No. I do not use sleep training methods or any approach that involves leaving a child to cry alone or using controlled crying techniques.

My work is holistic and responsive, supporting sleep through understanding sleep biology, sleep pressure, nervous system regulation, and individual sleep needs across a full 24-hour period. The aim is to support sleep in ways that feel safe, respectful, and aligned with your family values.

Rather than focusing solely on night-time sleep or rigid schedules, I look at the whole picture.

This includes:

• Sleep across 24 hours

• Sleep pressure

• Nervous system regulation and co-regulation

• Development and temperament

• Environment, routines, and connection

• Family wellbeing and capacity

Sleep is not something to be “fixed” — it’s something to be understood and supported.

Yes. All of my guidance is grounded in sleep science and evidence-based research, including recommendations from the National Sleep Foundation, alongside current understanding of infant and child development, attachment, and regulation.

Supported independence is part of my work — but it is built gently, gradually, and responsively.

Independence does not mean disconnection. It means helping your child feel safe enough to develop sleep skills at a pace that aligns with their development, regulation, and emotional needs.

I support families with babies, toddlers, and young children, from early infancy through to school age.

Every developmental stage brings different sleep needs and challenges, and support is always tailored to your child.

Yes. My background as a SENDCo means I have experience supporting children with additional needs, neurodivergence, sensory differences, and complex developmental profiles.

Support is always personalised, flexible, and rooted in regulation and realistic expectations.

Yes. Newborn support focuses on education, reassurance, and safety, rather than changing how a baby sleeps.

I help families understand what is developmentally normal, support regulation, and reduce anxiety during the early months.

Absolutely.

I offer clear, evidence-based guidance to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), including:

• Placing babies on their backs to sleep

• Using a firm, flat, clear sleep surface

• Creating a safe sleep environment

• Understanding room-sharing recommendations 

Information is always shared calmly and without fear-based messaging.

Yes — when it’s something a family is considering or already doing.

I provide evidence-based guidance on safe co-sleeping setups, supporting informed decision-making and harm reduction, while respecting each family’s values and circumstances.

Yes.

I support assisted cot settling, using responsive, developmentally appropriate strategies that prioritise co-regulation, timing, and nervous system safety.

There is no expectation for newborns to self-settle.

Yes. This is very common and completely normal in the early months.

Feeding to sleep, contact naps, and needing support are part of early regulation and attachment. I help families work with this safely and gently.

Rather than rigid routines, I focus on flexible rhythms that follow your baby’s cues while supporting regulation and rest.

Not necessarily.

Frequent waking can be linked to development, sleep pressure, regulation, sensory processing, or health factors. It is rarely a sign of bad habits or parenting mistakes.

Sleep is not linear, and there is no single solution that works for every child. 

While I can’t guarantee that your child will sleep through the night for the rest of their lives, I can guarantee that we will work together to improve sleep.

If something isn’t working, we pause, reflect, and unpick the issues together, adjusting the approach as needed.

Every child and family is different.

Some families notice shifts quickly once sleep pressure and routines are better aligned. For others, progress is more gradual. The focus is always on sustainable, realistic change rather than quick fixes.

That’s absolutely okay.

Changes are always optional, gradual, and family-led. Sometimes understanding sleep alone brings relief.

I hold:

• BA (Hons) Degree in Education

• PGCE with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)

• Level 6 Holistic Sleep Coaching Programme Accreditation

I also have over a decade of experience in Early Years education and three years as a SENDCo, supporting children and families across a wide range of needs.

Due to the personalised and time-intensive nature of my work, I’m unable to offer refunds once support has begun.

I am, however, fully committed to working with you throughout your package and adjusting support as needed.

Yes. Payment plans are available to make support more accessible. Please get in touch to discuss options.

Yes.

I offer a 15-minute no-obligation discovery call, where you can:

• Talk through your situation

• Ask questions about my approach

• Decide whether working together feels right

There is no pressure to book further support.

Learn Sleep Thrive is for families who want:

• A gentle, responsive approach

• Evidence-based guidance without fear-based messaging

• Support that honours connection, attachment, and individual needs

• To understand sleep rather than control it

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
