About me
Hi there, I’m Madi. Certified holistic infant sleep consultant. My approach is holistic and family-centred. I look at your whole unique family context, including your baby's temperament, unique needs, development & nutrition, any medical concerns affecting sleep that may require referral to a specialist; the emotional well-being of the entire family, the sleep environment, sleep history & current routines, as well as your goals & expectations. I will help you to regain your intuition, involving you in decision-making rather than just telling you what to do, taking all family members into account and respecting your choices.

Frequently asked questions
Can you work with multiples and or siblings?
Absolutely. Got more than one babe keeping you up at night? Get in touch and we can put together a package to suit your family’s individual circumstances.
Will there be tears?
Yes. Change can be hard and while I do not promote cry it out, or any type of separation based techniques it would be unrealistic to expect to make changes to your baby’s sleep without some tears. None of us like to hear our little ones cry but it is ok. It’s the way in which we respond to the crying that is important.
Can you guarantee this will get us more sleep?
I can never guarantee that your baby will be sleeping through and nailing naps after working with me. Whilst I often do have clients that have completely transformed their child’s sleep within weeks we have to remember that all babies are unique. What I can guarantee is after working together you will have a better understanding of:
what is biologically normal
your child’s unique sleep needs
managed expectations and realistic goals for your little one’s sleep
simple tips tricks and tools to better navigate your days and nights
The confidence to trust your intuition and the knowledge that YOU are in-fact YOUR baby’s expert
What happens if my baby gets sick during our support period?
We want your baby well, especially while making changes to the way they settle to sleep. Quite often we’re making BIG changes which comes with BIG emotions, and to best support these we need your baby healthy. If your little one becomes unwell during your support period we simply pause and reconvene when they’re feeling better.
Do you work with older children?
Yes! I work with children aged 0-5 years. Having been through all those years with my own children I know just how difficult each stage can be. So if you have an older child who’s still struggling with bedtime battles I’m your girl!
