Description

(January 2026) 

Bedtime can be one of the hardest parts of the day for children who have experienced trauma, and for the caregivers who love them. In this workshop, Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant and foster/adoptive parent Allison Ezell will share insights from her family’s journey through foster care and adoption and offer practical, trauma-informed strategies to help kids feel truly safe at bedtime. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of what’s behind bedtime battles, along with tools to create more peace, connection, and rest for everyone in your home.

Allison Ezell, M. Ed. is a wife and mom of four through birth, foster care, adoption, and international adoption. After spending over a decade in the classroom as an educator and trying to navigate her adopted son’s sleep struggles without the guidance she needed, she decided to take a leap and get certified as a Pediatric Sleep Consultant and Foster/Adoption Sleep Consultant in 2021. Since then, she has brought better sleep to thousands of families through her trauma-informed digital resources, 1 to 1 consultations, and speaking opportunities.
