Get to Know Me
Hi, I’m Leslie Gupta! I'm a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant with over 250 hours of expert taught, scientific, evidence-based coursework and client hours. I'm also a wife and mama to three fun, energetic girls!
I’m so glad you’re here and have taken the first step toward better sleep!
Maybe you’re expecting your first child, struggling to get your baby to sleep through the night or your first grader is suddenly waking at midnight. Whatever your issues may be, it’s exhausting and I completely understand how you are feeling! Through my 11 years of motherhood, I've been there!
Through it all, I have done my research and studied up on the best advice and solutions that worked for my child and our family as a whole.
There is no one size fits all to raising children!
Sleepless Nights...Breastfeeding Issues
Postpartum Anxiety...Bottle Refusal
Picky Eating...Toddler Tonsil Removal
Nap Battles...Juggling Work & Family
I Love Sleep...
I love being a mom, but I also LOVE sleep…I love crawling into my bed and hate getting out of it in the morning. I’ve been passionate about my own children getting enough sleep and being on a solid routine since the day they were born. Yes, this meant at times I was nap trapped or saying no to things that were past our bedtimes, but SLEEP IS THE KEY to my happy, healthy kids.
My 3rd child had eating and sleeping issues due to enlarged adenoids and tonsils. Her sleep, behavior, and overall health improved after having them removed and this is when it truly clicked with me how crucial sleep is for everyone.
Your family deserves to feel well rested too and I'm here to help you.
Little Bit About My Background
Little bit about my background...I live in Richmond VA and grew up here! I’m incredibly lucky to be raising my family in such a friendly, easy going city. I attended Virginia Tech and got my bachelors of science in Psychology. After moving to the Washington D.C. area, I started a career in sales which took me to New York City, New Jersey, and then back down to Virginia. My marketing, sales, and business management experience taught me endless skills working with people, but I have always wanted to help people too! In addition to that, working with kids has always been part of my life by babysitting, teaching swim lessons, being a summer camp counselor, a nanny, Girl Scout troop leader, and a volunteer at school.
Here at Bedtime Blueprints, I’m combining my passion for sleep, parenting skills, business savvy, and natural ability to serve others. Whether you are local or long distance, together we will end your exhaustion with a plan that actually works for better sleep. Please book a free call, I would truly love to help you!
- Sydney, daughter 3 months old
I had a wonderful experience working with Leslie. She developed a realistic plan for our baby that took into account our busy schedule with two older kids and was also respectful of my wish to avoid cry it out methods. Her suggested techniques were gentle, responsive, and breastfeeding friendly. Leslie checked in frequently to answer questions and offer support. With her help, we were able to get my daughter onto a more predictable daily routine, reduce middle of the night wake ups, and transition out of her swaddle. Thank you, Leslie!!
- Sarah, son 20 months old
We found Leslie after struggling with our son’s sleep for over a year and a half. She compassionately worked to understand our specific concerns, put together a plan, and modified the plan throughout the course of the two week support. After months of googling “why is my child awake” at 3 am, it was so nice to have a simple, effective strategy for middle of the night wakings. I don't want to jinx it, but we've now had many nights in a row of 11-12 hours of sleep, something I never dreamed was possible. We would 100% use Leslie again if we hit another major regression.
- Jill, daughter 5 years old
We were a little skeptical when we began working with Bedtime Blueprints only because we thought we’d already tried everything and had accepted that our daughter couldn’t change her sleep habit of waking up every night. We had failed at our own sleep interventions for over three years and had given up hope for change. Leslie’s interventions worked on DAY ONE and our daughter has been sleeping through the night, every night, ever since! Leslie’s personal interactions with our daughter combined with the “science of sleep” education she provided us proved to be the critical difference from anything else we’d tried on our own. We had nothing to lose, put our full trust in the interventions, and we are finally not sleep deprived for the first time in years. It’s been a total game changer for our entire family!
- Haley, daughter 6 months old
I reached out to Leslie to get naptime help for my 6 month old. My baby was sleeping 30-45 mins for each nap. I truly had given up hope of her ever being a napper. Leslie gave me the tools I needed to change naptime for my little one. Communication was excellent and I felt supported throughout the entire process. I can't recommend her enough!
- Kristy, daughter 5 years old
Leslie is an amazing sleep teacher! She listened to our concerns and goals and put together the perfect plan for our family. When she met with us, my 4.5 year old daughter loved her "sleep teacher" and was excited to work with Ms. Leslie! The first few nights were rough but Leslie listened, provided clear directions, and was positive with all of us! It was her guidance that helped tremendously through the first few long nights and by night 4, our daughter had it down. I honestly didn't expect the methods to work so well, so fast, but the sticker chart says it all - by night 4 she was in her room all night long! Now, for the first time in more than 2 years, I can kiss her goodnight, close her door, and I don't see or hear from her again until 7am in the morning.
That's life changing results!!
