Helping Families Bring Back Bedtime

Jolan Holmes

Jolan Holmes, B.A., E.C.E, R.C.C. and Certified Sleep Consultant lives in Anmore, BC with her husband and two beautiful boys. She has over 20 years experience supporting families and children with developmental, behavioural and mental health needs, as well as working specifically with little ones with sensory processing challenges and Autism. This work has provided her with immense experience in child development, family systems and developing healthy family routines. One of the common themes she noticed when supporting families in their home, was the importance of a healthy sleep routine and ensuring the family was well rested.

After completing her Masters in Clinical counselling and becoming a Registered Clinical Counsellor through the BCACC, Jolan felt that she could add on to this support by being able to provide families with tailored sleep plans and solutions that can help them to become educated sleep experts themselves and recognize the importance of sleep for their family. She knew how critical sleep was to ensure a healthy body and brain, especially when supporting little ones and families with developmental, behavioural and mental health struggles. Jolan was certified as a Sleep Consultant through the Family Sleep Institute and trained as a Good Night Sleep Educator. Becoming a sleep consultant combined her passion of working with families and littles ones with her love of sharing the importance of sleep.

When not helping families sleep better, Jolan spends time with her family exploring all the beautiful parks and beaches in BC. She is an avid reader, has a passion for music and loves travelling.

Our family got a full nights’ sleep by the 2nd night ! We were co-sleeping with our son, using a soother, waking up 4-5 times a night to nurse, and his cries would wake up our daughter in the other room. We are all still in disbelief at how it all came together so quickly. It was a wonderful experience working with Jolan. From the first phone call and for the duration of our plan Jolan non-judgemental, patient, responsive and knowledgeable. My family and I are so grateful for your help ! Thank you

If it weren’t for Jolan, I would not be functioning anymore! My baby was still waking every hour wanting to nurse at 8m. I haven’t slept more than 2 hours since the day she was born. Jolan helped me to navigate her schedule and made suggestions on how to implement more structure and routine. She literally held my hand through it all and I am so thankful I had her help! My baby is finally sleeping through the night now and we are both much happier! Thank you Jolan!!!!

With the assistance of Jolan, we were waking up every 2 hours at night without any solid routine. After 3 night of sleep training out baby was sleeping through the night and having two full naps! What I thought was impossible, was very much possible and happened so quickly. I learned so much about my babies sleep including her non verbal cues of when she was ready for sleep! Our baby craved all this sleep, and we all feel human again! Thank you

Jolan is absolutely amazing! We are so grateful for her help in getting our son to sleep through the night and lengthen his naps right from day 1 of sleep training. My son would rely on us holding him until he fell asleep and would wake after 30 minutes-2 hours throughout the night. She was always there to help and responded so quickly to any of our questions (and I had a lot of questions)! She was always there to reassure us and create a plan that worked best for our family and what we were comfortable with. I highly recommend Jolan for any sleep help. Thank you Jolan!

Sleep training is hard! We would never have done it on our own. We feel so fortunate to have had Jolan to walk us through it. She was there every step of the way and helped us create a plan that worked for us as a family. Our twin boys were 23 weeks old (16 weeks corrected, born prematurely) when we started with Jolan. They are now both sleeping through the night and taking regular, long naps. It's been such a game-changer for our family to have some routine! It's also been so helpful for us as parents as we feel we know the boys better and can read and respond to their cues.
