What makes me the sleep consultant for you…?
Hi, I’m Sophie.
I LOVE to help children and families find their way to a successful sleep routine….because quite frankly, Sleep deprivation for both the children and their families makes things very difficult - brain fog, memory deficits, poor concentration, impatience…
(You don’t need me to go on as i’m sure you’re feeling it right now).
i am a mother to three glorious and busy boys - currently aged 7, 5 and 10 months. my first two - well - they were not “sleepers” let me tell you! I thought it was part of parenting being sleep deprived and delirious - meeting in the park with a large coffee for a daily debrief. i thought (and very much believed) it was the NORmal. obviously there was always one who was the “dream sleeper” but they seemed the anomaly.
Third baby in….when survival seems even more key - things are different. very very different. I have used my years of training as a children’s intensive care nurse and my certification in sleep consultatncy to create Sleepers!! it turns out - a deeper understanding of my childs sleep needs was key.
ta daaaaaaa - my sleep issues were solved and can CONTINUE to be RECTIFIED when life takes us out of sync!
and Yes - and this could be you too!
having worked with so many families over the years I understand you. I empathise with those sleepless nights, those disorganised naps, the hours spent trying to to get a child to sleep, solo bedtimes, multiple bedtimes, those bad habits that seem impossible to kick and of course those early early morning wakings - gah - sleep deprivation hurts!
but…….i am not a sleep consultant who will do things you don’t want to do.
I am here to educate you, to guide you and to support you.
i create bespoke plans based upon your child and your families needs, your environment and your goals.
i then support you over a 3 week period.
What qualifications do i have?
I am a band 8a Paediatric nurse (Nhs), who has trained in children’s nursing, children’s intensive care, children’s pain management, children’s neurosciences, children’s oncology AND children’s PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT.
I AM A CERTIFIED OCN LEVEL children's SLEEP CONSULTANT, with trainING acquired THROUGH the SLEEP consultant academy.
