Meet Your Sleep Specialist
Hi, I'm Vicki Poulios, owner and found of Sleepy Bear Consulting. I've been a Pediatric Sleep Specialist since January 2019. I worked for a sleep consulting company in Toronto, helping a diverse range of families, before moving to North Vancouver and starting my own company. In my past life, I worked in public health, primarily in tobacco prevention among priority populations (youth and Indigenous). I also worked in education, and taught in the public school system for a few years. I have a masters degree in Adult Education, and love to witness people come alive while they learn new skills and take ownership of their own health. I am thrilled to be doing this in the pediatric sleep arena. I love helping parents reclaim their lives by helping them get more sleep so they can be the best version of themselves for their kids. And, of course, I love helping babies and toddlers get the rest they deserve -- there's nothing better then greeting those tiny little faces and their beaming smiles after a full night of restful, consolidated sleep.
​
I live in North Vancouver with my husband and two lovely little sleepers.

My Philosophy
My approach to sleep consulting is based in science and evidence. I don't adhere to a specific philosophy or theory of parenting, and I don't judge any behaviours or decisions that bring parents to me. I believe that no one knows your child better than you. While I am a specialist in pediatric sleep, you are the expert on your child. I rely on both of our expertise in order to craft a customized solution that will work for your child and your family.
