About the Parent and Baby Coach

Supporting and empowering families for over 18 years

As a Baby Sleep Coach, I now have over 9 years experience in working one to one with families and a total of 18 years childcare experience! I truly understand what it means to become a parent and am passionate about families being able to enjoy those precious first few years. By empowering you with knowledge, I want to enable families to make the right decisions, creating calm and contented children and confident parents.

I work with families either one to one through my 1-1 parenting packages or via my online parenting courses which cover topics such as baby sleep, behaviour, weaning and potty training.

You can trust me

Here are some of the professional bodies I work with / am accredited by:

Repeat after me. You are NOT failing. I’ve hear

Repeat after me. You are NOT failing. I’ve heard this said several times from clients recently and it makes me heart sad each time I hear it. I often hear things like “I have tried to follow a book/programme and things don’t seem to be progressing”. And because it doesn’t appear to be “working” then you assume that it’s something you’re doing wrong. Let me assure you that there is no such thing as doing anything wrong when it comes to your little ones sleep. You do what works for you and your family. And that includes the way you go about their sleep too.... I also want to reassure you that if something doesn’t seem to be improving then there is likely a reason. Not all tinies are able to sleep well after a few nights of sleep coaching and lots require a little more help and support, getting to the bottom of any underlying issues which are often hidden and not easy to spot even with the most knowledgable and trained eye. There is no one size fits all. But there is support if you need it. Don’t forget I have tons of free blogs and podcasts - link in Bio and you can join my mailing list too. You’re simply not failing, you’re doing just great. Tag a friend who needs to hear this today 💕
