What My Clients Say
‘I highly recommend Mel’s services. The advice and personalised plan given to us has supported me to understand my child’s sleep needs and make tweaks which have had a huge impact on her ability to sleep much longer chunks - often with just 1-2 wakes at night now, when previously she had been waking every 1.5 hours. I also feel the days are more predictable in terms of timings of naps, whilst also being flexible. I felt Mel took a holistic, warm and caring approach, which educated me about sleep science whilst also empowering me to continue to be responsive to Fern’s needs and use my own intuition.’
Katie
‘I contacted Mel for support with my little ones sleep as at almost a year, we hadn't had a longer stretch than 2 hours overnight and I was struggling with her hourly wake ups. Mel was so lovely and helpful. Her preparations were really in depth, sending me over a questionnaire and 5 day diary. Once I had completed them, she very quickly set up a consultation to discuss. Her knowledge was clear and I felt completely heard and understood. She went through my goals one by one and how we can achieve them, including me in the decisions and conversations. The first night putting the changes Mel suggested in place, she slept 9-2! I've seen a really great improvement and I am looking forward to building on the support Mel has given me.’
Jacey
‘Mel has been a huge support in the improvement of my 7 month olds sleep. He was waking after 40 minutes and then very frequently through the night. With Mel's help he now sleeps longer chunks and is much easier to settle if he does wake and all done with no crying, just using the science of sleep needs.
Mel is knowledgeable and has given me the confidence going forward in how I can help my baby's sleep as he changes with age. Her support, responsiveness and communication were all excellent throughout the process and I would recommend her to anyone struggling with their baby's sleep but not wanting to go down the sleep training method.’
Sarah
‘We sought Mel’s help as our current co-sleeping arrangement was causing discomfort and disturbance throughout the night. Mel helped us to come up with a plan to reach our family’s sleep goals. She is understanding as well as extremely knowledgeable. I would absolutely recommend Mel’s services if you are looking to hire a sleep consultant.’
Rachel
'Mel has been so kind and helpful when it comes to my little one’s sleep. Her advice has been great, and she’s been very understanding and sympathetic. She’s also incredibly quick to respond to messages, which has made such a difference. You can really tell how passionate she is about baby sleep too. I would highly recommend seeking advice from Mel if you’re in need of some guidance and support xx'
