First and foremost, I’m a mum who has lived through the endless nights and the 3am tears — mine and my baby’s. I know what it’s like to be bleary-eyed, desperate, and asking the universe, “When will I ever sleep again?”
​
When my son was born, sleep quickly became not just a survival need but a deep passion. Once I discovered how to actually understand and improve baby sleep, everything changed. And from that point on, I wanted every parent I met to know it doesn’t have to be this hard.
​
I became the mum on the school run telling friends about sleep, the one sharing tips at baby showers, even stopping to reassure strangers in the park who looked like I once did — exhausted and overwhelmed.
​
Now, through Hush Little Darling, I get to do exactly that: help parents just like you find a way forward that’s realistic, supportive, and life-changing.
Because while sleepless nights are common, they don’t have to be your normal.
Society often tells us that sleepless nights are just part of being a parent — something we’re meant to accept and “get through.”
But that isn’t the whole story.​
Many parents push through the first few years believing exhaustion is simply the norm.
​
The truth? It doesn’t have to be this way.​
With the right tools, guidance, and support, your family can find a rhythm that works — one where everyone is actually resting.
​You don’t need to navigate this alone.
I’m here to give you a clear plan, realistic strategies, and the reassurance that change is possible.​
Please don’t struggle on in silence — there’s a way forward, and I’m here to help you find it.

👋 Hi, I’m Gemma — Founder of Hush Little Darling and a certified Sleep Coach with one clear mission: helping families reclaim the rest they deserve.
​
Before having my son, I thought broken nights were just part of parenting. But once he arrived, I learned the brutal reality of sleep deprivation — and trust me, it was nothing like the carefree all-nighters of my twenties.
​
One night at 4am, after yet another tear-filled battle, I hit a breaking point. I couldn’t do another night like that. So I started reading everything I could about baby sleep. That’s when I discovered sleep training — and it was my lightbulb moment.
​
With the right strategies, things changed. Within two weeks, my little boy was sleeping soundly. For the first time, I felt like myself again. I was calmer, more patient, and able to enjoy motherhood — and he was happier and more settled too.
​
Friends began asking me how I did it, and I realised this was more than just a win for my own family. This was my calling. I retrained, certified, and built Hush Little Darling to help other parents step out of survival mode.
​
Because here’s the truth: sleepless nights are common, but they don’t have to be your forever. I’ve been where you are — exhausted, overwhelmed, and desperate for change. And I’m here to help you find the way forward.
