I help women love their sleep and prioritize rest and self-care so they can wake up every morning ready to live a life that brings them joy!
About Me
Eight years ago, you would have found me in my dark bedroom at 3 AM, hunched over a creative project, convincing myself I was just a productive night owl. The truth? I was avoiding the inevitable—another sleepless night ahead.
When I finally crawled into bed, exhaustion meant nothing. My mind would race with endless thoughts as I stared at the ceiling until sunrise, then drag myself through the day fantasizing about which office furniture would make the best napping spot. (Under the reception desk always looked promising.)
Everything changed when I discovered sleep coaching—not as a career, but as my own desperate attempt at a solution.
After becoming a Certified Sleep Sciences Coach and finally breaking free from my cycle of insomnia and sleep deprivation, I knew I had to help others escape the same trap. What started as personal salvation became my passion.
From Bedroom Broadcasting to Published Author
In 2018, I launched The Calm & Cozy Podcast from the comfort of my bed—perfect for this proud introvert who discovered she had a knack for hiding behind a microphone. While I wasn't winning awards, listeners consistently told me my content was refreshingly realistic and honest. The ultimate compliment? My voice apparently had magical sleep-inducing powers, which led to a whole series of meditation episodes and bedtime stories.
Then came the plot twist I never saw coming. In 2019, an Instagram DM changed everything—not spam this time, but a legitimate New York publisher offering me a book deal. The Calm & Cozy Book of Sleep hit shelves in August 2020, followed by The Calm & Cozy Sleep Kit in 2022.
My book launch party was held in my living room during lockdown, with an exclusive guest list of three: my partner Jake, our dog Bo, and me. We "partied hard" until our usual bedtime of 9:30 PM.
“You’re like my sleep fairy godmother.”
Today, I help women prioritize sleep without turning their evenings into elaborate self-care productions.
Because honestly, who has time for hour-long routines when you're already exhausted?
“Listening to Beth feels like listening to a dear friend.”
The Fun Stuff
What I love most about myself: My sense of humor and my eyes—not necessarily in that order, depending on the day.
Secret career dream: Stand-up comedy. (Still working up the courage for that first open mic night.)
Current obsession: Dance! I'm on the floor about ten hours a week, teaching classes and perfecting my East Coast and West Coast swing. My mom and I compete regularly—not for the glory, but for the excuse to get glammed up and perform. Plus, I'm addicted to having goals to work toward.
Coolest travel experience: Volunteering as a muralist in a children's hospital in Brasov, Romania, connecting with the homeland of three of my great-grandparents. Close second: that epic Cape Breton road trip with Jake and his kids.
My Roots
I'm a Burlington, Ontario native, born into a family of kind, hilarious, and ridiculously talented people. My dad was a prairie-born historian who authored twelve books before we lost him to brain cancer in 2022. My mom, a small Northern Ontario town native (same hometown as Shania Twain—claim to fame right there), taught me the most valuable lesson: you can reinvent yourself at any age.
Pure joy activity: Weekly ukulele lessons. For over two years, I've spent thirty minutes every week singing and jamming with my teacher. It's not about becoming the next musical sensation—it's about those perfect moments of pure, uncomplicated fun.
