Your Certified Sleep Consultant
When Louise found herself a single parent to three children under five, exclusively breastfeeding her five-month-old, her struggle with sleep deprivation reached a crisis point. Faced with the challenge of managing three dependent children, she had contemplated stopping work, until she discovered the transformative power of holistic sleep coaching.
This experience enabled Louise to return to her job in children's services while igniting her passion for helping other families resolve sleep challenges, shaping her approach which centers on the fundamental belief that restorative sleep is vital for family well-being.
Louise combines her understanding of sleep science with a biopsychosocial model, which considers wider factors that can influence infant sleep, including perinatal trauma and adversity that are often overlooked.
By prioritising attachment and emotional security at every step, she aims to ensure restorative sleep for both parents and children.

FAQS
What is sleep coaching and how does it work?
Sleep coaching involves personalised guidance and strategies to overcome disrupted infant and child sleep. Our approach begins with a comprehensive assessment of your child's sleep patterns and your family's goals. Based on this assessment, we create a customized plan that may include bedtime routines, sleep environment adjustments, and gentle techniques to encourage self-settling and longer sleep durations. Throughout the process, your sleep coach provides continuous support, answers questions, and adjusts strategies as needed to suit your child's unique needs and your parenting preferences. By creating a nurturing and responsive environment, we aim to promote sustainable improvements in your child's sleep quality and overall well-being.
Don't Know Where to Start with Sleep Challenges?

This call will provide you with the clarity you need to get started, along with a follow-up email containing at least one actionable step to improve your child's sleep tonight.
What if it doesn't work?
We understand that sleep challenges can be complex and that every child responds differently to sleep coaching. Rest assured, our approach is flexible and adaptive. If initial strategies don't get the desired results, we collaborate closely with you to reassess and modify the plan as necessary. Louise remains committed to supporting you throughout the process, offering guidance, troubleshooting potential obstacles, and exploring alternative techniques to help achieve positive outcomes. Our goal is to empower you with effective tools and strategies that create healthy sleep habits for your child over the long term.
Does it involve "cry it out"?
Our methods are rooted in compassion and responsiveness to your child's individual needs. We prioritize attachment-focused strategies that nurture a secure and supportive environment for your infant. Crying is a natural form of communication for babies, and our approach to sleep coaching respects this fundamental aspect of infant development.
Rather than employing harsh "cry it out" methods, which may involve leaving a child to cry alone, we emphasise gentle techniques tailored to your preferences and your child's temperament. These techniques aim to gradually teach self-settling skills and promote healthy sleep habits in a way that feels comfortable and nurturing for both you and your child.
