MY STORY

Hi! I’m Steph — mum of two, holistic sleep coach (OCN Level 6), and passionate advocate for gentle, responsive sleep support. I’m so glad you’re here.

​

My journey into this work began when my eldest, my daughter, was around six months old. From early on, I could tell she was a highly sensitive child — big emotions, heightened awareness, and a fierce need for connection. The more I tried to follow the mainstream sleep advice out there, the more it clashed with what I knew about her temperament. I realised that no cookie-cutter approach would work; I had to really decode her unique sleep needs and find ways to support her that respected both her sensitivity and our attachment.

​

I did a lot of reading — books, studies, research papers, blog posts, and of course, many late-night Instagram scrolls. Eventually, I discovered the Holistic Sleep Coaching Programme, an in-depth, evidence-based course that deeply resonated with my parenting values. Through more than 60 hours of study (plus a mountain of additional reading), I trained to become a certified holistic sleep coach, ready to help families like yours. 

 

But my learning didn’t stop there. When my son was born with complex medical needs, I was thrown into a whole new world of parenting challenges — navigating hospital stays, medical equipment, a boatload of anxiety, and sleep struggles layered with extra care needs. This experience shaped me even further, deepening my empathy and understanding for parents living through intense, emotionally demanding seasons.

​

My mission is simple:
✨ To help you feel confident in your parenting choices
✨ To offer practical, gentle sleep strategies that fit your child’s unique temperament and your family’s lifestyle
✨ To support you without judgment, guilt, or pressure​​

​

What I promise you:

1.  I will never ask you to leave your baby or child to cry alone for any length of time.

2. I will take a holistic view of your family’s sleep, respecting your lifestyle, goals, and parenting approach.

3. I will never ask you to stop doing something you love (unless it’s unsafe!).

4. I will stay in my lane — if something is outside my expertise, I’ll connect you with the right support.

5. I will never hand you a one-size-fits-all schedule or tell you how to parent your child.

6. I will always honour that you are the expert on your child.

7. I will do my absolute best to help you feel confident, informed, and supported as you guide your little one toward better sleep.
