Patti Teel is the fairy godmother of peaceful bedtimes. Dubbed “The Sleep Lady” by The Wall Street Journal, and “The Dream Maker” by People Magazine, she is the creator of an award-winning system which eradicates nighttime struggles between parents and kids. Her highly acclaimed audio series teaches children a fail-proof way to relax themselves to sleep through relaxation exercises based in yoga, visualizations, music and storytelling.
Patti considers her ability to connect with children to be her greatest gift. Her experience as a children’s music specialist and special education teacher have given her an ability to ‘reach’ children and understand their needs. Patti presents relaxation techniques in a fun way, teaching kids to remain calm, become aware of their feelings, handle anger, and relax in order to facilitate asleep. While she believes that self-soothing skills are important for all children, Patti believes that they are imperative for kids who are dealing with neurobiological difficulties and other special needs.
