As a qualified sleep consultant I am able to support you to implement changes to your baby/childs sleep routine to enable you all to get a good nights rest. I draw on my years of experience as a midwife and extensive additional training to provide you with a range of evidence based, age appropriate techniques that can be tailored to suit you and your parenting style. My approach is always holistic and draws on elements of nutrition, routines, bond building and more. This enables me to provide more than just a generic sleep plan and ensures a high level of success with my clients. I work with babies and children from 0-16years old, but I specialise in newborn and infant sleep.

2 sleep calls (total 1.5hrs) and personalised written plan
This package involves 2 calls a few days apart to help support your baby to sleep better. For this age group it is not recommended to use formal 'sleep training' techniques, but instead to focus on influencing factors and 'sleep shaping' to help your baby to settle and achieve age appropriate sleep patterns. Newborns and young babies sleep is very dependant on many different factors and the first 30 minute call is to take a detailed history and understand you and your baby's current sleep situation. After the call I will assess the information you have given me and compile a personalised plan along with supporting recommendations. A second 1hr long call will be scheduled a few days later to discuss this plan in detail before being e-mailed to you for your reference. As well as a personalised plan, this call is to help educate you on all things newborn sleep. It will help you to set up good sleep habits and introduce a natural routine or 'structure' if you want one. It can also troubleshoot common sleep concerns that you may have and guide you on your babies sleep journey as they grow. The methods used are all gentle and baby led and focus on building the foundations for good sleep.
1 hr sleep call and written plan
This is perfect for where there is one specific sleep issue that needs addressing or where a infant has previously slept well but is now struggling. You will complete a questionnaire and sleep diary prior to our call which i will use to make a sleep plan for your baby/child. Our hour long call will then go through the plan in detail and discuss any questions or concerns you may have. The plan will then be e-mailed to you following the call. No follow up support is included with this package.

This is the same as the Sweet dreams package but includes a 30 minute follow up call (at a discounted rate) 1-2 weeks later to discuss your progress and troubleshoot any issues you have faced.
3 sleep calls (total 1.75-2hrs) and written plan

You will complete a questionnaire and sleep diary prior to my first call which will last 15 mins and is to clarify anything from the sleep diary and questionnaire. A second 1-1.25hr call will be scheduled a few days later where i will outline a sleep plan with you in detail and go through any questions or concerns you may have. The plan will then be e-mailed to you following the call. A final 30 minute call will be scheduled 1-2 weeks later to discuss your progress and troubleshoot any issues.
