About Miss Meg—

Miss Meg, a renowned figure in the world of Pediatric Sleep, is the Founder of Infinite Connection Academy, the creator of the non-cry-it-out Ebb & Flow™ Sleep Method, and Founder of the nonprofit Pili Pau Ole. As an internationally recognized expert in Sleep, Mindful Parenting, Early Childhood Development, and Hygiene Independence (i.e. Potty Training), she offers families a unique service that combines observation, analysis, and hands-on recalibration to transform the lives of children and parents on their path to building a warm, richly connected family. Miss Meg's mission is to transform bedtime into a dreamlike experience for the entire family's well-being.

Miss Meg felt called to work with children early on and her passion for that work grew into a globally renowned philosophy, Ebb & Flow (formally known as Miss Megan’s Method). Miss Meg serves as Newton Baby’s resident sleep expert in addition to the many other companies she advises on products and written materials. She has worked with more than 8500 babies and children (from birth to 12 years old), and has been a special needs, twin and triplets expert for over 20 years, a Montessori Directress and Baby Nurse for over 15 years, and has run 3 Montessori Preschools. She ran a Montessori Homeschool for more than 10 years and a private Sleep Center for two.

Miss Meg is a Homeschool Consultant, and spent the last decade teaching, coaching, and coordinating hundreds of families as they navigated NYC homeschooling regulations and benchmarks. In addition to being a Board Certified Holistic Health Coach and Life Coach, she has also been a two-time surrogate (inc. a set of twins), is a single-mother by choice to her three kids and enjoys homeschooling them on Hawaii’s garden island, Kauai.

In 2020, Miss Meg was part of the founding team at the online sleep school Batelle - as their Chief Methodology Officer. After two years, supporting thousands of families, being featured in Forbes and Financial Times, and helping to raise $6-million of investment, Miss Meg decided to step away to return to her core passion for private practice.
