My Approach

The Sleep Sociologist Method

Each night, your child's sleep data comes straight to me. Every day, the plan adjusts to what actually happened, not what a generic timeline predicted. Daily consults, six days a week, for up to four weeks, with your child (over 6 months) consistently sleeping through the night.

Sleep is rarely just about sleep.

If your baby or child is waking often, resisting bedtime, feeding through the night, or only settling one very specific way, there is usually more going on than a “sleep problem”. My approach looks at the full picture so we can make sense of what is happening and change it in a way that is realistic, responsive and sustainable.

A whole-picture lens

I work from the understanding that children’s sleep is shaped by far more than age and routines.

Biology matters. Temperament matters. Feeding matters. So do development, family dynamics, maternal mental load, capacity, support, and the pressure modern parents are under every single day.

I look at the patterns, the context, and the practical realities of your family life. Then we focus on the adjustments that will actually get you lasting change.

What support may involve

Depending on your child and your circumstances, support may include:

  • Understanding what is driving your child’s sleep disruption

  • Looking at feeding, hunger, and night waking patterns

  • Reviewing naps, bedtime, and daily rhythm

  • Working with your child’s temperament and regulation needs

  • Reducing battles around settling, cot transfers, or bedtime

  • Making sense of early rising, split nights, or frequent wakes

  • Supporting a responsive approach with clearer boundaries

  • Helping both parents feel more aligned and confident

  • Creating a solution that fits real family life

What this work can help you achieve

For babies over 6 months, the goal is sleeping through the night, smoother more consistent naps, and a sense of reconnection with yourself, your baby, and your partner.

More broadly, I help create calmer evenings, more predictable nights, less second-guessing, and a clearer understanding of what your child needs. I give you ongoing practical support, realistic strategies, and a flexible plan that evolves and responds to your child’s needs as we work together.

The Truth

Modern parenting asks families to do an extraordinary job with very little support. Parents are expected to raise children responsively, function on broken sleep, absorb endless advice, and somehow stay calm, informed, and productive through it all.

No wonder sleep can feel so overwhelming. No wonder everything can start to feel harder.

A better way forward

You do not need more noise, more guilt, or another rigid method that ignores your baby, your values, or your life.

You need clear thinking, honest guidance, and an approach that respects both the science and the reality of raising small children.
