About Us

Hi! I'm Eliana Bultrini Beeson, Founder and Owner of Little Angel Sleep Consulting, a Certified Infant and Child Sleep Consultant, and — most importantly — proud mom to Sofia (2017) and James (2020). (For the curious: no, we didn't know about Disney's "Sofia the First," whose brother is named James, when we chose our kids' names!)

My bio has to start with a few thank-yous, specifically to my daughter Sofia and my mother, Franca. In completely different ways, they're the ones who sparked my interest in infant sleep and my drive to help hundreds of families sleep better.

I'll admit I'm the grown-up version of a little girl who didn't sleep through the night for the first time until she was 5. I still remember how hard it was for me as a child to let go and fall asleep, and how conflicted my relationship with sleep was — I never wanted to go to bed.

Terrified by my mother's stories about my own childhood sleep struggles, when I found out I was expecting Sofia in 2016, I started researching infant sleep to understand whether sleep problems could be hereditary. Turns out they're not! Sofia actually slept well at night in her first few weeks of life (daytime was a different story — she slept little and poorly, always in a baby carrier, crying all day because of her gastroesophageal reflux). But around the four-month mark, everything changed: I had a baby who woke up every hour at night, who couldn't fall asleep during the day anymore — not even in the carrier or at the breast — who was perpetually exhausted. Every day with her felt like an uphill battle. I no longer recognized my daughter, and I no longer recognized myself. Lost in postpartum depression (I'm never ashamed to talk about it — there should be no stigma in doing so) and in sleep deprivation, I didn't know what to do or how to keep going. Friends, acquaintances, family, the internet, and mom groups bombarded me with confusing, contradictory advice on how to help Sofia sleep better… until I finally found the right resource for our family myself. Recognizing that I was too exhausted to be the mom I wanted to be was the turning point for me. Those first nights of peaceful sleep transformed Sofia into a completely different baby: attentive, smiling, calm, engaged in activities, more focused during feeds, and generally more interested in food. I can't put into words how much Sofia's improved sleep changed our relationship, my mood, our family's wellbeing, and the evening time my husband and I got back to reconnect as a couple.

Thanks to the work I did on my first daughter's sleep, I was able to work on my second child James's sleep from his very first days. That gave me a much more positive second experience of motherhood, even though James had gastroesophageal reflux just like his sister. That's my wish for every parent: to be well-rested, with energy to give to your little ones — and to get that energy back from them in return.

My own experience with sleep deprivation, and the mark it left on my early motherhood, is what pushed me to want to bring the same positive change — better sleep — to other parents too.

I completed the most thorough and globally recognized sleep consultant training and certification program, which gave me the theoretical foundation and first practical tools to start my business almost 6 years ago. But it's my years of hands-on experience — working with more than 900 children (over 400 of them with gastroesophageal reflux), each on a fully personalized sleep plan — that has truly shaped the approach I bring to every family I work with.

After launching my business in London, UK, in 2018, I moved two years ago to Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles, California (yes, the sunny one with palm trees — not Miami!). I currently support families with in-person overnight services in Los Angeles and in Rome (during the summer), and support families across Italy and internationally through remote consulting.
