Dear Family
I am a qualified gentle and holistic sleep coach and have supported hundreds of families to peaceful nights through 1-1 coaching as well as through my successful group coaching program ‘The Good Night Sleep System’. I'm a Mum to three boys and understand the challenges of balancing a career alongside motherhood. Returning to work as a pharmacist after maternity leave on such little sleep made me feel anxious and felt risky. Everyone told me that the only way to get sleep was to leave my baby to cry. This did not sit right with me and this triggered my own investigation into the science of sleep and how to improve sleep with a gentle and responsive approach. I'm now qualified as a holistic sleep coach and my passion is to empower other sleep-deprived mothers, ensuring that they can return to work with confidence. I firmly believe that mothers should not have to navigate the demanding journey of returning to work while coping with a child's frequent night time waking. My approach not only provides guidance on the realistic expectations of normal infant sleep but also equips mothers with the knowledge and confidence needed to transform their little one's sleep — all without resorting to traditional sleep training methods of leaving babies to cry.
My Favourite Memory
My favourite memories are all from family holidays. I love going on adventures with my boys and I have amazing memories of seeing The Northern Lights in Finland on the last night of our trip. It was -20C but we got all our warm clothing on and ventured out into the dark night. We were standing on a frozen lake near to our cabin and then just out of nowhere, the sky lit up with lots of different colours swirling around. It really was a magical moment!
My Experience
I have helped hundreds of families across the world with their little one's sleep. I mainly work with babies and toddlers 0-3 years.
My Education
Qualification: I have completed the Holistic Sleep Coaching Program which is the most comprehensive training available in the UK. This thorough training at degree level includes sessions led by world leaders in the field of infant care including a Paediatrician, Occupational Therapist, Allergy Specialist, Doctor, Dietician, Health Visitors and International Board Certified Lactation Consultants. Topics covered include allergy, autism, nutrition, anxiety, mental health, SIDS and multiples.
