Words of Hope

Having begun with several wake ups every night, we now get to relax in the evenings and almost always enjoy undisturbed nights.

By implementing Michelle’s tailored plan, we saw huge improvement within days.

Michelle’s knowledge and advice was absolutely invaluable for us, providing practical advice on helping our daughter’s sleep as well.

Thank you so much Michelle!

The improvement we have seen is incredible..

Michelle is so knowledgeable and insightful. She listened carefully and provided tailored advice that met our child and our family’s needs.

We can’t thank Michelle enough for the hugely positive impact she has had on our child’s sleep – going from struggling to get to sleep each night to now falling asleep with ease.

We would highly recommend her to any parent struggling with their child’s sleep.

Our daughter was exhausted from falling asleep after midnight and we were at a complete loss. Michelle created a tailored plan that felt both practical and achievable. We saw positive changes within just a few days. Now falls asleep within 15 minutes of going to bed, sleeps through the night far more reliably, and is a much calmer and happier child. The impact of Michelle’s support has been life-changing for her and our family. From our first consultation, Michelle’s professional yet compassionate approach reassured us. We are extremely grateful for the difference she has made.

We achieved more in 8 weeks than we have in years with other support. Our daughter is 13 years old and has struggled with sleep most of her life. She had not fallen asleep without me next to her for over 5 years. She is quite complex as she is autistic and struggles with significant OCD. Michelle really listened to us and helped create a routine where we were working towards her falling asleep on her own. The change in her sleep has been unbelievable—we’ve noticed a significant drop in her OCD before bedtime. After 8 weeks, she had a friend over for a sleepover—the first time ever!

Thanks to Michelle our son is no longer waking at night and is much more regulated in the day. My husband was sceptical, because we have had other specialist input before, but this was worth every penny.

Michelle was not the first sleep specialist we’ve worked with, but she was the only one who left me to fully feeling empowered and equipped to support my son. When I first called her, my 4yo neurospicy kiddo couldn’t sleep anywhere except in my arms, and would wake screaming if I left the room. Bedtime took hours and had more in common with a warzone than the stereotypical bath and snuggles. I was exhausted, burned out, and emotionally in pieces. Within days of our first call, as I started to implement the tools Michelle suggested, his sleep was starting to improve and after seven weeks he spontaneously moved himself into his own bed in his own room (after sleeping every single night of his life in my bed), where he has slept happily ever since. Our 15 weeks with Michelle were life changing.

Michelle has been amazing. In just 4 weeks of working with her we’ve seen a massive improvement in my son’s sleep. It’s been completely life changing for us as a family. Michelle set up a plan that would meet our goals. She explained everything so well and was very kind and supportive.

Michelle has been incredible. Thanks to her my son no longer sleep walks. He’s a lot happier and calmer in the mornings. She has improved our family life massively. It’s clear Michelle has experience additional needs. I cannot thank Michelle enough for everything she has done for us.

I needed help with my 19 year old, autistic, non-verbal, daughter. Often, she did not fall asleep until 5am or sometimes not at all. Medication occasionally worked but wasn’t a long-term solution for her. Michelle created a bespoke, easy to follow, step by step sleep programme to guide the care team. Within just 3 weeks she was asleep by 11.30pm every night. I have been amazed at how successful the programme has been and my daughter is much happier in herself.

Michelle was brilliant in helping me solve my sons split nights from hell! She gave me lots of confidence, reassurance and a clear plan – Priceless!

Thank you for all your support Michelle, from our 1st call you made us feel more optimistic that we could help our 13 year old with sleep anxiety. We have gone from up to 3 nights a week of frustration, arguments and hopelessness to just 1 night in 10 where all is needed is a cuddle. Michelle has been kind, understanding and always there for reassurance and support during difficult times. Would 100% recommend her to anyone who is having trouble with an anxious teen at bedtime.

Michelle’s neuro inclusive approach to sleep meant that we could build sleep routines that would ensure our children’s sensory needs were met. Michelle really helped us. Her endless strategies and reframing of what sleep should look like for our children meant we felt really well supported and were able to achieve our goals.

We were spending most nights awake for hours. She was exhausted, dysregulated and self-harming and lashing out at us in the day. With Michelle’s help she is now sleeping through to 7am most nights. We are all coping much better in the day. I now feel I have the tools I need. Michelle has helped us tremendously, she really cares and I would highly recommend her to anyone. We approached Michelle at a time when we were really at our wits end. Our daughter has autism and a learning disability, she’s non speaking with very little understanding and we have been struggling with sleep for a year. This has progressively gotten worse spending most nights awake for hours. This was having a massive impact on her regulation in the day.

My son really wanted to go on the 2-night school residential, but neither of us had any idea how it was going to work. Every night for 10 years he’s needed me to lay beside him at bedtime and if he woke in the night, he’d get into bed with us. Through having Michelle’s help he now recognises he’s feeling tired and falls asleep by himself and stays in his own bed all night. My sceptical husband is shocked at how it’s worked. After two weeks it all of a sudden clicked into place. Not only did he fall asleep himself but he stayed in his own bed all night, and that is how it has continued! Sleep is now easier for everyone in our household. I just wish I’d found Michelle sooner.

Balancing my children’s different needs at bedtime felt overwhelming. What I valued most about Michelle’s support is her ability to think outside the box and offer practical strategies with neurodiversity in mind that are tailored to our family. My children now settle to sleep on their own at a reasonable time and bedtime meltdowns have reduced to almost zero. Being able to enjoy calmer evenings has made such a difference to my mental health.

Michelle is amazing and really knows her stuff. After battling with my son’s sleep, being woken up multiple times a night and him waking early in the morning we were all just exhausted. We had tried all the traditional methods but they weren’t working and after speaking to Michelle it became apparent why they wouldn’t work for our son who is possible ADHD. Instead of trying to keep him calm in the evenings he needed to be on the move and lots of helpful activities that were given to us has really helped settle him at night. He is now sleeping through some nights, other nights he resettles quickly.

Michelle has so many simple, practical and super effective strategies. She advised me step by step so I wasn’t overwhelmed. We now have more fun at bedtime and they sleep better. I cannot thank her enough.

Michelle has been instrumental in changing sleep in our household – we haven’t looked back! Her listening skills, ability to ‘deep dive’ into the problems and come up with pragmatic solutions meant that the plan wasn’t difficult to implement. She also has the skill of being able to constantly scan the horizon for issues we might not have noticed, which is both impressive and highly effective. This has been money well spent. Thank you, Michelle!

Michelle is incredibly knowledgeable She works with empathy and compassion and is very clear with her advice.

Michelle understood our daughter perfectly, she now sees her room and bed as a safe place where she can now fall asleep easily every night.

Michelle has changed our lives. Her empathic and holistic approach right from the outset was clear; As soon as she had crafted a plan for us, we knew it would work. Every step of the way she explained – with genuine compassion – what changes were needed & why. From that very first night when we set our plan into motion everything changed, both our children went to bed and stayed in their bed. And just a few weeks later, they now both sleep through the night. From 7pm until around 6am. There was no trauma, no huge upheaval, just a gentle shift into a different way of approaching bedtime & night time for all of us.

Michelle is easy to talk to and offers great ideas and insights on how to support neurodivergent children’s sleep.
