Catherine Lessman

After attending college for Child Psychology and Development, my favorite part of my studies was working with the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, in their Sleep Lab creating a study to help little ones sleep better with a comfort item. I learned a great deal about the science of sleep, children's sleep habits and newborn sleep and have continued furthering my education in sleep to this day. Once starting my career, I worked for Autism Speaks. I worked with a vast population of children, but my most loved work while an Autism Advocate was working with the Preschool population and creating tools and methods for them to ease into the transition to Kindergarten. From there, I went on to work in a preschool setting, where I was known as Miss Catherine. I spent many years helping children and families transition into toddler-hood, navigate eating habits, behavior management, potty training and again sleep. It was during those years that I realized I spent most of my days helping families navigate the waters of early childhood and transitions. I had so much knowledge, education and first hand experience that I wanted to share with them, yet most of all I felt like the parents needed support through these times. It was then that Miss Catherine Consulting was born. I have been working with families over the last decade, spreading knowledge, methods and support for all their childhood concerns. From individualized consulting, to group workshops and seminars it has been my pleasure to help families grow, learn and succeed! My individualized approach that every child, family, and situation are different, allows me to make your experience personalized and work best for your family. Being a mother myself, I know how precious time is especially when we have littles around. I love that I get to help families tackle these transitions head on, so they can fill that precious time with the FUN things!
