We're helping Kentucky Sleep Better!
Lisa Branstetter is a certified Sleep Consultant through the Family Sleep Institute and a trained Good Night Sleep Site Educator. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Early Education from the University of Kentucky.
Lisa began her career as the Lead Teacher in the Child Development Center at Jefferson Community and Technical College Lab School in Louisville, KY. It was there that she discovered the passion of educating student teachers on the best practices of early childhood education. Lisa has trained thousands of childcare providers around the Greater Louisville Area on topics such as child development, behavior management, play based learning, and strengthening social and emotional skills. She has dedicated over 40 years to the education of young children, their families and their educators, and looks forward to continuing to help families all over Louisville, Kentucky and Southern Indiana in a new way.
To this day Lisa remembers the struggles that bedtime presented when her two girls were young. Her youngest daughter was impossible to get to sleep. Lisa spent hours upon hours rocking, walking, and nursing her baby to sleep only to have her wake up again as soon as she was laid in the crib. She found herself doing whatever it took to get her daughter to sleep and to keep her asleep for as long as possible, knowing all the while that this lack of sleep was affecting her daughter’s overall development and the family’s quality of life. Lisa reached out to her pediatrician and other resources to find answers to her family’s sleep issues only to become frustrated at the lack of information and support that was available at that time. Unfortunately, without the knowledge and guidance on how to help her daughter develop the skills that she needed to fall asleep and stay asleep on her own, the sleepless nights continued well into her childhood and adolescent years.
Lisa is now a proud Grandmother, and her daughter reached out to the Good Night Sleep Site team to help her with sleep. The results were life changing for the entire family. At 2 years old, this child loves to sleep!
As a Good Night Sleep Site Educator, Lisa wants to help other families avoid the struggles that she went through as a parent and guide them towards the gift of healthy sleep. Lisa looks forward to hosting sleep clinics in person in the near future throughout her local community of Crescent Hill, the entire Greater Louisville Area and Southern Indiana.
