Does this sound familiar?
Sleep challenges can leave even the most confident parents feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. If these experiences feel familiar, you're not alone, and there is a gentle, evidence-based way forward.
✓ Your baby wakes every 1-2 hours overnight.
✓ Bedtime has become a nightly battle.
✓ Naps are short, unpredictable, or only happen on you.
✓ You've tried everything, and nothing seems to stick.
✓ You're worried that sleep training means leaving your child to cry.
✓ Your toddler will only fall asleep with you beside them.
If you're nodding along, I'd love to help.
The science behind a gentle approach.
Helping you understand your child's sleep so you can move forward with confidence.
Hi, I'm Kate.
I'm a PhD-qualified sleep scientist and former researcher at Stanford Research Institute and Harvard Medical School. But perhaps most importantly, I'm a mum of four.
I know how overwhelming it can feel when sleep isn't going well. You're exhausted, you've read countless articles, everyone seems to have an opinion, and you're left wondering which advice you should actually trust.
That's where I come in.
I combine the latest sleep science with practical, compassionate support to help families understand why sleep isn't working and what to do next. Every child is different, so instead of following a one-size-fits-all program, we'll create a personalised plan that works for your child, your family, and your parenting style.
Many of the families I work with tell me they felt caught between two extremes: leaving their child to cry or simply hoping they would grow out of it. Neither option felt right.
The good news is, you don't have to choose between being responsive to your child and helping them sleep well.
My goal isn't just to help your child sleep better. It's to help you feel confident, supported, and equipped with a plan that feels right for your family.
I'd love to help you get there.

Families who have been where you are
Still have questions?
-
No. My approach is responsive, evidence-based and tailored to your family's parenting style and goals. We'll work together to find strategies you feel comfortable implementing, with a focus on helping your child develop sustainable sleep skills while preserving a secure parent-child relationship.
-
From newborns through to preschool-aged children.
-
Every child and every family is different. Some parents notice improvements within a few days, while others take longer, depending on their child's age, temperament and the challenges we're working through. My focus is on creating lasting change rather than quick fixes.
-
Every child is unique, and some need a more individualised approach. Whether your child was born prematurely, has a medical condition, developmental difference or additional support needs, I'll take the time to understand their unique circumstances and tailor my recommendations accordingly. Where appropriate, I'm also happy to work alongside your healthcare team to ensure your sleep plan is safe, realistic and aligned with your child's care.
-
You'll leave with a clear, personalised plan and practical strategies you can confidently put into practice. Depending on the consultation you choose, you'll also have access to follow-up support so you can ask questions, troubleshoot challenges and adjust the plan as your child responds. My goal isn't just to help your child sleep better, but to make sure you feel supported and confident every step of the way.
-
I offer virtual consultations for families across Australia and internationally, as well as in-home consultations throughout Melbourne. If you're not sure which option is the best fit, don't worry. I'll help you choose the level of support that best suits your child, your goals and your family's needs.
Better sleep starts with understanding why.
Together, we'll uncover what's keeping your child awake and create a personalised plan you can feel confident implementing.
