My Summary
About Me
A holistic sleep consultant—supporting families with sleep challenges by looking at the whole child, not just routines. Instead of offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I consider emotional wellbeing, physical health, developmental needs, and family dynamics.
Sleep support is gentle, respectful, and tailored to each child’s unique temperament and each family’s values. I guide parents with compassion and evidence-based insight, helping build trust, connection, and resilience—so sleep becomes a nurturing experience, not a battle.
My Experience
With over 30 years of experience in early childhood care, I’ve dedicated my life to supporting young children and the families who love them. My journey began with an NNEB Childcare & Education qualification, and over the years I’ve deepened my understanding through advanced training in sleep science—including the OCN Level 6 Sleep Practitioner Programme and Holistic Sleep Coach certification.
Before founding my sleep consultancy, I worked as a nanny, nursery nurse, and childcare professional, even running my own Ofsted-rated Outstanding setting. These roles gave me not only practical expertise, but a deep appreciation for the emotional and developmental needs of each child.
My passion for gentle, responsive sleep support is rooted in both professional experience and personal truth. As a mother to two prematurely born boys, I’ve lived through the fragile early months and understand the emotional complexities parents face. That journey shaped my belief in holistic, relationship-based care—where sleep support honours each child’s rhythm and each family’s values.
Today, I bring together everything I’ve learned—science, intuition, and empathy—to help families find sleep solutions that feel safe, respectful, and truly supportive. My mission is simple: to help every child feel secure enough to rest, and every parent feel confident enough to exhale.

My Availability
I offer flexible support throughout the week, with sessions available in both the morning and evening. I’m also available all day over the weekend to meet your family’s needs.
