About Me
Hi, I’m Barbara,
As a qualified Infant Sleep Consultant, trained through The Sleep Consultant Academy, I am passionate about helping families find gentle, responsive sleep solutions that respect both their child's needs and the parent-child connection.
My passion for infant sleep began long before my professional training. As a mum to my daughter, I experienced first-hand the challenges that can come with early sleep difficulties. During her first months, she struggled with colic and was a particularly sensitive baby. She often became easily overwhelmed by changes in her environment and needed extra support to feel calm and secure.
Like many parents, I spent countless hours researching sleep, development, and responsive approaches, searching for ways to support her while protecting the connection we shared. Through patience, consistency, and evidence-based gentle methods tailored to her individual temperament, she gradually began sleeping for longer stretches at night from around 10 weeks old.
That experience taught me that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to sleep. Sensitive babies often need a different level of understanding and support, and that belief remains at the heart of my work today.
Throughout my career in childcare and childminding, I have worked closely with many families and children, including highly sensitive little ones who needed additional reassurance, patience, and personalised support. I learned that every child responds differently to change, sleep, and daily routines, and that understanding a child's unique temperament is often key to helping them thrive.
Supporting these children strengthened my passion for helping families find sleep solutions that are gentle, realistic, and tailored to their child's individual needs.
At Nurture & Night, I specialize in supporting sensitive babies and toddlers with compassionate, personalized sleep guidance. I believe sleep support should never come at the expense of connection, and my goal is to help families achieve better sleep while maintaining the strong, secure bonds that matter most.
Whether you're navigating frequent night wakings, bedtime struggles, short naps, or sleep challenges linked to sensitivity, I am here to support you with understanding, encouragement, and practical solutions tailored to your family.
