Holistic Sleep
Coaching

Whatever time of day or night it is. However you're feeling now. Whatever is going on.  I'm so glad you are here.

 

Let's work together to understand and prioritise your child and family's sleep without sleep training, and without feeling like there is nothing you can do to responsively support sleep.  Whether you're pregnant now or have a child up to age 6, support is available here.

THERE IS ANOTHER OPTION

'Wait it out'

Holistic Approach

This is where life-changing transformation can happen for your family to thrive.

BEFORE

AFTER

I don't want to do sleep training but I feel I’m sacrificing my mental and physical health with going with the flow

I feel so different now. I feel so clear about how to support her sleep while also protecting my own rest and happiness.

I understand this is normal infant and child sleep but I wrestle with accepting that it cannot always be fixed. Is there anything else I can be doing?

It's like a huge pressure has lifted.  I have clarity with sleep, I'm not sweating the things that aren't in anyone's control but I understand why now. Letting go of these expectations has created so much more peace.  I might still wrestle sometimes though so love the ongoing support when I struggle with my headspace.

I want to be responsive but I'm also anxious about setting up bad sleep habits.

I wish I had understood all this sooner.  I feel such relief and feel so calm about what's going on.  A huge shift for us. Thank you!

If I don’t fix sleep now, we are going to be stuck like this.

The constant worry, second-guessing and fear about this was so draining.  Amazing to have a different way with it all.

I'm anxious and stressed that I'm causing problems with my child's sleep and development.

My mind was blown with how much wrong information is out there.  Have loved being able to stop the guilt and the stress. Everything I read was making me so worried!  Yay for really understanding it all now.

Hi, I'm Annie.  If you are looking for alternatives to both sleep training (singular intensive focus on independence with sleep) and 'wait it out' go-with-the-flow approaches then I'm all about you.

​

I know how exhausting it can be to deal with all noise about sleep, the uncertainty, the stress, the constant second-guessing, feeling lost and frustrated.  It can rob so much joy in parenting and family life. I would love to change this for you.

​

But there is so much guidance that sleep is meant to happen the same way for every child and family for 'good sleep' right?  Every day I see the damage this does.

 

Rested children and families come in all shapes and sizes!

Let me help you find greater calm, clarity and confidence to understand and support sleep in ways that make sense for YOUR child and family.
