Meet Nyree Penn, Mhsc., Caa | Founder, CEO & Inventor

We had the good fortune of connecting with Nyree Penn, Mhsc., Caa and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nyree, what do you want people to remember about you?
I want my legacy to reflect a transformative impact in sleep health—a field where I redefined how we understand and treat sleep disorders, especially chronic insomnia and REM sleep deprivation. I hope to be remembered as a pioneer who brought sleep therapy into a new era, making it accessible, effective, and scientifically grounded.

Beyond just medical advances, I want my work to empower people with the techniques they need to reclaim restful, restorative sleep, thereby improving their quality of life. I would love for people to remember me not only as an inventor and leader but also as someone deeply committed to compassionate, patient-centered care. That means leaving a legacy where innovation was always coupled with empathy, making each person’s experience central to every decision. And I hope my efforts have inspired others to think boldly and pursue innovative paths in healthcare.

Ultimately, my legacy would be a life dedicated to giving people something so fundamental—a good night’s REST—and helping them find a happy, health LIFE!!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My “Shoutout” goes to my dad, Albert Harris. I would not be the woman I am today without his unwavering love, support, and guidance. He has been the foundation of our family and my lifelong “cheer dad”. He has always been there with encouragement no matter what I set out to achieve. Whether it was an early ambition or a leap into something completely new, he has always been right there cheering me on with confidence, and reminding me that, with him and God, I could accomplish anything!!

Growing up, he taught me the importance of respect, kindness, and humility. Those values are woven into every part of my journey; from founding PROSOMNIA Sleep™ to reinventing the boundaries of sleep therapy. His strength and dedication have inspired me to pursue my dream with perseverance. While, his belief in me has been a constant source of motivation.

To this day, my dad is my pillar of strength, my source of wisdom, and my reminder that family is at the heart of everything. His love has truly shaped who I am, and I am endlessly grateful for all he has poured into me and our family.
