About me

Hi there, I'm Jill

I'm a certified sleep consultant, former early years practitioner, and mum of two, with over seven years' experience helping families create calmer, more connected bedtimes.

I specialise in supporting toddlers and preschoolers aged 18 months to 5 years through gentle, personalised sleep support that works with your parenting values, not against them.

Every child is different, which is why I don't believe in one-size-fits-all advice. Instead, I use my signature Five STARS Framework to create practical, tailored solutions that help families move from bedtime battles to calm, connected evenings.

My own journey...

Although I'd spent years working with children in early years, nothing prepared me for the sleep struggles I faced with my own family.

From the moment my daughter was born, sleep was a challenge. After a traumatic birth, reflux, and colic, our whole family was exhausted. Bedtime became the hardest part of the day, and despite trying everything I could find, nothing seemed to work. Much of the advice I came across left me feeling more confused and questioning whether I was doing something wrong.

When I finally reached out for support, I found a gentle, personalised approach that completely changed our family life. Bedtime became calmer, evenings felt more connected, and I finally felt confident in supporting my children's sleep.

That experience inspired me to train as a certified sleep consultant so I could help other families find the same relief.

For the past seven years, I've had the privilege of supporting countless families through bedtime challenges using a connection-based approach that protects the parent-child relationship while creating lasting change.

Today, my mission is simple: to help exhausted parents create calmer, more connected bedtimes without cry-it-out methods, so they can end each day feeling confident, connected, and able to enjoy their evenings again.

"What was distinct with Jill was the emotional and behavioural coaching she provided. It really helped us set boundaries with our toddler and overall the sleep and emotional coaching has made him such a happier toddler with minimal tantrums. I have already recommended Jill to family and friends who may need the help."
