Success stories

Lisa was endlessly supportive. At times I felt like she was in the room with me helping me through and holding my hand.

Lisa genuinely shared my happiness when my daughter began to fall asleep on her own in her cot. My daughter is so much happier and well-rested now and I am getting a decent nights sleep at last!

I can recommend one-to-one sessions with lisa. My daughter was awake every hour through the night until she was 11 months old.

Lisa changed my life!

I had a conversation with Lisa about the sleep of our baby boy and was struck by her expertise and kindness. There was a sense of genuine passion and care coming through in every statement of hers in the conversation and it made for a very encouraging and constructive session. In a field where there are too many opinions and not enough facts, she navigated our situation, the knowledge and what would be possible and practical for us. I warmly recommend anyone with baby sleep challenges to talk to Lisa.

Lisa has been such an amazing help during my breast feeding experience. She was friendly, approachable and more me feel very comfortable when talking about breast feeding and showing her how I feed. Lisa is so knowledgeable and within one one-hour session I had learnt so much about my week old baby. Lisa also made me feel so reassured as she reminded me that my baby was still only tiny and learning just as much as I was. She ensured she checked up on me with a quick whatsapp message every now and then so I felt very supported and she even invited me to some events she was holding at reform. Without Lisa I don’t know where I’d be in my breast feeding journey and I can’t thank her enough! Thank you Lisa!

Lisa has been my rock throughout the process of gentle sleep training. My twins were 4.5 months old when I met her and she has been a fountain of knowledge. She is extremely knowledgable, having been a paediatric NICU nurse I totally trusted her given my twins were preemies. Her approach to all things sleep has been amazing. She’s extremely patient and worked with me through their different phases (teething, regression, illness etc.) and was always very supportive and reassuring. She has been more than a sleep consultant, a great support system for us parents as well. She literally has answers to everything. She’s excellent and I highly recommend her. Over support package has been long over but she’s still always a message away when Im stuck or the twins are struggling. Every parent of littles needs Lisa in their life.

We worked with Lisa when my son was two years and two months. Up until that point, he had maybe slept through the night five times in his life! from our first consultation with Lisa we felt so at ease and open to all of her recommendations to assist us with helping our son sleep through the night. Within the first week, we had started to implement the changes suggested and our son slept through the night four times! I was concerned about sleep training because I did not want to “leave him to cry it out” and I was so happy and comfortable with Lisa’s approach.

Louise

I can’t say enough good things about Lisa! I am so grateful for what she has done for our family. I really thought we were a lost cause and that our situation was too extreme with a breastfed toddler that was co sleeping in our bed with us. In a matter of days, our toddler was fully weaned from breastfeeding, sleeping in his own bed and above all sleeping through the night. Lisa is warm, approachable, understanding and basically held my hand through every step of our journey. I am forever grateful for her kindness, compassion and understanding in a transition I was super anxious about. My only regret is that I did not get to work with Lisa sooner!
