I'm a mum of two, OCN Level 6 Certified Holistic Sleep Coach — and I'm on a mission to help exhausted parents get more sleep without ever leaving their child to cry.
I created Tired Baby Sleep because families deserve a real alternative. No rigid schedules. No cry it out. Ever.
Before all the qualifications, I was a sleep-deprived parent waking up every morning feeling like I hadn't been to bed at all — desperately Googling solutions that never seemed to work.
My son was a classic low sleep need FOMO baby who fought sleep like an olympic sport. I now know he has autism & ADHD. My daughter was a high temperament baby who suffered with severe reflux and multiple food allergies. Unless she slept on me, sleep simply did not happen!
After years of broken sleep, my mental health and my marriage were both holding on by a thread. I finally hired a sleep coach — only to be told that my daughter's broken sleep was my fault, and the only solution was to leave her to cry it out.
That experience was traumatic for us all. And it affected me so profoundly that I made a decision: I was going to become the sleep expert I had so desperately needed. Since then, I've had the privilege of working with over 2,000 families worldwide.

My 4 sleep qualifications and 2,000+ families make me a true expert in gentle, responsive sleep. I take a truly holistic approach — before we change anything, I look at the whole picture: your baby's health, temperament, environment, feeding, routine, and your family's values.
Around 10% of the babies I work with have an underlying health issue contributing to their sleep difficulties. I never skip that step.
Every plan I create is completely tailored to your child and your parenting style. A routine that works for your child's unique sleep needs. No leaving your baby to cry alone — instead I will give you responsive strategies that actually work and that feel good for everyone.
Because you deserve both. Rest and responsiveness. They are not mutually exclusive.
Whether you'd like 1:1 support or a self-paced guide, I'd love to help your family sleep better — gently.
