Our 1st baby fought sleep at every opportunity. Not only was being told "she'll sleep when she's tired" and "you just need to leave her to cry it out" not helpful, it made me feel even worse that I couldn't crack the code as to how to help my baby sleep, and be happy. Cue my obsession with pediatric sleep & parenting... 8 years and 8 certifications later, my journey with my 2nd and 3rd babies were night and day different, literally! And my joy in life is being able to pass along these cheat codes to 100's of exhausted families, transforming their own parenting journeys. Navigating sleep, breast feeding and potty training can be a wild ride, but it doesn't have to be miserably stressful. I understand how profoundly sleep deprivation touches every part of family life — your health, your patience, your confidence, and even the simple joy of being with your children. When I chose to become a sleep consultant, I made a very intentional decision about how I would practice: Sleep consulting is an unregulated field. There is no governing board and no legal requirement for formal education. Many consultants are entirely self-taught, which simply wasn’t good enough for me. If I was going to support families during such a tender and vulnerable season of life, I wanted to be as thoroughly educated and well-informed as possible. I pursued extensive, evidence-based qualifications and schooling not because I had to, but because I believe families deserve care rooted in science rather than guesswork, and the very best chance of success. ​In my experience as a practitioner, I believe that sleep challenges do not exist in isolation. It is closely connected to feeding, development, attachment, and the emotional wellbeing of both parent and child, and the heart of my practice reflects this whole-family perspective. ​My approach is thoughtful, structured, and compassionate. It respects children, supports parents, and provides clear guidance without cookie cutter or one-size-fits-all methods ​​​This isn’t about forcing children to sleep. It’s about helping families build healthy, reliable sleep that sticks — so parents can finally rest, children can thrive, and the household can function with confidence, and peace. ​Jolly Good Sleep exists because families deserve better than trial and error. They deserve a clear path to success, and long overdue rest! ​​Welcome to Jolly Good Sleep.
