About Louise
When I found myself a single parent to three children under five, including an exclusively breastfed baby, I hit a wall. The exhaustion wasn’t just a challenge—it was a crisis. Through my journey of navigating those sleep deprivation, I discovered the transformative power of parent-centered strategies that prioritize emotional connection and well-being.
Now, I’m passionate about helping parents like you find their way through the fog of exhaustion, using approaches rooted in science, compassion, and lived experience.

FAQS
Why Would I Need Support?
This support is about helping you overcome exhaustion by understanding root cause being responsive to your needs, implementing sustainable practices, and creating an environment which improves life for the whole family.
What's the Focus Parent Coaching?
Parent coaching isn’t about prescribing rigid routines or quick fixes for your child. It’s about helping you thrive, even during challenging moments like night wakes or tantrums. We focus on strategies for emotional regulation, co-regulation with your child, and sustainable daily habits that empower you to respond with confidence.
Why Focus on the Parent Instead of the Child?
Parents set the tone for the household. When you’re emotionally regulated and equipped with effective strategies, it creates a ripple effect. This isn’t about “fixing” your child’s sleep; it’s about giving you the tools to handle sleepless nights and challenging moments with calm and connection, which naturally supports better outcomes for the whole family.
Is This Sleep Training?
No, this isn’t sleep training. This approach recognizes that sleep training focuses on modifying a child’s behaviours, whereas we start with you—the parent. Together, we address the root causes of exhaustion and work to implement strategies that align with your family’s values and needs, creating a foundation for long-term wellbeing.
How Will This Help Me?
Through tailored guidance and compassionate support, you’ll gain tools to navigate sleepless nights and parenting challenges without feeling overwhelmed. The goal is to help you feel more confident, connected, and in control—even when things don’t go perfectly.
