My name is Emma and I am a holistic baby sleep consultant and founder of Help Baby Sleep. Like many sleep consultants, I discovered my passion through first-hand experience. Sleep did not come easily to my eldest child. In the process of learning all I could to help him, I realised that the science of sleep fascinated me.

I am a firm believer that new parents can really be helped by being supported and educated about the physiology of our infant’s needs. Combining my previous years working as a nanny and my own personal experience, I went to on to study comprehensively. I have worked with hundreds of families to create the optimal environment and setting for sleep with good foundations laid for success for the whole family. I feel passionately about helping parents get the rest and downtime that they so desperately need when they have young children to look after. I strongly believe that parents hold the key to their children’s sleep needs and I work with families to give them the confidence and faith in themselves to meet these needs.

Using my extensive knowledge of sleep science and what is developmentally appropriate for your baby, I help identify patterns, behaviours and external factors that may be contributing to baby sleep problems. I will then work with you to develop a tailored plan including practical tools and techniques focused on optimising sleep for your child which will benefit the whole family. As a holistic coach, my approach is very gentle and supportive of the child. I believe in supporting you to make changes to your child's sleep whilst respecting their developmental needs and without using any methods involving “controlled crying” or “rapid return”. All babies and children are individual and very rarely is there only one reason why your little one won’t sleep. I always endeavour to find a bespoke plan for you and your family that takes into consideration the fact that your little one’s needs are not only physical but also psychological, emotional and relational.

My training and qualifications include: The Holistic Sleep Coaching Programme (Ongoing). The MNT (Maternity Nurse Training) The IMPI (International Maternity and Parenting Institute) I am a member of the Association of Birth and Baby Professionals (ABBP) and the (International Association of Child Sleep Consultants (IACSC).
