Emily has been a real life saver.

Emily has been a real life saver. My twin boys’ sleep had got really bad, they were waking up to 11 times a night each and not at the same time. By the end of our two weeks working together they were waking 1-2 times and often at the same time. We are now out of survival mode and life is so different, so much nicer!

Emily has equipped us with the tools to adapt Olivia’s sleep plan as she gets older.

Emily was fantastic from the start, it was very much a two way conversation and personalised to our family. Over the course of the two weeks, Olivia’s sleep progressively improved and she is now consistently sleeping through the night. Emily has equipped us with the tools to adapt Olivia’s sleep plan as she gets older.

I cannot thank Emily enough. I would recommend her services to anyone with babies/children with sleep problems. You don’t have to be in that situation.
