JUST A FEW OF THE MANY TESTIMONIALS THAT I RECEIVE...
Suzi & Iris
"I contacted Louise when my baby was 10 months old and I was severely sleep deprived. My little one was difficult to put down and her inability to self settle continued as the months progressed and she was waking throughout the night every 1-2 hours. At some point during most nights we would end up co-sleeping, but this was broken and very disturbed sleep.
​
Louise was so attentive, caring and supportive and immediately put me at ease. The sleep plan she devised was detailed and tailored specifically to us and honestly within a few days I was seeing results. It was only a week or so before my baby slept a full night, independently in her cot. I was amazed! Throughout Louise has been there to support us through this process, always ready to answer any questions or tackle any issues that arose,
My daughter is now sleeping independently all night and nap times and is happy in her cot. This has happened with very little crying or protest due to Louise's gentle and holistic approach. If you are struggling, do not hesitate to contact Louise, you definitely won't regret it."
Maddy & Oscar
"Working with Louise has absolutely changed our lives! I can't thank her enough.
​
I contacted Louise when my little one was 10 months old. We were really struggling to get Oscar to sleep in cot at all and were experiencing lots of wake ups throughout the night. We had also got in the habit of cuddling and feeding to sleep, and had resorted to co sleeping in the end as it was the only way to get Oscar to sleep better during the night.
After speaking to Louise for the first time, my partner and I felt reassured and more at ease knowing we weren't alone in our situation and that she was going to be able to help us.
We followed the plan that was written up for us and Louise was completely on hand and extremely helpful and supportive for the whole process. Her methods are gentle and she listens to any concerns that are raised and adapts in the most suitable way.
We now have a baby that sleeps through the night and knows how to settle himself to sleep, and we also have our evenings back so we can relax!
We wouldn't be in this situation without Louise's constant support and encouragement and would recommend her to anybody needing help with their little ones sleep."
Lauren & Myla
"I contacted Louise when my little girl was 8.5 mnths old and sleeping worse than ever, sometimes waking 9/10/11 times a night. Both myself and her were having less sleep at this point than when she was a newborn and I was utterly exhausted! Restless nights meant restless days & I realised this was the point that I needed some help in combatting the issues.
​
My daughter is BF, would only go to sleep being rocked, needed to be put down asleep & when she would wake, I was the only one that could settle her. She wasn't eating much during the day, would always seem un-rested & I knew our nights were having an impact on the whole picture.
I'd feel anxious as bedtime approached each evening, not knowing what kind of night we'd have in store. When she'd go to sleep, I'd know it could be 45 mins till she would wake again. I really had no idea how to break the cycle we were in, but after finding Louise online, felt this could be the answer.
​
Louise was on hand every single night & morning, asking how things had gone & suggesting changes to implement if necessary. Louise is so knowledgeable, caring and passionate in what she does and was able to help with any questions I had.
​
With Louise's support, I now have a baby that can be put down by my husband, can settle herself, get back to sleep without help when she stirs in the night & is overall happier & more content. We are all generally more rested, find bedtime a relaxed & enjoyable process & no longer dread the nights!"

Faiqa & Mehr
"Louise has been an absolute gem in our lives! It's been hard to really put into words the difference she has made to all our lives..
Louise's techniques and support were brilliant from the moment we first spoke, I just knew she was the right person for us. Extremely kind, patient and supportive, despite all the hurdles we faced. She even became my personal therapist on the side. Louise stuck by me & since then, although Mehr's sleep isn't 100% perfect, it's miles better than it was.
From being swaddled/rocked/bounced/car driven, to now where I am able to put her down in her cot AWAKE and she can usually put herself to sleep. Magical!"
Emily & Jack
"WOW. Words cannot quite describe how much our lives have changed since working with Louise on Jack's sleep.
Not only are me and my husband well rested, but Jack is too and has come on leaps and bounds in his learning and physical skills since he started sleeping better.
I absolutely loved Louise's holistic approach to sleep, getting me to assess all aspects of Jack's life and day to ensure the greatest success.
​
We had so many things thrown at us during the process; colds, cutting of first teeth, new room, and separation anxiety, but throughout Louise was kind, calm, patient and understanding, never once making me feel pushed into going back onto the plan and giving us the space that we needed for Jack to be ready to start up again.
Each time we did start up, Jack immediately responded to it and felt comfortable and happy to get himself to
sleep.
​
Now we are a few weeks after our completion date and I can confidently say that it was one of the best decisions we made as parents. Jack is happily sleeping through the night (an unexpected bonus! and so am I!
Thank you for everything Louise."

Jen & Charlie
"I can't thanks Louise enough. Our little boy had been sleeping terribly for almost 12 weeks and I was at the point of exhaustion as a breastfeeding mum. Charlie is our 2nd and we were lucky with our first to have a baby that slept through from 3 months and had a routine that ran like clockwork.
I discovered Louise through mutual friends and started following her on Instagram. The time came when I couldn't continue so I contacted her. From the word go, she was professional, supportive and guided us through a process that was such a success that it brought back normality in our family life, gave us more sleep which in turn made both myself and Charlie happier and more settled. I felt like me again and I felt I could cope.
Guilt had played a major factor as I felt it was affecting my daughter too. Now I feel I am better for going through this process and I can be me and all that entails too. You won't regret getting the support from Louise."
Katie & Bobby
"I came to Louise when my little one was 9 months old, he had been waking continuously through the night, sometimes I was out of bed more than 10 times to help him re-settle.
I was exhausted as had 3 others to look after, busy with work and a house to run. I kept thinking it will improve by itself and putting off getting in contact with her for advice, but after a run of bad nights I cracked and was ready to do anything for a reasonable nights sleep.
Louise was super supportive and on hand with how to follow out the new routine. I can't tell you how happy I am that I got in touch. Both myself and my little one are more rested and can enjoy each other's company so much more than constantly being tired and exhausted.
I would really recommend her to any sleep deprived parent, shes been amazing and we truly can't thank her enough."
The Hotchkiss Family
"Dear Louise, We just wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you've done for our family over the last 8 weeks. Your expertise and guidance have been absolutely invaluable in helping our baby son get the sleep he needs to grow and thrive.
Before we found you, we were struggling to get our little one to sleep more than an hour at night. His naps were inconsistent, broken or non existent. We were exhausted and overwhelmed, and we weren't sure where to turn.
From the moment we started working with you, we knew we were in good hands.
​
Your gentle, compassionate approach to sleep training was exactly what our family needed. You took the time to listen to our concerns and answer our questions, and you always made us feel supported and encouraged. The results speak for themselves. Our son is now sleeping through the night and we feel like a whole new family.
This last week he has started pointing, clapping, waving and almost crawling. We think this has to be helped by him being so well rested.
We cant thank you enough for all that you've done for us. Your business truly makes a difference in the lives of new parents and their babies and we feel so lucky to have found you."
"Honestly I can’t put into words how much our lives have changed since working with Louise.
When I first contacted Louise, my son who at the time was 12 months old, was still co-sleeping, exclusively BF and showed no signs of wanting to progress past this point. I was the only one who could get him to sleep at night and would then have to stay with him in bed as he would wake as soon as I left the room.
Towards the end of our co-sleeping journey, as much as I appreciated that we had been able to co-sleep, I yearned to be able to have some ‘me’ in the evenings. This is when I knew it was the right time to start the transition to get Oliver off the boob and into his own bed.
My husband and I were certain that we needed someone who shared the same values as us when it came to sleep methods, and most importantly had Oliver’s needs at the core of the programme. Louise delivered on that, above and beyond.
The first day of our sleep training journey will stick with me forever, I was so worried, anxious and nervous whether I was doing the right thing, but I did not need to be. Louise was on hand day and night to offer support and advice. She was reminding me of the key steps of our plan, to breath and to stay calm. Her reassurance truly was the key to our success in this whole journey.
After 6 weeks working with Louise, Oliver can now be put into bed awake and will fall asleep independently. Even writing this now still amazes me.
We have come so far and it is all thanks to Louise, her dedication and passion for her job is evident in the results that she produces.
I can't recommend Louise enough; it will be the best decision vou make, not only for your little one but for
yourself too.
Louise, thank you from the bottom of our heart for helping us get to where we are. We appreciate you so much.
