Abbey Certified Sleep Consultant.jpg

Hello there!

I’m Abbey, a Certified Infant and Child Sleep Consultant and Registered Intensive Care Paramedic. I’m also a mum to two gorgeous little girls, and it was my love of helping others as well as my own journey into motherhood which led me down the path of sleep consulting.


When I was a very junior Paramedic, I fell in love with the feeling of helping others, being welcomed into their lives and their home at their time of need and seeing the difference that could be made. After many years working as a Paramedic, I continued my training and became an Intensive Care Paramedic, allowing my skills to help others further. During this time, I attended countless mental health crises, and was touched by several patients that I met whom had found their parenthood journey particularly difficult when faced with mental health challenges such as post natal depression and anxiety.

It was after the birth of my first daughter, that my curiosity about infant sleep began. I absolutely love science, and I was driven to learn all that I could about the science behind sleep, and what I could do as a mother to assist her to get the best rest she possibly could. Fast forward a little after her first birthday, and I decided to take the leap, and become a Certified Infant and Child Sleep consultant so that I could continue my path of helping families, and assist any parents who are having difficulty with PND or PNA which is very much exacerbated by sleep deprivation.

What People Are Saying

 

“I contacted Abbey when my daughter Chloe was 6.5 months old. She had catnapped for as long as I could remember and had started waking constantly through the night. We were getting desperate. Abbey was very caring and understanding and made a program right away. We were not interested in letting our baby ‘cry it out’ and instead Abbey tailored a plan around our family and parenting views and her gentle techniques were exactly what we were after.

—  Lauren, Mum of 6.5 month old Chloe

“A big thank you to Abbey for helping us with our son and his sleep routine. Abbey put together a personalised sleep program based on our sons’ specific issues. We have been dealing with severe reflux and food intolerance and Abbey’s program took those variables into consideration and tailored something unique for us to follow. I would highly recommend Abbey - she was always very hands-on and a great communicator, and put together a program that was tailored to our needs.”

— Angelica, Mum of 9 week old Matteo

 

“Having Abbey’s support over the last month has been amazing. It is very overwhelming being a first-time mum. Abbey’s style was extremely supportive and non-judgmental. We followed our sleep plan to the best of our ability, and it all came into place with a bit of consistency. Abbey was available to work through any questions I had. Now we are in a routine, we are a happier mum and happier bub. I highly recommend working with Abbey and following her program as early as you can”

— Sarah P.

“I engaged Abbey when my unsettled catnapping baby was 6 weeks old. She thoroughly assessed our situation and preferences to best understand our needs and supported me to implement a plan. She provided encouraging and non-judgmental feedback and adjustments along the way. Her advice was firm but delivered in a caring and nurturing way. By the end of the week, I felt more positive and confident, and my baby responded much better than I had expected. I strongly recommend Abbey’s and would use her services again without hesitation.”

— Kate, Mum of Elijah
