Jen Varela
Bio:Since 2010, Certified Gentle Sleep Coach® Jen Varela, co-author of “Loved to Sleep” and founder of pediatric sleep consulting service Sugar Night Night, has helped more than 4,500+ families nationwide and in other countries get the sleep they’ve been deprived of and desperately needed. She provides parents with solutions that bring hope and strategies that work with each child’s temperament in the sleeping location that the parents prefer, from bed-sharing, room-sharing with the baby on a separate sleep surface, or the child being in their bedroom. Jen uses nurturing strategies that trade tears for time — parents invest time to reduce the amount of crying from their child and improve sleep. As a survivor of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) herself, Jen has a deep understanding of how to support parents with PMADs in her sleep coaching practice. Jen served as the Founding California Chapter Liaison for Postpartum Support International (PSI-CA) and she is a Past President of the Postpartum Health Alliance Board of Directors. She is a member of the International Association of Child Sleep Consultants and a Certified Gentle Sleep Coach® trained by Kim West, The Sleep Lady®; she also trained with the Infant Mental Health Community Training Program–Hospital for Sick Kids. Jen is a mother of two and holds a bachelor’s degree in Human Services with an emphasis in Counseling from California State University, Fullerton.
