Hi! I'm Jess
I am hugely passionate about infant and toddler sleep and development and well-being of the entire family unit. I offer support with an evidence based approach that centres connection and attachment.
I meld together my diverse background in developmental psychology and child development research (PhD under review), sleep science, and my certification in infant and family sleep to support you and your family.
​
Being holistic and responsive is a core value of mine and of my business. I do not use any separation or crying based sleep training methods in my practice.
How did I get here?
Becoming a mother brought along with it the confronting realisation that many parents do not receive adequate support, evidence-based information or alternative, holistic options to help them get more sleep.
​
As a new mum, I was given so much advice that did not align with my instincts and values as a parent. At times it made me feel like a failure. Why didn't my baby fit in with these expectations? Why did following these rules feel so wrong?
​
I knew there had to be another way.
​
I was determined to find it. So, in the midst of the early parenting fog, I obsessively researched and modified my approach accordingly. It changed my life and I know it can change your life, too.
To educate, empower, and fill your toolkit so you can optimise sleep using evidence-based strategies that prioritise responsiveness and meet your baby and family's unique sleep and well-being needs.
You do not have to choose between parenting in a responsive, nurturing, and attachment-focused way or your rest and well-being. There are times when it may be challenging, but together we can find the balance you need.
