I’ve always been a troubled sleeper and tried just about everything to get a good night’s rest. Having a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and spending most of my career in product design, I set out to solve my own sleep problems. Sleep Pod uses the same science behind weighted blankets to help you get a better night’s sleep.

After losing my mother to suicide as a teenager, I turned my pain into passion for helping others who are suffering from mental illness. I have a Masters Degree in Community Psychology and I’ve spent the last 10 years working in mental health care. I know just how important sleep is for our physical and mental wellness, so when Matt shared his idea for Sleep Pod with me, I encouraged him to bring it to market to help others get a better night’s sleep.
