Are you exhausted from sleepless nights and endless googling at 3am?
As a gentle baby sleep consultant with over 20 years of early years’ education experience, I helpfamilies across the UK achieve better sleep through responsive, supportive guidance that works with your family's values.
Based in Portsmouth but serving families nationwide through virtual consultations, my approach focuses on gentle, responsive sleep support that respects your baby's development and your parenting values.
If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place:
Baby only sleeps when held or rocked
Frequent night waking's every 1–2 hours
Short naps that leave everyone exhausted
Early morning waking's before 6am
Bedtime battles and lengthy settling routines
4-month and 8-month sleep regressions
Feeling overwhelmed by conflicting sleep advice

What makes me different:
Developmentally appropriate – every recommendation considers your child's age and temperament
Family centred – your values and lifestyle guide every decision
Evidence based – grounded in current sleep science and 20+ years’ experience
Gentle but effective – no harsh methods, just supportive guidance that works
Ongoing support – you're never alone through the ups and downs
This approach means you can help your child develop healthy sleep skills while staying true to your
parenting values. No guilt, no second-guessing.
It's what I've lived!
You don’t need a textbook, you need someone who gets it. I’ve lived through the sleepless nights, the toddler meltdowns, the guilt, and the fog. With over 20 years in early years education and four children of my own, I bring more than sleep science, I bring heart, humour, and real-life solutions. I don’t just hand you a plan and walk away. I’m with you, voice-noting through the wobbles, celebrating the wins, and making sure this actually works for your child, not someone else's idea of ‘normal.’
Newborns (0–3 months): Building foundations, understanding normal patterns, establishing
gentle routines
Infants (4–12 months): Navigating sleep regressions, developing sustainable sleep skills,
schedule guidance
Toddlers (1–3 years): Managing bedtime resistance, room transitions, maintaining healthy
habits
Hi, lovely to meet you! My name is Kelly and as a certified infant sleep consultant and mum of four I know the struggle, the endless nights of soothing, the frustration when your baby just won't sleep, the foggy headed exhaustion. It's tough.
The challenges of your baby not sleeping well go beyond just the physical tiredness; it seeps into every aspect of your life. You've heard about sleep training, but you don't want to leave your baby to cry it out. Trust me, me neither! And I will never ask this of you.
Let me help you tackle these sleep challenges, find a tailored solution for your little one, and bring back the serenity that comes with a well rested family, everything I do is based on gentle & responsive sleep advice.
"I would recommend using Kelly as she is extremely down to earth and doesn't ever try and impose techniques such as 'cry it out' etc. Kelly's approach is responsive and you can tell she has had many years of working with children x”
"Kelly is supportive, consistent and practical. She tailored a plan around our family and child’s needs and the transformation was incredible in such a short space of time. We will be forever grateful for the help and support she provided us all. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
"I would 1000% recommend using this company to help you and your child and we will certainly use her again in the future if we have any sleep troubles again with my little girl or future babies💗”
Personalised solutions tailored to your unique situation
Expert problem-solving to identify root causes quickly
Ongoing support through challenges and setbacks
Faster results than trial-and-error DIY approaches
Confidence and peace of mind – no more 3am Google searches
Based in Portsmouth with over 20 years in early childhood education and specialised training in gentle sleep methods, I help families across the UK achieve better sleep through virtual consultations.
From London to Edinburgh, Manchester to Cardiff – distance is no barrier to getting the sleep support your family needs.
With a background enriched by 20 years as a Early years Practitioner and the first-hand experience of being a mummy myself, I bring a blend of professional expertise and empathetic understanding to the table.
My approach is anchored in the belief that every child is unique, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to sleep. I understand the importance of aligning sleep strategies with your parenting philosophy, creating an approach that feels right for your family.
