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.
