The Beginnings...

Hi, I’m Nicola—a self-confessed sleep enthusiast, organisation lover, and avid ‘to-do’ list writer. Most importantly, I’m a mother to two incredible children—one neuro-spicy, one not so much!

Before diving into the world of sleep support, I had the privilege of working as a Paediatric Nurse at the world-renowned Royal Brompton Hospital in London. I cared for infants, children, and their families following a diagnosis of cardiac disease—a deeply fulfilling and meaningful career. After becoming a mother, I decided to trade the bright lights, scrubs, and fast-paced hospital life for something quieter and closer to home.

Well… so I thought!

Lived Experience

Like so many new mums, I found myself sleep-deprived and constantly second-guessing my instincts. I soon realized I wasn’t alone—there were so many others navigating the same overwhelming advice and uncertainty. The more I learned about biologically normal infant sleep, the more I understood that we could work with our babies’ needs rather than against them. I started trusting my instincts, questioning the mainstream narrative, and seeking evidence-based solutions.

At first, my focus was simply on my own sleep—how much I was getting (or not getting!), why it mattered so much, and how I could improve it.

Helping families thrive

And so, here I am! A mum who has been in the trenches of sleepless nights, now an Infant & Child Sleep Practitioner—offering guidance, support, and a listening ear. With my background in paediatric nursing, I bring a wealth of knowledge, empathy, and up-to-date, science-backed advice to help families find a sleep approach that truly works for them.

Motherhood hasn’t always been straightforward or what I expected, and I’m sure the teenage years will bring their own surprises! But through the challenges, I’ve learned that ‘perfect’ sleep isn’t a fixed destination—just like happiness, it’s a journey with ups and downs.

I’ve chosen connection over convention, trusting my instincts amidst the noise of mainstream parenting advice. Most importantly, I’ve embraced parenting in a way that feels right for me.
