Babysomnia

Welcome to Babysomnia. I am a sleep specialist in Melbourne and I want to empower parents with the confidence and tools they need to get better sleep. I’ll show you the steps that you need, so that you can start getting results and stop second guessing yourself. This will set the foundation for healthy sleep habits that will support your child as they grow.

While we spend an inordinate amount of time learning and preparing for birth – no one prepares you for what is going to come after!

Noone ever told you that sleep was going to be this hard!

I've worked with hundreds of families who believed that the only two options were either let them "cry it out" or wait it out - both of which are unhelpful by tapping into your guilt that it's somehow your fault for getting into the situation in the first place (I mean it's just sleep - how hard can it be?!!!) or that you are doing damage to your child.

By changing the way we talk and think about sleep, I want to take you from feeling anxious and overwhelmed to feeling competent and confident in developing and supporting healthy sleep skills! I'm passionate about helping families out of survival and into thriving in these early years.

I specialise in: 

• Taking the stress out of bedtime 

• Help your child to sleep longer overnight 

• Feel calmer and more confident 

• Know what to do and in what order 

• Be able to effectively troubleshoot when things don’t go to plan I have worked in the field of Sleep Medicine for over 20 years. 

I have a Ph.D. from the University of Melbourne in Sleep Psychophysiology and have undertaken Postdoctoral fellowships in the Human Sleep and Neuroscience Programs at Stanford Research Institute and the Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. I currently lives in Melbourne with my husband and four children.

After working together, you’ll feel clearer and more confident in your approach. You’ll feel aligned with your partner and in your parenting instincts. I can’t wait to get started!
