During the two years my husband & I tried to start our family, I spent my free time researching scientific reports, respected authors & literature available on the subject of my future baby’s sleep. Truth be told, I was so scared to loose myself in a whirlwind of sleeplessness that my goal was to arm myself with everything possible to allow us as new parents to be able to all be sleeping like babies as soon as possible after I gave birth.

This journey that began as a personal challenge allowed me to discover and learn how parents are un-equipped at handling their child’s sleep by simply not knowing how a baby needs to sleep or how to support this developmental leap at the right time.

My own training was done in an unconventional way as I went into this through a self-educational journey first, followed by further formal certifications.

I initially explored what sleep training was about under two U.K based pediatric sleep trainers. With 30 years experience between them, I witnessed what science refers to by “sleep behaviour is learned”.

I became an expert in understanding the imbalances in optimal human functions, (emotional & environmental) which inhibit sleep along with scheduling secrets, developmental needs, feeding & the psychology behind baby/child sleep.

I learnt that varieties of Cry It Out methods are typically used.

These widely used methods do produce fast results but what really stood out for me?

That a “teaching” method, which aims to leave a baby (my baby!) alone to cry themselves to sleep, was not for our unique family dynamics or my personal emotional support preferences for my child or myself.

I could see that there was a gap in the market with very little resources available (or difficult to find resources) in helping guide families through respectful sleep education.

I made the decision to be this change, to help parents educate themselves while being able to re-educate their baby respectfully to in turn invite sleep back into their lives the Holistic way.

I began by using my skills on my toughest client to date and my ultimate test: My son.

From birth I set in place everything that I had been taught & began guiding him towards learning the art of sleep, on his own, based on his lead and nature’s guidance.

He was my inspiration for Babes Of Bliss, which I launched shortly thereafter.

Being a bit of a science nerd, I continuously strive to build upon my experiences since launching in early 2015 by keeping abreast with the latest, peer reviewed research around baby sleep & family, emotional wellness.

Certified as a Holistic Sleep coach (OCN London Level 5-6/Equivalent to a university degree) ,I have also completed further studies & certifications in Early Childhood Education and am also a Baby Language™ Instructor & Positive Parenting Educator, certified with DBL Institute in Sydney Australia.

I embraced the approach of marrying science with emotionally supportive parenting principals.

…and above all, I focus on working in line with the body’s natural rhythms. These are rhythms born out of our hormones, which present themselves at certain moments in early development. The developmental moments when sleep hormones begin to appear, are moments when we as parents do not need to do any kind of sleep training per-se, but instead, focus on understanding the human body’s natural sleep learning process.

It is my wish for you that with this shift in your awareness around sleep skills that you will not only see sleep as beautiful and miraculous as I do but for you to also feel the difference in your own body when you are able to sleep again too!

I specialize in family discovery and supporting emotional connection to welcome sleep.

As a Baby Listening™ (or sometimes known as Baby Language™) instructor since 2018, my BABY LISTENING™ WORKSHOPS allows me to support families from their baby’s birth, teaching parenting teams exactly how to align with a newborn’s natural rhythms. Learning this secret language of newborn babies first, helps avoid any misdirected teachings being adopted and practiced regarding sleep, feeding and emotional development later.

Following on from this, my holistic SLEEP COACHING packages are suited for families who may not have managed to practice Baby Listening™ or may need a little extra guidance during that 4th month transition period of development or beyond. From the 4th month onwards, some un-teaching and re-teaching is usually required and there may be tears (from your baby and you!) but what I love most about learning the BABY LISTENING™ language early on is that your baby can continue to use it and therefore be heard and understood, assisting families through developmental transitions up to 12 months of age.

“It’s amazing by the way that Ethan still uses the Baby Language™. I don’t hear it as pronounced like before but he still does it. I don’t know how I could’ve done the sleep coaching if I didn’t know the baby language. It helps a lot!”

Mama & Baby Listening™ graduate Jocelyn T. and her 6 month old baby.

Whether you’re a Baby Listening™ graduate family or not, I will always approach your sleep challenges as unique.

I am passionate about showing parents how to listen & decode their newborn baby’s innate power to communicate from birth when teaching BABY LISTENING™. I am just as passionate in helping older babies past that 4th month to find their groove and nature’s balance to get everyone sleeping again.

I give you all the tools you need in order to pave the way through the often confusing early childhood development periods of sleep, feeding, behaviours and beyond in all my coaching practices.

When I see the FEEDBACK from clients and personal referrals of how I have empowered mothers it gives me the confidence to know that I have been able to successfully help so many parents but more importantly…so many babies!
