About ME
I know what it feels like to be surviving on no sleep. I've been there, and I want to help you through it."
Hi, I'm Abi. I'm 29, married, a mum of two little ones aged four and five, and I grew up on a farm in the countryside. That's actually where the name Little Willow comes from. I'm a Level 6 OCN qualified infant sleep consultant, trained on the Lyndsey Hookway Holistic Sleep Coaching Programme, one of the most respected, evidence-informed training programmes in the UK.
But before any of that, I was just a very tired mum at the end of her rope.
My story
When my youngest was eight months old, I was up every thirty minutes through the night, feeding to sleep every single time. I was exhausted, touched out, and completely stuck in a cycle I didn't know how to break. My anxiety spiralled and I struggled to leave the house. I reached out to a sleep trainer and it changed everything not just my baby's sleep, but my mental health, my relationship, and how I felt about motherhood. I was told not to feed to sleep anymore, and whilst part of me felt ready to let my breastfeeding journey go, I really struggled to come to terms with it.
Why I trained
That experience lit something in me. I wanted to be able to do for other families what had been done for mine — but I also wanted to do it properly. I trained at the highest level so that every family I work with gets genuine expertise, not guesswork. I chose the Lyndsey Hookway programme specifically because of its holistic, attachment-led values. It reflects exactly how I believe sleep support should be done.
