Expert support to help families navigate their parenting journey

Gentle, evidence-based guidance from an infant sleep consultant that honors your baby’s emotional needs while supporting your whole family’s wellbeing. Based in Melbourne, I offer in-home consults, tailoring sleep support to help families navigate infant and toddler sleep challenges.

As a Registered Counsellor and Early Parenting Consultant, I provide expert guidance tailored to your family's unique needs. My experience consulting and working in Early Parenting Centres, sheds light on the emotional and practical challenges you face. I specialise in gentle parenting strategies and offer sleep support to help families navigate the complexities of baby sleep.

I provide practical, hands-on support as a baby sleep consultant, right in the comfort of your home. Together, we will observe routines, understand your baby’s sleep patterns, and I will offer personalised guidance rooted in gentle parenting principles. As a Melbourne based parenting consultant, my goal is to support you to feel confident in using sleep and settling strategies tailored to your infant.

A gentle, step-by-step sleep plan crafted by a baby sleep consultant, designed around your baby’s temperament, age, and developmental needs. Every baby is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to sleep. I work with you to understand your baby’s temperament, their developmental stage, your parenting values, and the needs of your whole family. No harsh “cry-it-out” methods are used. Instead, parents are guided through gentle parenting strategies that support babies emotionally while gradually improving sleep patterns. The goal is sustainable sleep and confident parenting. Sleep changes take time, and continued sleep support and reassurance help you feel supported as you implement these gentle strategies.
