Hi I'm Kate
I'm a mum of 4 and I live in Melbourne.
I talk to mums every day who feel overwhelmed and lonely. In particular, feeling saturated with advice about what they should and shouldn't do but also unsure as to which parts are right!
I totally get it - there is alot of noise. The best thing to do is to find someone who 'gets' you and takes the time to understand what's going on for YOU!
As a researcher, I am all about evidence based strategies and approaches to help your baby build their sleep skills.
Learning how sleep works as well as how it changes as your baby grows and develops will empower you to make the sustainable changes that you need, but that feel right for your family.
Sleep Support Services
Phone Consultations
In this one-on-one phone consultation, we will deep dive into the parts to sleep that aren’t working for you and establish sustainable strategies to get you back on track and sleeping better all round.
Home Consultations
Sometimes when you are really sleep deprived you need more hands on support. This can be helpful to demonstrate or be with you as you are implemetjing a new strategy. Think of it like going to sleep school but in the comfort of your own home!
Newborn Support
There is alot to learn with the addition of a new baby but taking a proactive approach to sleep and settling will help you get the most out of this special time. In a personalised, 2 hour consultation, you’ll learn everything you need to know about the first 6 weeks with your baby.
Virtual Workshops
Do you want to learn more about how sleep works and develops as your baby grows? Join me for a 1-hour class and come away feeling more confident in navigating some of the common sleep issues like catnapping and how to resolve them.
Why sleep skills matter!
Learning about sleep and establishing healthy sleep habits will benefit the whole family. It gives your baby a strong foundation for their learning and development and sets them up for the busy task of growing.
Are you exhausted from spending your entire day thinking about sleep?
The parents I see aren’t looking for help because they didn’t read the right books or didn't follow the routine exactly or because their baby was just a "bad" sleeper.
Sometimes (from the depths of a blurry, sleep deprived stupor) all you need is for someone experienced to step in, see the big picture and break the challenge up into manageable steps.
This is where I can help!
My job is to take the time to understand your needs, and tailor an approach to help build your baby's sleep skills that will best serve you and your family.
