STOP THE ‘SHOULD’S + THE OVERTHINKING

Discover your little one’s unique rhythm & learn how you can support them to get more sleep.

Attachment-focused baby + toddler sleep support for the sleep deprived parents who know they do not want to sleep train

HEY, I’M KATIE

The mum friend who you can trust to hear you & hold you through the toughest of sleepless spells. Who knows first hand how torturous the sleep deprivation feels — and can share real, honest, evidence based advice to help you get through it.

Who is here to help you get more sleep — whilst supporting you to continue responding to your little one’s needs.

And who will never, ever tell you that you need to leave your little one to cry on their own.

My little boy never loved to sleep… I spent an unimaginable number of hours searching for answers — desperately trying to figure out WHY he was waking every 20 minutes (like… literal torture!?)

But I couldn’t seem to find any real answers — only people telling me to leave him to cry so he could figure things out for himself. And I just knew in my bones that no matter how bad things were, this just wasn’t an option for me.

So when I started to come out of the other side of the dark, sleep-deprived tunnel, I knew I just HAD to deepen & solidify the knowledge I’d gained by training to help others in this situation. So here I am…!

YOU DON’T WANT TO LET THEM CRY-IT-OUT - BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO JUST WAIT-IT-OUT

Get some Support

MY HOPE FOR YOU IS…

Less < feeling like you’re getting it all wrong, more > trust and enjoyment.

Unfortunately as a new parent it’s impossible not to be bombarded by ‘advice’ that makes you feel like you’re failing at being a parent. That your brand new little person needs to be ‘taught’ how to sleep (by being left to cry?! wtf?) That you need to have routines and schedules and that you must create NO BAD HABITS. As if being in charge of a tiny human isn’t stressful enough?!

My mental health was at an all time low in the 18 months after becoming a mum. And a huge contributor to that anxiety was my sons sleep (or lack of..!) And this is why I feel so incredibly passionate about spreading the realities of infant sleep. Helping new + expectant parents to understand what is normal, so they can relax into and enjoy their journey (with a bit less of the frantic, anxiety induced Googling) — AND at the same time, get to the root of any issues that may be causing frequent wakes or unsettledness.

I hope to empower you to continue supporting your little one in a way that feels right to you, whilst making sure you’re also feeling looked after.

Now I’m not going to sit here and tell you that those sleepless nights aren’t hard as F. (I know — existing with that level of sleep deprivation is like nothing else…!) BUT feeling like you're getting it all wrong and somehow ‘failing’ your baby is a sure fire way to make it feel a whole lot more shitty.

So —- let’s find that middle ground. Let’s look at your unique situation and figure out together how to make improvements — without sleep training.

TESTIMONIALS

Parents like you are saying…

LIZ, MUM TO 6 MONTH OLD IN LONDON.

“Through Katie’s support both me and my baby are sleeping better and mine and my husband’s evenings feel far less stressful! Katie helped me to push bedtime with my co-sleeping baby back so evenings are less time-pressured, drop a daytime nap, have her sleep in longer, and also let go of so many ideas around what I ‘should’ be doing. When you’re in the thick of the sleep-deprived haze, having an expert supporting you is invaluable!! Katie is full is wisdom and has a lot of personal experience. She’s so warm and caring and works with you to find the best solutions for your family.”

SUS, MUM TO 2 YEAR OLD IN BATH

“Katie has a very gentle, nurturing approach. She eased my worries and supporting me to trust my gut, and not to listen to the ‘noise’. We followed her tips and guidance and very quickly were all getting much more sleep, without any need for cry it out / stressful bedtime situations.
Katie was so reassuring too, which as an anxious mother was well received. Katie has first hand experience and knowledge and is truly wonderful.”

ELEANOR, MUM TO 8 MONTH OLD IN BRISTOL

“Katie is such a breath of fresh air within the infant-sleep world - she deeply respects the biological need for nurture within the mother-baby dyad. Her approach is genuinely ‘holistic ’ - it’s not simply used as a buzzword. I felt she really assessed my family as a unique situation, and offered tailored, thoughtful, and very useful advice, rather than dishing out cookie cutter recommendations. I would definitely feel comfortable referring friends and family to her.”

Questions?

  • I will never suggest or recommend that you leave your baby or toddler to cry. I fully advocate for parents supporting their children to sleep in whatever way and for however long they desire to do so.

  • Yes! I believe that most (if not all!) parents will end up sleeping with their baby at some point, whether intentionally or not. So I am a big believer in the value of learning how to safely co-sleep.

  • In simple terms, Somatic coaching uses the body's natural wisdom instead of focusing on thoughts from the mind. It helps you become more aware of your physical feelings and emotions, making it easier to handle stress and reactions to different situations.

  • I trained to become a Certified Holistic Infant Sleep Coach in 2024 with the amazing Fox and the Moon Academy.

    I trained to become a Somatic Coach with The Somatic School in 2021.

    I am also an NLP practitioner, Reiki Practitioner.

    And the biggest qualification of all is the past 2 years of raising my little boy!
