Respectful + attachment-focused sleep support, for the parents who know they do not want to leave their child to cry.
I am here to help you better understand your child, trust your instincts + make truly gentle, respectful changes that help you all get some more sleep.
What I do
My work blends Holistic Infant Sleep Consultancy, Somatic Coaching + my lived experience of raising my very unsettled, wakeful son!
Working together, we will explore all elements that may be impacting on your child’s sleep - from the practical pieces of the puzzle, such as sleep timings + sleep hygiene, to physical health, emotional wellbeing and environmental factors, nutritional needs - to family dynamics and developmental stages.
By combining evidence-based practices with sleep support unique to your situation + goals, we will work to implement gentle, attachment focused tweaks + techniques to help you all feel more rested. Plus, I will share tools + recommendations that you can implement to support your nervous system throughout the journey. Because I believe it is hugely important that we don’t just look at your child’s sleep challenges in isolation - but also at your experience as parent + your nervous system regulation.

A supportive + respectful approach to infant sleep.
Hi I’m Katie! Toddler mum, Holistic Infant Sleep Consultant & Somatic Coach.
I am here to help you gain a deeper understanding of your unique situation + sleep challenges, and to find a path where you can support your baby or child in a way that feels right to you, whilst also looking after your own nervous system.
Working closely with you, we will gain a clearer understanding of why your baby or toddler is unsettled or wakeful, rather than just focusing on how to get them to go back to sleep.
Following completion of a thorough intake form, we will assess your child’s current sleep patterns to see if any timing changes could be made to improve overall sleep. We will also look into other areas that may be impacting their sleep or settledness - from feeding difficulties + body tension to allergies or intolerances.
I am here to support you in seeking help from the right health professionals to explore any hunches we have, as well as helping you to trust your instincts and support your child in the way you desire to.
And alongside all of this, I am also here to help you discover new ways to look after yourself, offering new perspectives, tools + techniques to support your nervous system regulation through the challenging periods.
PS. Your child does not need to be taught how to sleep…
As a mum to a very wakeful, unsettled baby, I spent every waking moment (yep, especially those ones in the middle of the night) desperately searching for something that would make my child sleep.
And at the same time, I knew I did not want to sleep train him, no matter how hard things were. Still, I questioned my instincts constantly. I never fully allowed myself to enjoy the snuggly contact naps and nights spent holding his little body next to mine in bed. I felt as though I was doing something wrong every time his eyelids fluttered shut + breathing slowed whilst breastfeeding. I spent hours trying to make him go to sleep in his cot so I could reclaim some time for myself… when infact all I was doing was driving myself crazy and missing out on precious moments I could have been enjoying with him. Each time a friends baby started sleeping through, my heart sank. But I kept holding onto the belief that our time would come.
I wish I’d known in those early days / weeks / months that there were other things I could be doing to support him. That it was safe for me to trust my instincts. That prioritising my own regulation would be one of the biggest ways to support him. I wish I’d known which parts of his sleep were completely normal, but had been deemed unacceptable by friends / family / society.
As a certified Somatic Coach, NLP & Reiki Practitioner, I am deeply passionate about supporting people to understand & trust themselves. To tune into their intuition, and work with - rather than against - their body’s innate wisdom. So bringing these pieces together with my work as a Holistic Infant Sleep Coach, I hope to show parents that it’s safe for them to trust themselves, shut out the noise and listen to their babies.
I am here to help you find more joy in your parenting journey (+ also get some more sleep!)
Whilst I can’t (and would never!) guarantee that your baby will sleep better, I can guarantee that you’ll feel happier in your situation and more confident in your choices.
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!
Testimonials
Liz, Mum to 6 month old - London
“Through Katie’s support both me and my baby are sleeping better and mine and my husband’s evenings feel far less stressful! She takes a very holistic approach to sleep - I learnt so much about how to build the right amount of sleep pressure for my baby to sleep better at night. 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 in the mornings (win!), and also let go of so many ideas around what I ‘should’ be doing to help her go to bed or what she ‘should’ be doing at her age. When you’re in the thick of the sleep-deprived, motherhood haze, having a third party expert supporting you is invaluable!! Katie is full is wisdom and has a lot of personal experience, too. She’s a total joy to work with - so warm and caring and works with you to find the best solutions for your family.”
