Home Visiting

As parents of young babies and children, you are confronted with enormous conflicting advice in regard to settling your baby and the normal expectations of sleeping.

Crying is a normal part of development. Crying is a distress signal whilst at the same time relieves the baby of tension. It’s physiological purpose is to attract attention to a need. However it sometimes develops an energy of its own and then needs to be managed and contained.

Persistent crying and sleep problems are common. The two most common problems parents contact me about are advice and assistance with excessive unsettled behaviour and sleep difficulties.

Absolutely everyone has an opinion about how you should handle sleep issues with your baby and child. The danger this imposes to a new parent is that these opinions of misguided advice can truly have a negative effect on your parenting skills.

My objective is to educate and empower parents to understand the psychology of sleep and the importance of a settled baby. I will empower you with the knowledge, tools and strategies you needed to implement normal and age relevant sleep patterns which in turn will induce harmonious balance.

My goal is to provide an individual plan of management suited to mother and baby’s or child’s needs and to work closely in achieving a successful, workable and realistic outcome.
