"I had the pleasure of starting Summer's Signature Sleep Course in September 2018. One of the unique features of Summer's training and mentorship is the vast amount of experience she
draws on from her 20+ year career. The course is written in case study format, which is so helpful for learning practical strategies and tips for handling various situations. I enjoy how Summer shares what she does with clients and proposes other options that can be used".
