What age children do you work with?

I support families with babies and young children from newborn right through to age 5. Whatever stage you are at, the plan is built around your child.

What's included in the Moonlight Sleep Support package?

It is £299 and includes a one-hour video consultation, a fully personalised sleep plan created from our consultation and your sleep log, and three weeks of unlimited WhatsApp support while the new routine beds in.

Do you offer a free call?

Yes. We start with a free, no-obligation 15-minute discovery call to talk through your nights and see if we are the right fit, with no pressure at all.

Do I have to let my baby cry it out?

No. I work gently and responsively, at your child's pace. My approach is anxiety-aware and tailored to your child, never a rigid method that ignores the little person you actually have.

Where are you based and do you work online?

I support families entirely by video consultation, so I can work with you wherever you are in the UK.

Are you qualified and insured?

Yes. I hold a Level 3 Certificate in Sleep Consultancy Practitioner (AIM Qualifications), I spent 15 years as a Teaching Assistant and SEN specialist, and I am fully insured through Protectivity.

Sleep on Holiday: How to Protect Naps and Bedtimes Without Ruining the Trip

You've booked the holiday. You've packed the sun cream, the swim nappies, the fifteenth muslin "just in case." And somewhere in the back of your mind is the question every parent asks before they travel: is this going to wreck our sleep for weeks?

It doesn't have to. Holidays and good sleep aren't mutually exclusive, but they do need a bit of gentle strategy, especially if your little one has a settled routine at home.

Before You Go: Set Realistic Expectations

The goal on holiday isn't perfection, it's "good enough." A holiday where naps happen in the pram, bedtime shifts by an hour, and everyone's had some sleep, is a successful holiday. Trying to recreate your exact home routine in a different time zone with a different cot is a fast route to stress for you and an overtired baby.

Decide in advance which one or two things matter most to you (maybe it's the bedtime wind-down routine, or a comfort item from home) and let the rest flex.

Practical Tips That Actually Help

Bring the familiar. Pack the same sleep bag, comfort object, and if you use one, the same white noise. Familiar sensory cues tell your baby's body "this is still sleep time," even in an unfamiliar room.

Recreate darkness. Hotel rooms and rentals are rarely as dark as home. A portable blackout blind (the suction-cup type packs flat) makes a huge difference to both naps and how early morning wake-ups happen.

Protect the wind-down, not the exact time. You don't need to hit bedtime on the dot, but keeping the sequence the same (bath, story, cuddle, bed) gives your baby the predictability they need to settle, wherever you are.

Time zone changes: for shifts of an hour or two, don't do anything in advance. Just shift gradually once you arrive, using morning light exposure to help reset the body clock. For bigger time changes, split the difference each day rather than jumping straight to the new time.

Expect a wobble on return. Coming home often unsettles sleep more than the holiday itself. Give it a few days of consistency and your baby's usual patterns will come back.

Naps in Transit

If you're travelling during the day, contact naps in the carrier or pram are completely fine. This is not a habit you need to worry about "creating." It's a short-term, situational adjustment, and babies are adaptable.

Why I Don't Believe in "Sleep-Training for Travel"

You'll see plenty of advice online suggesting you sleep train before a holiday "so it doesn't fall apart." I don't work that way. You don't have to leave your baby to cry it out to have a good holiday, and you don't need to panic-prep for weeks beforehand. A few flexible strategies and realistic expectations go much further than rigid rules.

Coming Home to a Wobble?

If sleep does unravel a bit post-holiday (early wake-ups, resisted naps, more night waking than usual) that's completely normal and usually settles within a week. If it doesn't, or you'd like a hand getting back on track, book a free 15-minute discovery call and we'll figure out a plan together.
