Our two weeks with Naomi have been game changing! At ten months our son (and us!) was struggling to kick the night feed and multiple wake ups. Having run out of ideas, getting exhausted and anxious about dealing with midnight wake ups and reliant on feeding him back to sleep we reached out to Naomi for help. Everything we thought sleeping training would be…it wasn’t! With Naomi’s help we identified where we could make tweaks to bedtime routine and learnt tactics on how to respond during the night to ensure all of us got back to sleep calmly and quickly. Naomi was on hand every step of the way, always positive, without judgement and full of knowledge to empower us to make the changes. We’re no longer exhausted and have a happy and rested baby we know how to help back to sleep. Thank you so much!

Our time sleep training with Naomi has been life changing! Having our daughter so dependent on her dummy and transitioning into her own room just seemed impossible but I genuinely can’t believe it. It’s like we have a different baby. She’s now sleeping all night with no dummy in her own room at 6 months old having been highly dependent on a dummy, but she’s so happy all the time now and sleeping amazingly through the day too. I would definitely recommend Naomi to anyone considering sleep training, it’s 1000% worth it and Naomi has been so kind and lovely to work with. The method she taught us has been so gentle on her but the knowledge I have now going forward is incredible and for that I am so so grateful.

We wanted to say a huge thank you for your kind support, guidance and advice as we carried out your easy-to-follow sleep plan for Eleanor. I’m just a few days, her night sleep has transformed and she is happier for it. Our calm and content baby is so well rested, nothing phases her now! I feel ten times better too. You are amazing and you’ve transformed our lives.

Eleanor - 7 months

We began working with Naomi when our son was 7 months old primarily for support with naps as he would fight his cot naps and favoured the pram or car. We were also on two feeds per night through habitual wake ups which was affecting his daytime eating and we rarely had a wake up after 6am.

Initially Jude proved a bit of a test against the methods, and we really did have to apply the techniques consistently over several weeks.

With Naomi’s support and implementing the tools she gave us, we are now seeing Jude sleep through the night consistently with just a dream feed to see him through. Thankfully most wake ups are also past 6am now too.

We have seen good progress with his cot naps and whilst this is still a work in progress as he learns to connect his sleep cycles, it’s nice to now have the option of using the cot for his later naps, which wasn’t much of an option two months ago.

Naomi has been very supportive and went over and above to ensure we got the results we wanted.

Jude - 7 months

We went to Naomi as we were really struggling with our two year old son’s sleep pattern and to get him into a suitable routine. We were passed Naomi’s details and we are so pleased and thankful that she was able to help.

After our initial consultation, Naomi devised a personalised plan that suited our situation and more importantly considered our son’s specific sleep issues.

Naomi’s support did not end there though, as she made herself available throughout the process.

In a matter of four or five days we were in such a positive place with our evenings back to spend as a couple with our son sleeping happily. If any parent out there is tearing their hair out at the ordeal of night time, we can’t recommend Naomi and her fantastic methods enough!

Where do I even start?

I was a little sceptical about sleep training at first because I was worried about not being responsive to Elijah but Naomi’s approach could not have been more gentle!

Our aim was to get Elijah to sleep better in the early hours of the morning but in the 2 week process we ended up taking away the dummy, teaching him to self settle, absolutely nailing naps and even moving him into his own room! My entire life has changed!

We have gained back our night time sleep, our sanity and our bedroom – all thanks to our sleep training guardian angel.

Naomi went over and above to make sure we felt confident and in control and we knew we could always go to her with our questions no matter how minor they may have seemed.

Elijah is an amazing sleeper now and my anxiety levels are so much better knowing that I have a bit more control over my day!

Elijah - 5 months

Working with Naomi has changed our lives. I had always been sceptical of ‘sleep trainers’ however with my daughter Edith almost 3 and me sleeping on the floor next to her holding her hand I realised that we had got ourselves into some dreadful routines and that I needed help and support to change these.

Naomi listened to everything about our bedtime and sleep routine and she designed a package that would work for us. This was adapted as we went along to make sure it was right for Edith. It was a tough 2 weeks, more so for me than for her as I had to break all the bad routines I had put in place to get Edith to sleep quickly and actually patiently and calmly allow her time to learn to settle herself and become confident sleeping. She was very open to the changes and all the extra set up that Naomi teaches you about bedtime now means she actually enjoys getting ready for bed. This really is the best Christmas present I could have given my family. Thank you Naomi, I could not recommend working with you more.

Edith - 3 years

Our son would only sleep if one of us laid down with him in his bed, including his naps. He was due to start at a Nursery soon and I just couldn’t imagine him sleeping there. Naomi has provided us with support and advice throughout our journey and our son now self settles in his bed…alone! Something I didn’t think would ever be possible! Naomi was, and is, completely invested in us and provided us with techniques and methods that we can use now and in the future.

HAPPY PARENTS

I know it’s been a few weeks since we finished the sleep training, but I just wanted to say again – I can’t believe how much it’s changed everything! She’s amazing at going to sleep and in general she’s a much happier child!! Thank you so much!

I won’t lie I found the first 7 months of motherhood hard! I went back to work at 3 months expecting sleep to get better and it was progressively getting worse. My daughter was waking for a feed twice in the night and sometimes starting the day at 4 or 5am, I was going to work like a zombie. I’d done some research on sleep training but I had so many questions and I really didn’t feel confident in doing it alone. I’d seen Naomi recommend and instinctively messaged her one day when I’d hit the wall! She guided my partner and I through the whole process & yes the first night was really hard but every night since she’s slept through the night! Her naps are so much better and I feel confident that her dad & grandparents can put her down easily now. I also feel like she’s a happier baby for getting enough sleep.

What I really needed through the process was support & Naomi provided every step of the way. There’s plenty of books on sleep out there but nothing compares to having someone there to support and reassure you. Honestly it’s one of the best things we’ve done & I believe I’m a better mother for having a good nights sleep!

I contacted Naomi to see if she could help with our babies sleep. He was 10.5months when I contacted Naomi and waking anywhere between 6-9 times in the night. Myself and my husband were so concerned our little one wasn’t getting the quality sleep he needed it was a no brainier to invest in Naomi’s expertise. I was really worried before speaking to Naomi, as a Mum it was daunting trusting someone with something so vital for my baby. I was also apprehensive of sleep training as I had a negative association thinking it would be suggested to leave him to ‘cry it out’ which I wouldn’t be able to do and knew I could only commit to sleep training if I could comfort my baby. I needn’t worry from the first phone call Naomi was so reassuring and passionate in her methods I already felt at ease. Naomi emphasised how we would still very much be meeting his needs, and there was of course some elements of crying but I could absolutely comfort and respond to him but in an effective way. My baby also has had some difficulties with weaning so it was essential for me to still be able to offer him milk that he needed, Naomi took this on board and tailored our programme suitably. My little boy at no times was abandoned, or distressed and his needs were met and I quickly saw the improvement from just night two in his sleep. At the end of week 1 the results were incredible just two dream feeds and completely settled inbetween ‘catching little dreams’. At this point myself and Naomi decided I could continue without using some calls I had left and Naomi has kindly banked them for me should I need them in the future. We have just come to the end of week two and he is slept through the night and with just one dreamfeed at 10am. Naomi has been so kind and accessible throughout when I’ve had ‘quick questions’ via WhatsApp. She has responded quickly and has never made me feel a nuisance. Thank you Naomi for what you’ve done for our little one and our sleep! What a credit you are to sleep training.

Our daughter has always been a pretty good night sleeper but we were really struggling with her naps. It was taking us ages to get her down and even then she’d only ever sleep for 30 minutes.

When she was 6 months old we spoke to Naomi about helping us with her naps but also since she’d moved to her own room we were doing dummy runs in the night.

We decided to get rid of the dummy and I cannot believe how quickly she adjusted to not having it. I think it was also contributing to her terrible naps.

Naomi was so brilliant at talking us through a sleep plan and we really felt she properly wanted to know what type of baby Marianne was. She was so reassuring and calm and we really trusted her.

It only took a couple of nights before our daughter was settling herself to sleep and her naps improved drastically.

Naomi was always checking in to see how we were doing and answered any questions we had.

We can’t believe what a brilliant little sleeper we have!

Marianne - 5 months

To be honest I never believed in sleep training. I had already formed an opinion about it before I knew what it was. My previous understanding was that you just leave a baby to cry. But the approach is gentle and reasonable and the short term crying that I personally experienced was never traumatic. Although it was very difficult the first and second night by night 3 she was almost sleeping through.

In less then a week she was sleeping through and self settling. Amazing!

Frequently Asked Questions

What if it doesn't work?

It works! If my sleep programmes are followed through consistently then the sleep training will work. These are proven techniques.

How long will it take?

A behavioural intervention can resolve a baby or young child's sleep challenges in as little as 1-3 nights or it could take 4-6 weeks. Most families see a vast improvement within the first 7-10 days. There are a number of variables that can determine the speed of progress, particularly consistency and we will discuss this during our consultation to ensure you get the best results.

Will my baby cry?

All babies (and young children) cry. It is how they communicate. Anyone offering a no-cry sleep training is suggesting your baby stops communicating! We help you to read the cries and understand what the needs are and we offer suitable responses so you are never ignoring any cries. Responding to your child’s cries in an appropriate way ensures their needs are met throughout the sleep training.

What is your success rate?

100% of the families I work with achieve the results they are looking for when they commit to consistently implementing the strategies taught to them through my sleep programmes.

Do you guarantee results?

I provide a service that consists of information and support. I cannot control how that is used by the customer, therefore I cannot guarantee the customer's results. I can guarantee satisfaction with my assessment and consultation, after which the results are in the customer's hands.
