I can’t recommend Charlotte highly enough, and we are so grateful for all of the support and advice she has given us!

I was anxious about approaching a sleep consultant through fear or cry it out methods, and being told to stop breast feeding.
Charlotte immediately made me feel at ease as her knowledge and passion for what she does were clear from the outset, and she reassured me that better sleep could be achieved without implementing either of those things.
Amazingly after only a couple of nights my 15 month old was sleeping through the night, going to sleep happily in his cot at bed time and for naps, and our 5am wake ups are also now a thing of the past.
Charlotte is incredibly supportive and guides you every step of the way, and gave us the confidence to embrace the changes she suggested, which have produced results better than we could have ever hoped!
We are so grateful to Charlotte and just wish we had contacted her earlier!
If anyone is unsure I would absolutely encourage you to go for it.

Charlotte was such an amazing help, definitely couldn’t have got my baby sleeping in his cot without her guidance and encouragement!
Truly grateful, baby went from co-sleeping and waking 4/5 times a night, to sleeping in his cot and only wakes once some nights and has now slept through!

We cannot thank Charlotte enough! Our 9-month-old, who had only ever co-slept and contact-napped since birth, is now sleeping through the night and taking naps in his cot—something we never imagined possible before working with her.

Charlotte’s support, knowledge, and guidance have been invaluable every step of the way. The positive impact on our baby, myself, and our whole family has been truly life-changing. I would recommend her to anyone struggling with sleep—it was worth every penny!

Charlotte is truly an inspirational and generous person. She recently gave up her own free time to offer a free support session for struggling parents dealing with early wake-ups—something I’ve never come across before, even after working with infant sleep consultants in the past!

Her webinar was incredibly insightful, packed with expert advice and a detailed presentation that made everything easy to understand. Speaking with Charlotte gave us the confidence to make changes to our bedtime routine, and after struggling for over six months with our 3-year-old’s sleep, we are beyond thrilled—he is now sleeping through the night and waking between 6-7 AM!

I can’t recommend Charlotte enough. If you’re facing sleep challenges with your little one, she is absolutely the person to turn to!

Thank you again :)

Charlotte has been a life/sleep saver & amazing!! Iv been to a few sleep consultants and It just didn’t work for me. My little 1 was waking for hours at a time at night and several times. Charlotte explained everything to me in detail sent me this incredible insightful handbook, which really explained I guess the science behind sleep & how it works with our little 1s brains & some great example schedules to follow suited to your needs. There was no pressure into anything, she made me feel so comfortable and she was so sweet and empathetic. She has 2 little 1s & has been through it so really understands & that helps. There was no cry out methods which I had ptsd from with my 1st boy with another lady. I think she’s so great price wise compared to others iv had so I really felt I struck gold with price, empathy, understanding & knowledge!! If you’re thinking about booking stop & book now!! I’m now on night 2 of sleep through and naps now I have a routine and he self soothes himself to sleep with no crying. I love the fact too she understands life gets in the way, like nursery and work days and family days out etc so she has the answers for them days and disturbances and how to cope and deal with it..! Thank you so much xx

The calls I had were extremely helpful. The guide was also so useful and I’ll be using that as my baby grows to help me with the transitions. Thank you so much!!

We contacted Charlotte after having a really tough six weeks with our 10month old baby. She was taking anything up to three hours to go to bed and was often really upset and making herself vomit. She then wouldn't sleep through and was up multiple times a night.
Charlotte really understood our struggles and understood our daughter's potential needs for new sleep routines and consistency. Charlotte has really listened to us throughout and guided us with processes that we were comfortable with. The support has been amazing and we never felt alone in dealing with the struggles and new routines. We are on week two now and our daughter is doing amazingly. Bed times are now on average 10 mins and she is going to bed calm and happy. She is sleeping through until the morning and wakes with a smile every day. The change in her is incredible and the affect on us as parents is amazing. We have a really good plan and are consistent with it and the results speak for themselves. Charlotte has been so wonderful and we are so thankful. Would definitely recommend.

After meeting Charlotte at a baby class and talking to her about some of the sleep issues we were having with Albie such as him waking up multiple times in the night, not wanting to sleep in his cot and not settling well on me either of a nighttime, she gave so much advice. I followed her Instagram and kept seeing all these other mums have such great success with the courses, I kept thinking about booking on and spoke to my partner about it. One night at 3am I decided I couldn’t keep going on with such minimal sleep and being back at work, it wasn’t healthy for myself or Albie. I was worried he wasn’t getting enough sleep for his own development and growth, I messaged Charlotte that morning, she replied so quickly and I booked onto the 3 week course
Throughout the duration of the course Charlotte has been so supportive, always answers any questions I have with detail to help us better understand how to best support Albie with his sleep needs. Charlotte’s nap guides are amazing, they have so much information and are so helpful to read and I often refer back to just to refresh my memory, me and my partner have both read though them, I even have them saved on my phone so I can easily access them
We can’t thank Charlotte enough for all her help. Charlotte is always checking in and asking how we are. The amount of care she has shown to my whole family is just incredible, the last few weeks have changed our lives, it’s been like speaking to a friend everyday! Albie is now sleeping through the night and is napping in his cot. It’s so reassuring that we know Albie is getting the right amount of sleep he needs! I can’t believe the difference in such a short space of time. I didn’t think these kinds of results would happen so quickly, every time Albie’s goes down for a nap or at bedtime I’m in awe of how he has learnt to self soothe so quickly, we are so proud of how much he has learnt and I know Charlotte is too!
We couldn’t have done it without you Charlotte, you are truly an amazing person and we are forever grateful to you!
Thank you!!

We approached Charlotte after a recommendation from a friend. We’d hit rock bottom after months of constant night wakings and only contact naps during the day. We were desperate for help and had already had advice from another sleep consultant several months previously, we were therefore skeptical that another sleep consultant would be able to fix our 9 month insomniac night owl. We felt we had created a (cute little) monster who wouldn’t sleep when clearly tired and had somehow managed to contact nap on mummy during the day and daddy at night, draining us both to exhaustion. We just didn’t know how to get her to sleep in her cot, not be fed to sleep let alone be in her nursery and nap in the day.
From the initial call with Charlotte we felt heard for the first time. She understood the situation and our concerns, she worked with us to create a tailored sleep plan for us our baby’s temperament and our lifestyle that was both realistic & achievable. We went with the 3 week program and it was the best spend we’d made to date! Worth every penny.
After implementing Charlottes recommendations our baby slept uninterrupted in her cot in her nursery for 12 hours for the first time ever! By the end of the 3 weeks she was day napping in her cot. And we haven’t look back since.

We were in disbelief! We were told some babies just don’t sleep and that included health visitors and midwives! We had felt our situation was hopeless.

We found Charlotte to be genuine, down to earth, honest, and incredibly supportive and flexible. What made the experience easier was the friendly personable approach of Charlotte and her realtime guidance throughout.

Not only did she get us to the stage of being able to put baby to bed, who now just falls asleep with zero fuss. She’s empowered us as parents and we feel more in tune with our baby’s sleep needs.

Charlotte is clearly passionate about what she does and is excellent at it! We can’t thank her enough and wish we’d found her sooner.

Thanks Charlotte

We recently signed up to a package with Charlotte and she has transformed my life in 7 days!

Huxley is 13 months old and breastfed, he had got into a pattern of being fed to sleep, being fed at every wake up, and feeding every 2 hours all through the night. I was struggling to function in my full-time job and also being a present Mum for him and his 2.5yr old sister.

I knew I needed something to change but wasn’t sure where to start and didn’t feel brave enough to try. Huxley is breastfed on demand and I had visions of him crying for hours on end and me depriving him of comfort. I thought I’d be in for a very rocky week, I even booked annual leave to catch up on sleep that I thought I’d lose.

How wrong I was!

Charlotte was with me every step of the way, messaging me all throughout the process, giving me bespoke advice and tips. I’d let her know the daytime nap and she’d tell me what time to put Huxley to bed accordingly. It felt like we were tackling it together and Charlotte reassured and supported me so much. I don’t think I would have had the confidence to do it alone and we probably would have just continued to co-sleep and me get a terrible sleep every night.

Within the first night we started to see improvements, Huxley was learning how to fall asleep on his own and consolidate his sleep cycles. I couldn’t believe it. At the start I fed twice a night, Huxley quickly dropped this to once a night within a few days, and within 6 days he didn’t even wake for a feed. On his 7th day he slept for 12 hours!

I knew Charlotte was good because I’d seen all of her reviews, but I genuinely thought it wouldn’t work for my child. If you are on the fence about trying it, I would really recommend a chat with Charlotte, it’s the best money I ever spent and I’m going to work today feeling refreshed!

Charlotte was first recommended to me when I was speaking to a close friend of mine explaining how exhausted I was both mentally and emotionally of my 8 month old not sleeping. He wasn’t sleeping well at all in the day or night and had to be attached to me 24/7 or would be constantly crying and wanted to be breastfed every hour. The only suggestions that were made to me by outsiders, was to ‘stop breastfeeding’ which I wasn’t ready to do yet, and didn’t feel was the right solution for me and my son.
My friend then said that a friend of hers had used an amazing sleep consultant called Charlotte and she gave me her number, which I’ll be forever grateful for her doing.
When I got in touch with Charlotte, she got back to me very promptly and was very warm kind and helpful. We spoke on the phone shortly afterwards where she was interested to find out my situation and what was going on sleep wise. I knew from that minute that I wanted to use her and that she was going to be the person to help me sort my child’s sleep out. Charlotte offered me a lot of advice and was not pressuring in terms of me purchasing a package with her, she ran through everything that her package offers and what one she thought would be best for my child, while also reassuring me that we would only do what I was comfortable with doing with my son.
Charlottes approach was very structured and tailored to suit my son and after the first week he went from co sleeping and being up every 20 minutes in the night to be comfort fed - to sleeping in his cot independently in another room and only getting up once for a feed in the night (which is what I was happy to still keep, Charlotte did say we could cut this one out if you liked, but I was happy to keep this still, which she was very supportive of and gave me to tools to be able to cut it out once he is a bit older). By the second week, my son also was able to sleep in his cot independently for his daytime naps which completely changed my life, especially as I have a 22 month old son also which I found extremely difficult to juggle with Hartley needing to be attached to me all day.
My little boy now sleeps 12 hours every single night and absolutely loves his sleep, and even smiles when I put him down in his cot and barely even cries when he’s placed in there.
Charlotte has completely changed my life. I feel better in myself physically as I am less tired and able to do more with my children in the day as I’m not exhausted from being up all night and daytime. My son is also happier because he’s getting the right amount of sleep that he needs and no longer whingeing all day because he’s overtired. I’m also able to go back and work because not only has Charlotte helped me with the sleep and him being able to be settled by my partner and other family members, she has also helped me wean off the breastfeeding in the day so that he’s only fed before bedtime, once in the night and in the morning which is what I was comfortable in doing. Charlotte has been there every single day as and when I need her to offer support and always checked on how I was doing. She is also very good at thinking on her feet and coming up with solutions to any issues you are having. I would recommend Charlotte to anyone that is having any sleep problems with their children because she’s absolutely amazing, she’s kind and caring, but also an absolute expert in anything sleep related. So if you are a breastfeeding mum, it is possible to still get your baby into a structured sleep and still breastfeed without having to give it up with Charlottes guidance and support. She has taught me so much about sleep and how it all works which has given me the confidence going forward with my son, if you are in the situation I was in with your child I would 100% recommend Charlotte.

Charlotte really takes time to listen to your problems, before creating a really bespoke and personalised plan on how to move forwards. I truly was at mental health break point before getting help from Charlotte, to be honest I was skeptical whether I’d ever sleep again after so many people saying ‘oh maybe he’s just a child that will never sleep’ but Charlotte has proven everyone absolutely wrong. We’ve gone from 6/7 wakes a night to just one, I feel like a new woman and ready to give my all everyday, allowing me to be a better mum and employee. Charlotte is the best money I’ve ever spent and I will forever sing her praises. She’s been ears listening when I have been at my lowest, a positive energy on the end of the phone whenever needed. Thank you so much Charlotte for giving us the confidence to be in control of our little boys sleep. Our family are all so grateful that our paths crossed. Thank you x

I first met Charlotte at a mum & baby group and was interested to hear her advice and learn more about how a sleep consultant could help me as I never really knew what or how important sleep training is.

We spoke a few times after that and I always knew I was going to use Charlotte, I just needed the right time.

After a few months a house move and long haul holiday my son’s sleep habits and naps were all over the place I knew I needed some help and guidance.

After chatting through many times probably asking every question possible I bit the bullet and purchased a three week package with the end goal of my son sleeping in his own room and sorting out a good nap schedule.

Before we kicked off the package Charlotte managed our expectations and made us aware of what could happen within the three weeks. This instantly made me reassured as I knew from the get go what I ‘could’ encounter along the way.

When we started I was so nervous as it was a big change for both me and my son after co-sleeping for a few short weeks to a month. The first night Charlotte was on standby and really did help. Any question I had she was there to answer as-well as giving me the opportunity to stop and reset if needed.

Now we have finished the course, I can happily say my son sleeps independently in his own room and I have learned so much about wake windows and naps and how important they are for a baby. Not only is Charlotte professional she is also there as a friend to support you in your journey. I felt so comfortable I could contact her and chat anything through if I didn’t understand.

I am so glad I met Charlotte that day as I wouldn’t even have a clue where to look for a sleep consultant. It’s the best money I have spent and I will hold onto that knowledge for future children.

Thankyou so much Charlotte! X

I can't thank Charlotte enough for the help she has given us the last three weeks, I feel quite emotional that it's coming to an end - I've loved having you on the other end of the phone, you've felt more like a friend holding my hand through this and I'm so grateful for you.

Since my baby was born she has been a terrible sleeper. Never wanting to be put down. Never able to do long naps. Breastfeeding to sleep - never taking a bottle. Co sleeping. Waking up every 45 minutes unless I was next to her. Will only let Mum put her down. I have been exhausted and I literally haven't had an evening to myself or with my Husband in months and I definitely haven't seen my friends.

I had already purchased 4 different sleep training guides but didn't have the confidence to follow through and not having a proper understanding of how sleep works, in I'd been making lots of bad decisions to add in extra naps or keep my baby up late. I wasted so much money on sleep assisting products claiming to rock, vibrate and shush my baby to sleep. All I really needed was to just contact Charlotte!

Being due back to work and having my LO start nursery, I've been so anxious about how we were going to manage it and how I was going to cope. But Charlotte has literally changed my life.

After the very first night, I got my first evening back.... She slept for almost 4 hours straight, I was thrilled! But by night 4 she had slept from 6:30pm to 7:30pm with only one wake at midnight for a quick feed and down. I was shocked! And it's just gotten better and better since with 12 hour stretches with no support from me, I literally have a baby that goes to sleep awake and puts herself to sleep, I thought it was all a myth!

We also managed to night wean, which I thought was going to be an impossible task to tackle another day, as a breastfeeding Mum I thought I was doomed to have my baby feeding all night and I'd kind of accepted that was just how it was to be because I breastfeed, but it really doesn't need to be.

After her big sleeps, my little one suddenly started crawling and clapping and reaching all her milestones she was a bit behind on, and it may be a coincidence, but I genuinely feel like she just needed a good old sleep to give her the energy to work on all her new skills.

We've done all of this whilst my little girl is starting nursery and settling, and all the skills have meant she has even gone down for naps at nursery... No one has ever managed to get her to sleep before! It's just amazing.

I would recommend Charlotte to everyone, her approach is warm and proactive. Slowing down when needed, and accelerating us when she knows it's been possible and getting us results fast. Explaining exactly why she has suggested what she has so I can take the knowledge with me and be successful for the future.

Charlotte, you are magic, thank you for changing our lives and helping A to thrive xxx

Charlotte is simply the best sleep expert there is! She is so easy to speak to, great at listening and recommending the best approach.

Our little girl is just two and we have called on Charlotte’s advice a few times in the last year and it has always been like waving a magic wand with getting our little girl to sleep well again!

Most recently we did a two week package with her as our daughter was waking up multiple times a night and sometimes for long periods. Charlotte recommended a number of things we could do to help with this and within a couple of days she was sleeping through. We are now ten days on and she has slept through every night! I can’t recommended her highly enough!

I have to say a huge thank you to Charlotte!!! Following our phone call we took a few days to get our little one happy in his cot during the day for a few mins here and there, then on Boxing Day decided to go ahead with the method we’d discussed. Well. It has worked wonders and LO is now sleeping consistently from 7pm-8am with only ONE wake for a quick breastfeed around 4am! I feed for 10mins, put down awake and just leave the room. He watches me go and just lays awake playing with his bunny before drifting off to sleep himself within 15mins or so. It’s been amazing and I can’t believe this is the same baby who woke 10+ times beforehand!!! Thank you so much for giving us the confidence and for the invaluable tips, all of which has got us to this point. So so grateful. Highly recommend speaking to Charlotte if you’re in need of some help/sleep!!

We could not recommend Charlotte enough, she has really helped us all get more sleep which has been a lifesaver! We decided to use Charlotte after the initial call we had with her made us feel hopeful that there could be help. Our 8 month old had always had trouble with sleep - never sleeping more than 2/3 hours in a stretch, and waking up numerous times. She is now sleeping good 5-7 hours stretches with a couple of 8 hours thrown in!
Charlotte worked closely with us, starting with small changes and building on these new habits until Evie learned how to self settle herself to sleep. Charlotte was there with us every step of the way.
She was friendly, positive, approachable and always on hand to give advice & support.
We cannot believe the change and it’s all down to us following Charlotte’s plan. She ensured it was individually tailored to Evie and was there when times were tricky or we had a million questions.
100% would recommend Charlotte to anybody struggling with their little ones sleep.

I cannot thank Charlotte enough for the support she has given me with my 8 month old.
I was at an absolute low when I reached out to Charlotte. My son was still waking multiple times through the night, needing lots of assistance to get to sleep, sometimes being awake for hours in the night and only taking 30 minute naps.

Charlotte took the time to listen and understand our aims and what we were comfortable with, she was so patient throughout. When I had a few wobbles midway Charlotte made sure to call and look at what we can try. She made sure to check in everyday and would respond to any questions throughout the day.

In 3 weeks my little one is consistently taking long naps (often I need to wake him) and is finally starting to self settle. He also had his first night ever sleeping through last night!

Huge thank you Charlotte x

After a difficult couple of sleep deprived weeks, I reached out to Charlotte for some advice. She went above and beyond to support - taking time during our consultation to listen to the struggles we were having and offering practical tips to help prevent our multiple wake ups (in a way that aligns to our values and works for our family).

I first met Charlotte when my little boy was just 3 months old and she instantly made me feel comfortable and understood. Charlotte has helped us countless time since then, with tricky naps in the cot, helping with settling to sleep in the evenings and most recently with her wonderful Nap guide!

The nap guide is so helpful, covering everything from wake windows, sleep environment to contact naps. It’s a non-judgemental helpful guide that I’ll be buying for all my friends who are pregnant. It’s helped us tweek my son’s nap and we are back to great naps at home and on the move.

Charlotte is so kind, generous and knowledgeable, I can’t recommend her enough.
