Chrissy Lawler

Chrissy Lawler is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT, MS), USA Today bestselling author, and the founder of The Peaceful Sleeper — a science-backed, therapy-led approach to baby sleep training trusted by parents across the country.

With over 15 years of clinical experience as a therapist, Chrissy noticed that sleep deprivation was a consistent thread running through the mental health struggles of her clients. That insight led her to pursue advanced training in sleep medicine, where she found that many of the emotional and behavioral challenges parents and children face are directly tied to inadequate sleep. She built The Peaceful Sleeper Method to address both — combining her clinical background in developmental psychology, attachment theory, and family systems with practical, flexible sleep training frameworks that actually work.

The Peaceful Sleeper Method is a proven sleep training framework rooted in developmental psychology that honors parental intuition, giving parents the tools to help their child sleep while deepening their connection. Unlike rigid one-size-fits-all approaches, Chrissy's method adapts to each baby's temperament and each family's needs — offering gradual, modified, and accelerated routes so parents can choose the path that fits their instincts and their situation.

Chrissy has been featured as a sleep and parenting expert in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Good Morning America, Newsweek, and more. Her work has helped tens of thousands of families end exhausting nights, build stronger parent-child bonds, and finally feel confident in the newborn and infant stage.

Her goal is simple: to help parents enjoy parenthood — not just endure it.
