Sweet Dreamers Sleep Consulting

The Sweet Dreamers team consists of two Gentle Sleep Consultants: Carlene and Sophie.

Our goals are to make sure families are supported, nurtured, and respected throughout this process, and to be there to guide you through the challenges that comes with parenting, and we do so using only gentle and responsive methods - absolutley NO Controlled Crying or Cry it Out.

Carlene is a Gentle Sleep Consultant, Mum and AHPRA registered Endorsed Enrolled Nurse who has specialised in Practice Nursing and Gentle Sleep Support for the last 12 years. 

She has worked at some of the top Melbourne General Practices that focus on families and children’s health and wellbeing. 

She is a certified Baby and Child sleep consultant with the Institute of Sensitive Sleep and International Associate of Child Sleep Consultants. Carlene is also the in house sleep expert for some of the most trusted names in the world of parents and children, Oricom and b.box and has featured at the PBC expo in Melbourne

As a certified Baby Sleep Consultant and mother of 2 with over 12 years of experience as a nurse, she is able to assist with issues beyond sleep disorders, such as introducing solids (and types of food to promote sleep), safe weaning from breastfeeding, immunisation concerns and also put you in touch with appropriate Allied Health professionals should the need arise. 

After having her own children, she saw the need for sleep consultants that have a wider knowledge in gentle sleep support as well as children’s health and emotional care, and the family in general. 

Carlene can assist with children from 0-6 years of age. 

Sophie is a qualified Early Childhood Educator who has worked in education since 2015, as well as providing high quality in-home private care for children and families. She became a certified Sleep Consultant with the Institute of Sensitive Sleep Consultants in 2023, and decided to use her years of experience with children to follow her passion for supporting families to begin this exciting next step in her career. 
As a sleep consultant, her approach is gentle, holistic and ensures all aspects of the child are taken into consideration. She believe a successful approach is one that feels right for you, and I’ll do my best to create a plan that recognises the strengths and values that feel important for your family. 
Nearly a decade of professionally caring for children under 5 has given her the chance to develop many tips and tricks for all ages- from the newborn you’ve just brought home, to the toddler who is learning how to be independent- and she can’t wait to share them with you.
