What changed after we worked together...
Penny now settles independently in her own bed after stories and sleeps through the night.
Mum can now do solo bedtimes for both children without tears, chaos or guilt.
Evenings have become peaceful, calm, and loving again.
“Now that we have our toddler sleeping so much more independently and consistently, I feel like we have our evenings back. We don’t spend hours trying to keep her in her bed, bedtime is straightforward and ends the day in a loving and calm way - a far cry from what we had before.”

FAQs
What is responsive sleep training?
Responsive sleep training means helping your child learn healthy sleep habits in a way that feels safe, respectful, and supported for both of you. It’s not one-size-fits-all. I take into account your little one’s temperament, sleep environment and daily routine, along with your parenting values and family goals.
There’s no rigid routine and no “cry it out.” Instead, I offer a tailored, flexible approach that fits your child and helps you stay confident and calm through the process.
What ages do you support?
I work with families from pregnancy through to children aged 6.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
=> Expecting / 0-3 months: My Gentle Beginnings: Newborn Sleep Support Call helps you lay strong foundations early.
=> 18 weeks - 6 years: Full 1:1 sleep support is available once your baby is developmentally ready for more structure and change.
=> Returning clients: I also offer troubleshooting sessions for families I’ve previously worked with.
Will my child be left to cry?
No. I don’t use “cry-it-out” or ask you to ignore your child. But let’s be honest change is hard, and crying is a normal way for children to express frustration or confusion when something feels different (just like when you give them the blue cup instead of the pink one).
What matters is that you’re there. I’ll guide you to respond with confidence, stay emotionally connected and support your child through any upset in a calm, reassuring way.
Where are you based and can we work together if I’m not local?
I’m based in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire but I work with families across the UK (and beyond!) via video call. As long as you speak English and have internet, I can support you wherever you are.
Can you help with more than one child at once?
Yes. Whether you’re juggling toddler bedtime resistance alongside a baby’s night wakes, or managing twins, I offer sibling support that’s tailored, practical and kind. You don’t have to figure it all out alone and yes, it’s doable even if you’re solo parenting.
I’m breastfeeding, can you still help us sleep better?
Absolutely. You don’t need to stop breastfeeding (or change how you feed at all) to improve sleep. I’ll work with your feeding goals, your values and your baby’s needs to create a sleep plan that protects your breastfeeding journey and works with your lifestyle.
Do we have to stay home for naps?
Nope. Life doesn’t stop for naps and your sleep plan shouldn’t either. I’ll help you build a flexible routine that includes contact naps, naps on the go and realistic expectations so you can rest and live your life.
What’s included when we work together?
You’ll get full access to expert-led, personalised sleep support. That includes an in-depth assessment, a bespoke sleep plan, a video consultation, daily WhatsApp support, a shared sleep log, bonus resources and emotional support for you too.
How does online sleep support actually work?
All sessions take place via Teams video call and WhatsApp support means you can check in with me daily - from wherever you are. I work closely with each family, offering tailored tweaks and guidance in real time so you’re never left second guessing.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. I offer payment plans on all full sleep support packages because I believe this support should be accessible. Just drop me a message - there’s no awkwardness and no judgment.
What if I’m not sure this is the right fit?
Let’s chat. I offer free, no-pressure discovery calls so you can ask questions, talk through what’s going on, and get honest advice. If I’m not the right person for you, I’ll tell you and if I can help, I’ll explain how.
