their own sleep struggles (mom and baby!). As a sleep expert, I take pride in mentoring those in need because I appreciate and value the benefits of structure and routine that come from starting good habits at a young age.
I’m passionate about sharing my expertise in sleep training with families who need more sleep. I’m confident that I can help YOU!
