Ideal if you are experiencing sleep challenges that have been the main event for a few 

weeks or more. Let me help you with the overwhelm by breaking down your goals into a gradual process of small achievable steps.

Reliable and on going support. For regular reassurance or attachment focused guidance with common sleep challenges of toddlerhood.

Ideal ...

• if you would like to invite more autonomy and independence for your child at sleep time, through close connection and curiosity rather than questionable methods of sleep training that don't feel quite right to you.

• if you find your toddler is always fighting sleep.  Are they in a permanent cycle of over-tiredness? Would you value some help in understanding your child's changing sleep needs, current stage of development and how these impact emotional needs and sensory preferences at sleep time.

• if you are keen to move away from contact naps or rocking your toddler to sleep.  This is a healthy and normal part of parenthood, but lets face it, not always convenient...or good for your back!  Let me help you explore how to coax some loving changes. 

• for managing excessive or increasing night wakes. Is you toddler confused about how sleep happens?  Do they believe you and your actions are the only way they can access or maintain sleep?  Perhaps this is your belief too?  Let me talk you through the most rewarding ways of re-writing these beliefs for everyone

• for learning how to welcome your child's emotions without trying to silence them, distract them or condition them to disassociate from their feelings.  This is a wonderful age to begin fostering emotional awareness in our little ones & for practicing emotional availability as parents.  (Trust me...as a mother of 4 teenagers, this is the single best investment of your time while your child is small!)

How it works.

Its hard to see a way forward when you're in the trenches of sleep deprivation with your toddler. Let me point you in the direction of predictable daily rhythms and restful nights. 

With easy to follow steps, I will support you in creating a playful and light approach to improving sleep that feels kind and respectful to your toddler's emotional and sensory needs, while building their confidence and contentment at sleep time. This is not a one size fits all approach. Together we will come up with an approach just for you and the needs of your little one.  

All emotions, lovingly supported. I DO NOT teach  spaced soothing, timed responses or cry it out methods. Safe co-sleeping & attachment parenting practices welcomed and supported. No extra charge to discuss more than 1 child in the family. 

You will not be required to follow any strict routines and you will always in charge of the process. If something is not working for you there is always more than one way of achieving goals. Communication and creativity are key in working things out together.

Initial consultation by phone or video call. 8 weeks of reliable, ongoing support, via phone & SMS are included in this package. Essential for learning how to navigate those inevitable leaps, holidays or illnesses, confidently, while safe-guarding your new found sleep.

Ideal if night time challenges are the main event for you and your toddler.  All the benefits of the Standard package, but ideal if you would you like me to come and witness your overnight sleep struggles, first-hand.

• Does your toddler or pre-schooler wake multiple times during the night?

• Are you struggling to keep them in their own bed?

• Are you wearing a groove in your carpet walking your child back to bed several times a night?

• Perhaps you love co-sleeping but not the endless night feeds that seem to be the expectation?

• Is your child requesting milk feeds every hour or two?

• Are they taking hours to resettle after they wake at night?

• Are you feeling anxious and frustrated in your reactions and need help keeping calm in the moment?

• Do you and your partner disagree on what approach to take?

• Would you like someone else with experience of these troubles, to help you work out what's going on and help you create a plan that feels right for everyone?

These are just a few of the reasons why some parents opt for an overnight consultation.

Though I have every faith in my standard distance support, there are always benefits in me seeing the situation first hand, such as...

• I can meet you & your toddler and get to know you all on a personal level

• I can also get a good sense of family dynamics

• On a practical level, I get to see the layout of your home and furniture, which can be helpful when deciding how to optimise sleep for parents. Different sleep arrangements can be a game changer! 

• If you're feeling anxious at the prospect of making changes I will be a calm presence to help you regulate your own energy so you can then effectively soothe and regulate your toddler's energy too.

• Lastly, it will also provide me with the opportunity to assess your child's sleep behaviour. Snoring, mouth breathing, strange sleep positions or noises, signs of discomfort or night terror behaviour may all hold relevance to the wider situation.

How does it work?

As with the Evening visit, I would aim to arrive at your home between 30-60mins before bedtime so I can join in with your familiar pre-bed routine.  During this time you can share your questions and concerns and I can share any observations or suggestions for easing your child's wind-down.  In many cases a few small changes at bedtime can be the missing link when trying to limit disturbance to night time sleep.   If your child needs lots of help to fall asleep at bedtime, then naturally they will need increasing levels of your support to maintain sleep overnight too.  Taking the mystery out of how sleep happens and inviting your toddler to explore new possibilities for accessing sleep in their own way, with added freedom and no pressure, can be a beautiful journey of discovery for everyone.

What happens once your baby is asleep?

Once your toddler has settled off to sleep we can then chat about our objectives for the night and our plans for feeding, resettling or sleep arrangements for when they wake.  You will be in in charge at all times.  My role is to support you in sensitively unravelling the nightly challenges and in helping you to find the easiest solutions.  I will be able to share my observations on the aspects that are going well and any that may not be working to your advantage.  I can then offer various suggestions for sleep arrangements and settling insights as we work together on optimising your toddler's confidence and contentment when it comes to falling asleep and resettling with ease if disturbed in the night.

All emotions, lovingly supported. I DO NOT teach  spaced soothing, timed responses or cry it out methods. Safe co-sleeping & attachment parenting practices welcomed and supported.

Package inclusions: 

• Pre-consult intake questionnaire
• A 12hr (approx) overnight stay/consultation
• Access to privately shared Google documentation for ongoing summary notes, recommendations and record of progress
• PDF resources
• 8 weeks of phone/email follow-up 
• Permanent membership to Facebook community

All of the benefits of the above Standard package, plus an in-home visit to get things started.  

Ideal if evenings and bedtimes are the most challenging time for you and your toddler and you would like me to come and witness your bedtime struggles first-hand. Together we can explore your child's well being, sleep patterns and stage of development, while creating a fun & engaging plan to build confidence and contentment at bedtime, while safeguarding secure attachment and your loving bonds of trust.  With play as the all important factor, your little one will soon be telling YOU it's bedtime, instead of the other way around! 

How it works...

I will aim to arrive at your home around 30 to 60 mins prior to your toddler's bedtime so I can join in with your familiar bedtime routine.  During this time you can share your questions and concerns and I can share any observations or suggestions for easing your child's bedtime wind-down.  In my experience, most parents are doing a wonderful job already.  A few simple shifts in connection, timing, sensory activities or sleep arrangements are often all that's required to provide a blissful drift in to slumber rather than the head to head combat or endless lunacy that has become the sleep time norm for you all lately. Overnight strategies and daytime routines, also covered during my visit.

All emotions, lovingly supported. I DO NOT teach  spaced soothing, timed responses or cry it out methods. Safe co-sleeping & attachment parenting practices welcomed and supported.

8 weeks of reliable, ongoing support, via phone, SMS &/or email are included in this package. Essential for learning how to navigate those inevitable leaps, holidays or illnesses, confidently, while safe-guarding your new found sleep.
