✨ Meet Erin: Your Guide to Sleep, Connection & Calm
Erin Metheny is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), certified pediatric sleep consultant, and GooD INSIDE parent coach trained by Dr. Becky Kennedy. As the founder of The Well Rested, she supports families in transforming sleep struggles and behavior challenges into routines built on connection, confidence, and independence.
A mom herself, Erin intimately understands the toll of sleep deprivation—having navigated postpartum depression tied to sleeplessness—and she’s devoted her career to helping families become well rested, emotionally healthier, and more joyful as a result.

🗣️ What Well Rested Families Share (PLACEHOLDER FOR PARENT TESTIMONIALS)
“Erin’s help was an absolute game changer for our family! She listened carefully to his history and came back with an incredibly thorough sleep plan, offering several options depending on our comfort with crying… Our son went from being incredibly needy for naps and overnight sleep to being able to put himself down and self‑soothe.”
