Are you a heading back to work soon and are desperate for some sleep, but you don't want to “sleep train" or 'cry it out"?
Are you running on fumes and desperate for more sleep, but know for sure that ‘cry-it-out’ isn’t your thing?
You’ve had all the advice (mostly unsolicited), spent late nights Googling, and somehow ended up even more confused. Everyone seems to say something different, and you’re left wondering why nothing is actually working.
You’ve tried everything you can think of, but your baby still isn’t sleeping and you don’t know what else to do. You just want a clear plan that actually makes sense - practical, gentle, and backed by someone who knows what they’re talking about.
That’s where I come in. Let’s get you and your little one the restful nights you both deserve - every single night.
Common sleep struggles I help with
Chances are you’ve found my page because you’re exhausted and done with “traditional sleep training.” You want a gentle, evidence-based approach that actually works - one that respects your baby and your instincts. With 20 years of experience as a nanny and maternity nurse, I help mums returning to work solve night waking and early rising without sleep training or “cry it out.”
Frequent Night Waking
You know babies wake in the night, that’s normal. But this? This feels never-ending. They’re up all night, every night, and every time they need YOU to get them back to sleep. You’re running on fumes and coffee. You don’t want to leave your baby to cry it out, but something’s got to give. You’d love some realistic, age-appropriate strategies that actually work - gentle, evidence-based, and designed to help everyone get some real sleep again.
Bedtime Battles
Your toddler has turned bedtime into a full-on hostage negotiation session. There’s water, another story, another cuddle, another question, anything to delay sleep. What should be a calm, snuggly routine has become a nightly showdown, and you’re both exhausted.
You know they’re tired, so why won’t they just go to sleep?! You’d love to end the day peacefully, with your toddler happy to drift off, but right now, nothing seems to be working.
Changing Sleep Associations
Your baby has one favourite way to fall asleep, which is usually attached to you. Whether it’s feeding, rocking, or a very specific lullaby you now hate, it’s all on you - and no one else will do. Plus, it’s getting... heavy. Quite literally.
You’ve tried to change things, but your baby protests loudly. You need a gentle, supportive plan that actually helps you shift those sleep associations without a meltdown (yours or theirs).
Difficulty Settling
You dread bedtime. The endless bouncing, feeding, rocking, and transferring - only for your baby to wake up the second their bum hits the mattress and you've ninja rolled away, thinking you’re free.
You’ve spent more evenings sitting in a dark room than watching Netflix lately. But you’d really love a calm, predictable bedtime routine where your baby settles easily and you actually get an evening again ,
Moving on from Co-Sleeping
You’ve been co-sleeping, maybe because you love the snuggles, or maybe because it’s been the only way anyone in your house gets any sleep. But now you’re ready to reclaim your bed (and your partner) and get your baby into their own sleep space. The problem? Every tiny movement wakes someone up. You need a calm, step-by-step plan that makes this transition smooth, gentle, and as drama-free as possible.
Difficult Naps
Nap time. Or as you call it, “that daily battle that never ends.” Your baby either refuses to nap or gives you a 20-minute micro-nap before deciding they’re done. You’ve tried all the nap routines, the blackout blinds, the white noise... nothing sticks. You spend your whole day trying to get them to sleep, only for them to wake up grumpy anyway. You need a plan that brings some predictability back, and still lets you actually leave the house once in a while.
Choose your sleep support
You don’t have to stay stuck in sleepless chaos and keep reheating your coffee. I’ll help you swap feeling exhausted for a clear plan that actually gets you more sleep.My transformational programs are for parents ready to commit to change, and see real results.

Hi, I'm Sandy...
Gentle Holistic Baby and Toddler Sleep Coach
Wildhood Sleep was born from what I believe childhood should be: full of scraped knees, muddy puddles, and big adventures. The kind of days where your kid comes home grinning, covered in dirt, and you have no choice but to hose them off in the garden. That's the magic I grew up on.
So yes, wildhood is in my bones. But so is sleep. That’s the balance I help families find.
After 20 years as a nanny and maternity nurse, I’ve seen just about every kind of family and sleep struggle. Too often, I worked alongside “sleep trainers” offering one-size-fits-all fixes that never made sense. Why use “cry it out” for a 4am wake-up without finding the cause? It felt like treating a headache with painkillers instead of asking why it hurts.
That’s what led me to qualify as a Holistic Sleep Coach, one of the most advanced, evidence-based programs available. I completed the OCN Level 6 training (the gold standard in sleep education), which showed me how much more there is to sleep than… sleep. And that is the kind of sleep support you deserve.
Here's what my families are saying...
