Chelse Laqua
Meet Chelse Laqua
Chelse Laqua is a Sleep Consultant and Licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy based in rural North Dakota, a little town called Williston.
But before any title, I’m a wife and a mom of three busy boys.
When I’m not helping families find rest, you’ll likely find me spending time with my husband, our three boys, friends, and our two dogs. I love being outdoors, cooking, gardening, and reading. I deeply value the slower pace and close-knit community that comes with rural living — and that grounded perspective carries into the way I support families.
I know firsthand how overwhelming and exhausting sleepless nights can feel. I understand the fog of sleep deprivation, the bedtime battles that stretch longer than they should, and the emotional weight that comes when everyone in the home is running on empty. Sleep isn’t just about nights — it impacts the entire family’s well-being.
That lived experience, combined with my medical background, shapes the way I care for families.
I’m a sleep consultant based in Williston ND, a hardworking, close-knit community I’m proud to call home.
I support families throughout Williston, Watford City, Sidney, Dickinson, and the surrounding areas, but my work doesn’t stop there.
Through personalized Zoom and phone consultations, I’m able to help families no matter where they’re located. Whether you’re nearby or across the country, you’ll receive the same one-on-one support, guidance, and care to help your child get the rest they need.
How I Became A Sleep Consultant
I didn’t become a sleep consultant because I had it all figured out — I became one because I didn’t.
When my first son was a newborn, my husband and I felt completely lost. We were exhausted, overwhelmed, and unsure what was normal or what to do next. Like so many parents, we were just trying to survive the nights. It didn’t take long for us to realize we needed help.
As I began learning more about infant sleep, everything shifted. I saw how foundational sleep truly is — not just for babies, but for parents, marriages, mental health, and overall well-being. Sleep isn’t a luxury. It’s the baseline for healing.
In my work as a physical therapist, I’ve always been passionate about helping people heal and function at their best. Becoming a sleep consultant felt like a natural extension of that calling. Whether it’s a child learning to sleep independently or a parent finally getting restorative rest, sleep creates the space for recovery — physically, emotionally, and mentally.
What started as a desperate season in my own home became a deep conviction: families don’t have to navigate this alone. Individual support changes everything.
A Holistic, Evidence Based approach
With my background in physical therapy, I approach sleep through a holistic and evidence-based lens. I look at the whole child – development, environment, temperament, routines – and I create gentle, realistic plans that work in real life.
No one-size-fits-all schedules. No rigid, unrealistic expectations. No quick fixes that fall apart a week later.
Instead, I focus on:
- Gentle, responsive, and evidence-based methods
- Sustainable, lifelong sleep habits
- Individualized plans tailored to your child and family
- Supporting the whole family – not just the child
Sleep is deeply connected to physical health, emotional regulation, and family dynamics. My goal isn’t just better nights – it’s calmer days, more confident parenting, and a home that feels steadier and more rested.
Testimonials from chelse's clients
"Chelse was a Godsend! Our sweet baby, Leon, needed to have surgery when he was 7 months old and had a difficult time figuring out how to sleep after the trauma that occurred to his body. Chelse helped us come up with a plan that we were comfortable with and we immediately saw results. She helped us to figure out the ways we could be flexible and also where we needed more guidelines. Everyone in our house is sleeping, which makes for a much happier family!
Thank you Chelse!"

"Working with Chelse was a life saver! They are super organized and professional. My 4 month old baby was having multiple wake ups at night and he was able to sleep through the night by the end of our training. Chelse was easy to get a hold of and friendly to talk to. I highly recommend working with her!"

More Testimonials
"My wife and I were paired up with Chelse Laqua. Our goal was to get our child to sleep through the night, disassociate feedings from sleeping, and to get longer naps. We were able to reach all of our goals through Chelse's guidance in roughly two weeks.
Chelse was extremely empathetic, engaged, and helpful. She made the whole process very comfortable and educational for us. And provided us with extensive materials and guides for future success outside of the program.
This service is absolutely worth every penny! I can't recommend it enough!"

Proud Dad
"I had the privilege to work with Chelse. She was very easy to work with and really made me comfortable with the experience. I was hesitant to start sleeping training at first, but she helped me through it and was there for every question and really made sure things were working for my family. She took time out of her schedule to help me get through daylight savings time to ensure that my son was still learning to sleep on his own even with the time change. I highly recommend working with them. It was a great experience and I will recommend them to anyone who asks about sleep training!"
