About Me

Being a mum was something I longed for from a young age, and before I had my own children I trained as a primary teacher and spent years volunteering with little ones in toddler groups, schools, and kids clubs. After becoming a mum, I chose to home educate my children as a stay at home mum, I continued to volunteer and also began running baby and toddler development classes. For over 30 years, I’ve been learning about children, their development, and how I can help parents feel confident in guiding them through every stage.

My own five children have taught me more than any book or course could. Each one came with their own unique personality.

Outside of work, I love being outdoors with my family — the beach is our happy place. I prefer meaningful 1:1 conversations over small talk, and I value my own quiet time (bedtime has always mattered for me too!). Parenting is emotional, messy, and hard work — but it’s also short, precious, and full of joy. My mission is to help families reclaim that joy.

The boy is sitting beside the woman, looking away with a neutral expression. They are in a living room with a black couch, yellow pillow, and wooden furniture.

Through all of it, I found that what worked best was a calm, consistent approach — with clear but flexible routines that respected each child’s personality. That philosophy is now at the heart of Confident Sleep. My ethos as a sleep consultant is simple: I give parents the tools and confidence to support their baby or toddler to sleep independently, without guilt or confusion. My role is to help you put practical, realistic strategies in place, so that bedtime feels calm and connected — not stressful.

When I work with families, I use a Confident, Calm, Connected approach. I guide parents in recognising the difference between protest and distress, and in setting boundaries with confidence and kindness. It is not a rigid one-size-fits-all plan — but a step-by-step guide that works for your family.

I’ve raised five children and worked with many more — from the baby who never wanted to be put down, to the one who didn’t want to miss out, to the toddler who turned bedtime into a performance. I’ve had the nap-refusers, the middle-of-the-night wakers, the “I’ll sleep anywhere” child, and now the teens who think bedtime is optional. Every stage has taught me something different — and it’s given me a deep understanding of just how individual sleep really is.

My Services

  • It was great having one to one contact with Christina during the sleep training, she provided support and encouragement, it also made me feel accountable so I had to stick to it! Christina had great advice and with the changes we implemented, his naps and night sleep are much more consistent .

  • Christina has been so supportive and has been amazing at helping my 18 month old sleep. Before working with Christina my girl was pretty much always sleeping in my bed, crying hysterically if I tried to put her in her bed and would wake up a few times throughout the night. I really never thought I would get my girl to sleep in her own bed , but she is now happy to and will sleep all night , usually 7pm-7am😊

    Christina is so knowledgeable and really tailors everything to your child’s needs. The approach is gentle with no “cry it out,” which was very important to me. She is also easily contactable throughout the day if you have any questions or need any advice. The whole experience has made bedtimes so much calmer, and getting a full night’s sleep again has honestly been life changing especially when returning to work

    I can’t thank Christina enough
