What I Offer

Practical advice

Effective strategies based in over 20 years of professional experience, research and learning, as well as my own experience as a parent.

A listening ear

Sometimes this alone can work wonders. Talking things through with someone who isn’t a family member or friend can be hugely helpful.

Moral support

I can help you make a plan, provide support along the way, and help you work through any challenges that arise.

help them feel loved

How I Work

My starting point is always to listen to the hopes and values you have for your family life, your parenting & your child. I advocate for meeting children’s needs to help them feel loved, safe, supported and respected so they can develop resilience, self worth and inner happiness.

My approach is based in following what is right for your child, and the whole family. I don’t believe in trying to sell you quick fix solutions that might work short term, but can end up actually causing more problems down the line.

I will always be honest with you & will give you accurate information based in child development to help you make the right decisions for your child and family.

Please note - as a trained holistic sleep coach and emotion and behaviour specialist, I work gently and responsively. I don’t advocate cry it out, extinction or sleep training approaches, and my approach is rooted in responsive parenting and teaching.
