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 nurturing support. For regular reassurance with normal infant behaviour and development, or attachment-conscious solutions to any troubling sleep challenges of infancy or toddlerhood.

Ideal for...

• working on increasing your baby's nap length.  Catnapping is a common activity of babies between 4-6 months, however, sometimes a few changes to routine can improve this.

• those parents who are keen to move away from contact naps or rocking their babies to sleep.  This is a healthy and normal part of parenthood, but lets face it, not always convenient.  Let me help you to coax some gradual changes without resorting to sleep training tactics.

• parents who feel that their baby is fighting sleep.  Understand the developmental changes and how this impacts your child's sensory needs.

• support with managing excessive or increasing night wakes. It's unlikely that your baby will be ready to sleep through the night any time soon.  However, keeping those wakes and disturbances to a minimum can help make all the difference when parents are struggling with sleep deprivation.

Its hard to see a way forward when you're in the trenches of exhaustion. Let me help you dissolve the overwhelm by creating small and manageable steps in the direction of predictable daily rhythms and less disturbed 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 child's emotional needs, while building their confidence and contentment at sleep time. This is not a one size fits all approach.   We will create a plan between us, just for you and the needs of your baby.

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

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.
