Supporting parents to overcome sleep challenges in a compassionate, non-judgmental setting
Working directly with me one a one-to-one basis will give you the confidence to make the necessary changes. My specialised support and guidance will help you implement the plan I will devise especially for you and motivate you to succeed. The plan is developed based specifically on your child’s age, stage, temperament, your family dynamics and your personal parenting preferences. I work remotely via zoom with families worldwide on a professional, individual basis so that I can safely and appropriately provide support for your specific family unit.
Why work with me?
I am a leading Irish Sleep Practitioner. As you make an investment in me, I am continue to make an investment in research and professional development to ensure that you receive a gold-standard service as well as much-needed sleep. I am agile and adept at discovering a child’s temperament and best-fit strategies, delivered with kindness and in-depth explanations.
Parents decide to work with me for many reasons. Here are few:
Your child’s sleep profile is a challenge
Despite your best efforts you still experience a number of challenges such as sleep resistance, frequent night waking, long wake times over-night, excessive upset, short naps, and early rising, for example. You may also have feeding, weaning, and behavioral concerns that are interrelated.
You don’t know where to start
As your child’s sleep is multi-dimensional and entirely unique, general recommendations may not always apply and conflicting information and emotions may undermine your efforts. You may begin to second guess yourself too. This can mean starting to make changes feels too overwhelming and your confidence may be lower as a result of being tired, and emotionally worn out.
Bespoke guidance and ongoing support
Many parents intellectually know what changes are required or may help, but benefit from the level of support, mentoring, guidance, insight and accountability the process of working with an experienced sleep specialist provides for. When delivered in a compassionate, non-judgmental setting; parents own intuition, and understanding has an opportunity to flourish, as we nourish your being and that of your child.
Tried sleep training before and it was unsuccessful
It is hard to stay predictable and on track when you are doing this solo; working with a professional enables you to stay on track when everything feels off track. The process helps you to understand where to start, what feels right for you and most importantly what helps to promote better sleep, appetite, mood and behavior-for all family members and to future-proof your child’s sleep experience too. It is rarely just the approach that is effective but the scaffolding I put in place in all other areas that promotes the success of the plan.
Expectations matter
We know that psychologically having a plan, a clear pathway and range of solutions presented to you, as well as being accompanied, accountable and supported helps individuals to address hard challenges, lean on the professional, exchange thoughts, feelings and emotions, and in this holding of space, become engaged, motivated and empowered to make and maintain changes that support your goals.
Co-Creational collaboration
Working WITH a family is a big part of the solution. Collaborating together, combining your understanding and aspirations, together with all the parties to the sleep equation can be factored in, and unique dynamics can be addressed; decisions can be encouraged in a supportive culture that means everyone (Mum, Dad, Co-Parent, Baby, Sibling, Childminder) feels seen, heard and belonging-and that level of safety continues to promote your sleep story and journey.
I am an industry-leader. I have been in practice for over 15 years and developed the stay-and-support approach. This means that I know more about this approach and how to correctly construct its use. Furthermore, I have been in a position to witness, resolve and learn from each family that has engaged with me, meaning that the depth of knowledge and experience, coupled with ongoing training, education, research and expertise are applied to your sleep plan and process that allows your goals to emerge in a collaborative, co-creational and effective way. What are you waiting for?? You are literally weeks away from better sleep once you send the email.
Even if you feel you have already tried everything-and I hear that all of the time! Cry it Out, stay and support, shush pat, or any other sleep program, App or book. I will be able to help you improve your child’s sleep. I will devise a comprehensive, customised, step by step plan, designed to minimize crying and maximize your ability to address the issues that exist, in line with your child’s unique temperament. I stand over my work, committed to helping you get a better night’s sleep. I work with you for a period of time, following our meeting to help, support and accompany you, to make adjustments to the plan and ultimately get your family a restful night’s sleep.
To achieve good sleep, you do not have to give up breastfeeding, room-sharing, co-sleeping, get rid of dummies for example and you definitely do not have to cry it out.
With commitment, collaboration and predictability from parents and specific guidance, motivation, mentoring and support from me; you can expect to see improvement in as little as 4-6 days and most certainly within 2 weeks. It typically takes me 3-4 weeks to complete the process. It can take the brain 3-4 weeks to learn a new pattern and I want you do give your child the best opportunity to learn and I want you to work with an industry leader to achieve this.
