  • 60 minutes.
    You’ll complete a short pre-form, we meet for 60 minutes, and you receive a summary with 3 priorities + first steps and a 7-day check-in. You can add 1 or 2 weeks of follow-up (messages; the 2-week option includes a 15-min wrap call).That said, I occasionally have last-minute availability, so it’s always worth getting in touch — I’ll do my best to accommodate your family’s needs.

  • You can absolutely start with a one-off. Many families do. If you’d like support while you implement, add 1 or 2 weeks of follow-up or book a returning-client consultation later.

  • Please book as early as possible—live-in dates go first—but I do sometimes have last-minute spaces. I’ll share my soonest options when you enquire.

  • Yes — NCFE Level 3 Early Years Practitioner, OCN Level 5 Maternity Nurse, and OCN Level 6 Sleep Practitioner — with hands-on experience supporting 170+ families. I work attachment-informed and evidence-aware.

  • No. I offer non-medical, complementary support. I’ll signpost you to your GP/health visitor or other professionals whenever something clinical is indicated.

  • No. I use responsive, attachment-informed approaches—realistic rhythms, supportive settling and feeding strategies—never CIO/timed intervals.

  • Absolutely. Shared understanding makes change easier. Partners and caregivers are welcome in consultations and during live-in work.

  • Yes. We agree the day/night pattern in advance; I handle feeds/settling in line with your plan and protect your rest.
    Live-ins include 4 hours of protected daytime rest for me daily (plus brief meal/shower breaks) and, for longer stays, 1 day off per 7.

  • I don’t sell products, but I can recommend evidence-aware, budget-sensible options and help set up safe sleep spaces and practical systems at home.

    • Consultations: < 48h notice is charged in full.

    • Nights/Live-ins: ≥ 14 days before start → 50% of remaining balance; < 72h → 75%; after start → current week due in full.

  • Use the Contact page to share your baby’s age, where you’re based, and what you’re hoping for. We’ll book a free 20-minute introductory call to confirm the best fit (consultation or live-in). If you’d like to proceed, I’ll send a client agreement, brief intake form, and payment details (deposit for live-ins). Once confirmed, we schedule your start date and begin.
