Before contacting Kristy, my partner and I were feeling helpless and exhausted. Our 2 1/2 year old daughter had been a difficult sleeper from birth and we could count on one hand the number of times she had slept through the night!

We felt like we had tried everything. As bedtime approached I would find myself feeling anxious and full of dread. It had become so bad it would take us over an hour to get her to sleep, often ending in myself or my partner falling asleep in her bed and then creeping out.

She would also wake constantly during the night and by the early morning we would find ourselves giving up the fight and just putting her into bed with us.

I contacted Kristy completely desperate! She was an absolute joy and made us feel completely at ease! Our entire communication was done via email or phone and the process felt effortless. She listened, understood and I never once felt judged.

After just 5 days on Kristy's customised program, our tiny terror was putting herself to sleep, staying in her bed all night and waking happy! I can’t thank Kristy enough for everything she has done for us! I no longer have any anxiety before bedtime and more importantly my partner and I now have our sanity and bed back. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Kristy. Rachel and Issy xx

Prior to the birth of our baby girl I was desperate to arm myself with as much information and training as I could in two areas: breastfeeding and sleep! I found that there was so much information and support out there for breastfeeding but really struggled to find anything antenatally on sleep. I ended up going to a general information night on sleep that really wasn't specific to newborns. Therefore, I got little out of it. Looking back, I wish I had found Kristy and got her to do a home consult!! Getting her to do a consult prior would have really set things up for a positive start for our baby when it came to sleep.

The first few weeks of parenthood I thought we had a dream baby though. She slept and fed, slept and fed. Then around weeks 4-5 things changed and she started getting really windy, unhappy and wasn’t sleeping at all during the day! I could tell that she wasn’t getting enough sleep and was concerned that she only seemed to be able to be settled through breastfeeding. It was hard on my husband too who was feeling helpless and constantly handing her to me saying “I think she needs to be fed”. I would reply with “She can’t possibly, but I will try again”. Something had to change. I decided to act now, put some hard work in to sleep training with Kristy and hope that it would make for a brighter and happier future for our little girl and our whole family.

Kristy helped us break some unhelpful sleep associations by creating more positive ones for us and our baby. She educated us on what our babies needs were and ways we could settle her without feeding her to sleep. This in turn meant I no longer had a windy baby and my happy little girl was back!! My husband and I were so much better for it too. Something as little as knowing that at 6.30pm she was off to bed and I could sit down and have a glass of wine was a big relief - after fighting to put her down for hours before this. She would go down with much less fuss each time and wake up happier too. Keeping a log for Kristy was hard but the most beneficial part of the experience. It helped us to commit to what needed to be done and get great feedback and support.

One other thing that I was so grateful for was how gentle and encouraging Kristy was. She picked up on my anxieties, whether about feeding, crying or using a dummy etc, and gently supported me through it. She did this through educating me about why and helping me decide what I felt comfortable doing or not doing (without trying to force something on me or making me feel guilty).

Thank you Kristy I know that we have created some positive and strong foundations for our baby girl when it comes to sleep, and we have such a happy, healthier baby for it!!

I can honestly say that working with Kristy has been LIFE CHANGING!

Prior to contacting Kristy our daughter was held to sleep for every sleep, she had 40min naps only and was waking anywhere from 2-10 times a night, requiring us to rock her back to sleep or we would eventually just put her into bed with us out of pure desperation! She was cranky and unhappy and so were we!

Kristy gave us the knowledge, confidence and support to use gentle sleep techniques to assist us in reaching our sleep goals! After a couple of days our daughter was independently putting herself to sleep in her cot, having longer day naps and sleeping through the night! We cannot thank Kristy enough!

We didn't realise how draining it was rocking our 12 month old baby or singing to him for hours every night. If we knew that by slightly adjusting his sleep times, adding to his diet and helping to teach our baby how to self settle within a couple of days it would change our life. If only we did this 6 months ago!
