What our clients say...

  • 'I have used several sleep courses and this is the first one where I have felt very comfortable making the changes suggested. I really feel like it matches the ethos of how I want to parent whilst still being given tools to make changes'

  • 'Sian was very reassuring and provided really useful advice and guidance on how to help with our babies sleep. She was empathetic and non judgemental, making me feel more relaxed. I now feel more confident in my ability to support my babies sleep.'

  • I absolutely loved this, I especially love that I didn’t have to read too much Sian just talked it all through which was great for me. So many things she said ring true to my little girl and it’s so reassuring to know that and also to know that me responding to my child isn’t spoiling them in anyway like a lot of people say and recommend other methods and it’s just nice to know there is another way. I can’t wait to implement things I have learnt and I’m feeling much more positive about it all'
