Are You Ready to Sleep Again? Take the First Step With Me By “Saying Yes to The Rest”!

Hi, I am so glad you are here! My name is Missy Morrison Charko, and I am a Certified Pediatric  Sleep Sense™ Consultant and Founder of Say Yes to the Rest Pediatric Sleep Consulting.

My journey in child sleep started much like most of you, struggling and exhausted with a nine-month-old baby girl who would only sleep ON ME!

Or so I thought! You see, as a first-time Mom, I had no idea what a Sleep Consultant was. I had read books and googled everything about baby sleep, only to find myself overwhelmed and not sure where to turn. 

A friend suggested a Sleep Consultant, and while I was hesitant, I took a leap of faith. My husband and I never looked back. Our daughter went from being a terrible sleeper to an amazing one with the guidance of our Consultant.

I am now the proud Mom of two children who both sleep very well, and as a Stay-at-Home-Mom and Entrepreneur growing a business that could not be more important! 

Having structure and routine are so important to our children’s growth and development.  After I had my second child, I knew that Sleep Consulting was something I had to pursue! I wanted to help the other parents out there who are exhausted, frustrated and feeling helpless, get their rest back and help their children learn independent sleep!  

I am originally from the United States, with a B.F.A. from Syracuse University in New York.  I had a wonderful career as a dancer and singer and toured the United States and Canada in many shows over the years.  I still teach dance to young children when I am not teaching sleep!

I now reside in beautiful British Columbia, Canada with my family, and love that I get the opportunity to work with clients from all over the world, thanks to modern technology. I am a member of  International Association of Child Sleep Consultants (IACSC),  a contributing editor on child sleep for BC Parent Magazine, have been featured on Mom.comModern Mama’s Baby Guide, CBC Radio Vancouver, as well as numerous parenting and health/wellness podcasts.  I was a Guest Speaker The Baby Show: Vancouver in October 2023!

I have had comprehensive sleep training under the tutelage of Dana Obleman and the Sleep Sense™ Program, am a member of the International Association of Child Sleep Consultants, and continue to educate myself with the ongoing and always evolving scientific sleep research.  I believe that every family dynamic is different and deserves to be given a plan that will suit their individual and unique needs.

As the founder of Say Yes to The Rest Pediatric Sleep Consulting, I could not be more excited to go on this journey with you and help you get the REST you and your child so desperately need and deserve!

My promise to you is that I will support, guide, and mentor you on the path to getting your child sleeping better. I pride myself in being honest, compassionate and flexible, taking on only a few clients per month, so that I can give your family the attention you deserve. I will be with you every step of the way!

It’s sometimes difficult for parents to admit that they want to or need to sleep.  Often I have parents who  feel guilty for feeling that way. I’m here to tell you it’s OK!

It’s OK to ask for support and it’s OK to want to sleep! I truly believe that we are all better versions of ourselves after a good night’s rest, and that is the same for our children as well.

So, let’s get you and your family headed in the right direction with sleep. Explore my Private Sleep Coaching Packages and start by booking a Complimentary Child Sleep Evaluation Call with me today!
