Dana Obleman has been working with children and parents since her student days at King's University, where she completed a B.A. in Psychology (1998), where she concentrated her research on the areas of infant development and family dynamics.
She launched her successful private practice in 2003, and since then has helped thousands of parents solve their children's sleep problems. Dana's approach focusses on helping parents identify their children's "sleep signals" and establishing routines and schedules based on those signals.
Dana offers individal consultations with parents (in person or via telephone), group seminars, and is the creator of "The Sleep Sense Program", a best-selling "do-it-yourself" guide for tired parents.

Dana has made numerous television appearances, has been featured in national and local newspapers, spoken at multiple parenting trade shows and baby conventions, and co-hosted a popular parenting radio program. She was also recently invited to present a lecture on solving infant and toddler sleep problems to a convention of family doctors at one of the country's largest medical schools.
In addition to her degree in Psychology, Dana also holds a degree in Elementary Education from King's University (1999), and is a professional member of the National Sleep Foundation. She currently lives on the West Coast with her husband and three young children.

My mom is jealous she did not have this book for us when we were babies! I have told ALL of my mommy friends about your wonderful book and how it gave us our lives back. My husband and I have so much time for each other now in the evenings and not worried about waking him up. Once he is sleeping, he rarely wakes up to noises. I even hosted 8 friends last week while he was sleeping. I thought the noise would wake him but not a peep!
I can't express enough gratitude for you writing this book, you have sincerely changed our lives! Thank you so much!
