Registered Nurse & PGcHSc Perinatal Mental Health
Infant & Child Sleep | Feeding & Tube Weaning Specialist
Christchurch, NZ
Little Sleep Coach offers a holistic approach, with specialist support for infant and child sleep, feeding, tube weaning and perinatal wellbeing
happier children, happier families
Becoming a parent can be wonderful, exhausting, overwhelming — and sometimes all of those things at once.
When your baby isn't sleeping, feeding is difficult, or you simply don't feel confident about what to do next, it can affect much more than bedtime or mealtimes.
It can affect your confidence, your wellbeing and the whole family. You may feel overwhelmed and unsure which advice to follow.
At Little Sleep Coach, I look at the bigger picture. I take the time to understand your child, your family and what you're experiencing as a parent.
As a Registered Nurse with postgraduate training in Perinatal Mental Health, I provide practical, individualised support for infants, toddlers and children up to five years — with specialist support in sleep, feeding and tube weaning.
Because supporting your child also means supporting you.

personalised support for your child and family
Every child and family is different. I take the time to understand your child's sleep, feeding, temperament, development and individual needs, as well as your family's circumstances and parenting style.
From this, I develop practical, individualised strategies that are realistic for your family, with ongoing support to help you feel confident putting them into place.
Whether you have a baby, toddler or child up to five years old, my approach is always centred around the wellbeing of your child and your family.
