I'm Charlotte,
a mother first.

I live in Shropshire with my family- partner,  two babies, one born recently in May 2024 and one not all that small anymore at 4 years old and our 10 year old dog, Nell. Above everything else I'm a mother but I'm also a teacher, and Holistic Sleep Coach, please do have a look at my qualifications below to scratch the surface of my training. Most importantly, I've been exactly where you are right now- wondering whether sleep will ever feel sustainable, wondering when the false starts and frequent night wakes will end and wanting to improve sleep but not knowing where to begin. 

​​

At 8 months old, after a period of fairly typical and somewhat settled newborn sleep, our eldest was waking almost hourly. This lasted months. I began to question everything but everywhere I looked I was told to teacher her how to sleep, that she needed to ditch the dummy and be left on her own to self-soothe. But her cries lit a fire in me and the not responding when she called was just not an option.

​

The advice I received didn't sit right in my gut so I ignored it, hoping sleep would improve. I didn't want to limit my responsiveness to my baby, I just needed a longer stint of sleep than an hour. 

​

I became fascinated with the biological side of baby and infant sleep so enrolled on the Holistic Sleep Coaching Programme and I've not looked back since. There is a vast middle ground between letting babies cry it out, and families simply waiting it out and I am here for that. Responsive, respectful sleep support fully tailored to your families specific goals and needs. I work 1:1 with families, speak at postnatal circles, facilitate in-person local consults and have founded the Shropshire Sleep Socials. I'm so proud of this offering. I am currently working on an antenatal offering for expectant parents so look out for more information on this.

​

At the core, I believe that babies, toddlers and children are whole humans, our little sleepy moon babes, and they should be treated with the same gentle kindness and understanding we would hope our very best friends would afford us. I look forward to working with you!​​​​​​
