You might be wondering why I chose to specialise in sleep for toddlers and early years (1–6 years). My journey began as a primary school teacher and deputy head, working closely across the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). In that time, I saw firsthand how crucial sleep is for young children’s development, learning, and wellbeing—and how challenging it can be for parents.
Drawing on years of classroom experience, I understand the unique needs of toddlers and EYFS children. I know how sleep (or the lack of it) affects their behaviour, learning, and emotional resilience. My teaching background gives me a practical, structured approach to problem-solving, and I combine this with evidence-based sleep strategies tailored for each child and family.
Specialising in this age group allows me to make a real difference, helping children get the restorative sleep they need and supporting parents to feel confident, calm, and in control.
I’ve also undertaken extensive training to become an autism and anxiety sleep specialist, working with children aged 2–12, with a particular focus on separation anxiety in young children.
This builds on my background and passion for supporting children with additional needs. I hold the National Award for Special Educational Needs in the UK, am a qualified SENCo, and have over 12 years of experience in leadership roles within Inclusion, supporting hundreds of families.
Combining my professional experience with specialist sleep coaching means I can provide tailored, expert, gentle strategies that meet the unique needs of children with additional challenges, helping families achieve calm, restorative sleep while respecting every child’s individual needs.
I’m proud mummy to my cheeky little man, Wills. My journey into infant sleep began with him. After a traumatic birth, I found myself utterly exhausted, sleep-deprived, and overwhelmed—living the reality of endless nights, feeling drained and at my wits’ end. I also know the frustration of scrolling through Google at 2 a.m., desperately searching for that “magic fix” that simply doesn’t exist.
That experience sparked my obsession with infant sleep. I quickly realised that there is no one-size-fits-all solution—sleep is a science, and every child has unique needs. Driven by this understanding, I trained and certified as an infant sleep coach, combining expertise with real-life experience. I then undertook extensive training to become a certified Autism and Anxiety Sleep Specialist for children aged 2-12 also.
My personal journey inspires me to help other parents navigate the challenges of sleep in a way that is gentle, nurturing, and tailored to their child—because no two little ones are the same, and their sleep solutions shouldn’t be either.
If you’re unsure whether I’m the right sleep coach for your family—or if you’d like to chat about your child’s sleep and learn more about my 1:1 support packages—I’d love to hear from you.
