Service Description

Most families I work with are sleeping through within two to three weeks. Here is why yours is not yet. Your little one wakes at 4:40am. Your alarm goes at six. So you feed them back to sleep, or rock them, or bring them in with you, because it is quickest and you have a meeting at nine. Or it is 9.30pm, your toddler is out of bed for the fifth time and you are on their floor again, because it is the only way anyone sleeps. I would do the same. The trouble is it is why they keep waking. Sleep is a journey. Point A is wide awake, point B is fast asleep. Whatever your little one does to get from A to B is their journey into sleep. So when they surface between sleep cycles, they go looking for it again. If it was you, they need you. So they shout for you. Which is why it gets harder the longer it goes on. Six weeks of rocking is one job. A year of it is a much bigger one. You cannot hold a thought in the nine o'clock meeting. You and your partner take it in turns and keep score, in separate rooms. And nobody to hand it to, because you are the only one they settle for. IN THREE WEEKS You wake before they do, to a quiet house and a hot coffee. Bath, book, bed, door shut, and you are downstairs before the monitor settles. It is quarter past seven and the evening is yours. And months later, you notice you have stopped thinking about sleep at all. WHERE I COME IN More reading is not your problem. Knowing it at eleven in the morning and doing it at two in the morning are not the same thing, and a year of one route into sleep does not undo itself in half an hour. That is what I am for. The bit at 2am on night four when you wonder if you have made it worse. You message me and I tell you what to do next. Two to three weeks, every day, every message straight to me. WHAT THIS CALL IS Half an hour on the phone to work out what is going on, talk through what you are up against, and build a clear way forward together through one of the ways I work. You take me through your nights, days and naps, and what you have tried. Then I tell you exactly what working together would look like. You will know where you stand, and I will not push you to decide there and then. No camera. You fill in a questionnaire when you book and I read it beforehand, so before we even speak I will know your little one's sleep picture. Not for you if you want free sleep advice, or your baby is under three months. Call is up to 30 min max.
