If you're looking for more sleep without leaving your little one to cry, you're in the right place. You will only find truly responsive, loving and connected strategies here with infant and childrens needs in mind always.
I am a mother to 2 wonderfully energetic, playful boys
who are growing up way too quick. I am a Holistic
Gentle Sleep Coach and before I was a sleep coach,
I was a Professional Nanny with 20 years experience.
I know what it feels like to be SLEEP DEPRIVED and
totally CONFUSED about how to help. With the sleep
industry so flawed and unreliable, convincing you that
you must force independance, you must teach them
how to sleep and they must learn to self settle. It's so
lonely right?
I thought I had it all sussed out with 18 years of
experience with children, parenting would be a breeze,
right? I did an amazing breastfeeding course so that
would be fine too, right? Wrong!
I felt completely LOST and ALONE in the early months.
I was EXHAUSTED, TOUCHED OUT and my ability to
be a wife and a friend was BARELY HANGING ON.
When I found the holistic approach to sleep, it opened
my eyes, it allowed me to parent the way I wanted to,
it felt INSTINCTUAL and CONNECTED and most of all,
it felt FREEING!
Highlighting red flags and support in referrals
If there are underlying issues affecting sleep, I can direct you to the right professional in relation to the symptoms and behaviours we are flagging and support you in the best preparation to get the right support.
After meeting Lyndsey Hookway and The
Holistic Sleep Coaching Program, my career
took a drastic shift and my parenting style and
acceptance of what parenting looks like took an
even bigger shift.
I had to share this with other families and help
them out of the trenches of EXHAUSTION. The
holistic approach was the ONLY WAY. So what
does it mean? It sounds like some vudu word
right? Instead of focussing solely on one area
like behavioural sleep training does, the holistic
way focusses on the individual as a whole.
It doesn't focus directly in one area but instead,
takes the multiple relevant factors onboard, like
temperament, family dynamics, individual sleep
needs, background history, sensitivities, and any
possible underlying issues that could be at play,
this is only scratching the surface.
I truly support every family differently, based on
your individual needs and circumstances, your
baby and your specific struggles and goals.
There is no one size fits all and you will never
find any form of behavioural training or sleep
training, cry alone or modified versions of these
strategies through my support, ever!
My services are designed to empower parents with the knowledge and tools necessary to create a soothing and comfortable sleep environment for their little sleepers.
By working with me, you can rest assured that you are investing in your child's well-being and fostering a restful night's sleep for the whole family while always meeting your little ones needs with a genuinely gentle approach, always!
Don't wait any longer to let go of the stress around your families sleep – book a consultation with Patrice today and embark on a journey towards better sleep for you and your little ones.
I believe that every child is so individual, new and
fresh and every child should be treated as such. To
do this, we must respect their biological needs, their
individual needs and their personality. I learn new
things every day from what works and doesn't with
different children. No child of any age needs to be left
alone crying to improve sleep and all children deserve
a parent that feels comfortable and supported to
respond unconditionally day and night.
Our society is flawed, I do not have any anger toward
parents, it's toward the lack of evidence based
support that takes into consideration the parents
mental and emotional health as well as the childs and
never favours ones needs over the other, instead
brings them together. If you have sleep trained and
don't want to do it again, you're welcome here. If you
are on the verge of leaving your child cying alone,
you're welcome here. I come with no judgement,
open ears, a warm hug and the support every parent
deserves. I will keep pushing toward a future where I
no longer have to prove why it is never wrong to pick
up a crying baby or support anolder child to sleep
when they need it.
There should be a package to suit every tired family in here and if there's a specific type of package you'd like to make more bespoke or longer support package, please let me know. You don't need to sleep train to improve your families sleep and you can make gentle changes that are chosen by you with dedicated support from me.
In here, you will always find evidence based information around sleep and child behaviour, as well as my promise to always putting myself in your child's shoes when creating a bespoke plan for you. All calls via zoom can be recorded for you to keep at your request.
Nowhere within my support will you find any sleep training methods, cry it out strategies, or modified versions of these kinds of strategies, ever!
