Formerly and IT consultant in the UK, a major life change for me and my family meant a move across the other side of the world for a new life in Australia. This move caused a re-evaluation of my professional life and I decided to pursue a new career and retrained as an infant sleep consultant

The journey to becoming a sleep consultant began when my second child Margot was born in 2020. Margot’s sleep patterns for the first 5 months were debilitating for myself and more importantly my wife Claire. Up every 2 hours every night, continuous feeds on Claire and a never-ending spiral of feeding/sleeping with no consistency. Ultimately Claire and I reached our limits. We were both so tired and would dread heading into the night-time routine knowing what was ultimately laying ahead of us. My wife took the brave step to reach out for help and we engaged a sleep consultant in the UK. Reaching out was the hardest part, and from there as a Parenting team we both committed to the plan that was provided to us with the ambition of getting Margot to a point of sleeping for longer periods (anything but up every 1-2 hours). It was tough in the early stages but as a team, working off the plan and consistently sticking to the methods suggested we soon allowed Margot to get to the place we could only have dreamt of before. The difference this made to both me and Claire and our family was unquantifiable, and it always stuck with me the importance of sleep for everyone. Ultimately this has led me to where I am now, becoming certified, powered with knowledge and motivated to help other families :)
