I am paediatric sleep consultant offering advice to parents for getting their little ones to sleep better using gentle strategies and proven methods. As a first time mum I felt like a total novice when it came to many of the care-giving tasks. But none as much as helping my son, Joseph, to get to sleep. By the time he was 18 months old the whole family knew what sleep deprivation meant! What really concerned me, apart lack of sleep and sanity, was how much of an effect the sleep disturbances were having on Joe. Once I had discovered and implemented Dana Obelman's Sleep Sense Program™, our lives changed hugely. I knew, given the opportunity, that I wanted to share the gift of sleep with as many families as I could leading me to train as a Certified Sleep Sense Consultant™.
