Sidewalk Talk

Soda Kuczkowski of Start With Sleep has spent the last 13 years educating and supporting physician offices, community organizations and hospitals to address the risks associated with undiagnosed medical sleep disorders and represented a center that provided diagnostic testing for them.

What she has found in her time in healthcare is that sleep challenges are most often tied to behavioral, lifestyle choices that when continued over a period of time can manifest themselves into more serious medical conditions. Furthermore, that diagnostic testing leaves a void for those that are sleep deprived but not positive for sleep disordered breathing issues. Patients are often left feeling hopeless without a solution to their sleep problems and without a resource to find a customized plan that works for their individual needs.

She saw the need to directly provide education to the community regarding strategies that embrace both the science and art of sleep for a holistic solution to their sleep challenges. Beyond her direct work in clinical sleep health education, she attends yearly medical sleep conferences (35+ CEU's) and has completed sleep certification's in maternity + child sleep, as well as in integrative adult sleep health through The International Parenting Health Institute™ (IPHI).

Soda founded START WITH SLEEP to help support and provide education on how to get a good night’s sleep naturally and safely for anyone looking for guidance.
