What is a Sleep Consultant?
A sleep consultant is a certified professional, trained in analyzing sleep patterns and providing individualized solutions to sleep issues.
Here at Slumber and Shine, I combine evidence-based methods with compassionate understanding of your family’s unique needs.
Unlike one-size-fits-all advice, I tailor my approach to suit your child’s age, temperament, and your family’s lifestyle and values.

What Issues Can a Sleep Consultant Help With?
From sleep regressions and frequent night wakings to bedtime battles and nap resistance, a sleep consultant can assist with a wide range of sleep challenges.
With expertise in sleep science and child development, I provide strategies that are effective, while being considerate of your child’s emotional needs.
When to Hire a Sleep Consultant
- Persistent Sleep Struggles: If sleep issues have been ongoing, it’s time to consider professional help.
- Feeling Overwhelmed: If the lack of sleep is affecting your emotional well-being or causing stress within your family, a sleep consultant can offer relief.
- Significant Life Transitions: Events like moving homes, a new sibling, or starting school can disrupt a child’s sleep. A sleep consultant can guide you through these changes.
- Doctors Recommend It: If your paediatrician suggests that the sleep issues may be behavioural and not medical, it’s a strong sign that a sleep consultant could be beneficial.
