About Us
We have a lifetime's experience of working with parents, babies and toddlers in managing sleep difficulties and every aspect of parenting young children. We've both been working mothers and both had a child who wouldn't sleep.
Knowing that sleep or getting enough sleep is THE biggest predicament for parents we began our research in June 2008. We ploughed through the sleep guru books and research that promise 12 hours of quiet bliss every night. Our conclusion?
Well – we believe in nurture not strict regimes. However, just as you will teach your baby/toddler many other social habits we do believe good sleep patterns can be taught. We like to see the whole family at each consultation because any sleep solution needs to sit comfortably with both parents/caregivers.
Ultimately poor sleep patterns can lead to:
- Unhappy baby / defiant child
- Hyperactive/wired / sleep resistant baby / toddler
- Temper tantrums
- Poor immunity
- Decreased learning ability
- Parental low mood
- Relationship difficulties
If you think about it sleep deprivation has the same impact on adults. We're bad tempered, more prone to minor illnesses and find it difficult to concentrate.
The most gratifying part of our work is seeing how an improvement in a baby/child's sleep patterns has a knock on impact for the whole family. Parents will often report an improvement not only in their mood but their relationship too. Not surprising when they have more time and energy for each other. Unquestionably parents tell us their baby/toddler is 'happier' and 'healthier' with improved sleep patterns.
We promise a down to earth solution focused approach. The times we look at each other and say, "If only we'd known then what we know now". Hindsight's a wonderful thing but we can pass on our knowledge and skills to make family life easier for you.
We've both worked in the NHS as nurses and health visitors for many years and are passionate about helping families with babies and toddlers between 0-5 years who are having problems sleeping.

Many times we look at each other and are glad our children were born 30 years ago! The plethora of advice given to new parents is mind boggling to say the least. In our day we just did what came naturally and likely what our mum’s and grandmother’s had done throughout hundreds of years of [...]
