The Mama Coach - Colette Payne

Welcome to The Mama Coach – Colette Payne.

Colette is a registered nurse, baby sleep consultant, lactation counsellor, and newborn care expert. For the past 19 years, I’ve work as a neonatal nurse caring for premature and newborn infants requiring surgery and intensive care. Along with this, I work as The Mama Coach which is a RN private practice brand from Canada. Colette was part of the first group of nurses to bring this service to Australia.

We specialise in:

• Sleep and settling support: 0-4 years of age
• Feeding Support for both Breast and bottle feeding·Newborn and Postpartum Care support
• Private and Group Parenting Workshops
• Bub & Me Mother’s Group

The decision to seek help from a RN or sleep consultant is deeply personal and often stems from a desire to enhance the overall well-being of the family. If your child is struggling with persistent sleep issues, frequent night awakenings, or if you, as a parent, are feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, it may be an opportune time to reach out for support. 

Colette The Mama Coach welcomes families at any stage, from the early days of infancy to the toddler years, providing guidance that is tailored to the unique needs of each child and family.

Meet Colette:

I am not only a RN but also a mother of 2 boys. My journey as a mother has not been easy. I faced the challenges of infertility and IVF, complicated pregnancies, which involved a premature birth. My second son was born at the start of the COVID pandemic resulting in the isolation many suffered through being separated from my support network. I thoroughly understand both how hard parenting can be, and the beautiful miracle it is.This has led me to become The Mama Coach, which enables me to be there for those wanting additional support and education through their own journey.

Our Approach:

1. Customised Sleep plans: We understand that every child is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Through in-depth consultations, we gather information about your child's sleep patterns, routines, and any existing challenges. This data forms the foundation for crafting a customized sleep plan that aligns with your family's values and goals.

2. Expert Assessment: As registered nurses, our team possesses a unique advantage in conducting thorough nursing assessments to identify any underlying health or developmental factors that may impact sleep. We go beyond the surface to uncover potential contributors to sleep challenges, ensuring a holistic and comprehensive understanding of your child's well-being.

3. Consultation and Guidance: Weprovide one-on-one consultations to discuss the personalised sleep plan, addressing any questions or concerns you may have. This is a collaborative process, where we work closely with you to implement strategies that promote healthy sleep habits. We offer practical guidance on sleep routines, optimal sleep environments, and effective settling techniques.

4.Ongoing Support: The journey to improved sleep is not a one-time event. Recognizing this, our support can extend beyond the initial consultation. We can provide ongoing support, adjusting the sleep plan as needed, and addressing any new challenges that may arise. We understand that parenting is dynamic, and our goal is to empower you with the tools and knowledge necessary for sustained success.

5. Books for empowering parenting: To complement our personalized approach, The Mama Coach offers resourceful e-books as valuable tools for parents. These e-books cover a range of topics, from sleep training methods and establishing effective bedtime routines to nutrition and overall child development. Our goal is to empower parents with knowledge that goes beyond the consultation, allowing families to navigate various aspects of parenting confidently.
