Gentle Sleep Support That Feels Right for You and Your Little One

No sleep training.

No pressure.

No judgment.

Just support that honours your values and your child’s needs.

Every child is unique and so are their sleep needs.

You are the expert when it comes to your little one; you know them best and you also know what is going to work best for your family. I’m here to listen to you, bring my sleep expertise and provide you and your family with a personalised and comprehensive sleep plan that doesn’t compromise your family’s values and actually works (no cookie cutter, one size fits all sleep plans around here!).

Let’s resolve your little one’s sleep challenges together, gently. Whether it’s a few tweaks needed or some big changes, the road to success can be gentle! You don’t need to sacrifice your family’s values, ignore your instincts, or follow a method you don't align with or doesn’t feel good to improve your child’s sleep.

A personalised approach to sleep

Hi, I’m Fran, Certified Baby & Toddler Sleep Consultant.

I help tired parents find calm, confidence, and rest with gentle, holistic, evidence-based support.

I offer sleep and parenting support that’s grounded in connection and attachment, and centred around your whole family. My approach is always responsive, respectful, and tailored to your unique situation, with no traditional sleep training, ever.

Together, we’ll find gentle, sustainable solutions that feel right for you and support your little one’s need for closeness, comfort, and security.

Kind words from previous clients

  • β€œFrom the first consult, Fran was so knowledgeable, engaged and passionate. She worked with us to tailor a plan that felt manageable, achievable and right for us. Our pΔ“pi has high sensory needs and a pretty sensitive temperament, so she was a little stubborn and resistant to change at times! But Fran was so accomodating and helped us to tweak the plan as we went, meaning we were able to troubleshoot rather than feeling discouraged. Fran helped us make big changes in a really short time - things we literally thought were impossible! And since working with her we have so much more confidence around our pΔ“pi’s sleep! We cannot thank you enough Fran!!”

    -Faith L

  • β€œHighly recommend the Gentle Sleep Consultant! We really felt like our whole situation was heard and listened to. She provided a very individual approach for our family which worked wonders for our early morning riser. Fran looked at the bigger picture and took time to understand our lives, advised on where we could make changes and talked through anything openly if we didn't understand. Fran was professional and fast in all communications and someone in our corner who celebrated in our wins! Happy sleeping 16 month old, happy well rested parents! Thank you!!”

    -Eva S

  • β€œThank you Fran. The guidance and support you’ve given over our week of support was exactly what I needed. Your gentle, patient and judgement free approach was extremely valuable to me. I have learnt so much about my babies sleep needs, can read him better and feel more comfortable doing this without your assistance now. I didn’t quite understand the importance of day sleep until you’ve shown me. My boy is happier and sleeping better. Your hours of availability and responsiveness is exceptional, which made this experience calm. I always felt like I was a priority and never forgotten. Thanks again, I’ll definitely be in touch if I need further support.”

I make sleep feel easy.

If you're struggling, feeling overwhelmed, or stuck in the thick of sleep challenges with your little one, you're not alone. And I want you to know: there’s a gentler way forward, one rooted in connection, compassion, and attachment.

You don’t have to β€œcry it out” or sleep train to get more sleep.
In fact, you don’t have to do anything. You’re the parent β€” you’re in charge β€” and I want you to know there’s absolutely no pressure to follow a method or change anything about sleep that doesn’t feel right for you or your little one.

I can offer you clarity, empathy, and truly gentle sleep solutions that feel aligned with your values and your little one’s needs.

Let’s get you back to waking up well-rested and refreshed, with the energy to parent the way you want to, and the space and time to enjoy the little things in life once again.

My goodness, the sleep world can be so loud!

By now you have probably read and been told 20+ different reasons why your baby or toddler isn’t sleeping. It’s overwhelming, right?

Parents are told far too often that responding and offering comfort and connection to their child is β€˜wrong’ and that this will have a negative impact on their sleep. Well, thanks to research and attachment science we know this simply just isn’t true!

We don’t need to sleep train to see big shifts in sleep. If you’re looking for responsive, gentle and attachment-focused sleep solutions that put your family first then I’m your sleep consultant!
