Hi, I'm Helen...
A proud mammy of two, certified sleep consultant, and qualified primary school teacher.
My journey to becoming a sleep consultant began with my own struggles as a parent with a very cute little sleep thief called Evie. Like many of you, I faced countless sleepless nights, trying every trick in the book to help my child (and myself!) get the rest we desperately needed. The frustration and exhaustion were overwhelming, and I often found myself wishing for a guiding hand.
Determined to find a solution, I immersed myself in research and eventually discovered the Family Sleep Institute. The comprehensive training and certification process not only provided me with the tools to resolve my own children's sleep issues but also ignited a passion for helping other families navigate their sleep challenges.
As a qualified primary teacher, I bring a unique understanding of child development and learning to my practice. This background allows me to create tailored, effective sleep strategies that consider each child's individual needs and family dynamics.
My goal is to empower parents with the knowledge and support they need to foster healthy sleep habits in their children, ensuring that every family member can enjoy restful nights and brighter days.
Let's work together to transform your family's sleep and well-being!

Sleep consultancy is a professional service aimed at helping families improve their children's sleep patterns. It involves personalised advice and strategies tailored to your child's specific needs. With expert guidance, you can create a peaceful sleep environment for your little one.
The process begins with an in-depth assessment of your child's current sleep patterns. You'll complete an intake form and sleep diary prior to our consultation, which helps me understand your specific challenges. We will then have an online video consultation to discuss and address your child's sleep issues in detail. Based on the package you choose, I will create a personalised, step-by-step sleep plan tailored to your family's unique needs. You'll receive clear guidance on how to implement the plan effectively, along with daily support over the next two weeks. Together, we’ll work towards achieving restful nights for your family.
