“After a poor sleep consultant experience with our first born I was rather nervous about engaging with a sleep consultant again but i came across Mias profile on Instagram and instantly wanted to reach out to ask for her support when I read the gentle, kind and supportive words she writes on her posts. We, especially me (mum) is so grateful I could work with Mia and I cannot recommend her enough. At the end of the process I don't have a baby who is sleeping through the night, but at this stage it's not an achievable ask for him but what I do have is a baby who has made massive changes to his sleep habits and I am an empowered mum who now understands how to gently support my son with independent sleep.
Mia emotionally supported me so much whilst working with her, I've not felt alone in the journey, I've never felt judged, I've felt empowered and affirmed that I'm doing a good job, and I've been given the tools and confidence to make positive changes. When I had check in calls or whatsapps with me I always felt heard, validated and held. Mia helped me recognise the wins I was having. Her communication is excellent. Always super clear and consisie which I really appreciated because from tiredness I have brian fog and do find it hard to process information . Mia has so many helpful resources she shared with me and I feel like I have a much better understanding of my babies sleep needs and how to meet them. I'm in tune with what my baby needs, Mia helped me work with his needs and my personality and preferences and didn't just offer me a text book approach.
Although I had a one off package with Mia I'm hopeful we can work together in the future again because sleep needs change with age and I know I'll appreciate more help. As I've said I can't recommend Mia enough, thank you so much for everything x”

Luke - 5 months
We worked with Mia to help our five-month old son improve his napping and night time sleep. In a few weeks of making some changes, we noticed a shift in his patterns.
Mia listened to our experience with patience, compassion and knowledge, giving us the confidence we needed to adjust how we were approaching his wake windows. She followed-up and checked in with us regularly, and gave us lots of encouragement so that we stuck with it!
It was so helpful to have an expert to help us through it and we are so grateful for her support and guidance. Mia is truly knowledgeable and cares deeply about helping parents and little ones get the sleep they need. Thank you, Mia!

“Mia changed our lived. She brought restful nights back to our entire family.
I thought I had it figured it out. I read many blogs, books, articles to make sure I could help my daughter sleep. It took me a while to realise how a professional support on this matter was important.
My daughter would cry so much at bedtime that she would throw up if we left her in the crib even when half asleep. The cry out method wasn’t an option for us. We were in her bedroom every night, several times, holding her to sleep and hoping she wouldn’t wake up when we put her back in the crib.
Our lives get the hit when we don’t sleep. Relationships, work, my other kid, all was being impacted. Mia brought normal life back to us. I should say, not normal, a new wonderful life. Not only we were more patient and happier but my daughter was too. Sleeping better made her more confident during the day and helped her with her separation anxiety.
In practical life, no article knows your child and will not tell you what to do next when the nap doesn’t go as planned. No blog will work with you to understand what happened that day that made bedtime harder.
Mia will. She worked with us to bring our family together with one goal: help our daughter feel supported, loved and confident in her bedtime. When we thought of giving up, she was there to help us through and understand what was part of the process and what could change. When we were tired with sleepless nights, having someone with knowledge and wisdom to guide us was super important.
Consistency is key to help your kid, it is easy to give up when your plan doesn’t go well but with Mia there was always a way to keep going. We absolutely, 100% recommended her. Don’t wait long to help your kid, she is a Miracle worker!”

Dora - 5 months
Mia first started supporting me when I was at breaking point as a result of sleep deprivation! I know lack of sleep goes with the territory of being a mum of a baby but I was averaging 2 hours sleep a night, in 20 minute chunks! My little one liked to fall asleep feeding, sleep on me and not in her crib and would wake up after 10 minutes if I dared to put her down on her own!
My eyes were burning with tiredness but I didn’t want to just let her ‘cry it out’.
Mia came to my rescue. She took a lot of time to listen and plan with me, ensuring I was happy every step of the way. Mia took it at my pace and supported me at each step. Regular catch up calls were scheduled and Mia was so attentive on WhatsApp, putting up with my long list of questions and updates from the nights.
Tweaks were made to the plan as needed but the progress within days was noticeable.
Thanks to Mia, I now have a 5 month old who naps for good chunks of time, on her back, in her cot; a little one who goes to bed in her own room, in her cot, with no tears, just happy gurgling sounds but best of all, my little one sleeps most of the night with just two dream feeds! Occasionally there is a fussy wake up, but Mia has helped me navigate through this and with my consistent response, my little one settles quickly!
My eyes no longer burn, I have had more sleep in the last 2 weeks than I have in 4 months and both me and my daughter are happier than we have ever been. Thank-you Mia!

Beatrice - 19 months
I’d always thought sleep consultancy wasn’t something we’d need, and would in some way be a sign that we had failed.
But after 19 months of awful sleep with our youngest we were pretty desperate and out of ideas. We knew we were doing the wrong things but not sure how to fix it. This is when Mia came to our rescue and transformed everything for us.
She was so attentive, asked us in such great detail about Beatrice and her personality, routine and sleep problems and from this came up with an entirely bespoke plan that suited her and that we were comfortable with doing. My husband and I both have different working patterns and coupled with school and nursery it felt like we would never find a solution that fitted in with us and worked - but Mia got it right!
We have gone from a little girl who refused to go to bed, woke up several times wanting milk, often would have one of us sleeping on her floor with her and waking up at 5am to mess around to a little girl who goes to bed and sleep at 6.30pm and wakes up at 7.30am. We have finally got our evenings and sleep back and it’s benefitted us all immensely.
Mia was always available for coaching and suggestions, would answer any of our questions and supported us at every turn. We would not be where we are without her expertise, couldn’t recommend her more.

Emilia - 7 months
Mia is an amazing and patient coach! We started working with Mia when our daughter was 7 months old. Emilia went from Co-sleeping and waking up several time a night, to now going to sleep awake, and able to put herself to sleep without any night waking unless she’s poorly and sleeping 6-6!
Mia was always available to help and quick to respond. We appreciated her expertise as well as patience in walking us through the process and adapting Emilia’s sleep plan to her personality,
With Mia’s coaching and expertise, not only are we able to get the rest we need as parents, Emilia is also learning to sleep better and independently for her own health and development.
I highly recommend parents to work with Mia for coaching to develop good sleeping habits for your child, she has been a life saver!
