I see you, I know the sleepless nights—let’s navigate the path to restful sleep, together.

ABOUT METASLEEP

ABOUT ALANA

Hi, I’m Alana Metallo, founder of MetaSleep Consulting, based in Toronto, Ontario. My passion for sleep began after my first daughter was born, when exhaustion left me overwhelmed. Reaching out to a sleep consultant changed everything for my family—and inspired me to help others do the same.

As an elementary school teacher and early childhood educator with over 20 years of experience, I’ve worked with children from infancy through the teen years. Now, as a mom of three girls, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to the families I support.

I know sleep training can feel overwhelming, but with my supportive, encouraging approach, I’ll guide you step by step toward a calmer, well-rested home.

When I’m not helping families, I love traveling to sunny spots like Hawaii, Aruba, and Mexico—or anywhere with beautiful beaches and stunning sunsets. I can’t wait to visit Italy next summer with my family! I also enjoy Netflix, from murder mysteries to comedies, dramas, and reality shows.

SLEEP PROGRAMS

How My Process Works:

  • Step 1: Assessment and Diagnosis

    By understanding your child’s unique sleep patterns and needs, I tailor a sleep plan that works for your family. Using sleep data collection, I uncover what’s really happening with their sleep and choose the most effective, supportive coaching methods—because every child is different, and so is their path to better rest.

  • Step 2: One-on-One Consultation

    Through our consultation, I’ll be your guide, cheerleader, and support system on your journey to better sleep. Together, we’ll create a plan that empowers you with the knowledge and confidence to handle bedtime routines, sleep challenges, and everything in between—so your whole family can rest easier.

  • Step 3: Personalized Sleep Plan

    You’ll receive a personalized sleep plan tailored to your child’s unique needs, making healthy sleep habits simple and achievable. With clear, step-by-step guidance, you’ll feel confident in creating a restful, sustainable routine for your family.

  • Step 4: Build Confidence

    Together, we’ll nurture your child’s ability to self-soothe and sleep independently, creating a sense of security and confidence at bedtime. They’ll learn that sleep is safe and comforting, while you gain peace of mind knowing they’re resting well.

  • Step 5: Predictability and Consistency

    We’ll build simple, consistent routines that help your child thrive—day and night. It’s about progress, not perfection.
