What ages do you cover?

I cover all ages for sleep, behaviour and potty training. If you are struggling with behavioural issues or sleep disorders that may need other professional attention, I will help refer you to the correct people. Potty training I have done for all ages and also offer help for those interested in elimination communication which can be started right from birth.

What is elimination communication?

Elimination communication (EC) is a method of potty training that involves us learning our baby’s cues and signals to inform us that they need to urinate or defecate. It is about helping babies to learn where they should eliminate in an appropriate place. It is very effective and makes the transition from nappies to no nappies struggle-free. I personally had my son potty trained by 5 months old.

When is the best time to start sleep training?

I only start using sleep training techniques once we have looked at the entire picture and have made all other necessary adjustments first. It is a last resort because often making a few tweaks to certain aspects of your day and feeding can really improve sleep. You can come to me any time you need help, whether it be from the newborn stage, right up to 8,9,10 years old even. I wouldn’t personally start with sleep training techniques, if they are needed, until 4 months old. If you need help before this point, there are a lot of things I can help you with to improve your sleep lengths, but you will most likely still need some feeds in the night. I will help you assess which package would be right for you in a discovery call.

What behaviour issues do you cover?

I have different techniques that I use for a magnitude of different issues such as biting, kicking, slapping, spitting, screaming, throwing food or even uncontrollable tantrums that last hours. Some of the behaviour issues can have to do with socialising at school, getting really anxious going to school, struggling to get children off their PlayStations or how to stop them watching too much TV. I have also helped parents with issues such as - how to get children to sit down at the table and have a meal without needing an iPad for distraction in order to be calm in public. There are many different scenarios. I suggest booking a discovery call to chat about what the issues may be, and I can let you know if it is something I can help with. I will be very honest if it isn’t an issue I feel I can improve for you.

What qualifications do you have?

I am a certified sleep consultant in the highest band (band 6). I studied psychology to level 3. I worked for 15 years in the childcare industry as a nanny for many different families with different age ranges and numbers of children, from newborns to teenagers and worked for families with 1, 2, 3 and 4 children. Over the past 15 years, I have completed various sleep training courses with leading consultants and successfully implemented a wide range of strategies. I ran my own business for two years, offering sensory art classes for mums and babies as well as toddlers and neurodivergent children to provide tailored support and enrichment.
