Gentle Sleep Support that Feels Right for You and Your Little One
Helping tired families find rest with calm, connection, and zero sleep training.
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 work through 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.
I make sleep feel easier.
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 “cry it out” or sleep train to get more sleep.
In fact, you don’t have to do anything. You’re the parent — you’re in charge — 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 ‘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!
