I’m honoured to share that I’ve been awarded Children’s Health Consultant of the Year as part of the Prestige Awards.

Not for fixing sleep quickly.
Not for rigid methods.
And not for one-size-fits-all solutions.

This recognition reflects the way I work with families — thoughtfully, evidence-led, and with a deep understanding of both child development and parental wellbeing.

Most of the parents I support are highly capable women balancing demanding careers alongside motherhood.
Sleep is rarely the first thing to unravel — but when it does, the impact reaches everything.

My work is about handling sleep properly, once.
With clarity, confidence, and evidence at the core.

Thank you to the team at .prestige.awards for this recognition — it truly means a great deal.

If you’re someone who’s usually on top of things — and sleep is the one area that feels out of control — this post is for you.

Most of the families I work with are:
• professionals
• leaders
• business owners
• used to solving problems efficiently

Sleep is different.
It’s biological, emotional and relational — not a productivity task.

And that’s exactly why generic advice doesn’t land.

If you’re ready for tailored, expert support (not trial-and-error), my DMs are open.

Reel speaking to high-performing professional mums who struggle with child sleep despite being organised and informed.

26/01/2026

If your baby or toddler wakes frequently at night, please hear this:

It’s not because you’ve fed to sleep.
It’s not because you respond too quickly.
And it’s not because you “missed a window”.

Sleep struggles are rarely one thing — they’re layered.

This is exactly what I support families with:
✔ evidence-based sleep
✔ emotional regulation
✔ responsive boundaries
✔ real-life parenting

If nights feel hard right now, comment SLEEP or send me a DM.
We’ll work out what’s actually going on 🤍

I gave my 8-month-old his first ever bedtime bottle of formula last night.

And I know exactly what assumptions people make when they hear that.

That breastfeeding wasn’t working.
That sleep must have been terrible.
That formula was the fix.

But that’s not how infant sleep works.
And it’s not how breastfeeding works either.

Teething made feeds temporarily painful.
Biting took its toll.
And protecting my body was the only way to protect our breastfeeding journey long-term.

What I see every day in my work is mums being pushed into false choices:
sleep or breastfeeding,
rest or responsiveness,
your needs or your baby’s.

But good sleep doesn’t come from swapping milk.

It comes from understanding what’s really happening — development, pain, nervous system load, maternal exhaustion — and responding with support, not pressure.

That one bottle wasn’t a sleep strategy.
It was a pause.
A boundary.
A way forward.

Following slides contain text only graphics saying But stopping was not the answer understanding what was happening was that is what real sleep support does it protects feeding and sleep and The truth is this I gave one bottle so my body could heal not to fix sleep breastfeeding did not need to end for my baby to sleep well it needed flexibility protection and the right support. One slide shows the woman standing in a kitchen holding a mug and smiling with text that says You are not failing you are just unsupported support changes everything.

What struck me today wasn’t how dramatic the leaning tower looked —
it was how familiar it felt.

Sleep deprivation doesn’t knock everything down overnight.
It leans.

It quietly takes pieces of a mother’s life:
her patience,
her enjoyment,
her resilience,
her sense of self.

Until she’s still standing…
but only just.

And then I noticed the statue beneath the tower —
there to support it.
To hold it steady.
To stop collapse.

That’s what sleep support really is.

Not indulgent.
Not a luxury.
Structural.

When sleep is supported, everything else stands stronger too.

2025 you’ve blessed me beyond words. I feel such gratitude looking back at my year. The many moments that I will hold in my heart forever. It’s the year my last pregnancy ended in the most empowering home birth (after two previous c-sections) - forever grateful to for the life changing experience. It was the year I watched my son and daughter become big siblings, the year I watched us all grow with our darlings boys arrival. It’s also the year I’ve felt even more gratitude for the work that I do, and for the families that choose to work with me. It’s the year that I have felt true community with other mums in business through and .

Its the year I’ve tried so hard to slow down time and focus on the little moments, but they’ve slipped through my fingers and instead of a newborn I’m watching as my near 8 month old starts trying to crawl, already missing his newborn scent and scrunch.

I’ve watched as my baby girl and turned into a sassy, confident and wonderfully wild 4 year old, as my eldest has grown from a little boy into a big little boy who can swim, and ride a bike and knows more about the world than me it would appear 😉

It’s the year my husband and I have passed each other like ships in the night as we navigate this transition of being totally outnumbered, but feeling safe in the knowledge it’s just this time and we’ll slowly get ourselves back as this season changes.

It’s been raw, and wild and stretched me in every way but my god do I feel lucky 🍀 To have the people I love around me in this life is something I cherish and thank you to all@of you for being here 🤍✨

Here’s to 2026 ✨❤️

You can have a baby who naps beautifully and STILL have chaotic nights — and it’s not your fault.

Naps and nights are controlled by two different biological systems:

🔹 Naps = sleep pressure
🔹 Nights = circadian rhythm

If these two aren’t aligned, you’ll often see:
• false starts
• split nights
• hourly wakes
• early rising
• long bedtime battles

Inside the Calm Nights Programme, I assess BOTH systems through my REST Method™ so you’re not just improving naps… you’re fixing the root cause of night sleep challenges.

If your baby naps well but nights feel unpredictable, DM NAPS and I’ll explain what may be happening.

If you’re heading back to work in January, here’s your gentle reminder: you don’t have to enter the New Year exhausted.

Most mums wait for sleep to “settle”…
But when nights are unpredictable, it becomes overwhelming — especially when you’re juggling work, home, and the emotional load of motherhood.

You deserve:
✨ calmer evenings
✨ predictable nights
✨ a baby or toddler who settles confidently
✨ clarity instead of decision fatigue
✨ support, not more guesswork

Inside The Calm Nights Programme, we use my signature REST Method™ to create deeply personalised sleep support for your family — responsive, structured, and emotionally attuned.

I intentionally take a very small client load.

I have 5 Boxing Day openings for the month of January.

📩 DM READY and I’ll send the details with zero pressure.

The Sleep Pressure Sweet Spot™ — this is the real reason some babies sleep long stretches and others don’t.

Most parents think night wakes come from:
❌ hunger
❌ teething
❌ regression
❌ “bad habits”

But in 80% of cases, the cause is…
➡️ mistimed sleep pressure.

Too much pressure → overtired → wired + cortisol
Too little pressure → undertired → body not ready to sleep

This is why the same baby can have:
• perfect nights one week
• chaotic nights the next
Just from timing changes.
