Little Sleep Coach

We had the best experience working with Deb and can't recommend her highly enough. Our 10 month old was waking throughout the night and needing to be rocked to sleep, she now sleeps through the night, has predicable day naps and puts herself happily to sleep. Deb makes you feel supported the whole way through. Having the tools and plan to work with made making changes really simple, straight forward and not daunting at all. If you have any apprehension about the process or what is involved (just like I did) just book in a phone chat with Deb and you will quickly find out what I did, that she is super kind and caring, she has the health and wellbeing of the baby (and you) at front of mind and that she really means it when she says you'll be getting some sleep in no time! I went from being beyond sleep deprived at the end of my tether, to sleeping all night long literally within a few days. Just book her in you won't regret it for a second. Thanks Deb you have changed my life!:)

Working with Deb has been life-changing for us. We were running on empty with our 4 month old who wouldn't nap during the day other than being rocked in the pram, would scream every time he saw his cot, and it was taking more than an hour every night to rock and soothe him to sleep. We needed to make some changes for all of our happiness and were recommended to reach out to Deb by three different people. With just a few tweaks and improved routines, on the first night he was asleep within 20 minutes and things have only continued to improve from there. Within a few weeks we have a very happy baby who easily settles himself off to sleep for naps and bedtime, and sleeps all through the night. And of course we have also become much happier parents who are on the same page, with more downtime during the day and our evenings back once our son has gone to bed. We wouldn't have got this far without Deb's daily support and knowledge. I can't stress enough how life-changing this has been for us, thank you so much Deb!

Deb is fantastic!
Our 4 month old daughter wasn't able to sleep day or night without being held, rocked or fed to sleep and it was taking such a toll on my husband and I.
By following the consistent, approach and having great support from Deb, our girl now self settles, happily sleeps in her cot for 3 naps a day and only wakes once to feed overnight - something I never imagined would happen!
Deb genuinely cares and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

My LO had the feeding tube for 8 weeks due to aversion. It was a very difficult stage for us. My daughter was seen by different specialists and all they could think of was reflux as the main cause of her aversion. She was getting worse. My LO was always upset, vomiting, not sleeping well. My anxiety level was high. I wanted the tube out! I was desperate to find answers. Then I found Deb. In less than two weeks the feeding tube was removed. My daughter is now feeding a lot better, sleeping better. We got our lives back. Deb is amazing. She is professional, thorough and well organized. She went through every single step safely. I am so glad we reached this stage. We are now enjoying our precious one and that is how it should be.
To all the parents out there who are going through the same stage, you don't have to suffer in silence. Have faith and contact Deb ;)

All I can say is - DO IT, you won't regret it. Our 5 month old was up 5-6 times a night and only cat napping for 20 mins at a time during the day. To say we were exhausted and running on empty was an understatement. It really was affecting our families day to day living. Deb was so lovely and approachable right from the start. We noticed improvements from the first night and it just kept getting better. We now have a great sleeper! I was nervous initially, as I'm not a routine person and was worried how it was going to work for our family, but it does! I love our routine now and it works so well for our man. We are all so much happier and getting much more sleep. It's like magic. We cannot thank Deb enough.

Prior to working with Deb we had struggled with sleep with our little boy. He had some gastro issues as a newborn which meant he didn't like being on his back which resulted in him only ever sleeping on someone. In addition, I had unknowingly created some bad habits by feeding him to self. By 4.5 months he was only napping 30-mins at a time and was waking every 1hr through the night needing to be feed back to sleep. It had gotten so bad, I would dread the times he was awake, because all I could think about was the upcoming battle I was going to have trying to get him to sleep again. When we first contacted Deb, we had a baby that couldn't self settle, couldn't fall asleep independently, and couldn't sleep for longer than 1 sleep cycle. I was skeptical when we first reached out to Deb for help - I thought we had a baby that didn't like to sleep and that sleep deprivation was just part and parcel of parenthood. But I was so wrong! Within a week of working with Deb we saw results. We all of a sudden had a baby that could fall asleep all on their own, put themselves back to sleep if they woke, was able to self soothe and was able to sleep for HOURS at a time. Working with Deb was the best thing we could have done. Her endless support and guidance was invaluable. She was on call whenever we needed her. We are all so much happier now having schedule that works for us and baby. It was a game changer for our family working with Deb. We now have a thriving happy sleeping content little baby and a much happier less stressed and anxious mother and a father who is happy his wife and baby are finally getting the quality sleep they desperately needed!

Deb is SO amazing.
With only a couple of tweaks and exactly 7 minutes of a "oh I hope we are doing the right thing" one bedtime, our 17 month old has gone from waking 2-5 times a night (with regular cot parties for upwards of 2 hours in the middle of the night) to sleeping through 5 or 6 night of every week. A welcome relief for one very sleep deprived household.
I really loved her style and approach, and the fact that we weren't "told" what to do in any condescending way. I felt we were listened to, respected, and that we were working together to create more sleep!

I can't recommend Deb more highly!

Deb was very approachable and listened to what our goals were. She’s obviously got quite a bit of experience and was easy to contact to have a quick chat/message about any queries we had during our two weeks with her. Would highly recommend her!

Deb is like a magical fairy that made my child love sleeping. She worked with me to resolve all my issues (not napping, waking at night, only sleeping while I held and transferred him) and also managed to make him eat more solid food and be a better, happier baby in general.

Highly, highly recommended. Deb gave me my life, and my mental health back.

Hands down the best decision we’ve made as parents to date!
We’ve just spent the past two weeks working with Deb, sleep training our 5 month old son.
He has gone from co-sleeping with mum, waking 6-10 times a night and feeding constantly.to sleeping in his own room for 11 hours a night, waking only once for a feed.
Day naps were always a struggle and either on us/ car seat/ pram, and now he happily self settles to sleep within minutes and sleeps soundly in his bed (if we want him there) three times a day.
We honestly didn’t think this was possible! But Deb is an absolute pro - she has taught us so much and the whole experience has been fascinating.
Thanks so much Deb - we can’t recommend your services enough!

I felt very nervous about approaching a sleep consultant for help with our sons sleep, but it had gotten to the point I know we needed some support.
Right from the start Deb was warm and friendly.
I was impressed by the thoroughness of the personal plan she provided us, and it was a relief to have strategies in place for any possible trouble shooting required.
Within 1 day of working with Deb we saw huge improvements in our sons sleeping.
And it wasn’t an upsetting or cruel process for our baby (or us), in fact I believe he is happier he is now provided with the right sleep environment to happily drift to sleep and get a better quality of sleep.
Deb was 100% on hand to offer guidance or support through our 2 week time together.
I know she genuinely cared about how our son was progressing and she celebrated the vast improvements.
Thank you so much Deb for your help to us, it sounds dramatic but the truth is it has been life changing for us all.
If you are unsure or afraid but feel you need some support I encourage you to just have a chat, Deb is a true professional and respectful.

Hi all you amazing mum's out there, I am writing this to say what a wonderful experience my whole family had and the amazing results we achieved with the help of Deb at the little sleep coach, my 6 month old daughter was only having 10 minute power naps during the day and it was starting to have a huge effect on both her and myself mentally and physically.
I discovered the little sleep coach through a friend of mind who has used her service. Getting Deb to help us iron out our wee girls sleep habits and even feeding habits was the best thing we ever bit, we have a different baby who is much happier, (so is mum), she is now after working with Deb achieving all our goals we set out to, eating and drinking well, having great day times nap for long period of time, resettling herself when she wakes and just on overall huge improvement.
I can honestly recommend Deb and her amazing service she provides at the little sleep coach to all you mum's out there that need just that bit of extra help.

Working with Deb has been a life changer.

From the day my daughter came into the world she was suffering from acid reflux and wouldn't sleep on her back in her bassinet. My doctor kept saying she'd grow out of it, so it took 5 months to get any medication to alleviate her symptoms. This meant my daughter only slept on her stomach on my chest in an inclined position, which developed a bad sleeping habit (and me a bad back!), along with hourly feeding to soothe her reflux. She'd wake every 30-45 mins at night and wasn't napping during the day. All this equalled one very overtired and grumpy baby!

Once we finally got my daughter on medication, we were then dealing with four major issues: sleeping on me (not in her own bed), sleeping upright, hourly feedings and no sleep schedule to speak of.

I was sceptical that Deb could solve all of this in a single session, but I was blown away. Deb spent the evening getting to know us all and our challenges. She coached us through a new age-appropriate routine that would help my daughter get the sleep her little body and brain needed, and get her on a better feeding schedule. Deb successfully got my daughter off to sleep that night and gave us strategies to do the same ourselves.

It's been two weeks now since Deb first visited us and we are like new people! My daughter is sleeping 12 hours at night and only wakes up once for a feed; she is self settling; she is napping three times during the day: and she is such a different baby - happy, chatty, playful and curious.

I am now sleeping 8-9 hours each night, have time to spend with my husband in the evening, and have time to do things around the house (or simply sit, have a cup of tea or watch Netflix!) during the day when she's napping.

I would have no hesitation whatsoever recommending Deb to anyone whose babies or child/ren need help sleeping. I can't thank Deb enough for her help, we have our lives back and can finally enjoy spending time with our daughter: D

Deb is such a lovely person to work with! She listens and understands your needs and even wants, she helped my son and I work on a routine that fits us both and now we get to sleep through the night in our own beds definitely recommend even just for her advice, you can have as much or as little help as you need!

My wife and I had been having a really hard time getting our daughter Poppy to sleep in her cot. If we did manage to get her to sleep, she would routinely wake up after each 30 minute sleep cycle and would not re-settle. This meant that we were woken constantly throughout the night, sometimes dealing with crying for an hour or more between sleeps, and only being able to get her to nap for a maximum of 30 minutes during the day (if we were lucky). We had tried a bunch of the usual methods recommended to us by friends, family and the internet, and given them a good geniune effort, but nothing seemed to work.

I was personally quite pessimistic about paying for a sleep consultant due to the fact that we had tried so many things and it seemed like there would be no miracle fix, but I can now humbly acknowledge how wrong I was.

After the initial consultation process, Deb provided us with a program that made a few easy tweaks to our daily routine. Within the first couple of days we started to notice a big improvement, and by the end of the first week Poppy was sleeping in her bed through the night! It's now been about a month since we started working with Deb, and Poppy now reliably goes to sleep at 7pm each night and sleeps through to 7am with very little fuss.

I honestly can't explain how much the change has improved our quality of life and am really thankful for Deb and the success that we've had working with her. If only we had done it sooner!

Thanks so much, Deb! You're a life safer!

I contacted Deb after about 4-5 months of being up almost every hour overnight wanting to try and help my wee man consolidate his night sleep. She was amazingly quick to respond, so supportive and understanding of our individual needs. I never felt uncomfortable doing anything she suggested and it's worked so well. We now have a happy wee man who sleeps through the night and deals with sickness etc.like a champ now with the tools we have in place. Would highly recommend!

I had given up hope of my baby ever sleeping without us both in tears. But somehow Deb did it. Best decision ever!

Deb is amazing! Our daughter's sleep was really impacting our whole family's life and day to day functioning; which is why we reached out to Deb. She was able to give us a consult immediately and instantly made us feel like we could do this! Her ongoing support was invaluable and we loved knowing that she was there when we needed it. She is incredibly personable and will be your BEST cheerleader. Not to mention that within 2 nights our baby was sleeping through the night! Deb is truly professional and the knowledge that she has is accurate and reliable. Our daughter, and we, are feeing so much better! Thanks Deb!

We didn’t think we could get our boy to sleep. But with Deb’s guidance and support we got there! Now he is much happier for the routine and extra sleep as are we!

Best decision to reach out and get help!
I became desperate when my little one wasn’t sleeping well. Anxiety started to set in and I did not know what I could do to help my girl.

Deb was amazing! Super friendly and approachable. She gave me a guide line in what I should be aiming for and great settling techniques. This is what I needed and it gave me some confidence going forward. It was a huge benefit having her come to the house and following up with us for a week. I would definitely recommend Deb!
