A phone call of reassurance
I had a wonderful chat with Charlotte surrounding my daughter's sleep situation. She was patient and kind, understanding how we work and listening intently to what was and wasn't working.
Whilst we don't yet have the results, I can assure that I was put at ease and given a toolbox of information and plans to make sure we have everything we need to work on our issues going forward. She's been fabulous and was definitely a great decision. Thank you Charlotte!
We are SO glad we chose Charlotte!
We are SO glad we chose Charlotte as our sleep consultant. From the very first 15-minute phone call, I felt completely at ease! She was warm, patient & genuinely listened as she took time to understand us as a family & our routines.
Charlotte was incredibly flexible when we had to push training back due to illness & she never once made us feel rushed. She allowed us to go at our own pace while still being so supportive & encouraging at the same time! When teething hit, she was right there to guide & reassure us through it all!
She has honestly been AMAZING & we couldn’t have worked with a lovelier person. She truly is a magician! I genuinely feel like I’ve made a friend along the way.
Thanks to Charlotte, our little girl’s sleep has been transformed & we feel so much more together & settled as a family.
I will continue to sing her praises to all the mamas struggling with their little ones sleep! If you’re reading this wondering whether to choose Charlotte, let this be your sign ♥️
Charlotte you are a miracle worker
Words cannot even describe how thankful I am for all Charlotte has done for us in such a short space of time too!
Just a few weeks ago we had no evenings as a couple, were unintentionally co sleeping and feeding for comfort most of the night leaving the whole family drained.
We choose the two week package and had so much support and really had a tailored approach to improving our little one’s sleep and it always felt like Charlotte was just on the end of the phone when we needed her.
Charlotte is a truly miracle worker, thanks to her hard work (and ours) we now have a fuss free bedtime routine, he sleeps in his own cot all night and we have managed to drop night feeds too!
I honestly cannot recommend Charlotte enough for anyone struggling with sleep, it’s truly changed our lives!
Life changing experience
A huge thank you to Charlotte for transforming our little boys' sleep habits and schedule with her wonderful help over the last few weeks. Nighttime (and daily naps) have gone from a time of dread to a consistent, simple process. My wife and I couldn't recommend her enough, and we are so grateful for the difference she's made for all three of us.
Thank you Charlotte so much!
Thank you Charlotte so much!! I can’t believe the transformation we have had on the sleep front, to go from holding our baby to sleep for the majority of the night with multiple wake ups to 12 hour sleeping is incredible. We have a very happy baby every morning that is now weaning so well as she’s much happier during the day as she’s napping great too. We couldn’t have done it without the amazing support you gave and confidence to do it!!! So glad we did the sleep journey with you!!!
We could never have achieved the amazing results we have without Charlotte
I can not reccomend Charlotte enough. After following Charlotte on social media and hearing reccomendations for her support at local baby groups, it was time to take the plunge. I only wish we had done it sooner!
Charlotte's sleep knowledge is astounding, im still in disbelief at how quickly she turned our lives around. Within a week we have a perfect schedule organised and our 11 month old is sleeping for 13 hours in her cot without a peep. More shockingly to us is how in one short evening our baby, who had been fed to sleep for the entirety of her life, was happy to settle in her own cot.
The support provided was perfect, Charlotte could tell I was nervous and coached us wonderfully through the experience, continually being led by baby. From start to finish the whole process felt incredibly gentle and having Charlotte there throughout to cheer us on and tweak and change as we went on has led to a hugely successful week. Charlotte is such a lovely genuine person, her kind and understanding nature made her a perfect fit to support our family.
We could never have done this, or even got close to the results we've achieved, without Charlotte.
Just wanted to say the biggest think…
Just wanted to say the biggest think you for everything over the last 3.5 weeks!! You’ve been amazing at providing us the support we needed. We met you two broken parents, running on no sleep and at breaking point. Our 14m old was co sleeping, screaming the house down the second we went close to the cot, waking 4-5 times in the night and unable to settle herself. Now we have a 14m old going down in her cot awake, no tears & sleeping through the night 7am - 7pm. I can’t thank you enough Charlotte!! Thanks for giving us our sanity back and life! ❤️❤️❤️ xxx
massively helped my confidence
Charlotte has definitely helped with my confidence when transitioning from cot to bed with my 3 year old. She was so reassuring, kind and has great tips and tricks! 100% recommend
Charlotte is way more than just a sleep…
Charlotte is way more than just a sleep consultant. She’s a friend you never knew you needed, she listened and made sure the plan was unique and tailored to us and Ezra.
I reached out to Charlotte just before Ezra’s 1st birthday as I couldn’t see the light… we were co-sleeping, feeding every 45mins-an hour all night. Didn’t stay in the same room as my partner for 6 months. I was not a nice person to be around due to the sleep deprivation, I felt like this was going to be my life forever and we would never sleep again.
She reassured me straight away and made me feel at ease, she was so easy to talk to. She listened and tailored a plan for Ezra. I never felt any pressure to buy anything from her she was just happy to help and give advice.
We started with the 3 week plan and we slowly got Ezra to be able to independently fall asleep, I’m amazed at how far he came so quickly without leaving his side, no crying it out. Charlotte was so adaptable with us as Ezra became ill twice in our 3 week package with a cold and chicken pox!
She didn’t give up on us and made sure we got our goal in the end!
Ezra is now sleeping all night on his own, we feed, cuddle then he’s goes into his cot and goes to sleep. He’s now able to fall asleep in his cot for day naps too, which is incredible. He much happier in the day as he’s actually get some solid sleep! He’s like a different child and I can’t thank Charlotte enough for that!
She’s worth the money and so much more. You will not regret taking the leap, it’s changed our lives ❤️
Thankyou Charlotte!
Best decision ever!
Charlotte is an invaluable source of knowledge and support!
We reached out to Charlotte when our 10 month old little boy was waking every hour throughout the night and would be awake some times for hours on end despite us rocking / feeding him. Myself and my partner were completely exhausted and drained.
After our initial conversation with Charlotte we felt confident that she was the right fit for us! She was incredibly warm and kind and we felt so reassured by her. Having the Whatsapp group chat was excellent as Charlotte replied so quickly every time and was always there for advice and guidance.
We would have never had the confidence to sleep train him on our own but having Charlotte there every step of the way gave us the confidence and tools to implement this which has been life changing!
We are so thankful to Charlotte and would recommend her to anyone!
I am so grateful for Charlotte’s advice…
I am so grateful for Charlottes advice and can’t reccomend her enough. Even with just a few small changes post a call with Charlotte we have seen such a difference with our 11 month olds sleep. Charlotte is personable and easy to talk to, super knowledgable and so so helpful and I would definitely recommend getting in touch with her for support. Thanks again Charlotte!
Charlotte was amazing help from start…
Charlotte was amazing help from start to finish. I never thought in a million years my daughter would be sleeping in her own bed but with the help and guidance from Charlotte that’s exactly what we got. Charlotte was so easy to talk to and understanding and I would always highly recommend her to anyone thinking of sleep training
Charlotte is a sleep angel
Charlotte is a sleep angel! Kind, calm, so knowledgable about the science of sleep - we felt so at ease from the moment we spoke to her.
Our 1 year old was being rocked to sleep, using a dummy, and then waking multiple times in the night crying with constant 5am morning wakes. After an initial conversation, we agreed to remove the dummy first, then try teaching self-soothing.
With Charlotte’s guidance and reassurance we had amazing results. The dummy was forgotten about in 48hrs and he was asleep within 30mins the first night, 7mins the next and never longer than that any night after. Plus, he was sleeping right through with only one or two grumbles. By the time we had finished our 2 weeks, he was rolling over to sleep, zero crying and even managed to wake at 6.15am! Magic!
We couldn’t have got here without Charlotte and will forever be grateful for her so gently guiding us through to sleep.
Highly recommend Charlotte
From the first call, Charlotte was so understanding to our situation with our daughter. There was no doubt she was the right fit for our family.
Over the last few weeks, she has made the process so easy and has been a great support on both the sleep front but also life in general raising 2 small little people. Charlotte invests so much time in her business and truly deserves all the best things to happen. For anyone who is unsure about whether to get a sleep expert….my biggest regret was that I didn’t do it sooner. We went from 4/5 wakes a night to now none and 11/12 hours sleep for our daughter. Charlotte is the best and I feel lucky to now call her a friend also.
Friendly & Approachable
Charlotte is very friendly, approachable and very passionate about her job, which is amazing. I attended one of the webinars that Charlotte hosted and it was full of useful information and could ask any questions at the end. I will definitely be attending more in the future.
There is no doubt that Charlotte is the Queen of sleep 👑
Once again deciding to purchase a sleep package with Charlotte was the BEST decision we made for our family.
Having used Charlotte for our now 4 year old when he was 1 we knew as soon as we could we would go back to Charlotte for our new baby.
As soon as he was 6 month old I reached out to Charlotte.
I’m someone who likes routine and to be in control as much as I can. We have busy lifestyle and I wanted and needed as much structure as possible.
Charlotte as always listened to our needs and guided us daily to achieve this.
Always on hand when we had questions and suggesting tweaks when needed.
We now have a 7 month old baby who sleeps in his own room , has 3 good naps a day , no more cat naps , self settles and then sleeps the night through only waking for a feed once if he needs it.
We cannot thank Charlotte enough.
There is no doubt that Charlotte is the queen of sleep 👑 xx
Friendly & helpful
Charlottes webinar on longer stretches in the night was a great help to break down the possible reasons and identify what it was for us. Charlotte was very friendly and knowledgeable, and helped each person on the call with their circumstances and questions. It was good on the call to hear of other people’s situations and know you’re not alone!
Amazing expertise and such a kind lady
Charlotte has given great advice for the sleep challenges we’ve been facing. She took the time to understand our sleep goals and tailored her advice accordingly, rather than a one size fits all approach, which was really refreshing. I’ve worked with Charlotte 121 and attended a webinar - the latter of which was incredibly well laid out, carefully structured and packed with amazing advice. She’s always been very generous with her time and wisdom, and is clearly an exceptionally kind and considerate person. Thank you so much Charlotte for all your help!
A Life-Changing Experience
A Life-Changing Experience – Thank You, Charlotte!
Working with Charlotte has been nothing short of transformative for our family. Before we found her, my husband and I were overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure of how to help our baby get the rest she needed. From our very first conversation, Charlotte brought a sense of calm, expertise, and reassurance that we desperately needed.
Through her guidance and training, we now feel so much more confident in managing our daughter’s sleep. Charlotte provided us with a clear, personalized plan and was there every step of the way to support us, answer questions, and adjust as needed. Her approach is both compassionate and effective—no harsh methods, just a deep understanding of babies, sleep patterns, and what works for each unique family.
The improvement in our daughter’s sleep has been amazing, but just as important is how much better we’re sleeping too! We finally have restful nights, a predictable routine, and the peace of mind that we’re supporting our baby in the best way possible.
Charlotte is a true expert and a kind, supportive presence—we are beyond grateful for her help and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any tired parent out there. She’s made such a difference in our lives!
If you are looking for a friendly, understanding and effective sleep consultant, look no further
There are so many reasons why Charlotte is an amazing sleep consultant and I would highly recommend her if you are having sleep challenges with your little one. I bought Charlotte's 3 week sleep package and not only was it worth it, Charlotte went above and beyond, building up my confidence again and helping my little one sleep more soundly and nap better during the day.
I reached out to Charlotte when my 6.5 month old son was waking for 1.5/2hrs in the middle of the night, waking at 5am and I was unsure whether to follow wake windows as I was using the Pampers App. I attended her webinar and quickly realised that her methods matched my parenting style and signed up for her support. Charlotte was understanding and listened without judgement, offering suggestions and working with me to find solutions that felt right for us. She was kind and caring and with the package, offered daily check ins and was always available for advice.
I can't thank Charlotte enough - she gave me the confidence back to trust my gut and move away from over-relying on an app. She helped me work out a better and more consistent routine during the day, including teaching me that a 15 minute bridging nap was what my little one needed to get him through to bedtime. My little one now settles quickly, sleeps independently and I am no longer pacing, bouncing and despairing for hours in the dark. My son still wakes 1/2 times during the night for feeding, but I feel happy that he has all the tools to help him self settle and we're on our way to him sleeping through when he's ready.
If you are looking for a friendly, understanding and effective sleep consultant, look no further - not only is Charlotte amazing value, but you'll feel like you've gained a wonderful mummy friend also.
