When my husband and i decided to get help from lucy we were struggling with our 7 month old twins waking from 3am every night and difficult naptimes. To say we were tired is an understatement and i was very anxious about it all. I had read so much information, tried so many things and i was home on my own five days a week and really struggling…..

I wont lie, the money aspect was an issue for us and we were both reluctant to begin the training if it didnt work, we were worried it sounded too good to be true. I discussed this with lucy and she accomodated us in splitting the payments to take the pressure off.
So we began and from day one i found lucy supportive, kind and knowlegeable but also to the point and was not afraid to tell me the truth when needed. I found her approachable and accesible at all times.
Our plan was laid out to ours and the girls needs and she remained focused on our personal goals but was flexible. Initially we wanted to get rid of the dodi but then decided against it and lucy respected our decision.
We made the initial changes and withing 2 nights our girls were sleeping through (excluding 2-4 dodi runs which we were very happy with). It was a rough road and 8 weeks later we are still working hard to keep the routine in place as best we can, consistency is key!
The biggest change was from me, lucy taught me how to manage my stress and anxiety around sleep by helping me understand that sleep is not predictable, it will not happen perfectly and you just have to go with the flow and recognise what is normal and not normal for them.
If you are suffering and feeling unsure, go for it, there is nothing to lose and everything to gain! And there is nothing to be ashamed about, i had no clue how to teach my girls to sleep and am glad we asked for help.
