I knew the science. I taught the classes. I reassured every new mum with the same calm confidence.

Then I became one.

And even with all my training, I still found myself crying in the dark, second-guessing everything I thought I knew. The love was overwhelming—but so was the noise. The pressure. The unrealistic expectations. I realised what parents really need isn’t more advice—it’s support that’s gentle, grounded, and actually makes sense in the middle of the chaos.

Becoming a parent cracked me open in ways I didn’t expect. It taught me that love can be fierce and fragile, that sleep deprivation can shake your confidence, and that even with all the preparation in the world—you can still feel completely lost.

I saw it in the families I supported. I felt it myself.

So I went deeper.

I trained as an IBCLC, completed a Level 6 (degree-level) qualification in Holistic Sleep Coaching, and became a certified Circle of Security Parenting™ facilitator—bringing together sleep, feeding, and emotional development in one integrated, truly responsive approach.

The Gentle Sleep Collective is my life’s work.
It’s not a one-size-fits-all method. It’s a wraparound support service that sees the whole child and the whole parent—and helps you make sense of it all, without ever asking you to go against your instincts.

Because you don’t need a cookie-cutter plan.
You need support that meets your baby—and your values—right where they are.
