What Could Your Sleep Consulting Business Actually Look Like?
Everyone's life looks different. Here are three realistic ways our grads structure their businesses, depending on the season they’re in.
Perfect if you’re a stay-at-home mom or still in a corporate role and want a flexible side income without burning out.
Approx. $3,000 - $4,000/month
while still working your full-time corporate job or being a SAHM, home for school pickup, bedtime, and the moments that matter.
- 2 sleep consulting clients at ~$400–$500 per package
- 3–4 hours a week on client calls + plan creation
- 1–2 hours a week on marketing (posting, answering DMs, networking)
These examples are for illustration only and based on typical package rates and structures in this industry. Your results will vary depending on your offers, pricing, effort, and many other factors.
A typical week might look like:
- Step-by-step launch plan so you can start taking your first paying clients without guessing
- Done-for-you sleep intake, contract and other biz templates so you’re not building everything from scratch
- Simple marketing system you can run in 1–2 hours a week
How we help you get here inside the Certification + Accelerator:
Perfect if you’re ready for sleep consulting to be your main gig, or you want a clear path out of your current job without jumping off a cliff overnight.
Approx. $5,000–$7,000/month
while still having plenty of flexibility for appointments, school events, and actual rest.
- 3–4 clients per week (around 12–16 per month) at ~$450–$500 per package
- 10–12 hours a week on client calls, follow-up, and plan tweaks
- 5–8 hours a week on marketing, consults, and simple systems to keep things running
This is the “I’m taking this seriously” season – your sleep consulting income is a big part of the household budget, but you’re still not chained to a 40+ hour workweek.
These examples are for illustration only and based on typical package rates and structures in this industry. Your results will vary depending on your offers, pricing, effort, and many other factors.
A typical week might look like:
- Client workflow + systems so you can handle more clients without dropping balls

- Business coaching support to refine your offers and pricing as demand grows
How we help you get here inside the Certification + Accelerator:
This is for the mom who wants a full-time, multi-stream sleep consulting business – not just a job replacement, but a brand.

- Additional revenue from courses, digital products, or a small team of associate consultants
- 15–20 hours a week on client delivery + leading your team
- 10–15 hours a week on marketing, content, partnerships, and CEO tasks

Approx. $8,000-
$10,000+/month
These examples are for illustration only and based on typical package rates and structures in this industry. Your results will vary depending on your offers, pricing, effort, and many other factors.

Common Questions, Answered:
I have a question...
Pediatric Sleep Consultants earn anywhere from $60-$150/hour and can easily make between $30,000-$150,000+ per year. How much you earn depends on how much work you put in and how many clients you take on. If you're starting your own practice, you'll have the freedom to set your own pricing and hours.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO EARN AS A SLEEP CONSULTANT?
You get access to our program, all future updates, 3x monthly Q&A calls, community and continuing education for 12 months. As soon as you enroll, you'll get access to log in and start learning, and to join our community! As your business evolves, your support does too — with ongoing updates and the option to stay in the community after your first year for a low monthly fee.
HOW LONG DO I GET ACCESS?
You can start working with paying clients as soon as you are certified.
Once you've graduated, the growth of your business is up to you. Our realistic goal is for students to earn back their full investment within 90 days of launching. We've had many graduates earn back their full tuition in under 1 month and others in 4-6 months after launching. If they did it, so can you!
HOW QUICKLY ARE GRADS PAYING THEMSELVES BACK?
The program includes 26 total lecture hours, plus hands-on practicum work with volunteer families. Plan for focused, intentional time each week for learning, implementation, and calls. The program is self-paced with 12 months of access so you can move steadily without burning out. Most students complete the program in approx. 90 days while dedicating 4-5 hours per week.
HOW LONG WILL THE PROGRAM TAKE?
To protect the quality of mentorship and plan reviews, we accept a limited number of new students each month.
1. Submit your application
Tell us about your goals and why this work matters to you.
2. Application review
We review for fit—so you’re set up to succeed (not just “accepted and left alone”).
3. Acceptance + next steps
You’ll receive your enrollment link + onboarding checklist.
4. Choose your payment option
Pay in full, payment plan, or financing (Affirm/Klarna/Afterpay where available).
