I'm Kate and I'm a sleep expert with a PhD in Sleep Psychophysiology. I help parents understand th I don't say this lightly!

I strongly believe that sleep is not a luxury and it's not selfish to want or need better sleep - it's a biological imperative to survive! I have spent my career researching sleep, with a PhD in sleep neurophysiology and then with several postdoctoral fellowships, one of which was in the Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School. I've worked with hundreds of families who believed that t

he only two options were either let them "cry it out" or wait it out - both of which are unhelpful as they just tap into your guilt that it's somehow your fault for getting into the situation in the first place (I mean it's just sleep - how hard can it be?!!!)

I want to change the way we look and think about sleep. I want to shift you from feeling anxious and overwhelmed to feeling competent and confident in developing and supporting healthy sleep skills so that you and your child can thrive and get the most out of life.

Sleepless nights are part of parenting, but if exhaustion has become your constant state, it might be time to reassess. Did you know that chronic sleep deprivation can affect your health, relationships, and ability to enjoy parenthood? 😢

These are some signs that it's time to seek support;

💤 Struggling to function during the day;
💤 Feeling irritable, anxious, or overly emotional;
💤 Difficulty bonding with your baby and
💤 Tension in your relationships.

Sleep challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re too tired to think clearly. A sleep expert can help you untangle the issues and create a plan that works for your family so you can start getting the rest you deserve.

Help is available 🤍

Returning to work for the first time after having a baby is a big life transition, and it can come with its own set of challenges, especially if your baby’s sleep isn’t where you’d like it to be.

Balancing work, parenting, and sleep deprivation can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

This is the perfect time to seek support! A sleep consultant can help you create a sustainable routine that fits your family’s changing needs, making the adjustment smoother for everyone.

With a little guidance, you can focus on this new chapter with confidence and the rest you need to thrive.

Becoming a parent for the first time is a whirlwind of emotions, filled with joy, wonder, and excitement, but also exhaustion and a touch of chaos.

Among all the new challenges, sleep often becomes a major concern. It’s not just about helping your baby sleep but also figuring out how to cope with sleepless nights and unpredictable nap schedules. Unfortunately, there’s no manual handed out in the delivery room, and many parents find themselves overwhelmed and searching for answers.

Looking back, I wish someone had told me these key lessons about baby sleep. 👉

Remember, every night is a new beginning! 🌙

Tough nights happen, but they don’t define the next one. Stay positive, be patient, and trust that with time and consistency, healthy sleep habits will follow for both you and your baby.

I’m here to help you navigate the ups and downs of baby sleep with kindness, evidence-based strategies, and a personal touch. Whether you’re dealing with frequent night wakings, short naps, or simply trying to make sense of what’s reasonable for your baby’s age, I’ll be with you every step of the way. 🤍

When working with families, I like to focus on the following areas:

💤 An in-depth look at your baby’s sleep patterns and needs,
💤 Create a customised plan aligned with your goals and parenting style,
💤 Provide ongoing support and adjustments to keep things on track,
💤 Judgment-free environment where you feel genuinely heard and empowered!

Every family’s sleep journey is unique, and I aim to help you cultivate a calm, joyful, and well-rested home for you and your little one.

Let’s embark on this journey together!

As a sleep specialist, one of the most common questions I hear from parents is, "When should I get help with my baby's sleep?" There’s no one-size-fits-all answer because every baby and every family is different.

But if you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or simply overwhelmed, it’s often a good sign that it’s time to explore your options and seek guidance. Sleep is essential for your baby’s health, and for yours too, so reaching out for support is a positive step toward nurturing your family’s overall well-being. 💓

I'm here when you're ready to chat!
