Testimonials for Jo

"Your in-cot bum-wiggle tip has worked really well for us. Max is now falling asleep in the cot of an evening … and we’ve eliminated the 5am scream-a-thon - he can now be coaxed back to sleep with rhythmic in-cot movement. On Thursday night he even slept through the entire night for the first time!! Sincere thanks for your help". - Courtenay

"Thanks to Karina, the rest of the newborn phase with my daughter flew by. As it's my second child, you'd think you would know what to do but each child is different. Karina was a lending ear but also supportive in reassuring me that I was doing everything right for my baby. Finding her support was a blessing." - Laura

"Karina was lovely and took the time to understand our sleep situation, and with this information provided some simple steps for our family to implement." - Alice

Testimonial for Chris

"Chris was so knowledgeable, kind and helped us so much to work through a tricky sleep period with our toddler while I was tired and pregnant. No question was too silly and no situation too tough. We say that she is like our guardian angel and we wish we had her for our first!"  - Katie

"I recently ( about 3-4 weeks ago) had a session with Chris around by little one's early waking habits ( 4.30am). We worked through a few suggestions and of course, as always, Chris came up with the goods. We have made his room a lot darker by closing all doors and and incentive to not get out of bed! I am now pleased that he is sleeping well through the night without getting out of his bed and now waking around the 6.00/6.30am mark. HOORAY and thank you Chris! - Fiona

Testimonials for Hannah

Hannah was so amazing in her ability to listen to our situation, gain an understanding of our parenting style and respond in a way that was detailed and supportive of both - Keli

Wow! Never did I imagine our little Oscar to sleep through the night. After only 2 days of advice from Hannah, he did. By the end of the program I was kicking myself we didn’t do this sooner!- Katie

Surprisingly, one of the first things that Hannah asked me before we began was about MY parenting style, what I was comfortable with and what my baby's temperament was like. I felt like our sleep plan was completely tailored to our needs as opposed to a 'one size fits all' approach and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn't have to leave her to cry it out. - Lara

Hannah was fantastic. In a matter of days she changed our lives for the better. My husband and I are now confident with bedtime and my almost 6 month old son has never been happier - Kate

Testimonials for Monica

"I'm thrilled to say that my little man is doing well and in just 2 weeks we are nappy-free when awake and I'm so proud of my little man. You gave me the confidence to let him go nappy-free and trust that he was ready even though I wasn't.” – Parent

“Thank you for your information; I found it very helpful and informative. Our girls are 2 years and 8 months and whilst I was waiting until they were older (interesting to hear your information on that!) the girls have started doing wees on the toilet (using a family seat) every night before and after their bath. It was reassuring to hear we are on track ! I feel empowered and better equipped now from your session for the next stages, so thank you.” - Vanessa, mother of 2.5-year-old twin girls
