About
Hi, I'm Kate Burns, Certified Pediatric Sleep Coach and RN, BSN!
But most importantly, I’m a mom.
I’ve been there—long nights, short naps, early mornings, and the deep hope that rest will finally come.
I founded Rooted in Rest because I know firsthand how exhausting and overwhelming those early months and years can be. I’ve lived through the long nights and second-guessed myself a hundred times. But I’ve also seen how transformative it can be—for both parent and child—when sleep finally starts to fall into place.
With a background in nursing and a passion for nurturing families, I’m here to offer gentle, effective sleep support that honors both your child’s needs and your instincts as a parent. I believe every baby is unique, and so is every parent.
Whether you're dealing with frequent night wakings, short naps, or bedtime battles, I’ll come alongside you with a plan that’s grounded in evidence, compassion, and flexibility. You and your baby deserve more peace, more rest, and more confidence in your days and nights. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
Let’s bring rest back to your home—together.
