my approach

​

If you are currently finding elements of your baby or child’s sleep challenging and/or it is impacting on your physical and/or mental health and wellbeing, I am here to support you and your family using a purely holistic, gentle and responsive approach.

 

Sleep is multi-faceted and every child has their own individual emotional, psychological, sensory and physical needs, which is why there is no blanket set of rules which apply for every family. This is important to bear in mind for all children and particularly so for neurodivergent children. There are so many factors, which can lead to the perception of a good or bad night’s sleep.

 

My role is to work with you, the expert on your child, and take an in-depth look at the whole picture assessing which variables may be affecting your little one’s sleep situation. 

 

My holistic approach means I will consider with you and discuss your child’s neurotype (or likely neurotype), sleep biology, sleep hygiene, feeding and nutrition, physical and mental health and allergies amongst other things. We will discuss possible causes for any sleep challenges and create a bespoke plan for addressing your goals which aligns with your parenting style and values.

​

One of the huge things I have come to appreciate from parenthood is the value of calm and headspace (and how difficult it can be to achieve either!). I am here to help instil some clarity with your little one's sleep. 

 

At the heart of my support role is promoting connection, co-regulation and attachment between you and your child and empowering you to feel confident approaching your child’s sleep responsively.

 

I do not use or recommend any strategies of an unresponsive nature eg. cry-it-out or controlled crying.

 

If you would like support with your little one’s sleep without using sleep training methods and you feel my approach aligns with the support you are seeking, I would love to hear from you.
