During her career, Cortney has specialized in the care of preemies and multiples, as well as gentle sleep consulting, parent coaching, and educational services.
Sleepwonders debuted in 2017 with the Consultant Course, followed by the Pro Course in 2019, and The First 14 Weeks in 2022. Prior to the pandemic, Cortney presented Sleepwonders courses all over the US and even hosted one in Cancun, MX.
Cortney has spent over 90,000 hours nurturing babies and caring for young children, from coast to coast. She has also been featured on The Today Show, Fox News, and in many newspaper and magazine articles for her work with babies.
In 2020, Cortney gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Having Sawyer greatly changed her perspective on sleep coaching, which led to a bigger emphasis on responsive care in the course. When she’s not chasing after Sawyer, you’ll find Cortney working with new parents, teaching caregives about sleep, and advocating for high-nurture infant care.
Affordable, accessible, data-driven education.
Focusing on integrative and responsive care, Sleepwonders was created by Cortney Gibson to teach postpartum professionals why babies sleep the way they do, how to support their natural rhythms, and how to use the Sleepwonders Foundations to extend sleep for everyone safely and lovingly.
Sleepwonders is filled with science and evidence-based information, but also plenty of content derived from Cortney’s 25+ years of experience in the newborn care and sleep field, as well as her perspective as a mother.
Sleepwonders is committed to offering workshops and courses that are affordable and accessible. We also feel a strong responsibility to approach sleep from a holistic point of view, practice inclusivity, and respect the needs of both babies and parents.
Our goal is to give curious postpartum professionals balanced and beneficial information while inspiring them to continue learning and exploring.
