Why would you consider choosing me when there are so many sleep consultants available?

​

Who better to help you, than someone who has actually lived through what you are possibly experiencing. Firstly I know first hand how sleep deprivation can make you feel. I had two children 40 years ago and both were terrible sleepers, I suffered with Post Natal Depression and was simply unable to function normally on a daily basis.

Unknown to me, my children had been suffering with digestive issues and mild allergies which were not diagnosed until 2 years old. I was advised that my babies just had Colic and would get better, I was no expert, so who was I to question this when I was told that " it's a waiting game, part of parenting". Despite being in tears I had to just accept this as normal.

​

After this experience and not wanting anyone to have to suffer as I did, I began studying sleep behaviours in children. I have studied all concerns around childrens sleep, for the last 38 years.

I have helped thousands of parents enjoy a better night's sleep.

​

My approach is that of being calm, reassuring and responsive. Each plan that I discuss with you will be tailored around your child's individual sleep needs. Your child's sleep requirements will be evident to me from your child's behaviour during the day, and how fragmented your child's sleep is overnight.

​

When you are tired it is so easy to fall into the trap of Googling for answers or following a friends routine. At the end of the day when you are tired you will try anything. To avoid any unnecessary stress on your child or you, what I will say is do remember sleep is different for everyone, We all have different sleep pressures. Therefore what may work for your friends child, may not fit with your child's sleep requirements and will therefore not work.
