Bearaby’s award-winning, sustainable, and first-of-its-kind products include weighted “Napper” blankets, calming “Hugget” pillows, a cooling “Pupper Pod” dog bed, a “Cuddler” body pillow, and most recently, a weighted “Napigan” (cardigan).Alongside, Janet Kennedy, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist and sleep expert with two decades of specialized experience treating sleep disorders. She is the founder of NYC Sleep Doctor and NYC Sleep Consulting LLC, where she provides psychotherapy, coaching and consulting services. Dr. Kennedy is the author of The Good Sleeper: The Essential Guide to Sleep for Your Baby (and You). She is also a sought-after speaker for corporate wellness events (Facebook, Barclays, Lazard, Chanel, Aesop), retail events, and in-house product development events. Dr. Kennedy has been featured on Good Morning America, NY1 News, ABC News, The Tamron Hall Show, Good Day New York, Business Insider, and CBS This Morning; and podcasts such as MomBrain, Secrets of the Most Productive People (Fast Company Magazine), The Upgrade, Reid This Reid That, Raw Beauty Talks, and Simple Families. She has been widely quoted in print and online publications such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, Elle, Parents Magazine, Marie Claire, Self, Shape, Parade, Redbook, and Real Simple.
