High-achieving professionals don't lack discipline. They lack a sleep strategy built for the life they're actually living. With over two decades in sleep science, Laurel Ivy partners with executives to build what sleep hygiene lists never could: a system that works at your pace, in your time zone, under your pressure.

About Me
"Most sleep coaches come from wellness. I come from medicine. That changes everything about how I work."
I began my career in 2004 at one of the United States' leading research hospitals, training under experienced sleep physicians and building a foundation in clinical sleep science that took years to develop. Over two decades, I worked across diagnostics, CPAP therapy, chronic care navigation, and patient education, learning not just how sleep works, but why it breaks down under pressure.
My clinical path moved from sleep diagnostics into care navigation, where I specialized as a Sleep and Cardiac Navigator. Alongside that work, I spent years in the sleep lab with combat veterans managing trauma-related sleep disruption and chronic hyperarousal. That experience gave me a depth of understanding in stress physiology and nervous system function that continues to shape everything I do with clients today. My contributions to the field were recognized in Florida Today, and I later served on the Board of Directors for the Florida Association of Sleep Technologists.
In 2021, I founded Laurel Ivy Consulting LLC and stepped out of clinical healthcare to work directly with professionals and executives worldwide. I hold a Bachelor of Applied Science in Health Administration and a Certificate in Laboratory Sciences, alongside my credential as a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist. Since launching my practice, I have delivered over 3,900 one-on-one sessions totaling more than 2,000 hours, working with clients across technology, finance, media, manufacturing, and government sectors globally.
I am based in Valencia, Spain, and work with clients virtually across every time zone. When sleep breaks down, everything else quietly follows. My job is to help you change that.
What We Offer
Why It Works
The advice most executives have received about sleep, go to bed earlier, avoid screens, take melatonin, was designed for average lifestyles. Yours is not average. Global meetings, cross-timezone travel, and the sustained cognitive demands of senior leadership require a fundamentally different approach.
I treat sleep as a performance variable and a leadership asset, not a self-care checkbox. Every protocol I build is grounded in the clinical science of how sleep actually works, then translated into something a 12-hour meeting schedule can accommodate.
My background is in sleep medicine, not lifestyle coaching. Two decades in sleep labs and hospital settings gave me an understanding of sleep physiology that I bring directly into every client engagement.
Jet lag, irregular schedules, ADHD, perimenopause, shift work, global teams. I work with these challenges every day. They are not edge cases in my practice. They are the work.
I work at the intersection of sleep science and executive performance. When sleep breaks down at the leadership level, it affects decision quality, emotional regulation, and organizational output. I address all of it.
I build protocols around the life you are actually living. Small, precise changes that produce outsized results. Nothing that requires a lifestyle overhaul or a week without meetings.
How It Works
Client Results
I had spent years, maybe even decades, sleeping poorly and assumed that was just how it was going to be. Laurel not only taught me the science behind what was happening, but also gave me practical, manageable strategies that made an immediate difference. Through our work together, I uncovered so many everyday habits and long-held stressors that were quietly impacting my sleep without me even realizing it. Working with her has been empowering, eye-opening, and truly life-changing. I feel happier, healthier, and more clear-headed in my day-to-day life because I am finally getting the rest my body and mind need.
She genuinely cares about the whole picture, how sleep connects to every aspect of life, not just what happens at night. I had never realized how much my daily patterns were affecting my rest. Building that awareness, then addressing things head-on, has been truly life-changing.
The suggestions Laurel offered during our first meeting worked the first time and every night since. She has been life-changing. I no longer rely on melatonin or Benadryl.
If you are looking for a coach who is extremely knowledgeable about the science of sleep and creates a safe space to be honest about your challenges, Laurel is your coach. I was shocked that I saw results that week after implementing. Six months later, it is still working. I am overall a better employee, wife, daughter, and friend because of the increase in energy that resulted from getting better quality sleep.
Laurel helped me understand how day-to-day experiences and stressors directly impact my sleep and gave me practical tools to work through them. Building that awareness, then addressing things head-on, has been truly life-changing.
