Never. I am completely attachment-led and I don't believe in leaving babies to cry alone. Every method I use is gentle, responsive and designed to feel safe for your baby and manageable for you. If you've been put off sleep support because of cry it out , I completely understand, and I want you to know that's not how I work.
It means I look at the whole picture, not just bedtime. We'll look at your baby's developmental stage, temperament, sensory needs, sleep environment, feeding patterns and daily rhythms. We'll also look at you — your mental health, your support network, and what's actually sustainable for your family. Sleep doesn't happen in isolation, and I never treat it like it does.
No. I don't believe rigid schedules work for every family, and I wouldn't want you to feel like you're failing if life gets in the way. Your plan will be flexible, realistic and built around your baby's natural rhythms — not the other way around.
I am Level 6 OCN qualified, trained on the Lyndsey Hookway Holistic Sleep Coaching Programme, one of the most respected, evidence-informed training programmes in the UK. This means everything I share with you is grounded in up-to-date research on infant development, attachment and sleep science.
I support families with babies and toddlers aged 6 months to 5 years. Whether you have a young baby who has never settled well or a toddler whose sleep has completely fallen apart, I can help.
Yes. I take your baby's developmental stage into account as part of every plan. We won't fight against what their brain and body are doing, we'll work with it. In fact, having support during a tricky developmental period can make a real difference.
This is one of the most common things I hear, and my answer is always yes. Often the families who feel most stuck are the ones who benefit most from a fresh set of eyes and a truly bespoke plan. What hasn't worked before may simply not have been the right fit for your baby or your family.
We'll have a relaxed 30-minute chat about what's been going on, what you've already tried, and what you're hoping for. There's no pressure to sign up on the call. I'll recommend the package I think fits best and give you time to think it over. If you decide to go ahead, I'll send everything over and we'll get started.
I won't promise you sleep in three days, because sleep is influenced by development, temperament, health, environment and consistency, and every family's journey is different. What I will promise is that with the right support and a plan that genuinely fits your family, things will get better. Most families start to notice real change within the first couple of weeks.
It means you have direct access to me throughout your package. You can message me when you're stuck, when something isn't working, or when you just need a bit of reassurance. You won't be left to figure it out alone. That's one of the things I feel most strongly about.
Nothing at all. Just show up as you are. If you want to jot down a rough idea of your baby's current sleep pattern beforehand that's helpful, but it's absolutely not required. I'll ask everything I need to know on the call.
If you have a question that isn't answered here, please just reach out. There is no such thing as a silly question when you're running on no sleep and trying to do the best for your baby
