Sleep Essentials
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.”
Sleep On The Go
Snoozeshade
One of our favourite products for napping on the go. Not only do the products protect little ones from the sun but they provide darkness for naps (and reducing FOMO!).
Sun protection and darkness for naps
Reduces FOMO during sleep
Perfect for travel and outings
Easy to install and remove

We used this as well as the Snoozeshade for naps on the go which helped provide a consistent sound for sleep as well as reducing any external noise which could create FOMO.

Home Sleep Environment
Easynight Portable Blackout Blind
We used this at home for years because it works so much better than a usual black out blind / curtains. We have also taken it on holiday with us which has been a lifesaver when the curtains were like a piece of tissue paper!
Superior blackout compared to regular curtains
Silver back prevents glass heating and cracking
Perfect for travel and holidays
Easy installation
White Noise Machine & Nightlight
We've been using this for years. The white noise stays on all night which is exactly what you need so that the sleep environment doesn't change. The nightlight can be different brightnesses and being red, it doesn't inhibit the sleep hormone melatonin.
Continuous white noise all night
Red nightlight (doesn't affect melatonin)
Adjustable brightness levels
Proven long-term reliability

Sleep Clothing & Comfort
Swaddle Bags
These were great for the early days with an easy transition out of the swaddle as well.
Perfect for newborn comfort
Easy transition design
Safe swaddling solution
Quality materials
Gro Sleeping Bags
I LOVE sleeping bags and found the Gro bags lasted really well. They don't come off the baby or toddler like a blanket does and prevent little ones from being able to get their legs over the top of the cot so it stops them climbing out.
Stays on unlike blankets
Prevents cot climbing
Durable and long-lasting
Various tog ratings available
Transitional Sleeping Bag
This one is genius - it transitions between 1 and 2.5 tog so you can add or remove layers without waking the baby. Perfect for if they are restless in the early hours when the temperature drops.
Adjustable tog rating (1-2.5)
No need to wake baby to adjust
Perfect for temperature changes
Innovative design

Reflux Support
As part of my course, we had a session on reflux. I am not an expert in this field and therefore will not advise on it but Aine is the lady to help.
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.
