After moving my family to New Zealand in 2011, I founded Serene Sleep to bring my experience and clinical training to Kiwi families who were struggling with sleep.

I have now spent over two decades supporting parents through sleep deprivation and helping families find their way back to more settled nights and predictable calmer days.

My background in child development and psychology, nutrition, and maternal mental health allows me to look at sleep in a wider context, not just what’s happening at bedtime.

I create sleep plans that are tailored to your child and your family, because no two situations are ever the same.

You can feel reassured knowing you’re in experienced hands. I’ve supported thousands of families through what feels like an impossible stage, and I know how overwhelming it can be when you’re running on very little sleep.

Sleep is a biological necessity, not a luxury, and your family deserves the best rest possible.

There are many different factors that can affect a child’s sleep, including how they nap, how they feed, and their sleep environment. Over the years, I really have seen it all.

From bed- hopping toddlers and early risers to frequent night waking and short naps, no two families present in quite the same way.

Trying to juggle a baby or toddler who isn’t sleeping well alongside work, family life, and everyday responsibilities is exhausting.

Ongoing sleep deprivation can take a real toll on both your mental health and your overall wellbeing.

As a working mum to three children, I understand many of the challenges you may be facing, including sleepless nights, self-doubt, and the constant pull between family and work.

Many parents today are doing this without the “village” of support that previous generations had.

Modern parenting comes with a lot of pressure and a lot of noise. That’s why the solutions I offer are always practical, realistic, and designed to fit into real family life.

I know from experience that a sleep plan designed specifically for your child will always be more effective than a generic approach. There are so many variables that can influence sleep and behaviour, and these need to be considered carefully.

Your tailored plan will take into account your child’s temperament and behaviour, any health or developmental concerns, your child’s sleep environment, your parenting style, your home setup, and the support you have around you.

This personalised approach allows us to create a plan that feels achievable, supportive, and sustainable for your family.

I am the only Baby and Child Sleep Consultant in New Zealand to offer three weeks of follow-up support as standard with any of my sleep packages.

There is a very good reason for this. While many families start to see positive changes within the first few days, the adjustment period is just as important as the initial plan itself. This is often when questions come up, confidence can wobble, or small challenges appear.

Having ongoing support means you can talk things through, feel reassured, and know you’re not doing this alone. It also allows me to make gentle adjustments if your child isn’t responding as expected or if your circumstances change. Parents often tell me how comforting it is to have direct access to support during this time.

Through many years of working with tired, stressed parents, I’ve found that the best results come from simple, practical strategies combined with a gentle and responsive approach.

I also look at the bigger picture, not just your child’s sleep in isolation. Factors such as sleep environment, health, nutrition, routine, and family lifestyle can all play a role, and they deserve to be considered too.

My goal is not just to improve your child’s sleep, but to support the wellbeing of your whole family, in a way that feels responsive, respectful, and achievable.
