-Are frequent night wakings leaving the family feeling exhausted?
-Does your child have unique sensory, emotional or developmental needs that make sleep more challenging?

-Does your child seem anxious, unsettled and need reassurance around sleep and bedtime?
-Are you feeling unsure about how much sleep your baby needs during the day and night?

Find the Root.
Restore Sleep.
Rebuild Confidence.
Hi, I’m Catherine,
A certified infant and child sleep consultant with specialist training in autism, sensory and anxiety-informed sleep support, offering a gentle, connection-based approach to sleep.
With over 25 years experience managing early years settings and supporting families, I bring extensive knowledge of child development, emotional wellbeing and responsive care into every family I support.
I hold a BA Hons in Childhood Studies, qualified in Special Educational Needs and Montessori education, allowing me to create personalised, child-centred sleep support that respects each childs unique needs, temperament and development.
As a mother of two neurodivergent sons, I also bring personal, lived experience to my approach. One of my sons experienced significant sleep and anxiety challenges, which deepened my understanding of how overwhelming and isolating sleep struggles can feel. That journey is what drives my passion to support parents who may feel exhaustion and disrupted sleep have become ‘the norm’.
My Approach
Blends evidence-based sleep guidance and Montessori principles with the understanding formed through my Root to Rest Method of connecting rhythm, environment and trust.
I believe healthy sleep grows from strong foundations and connecting each branch of growth with my understanding of child development, neurodiversity and emotional wellbeing we can create a calmer path to rest that will support the whole family.
Why Families Choose Me?
As a parent myself, I understand the exhaustion and emotions that come with sleepless nights. My advice is shaped by both professional knowledge and real-life experience with my own children.
I work with both neurotypical and neurodivergent children, offering an evidence-based, relationship-led, gradual approach that provides personalised support tailored to each child’s individual needs, development and sensory profile, helping families build strong foundations for restful sleep in a way that feels respectful. realistic and sustainable.
At the heart of my approach is the Root to Rest Method - a thoughtful framework I created to support sleep growth from the roots up, through understanding and trust, connecting each of the four branches to build key foundations of restful sleep.
Sitting at the centre of my work this approach is designed to support every child as an individual, within a calm, prepared environment, going beyond routines and creating a more thoughtful, personalised and respectful guidance that nurtures each child’s emotional, sensory and developmental needs, whilst supporting independence and wellbeing of the family as a whole.
