Hi, I'm Cat.

Our story.


I'm Cat, the proud mum of two girls – Annabelle and Evelyn. We live in a beautiful beachy town on the East Coast of New Zealand called Mount Maunganui.

I experienced the consequences of sleep deprivation when my second, Evie, was born. She affectionately became nicknamed the velcro baby, as she could not be put down... for five months!

Two little girls from the same parents, born the same weight and who looked nearly identical at birth were at complete opposite ends of not only the sleep spectrum, but across everything (breastfed vs. bottle fed, co-sleeping vs. bassinet, the list goes on).

Juggling a busy household schedule and running a business full-time, I needed both of the girls to sleep well and be in a predictable and consistent routine.

I quickly learned that
sleep is not a luxury
– it is a necessity!

Our journey to good sleep.


Exhausted and desperately needing a solution that worked, I spent thousands of dollars on sleep consultants, books, and sleep guides recommending various methods and techniques.

While there is a lot of information available, there is a lot of conflicting advice at opposite ends of the spectrum. It can be exhausting and overwhelming to navigate all of this as a sleep-deprived parent.

In the process of making sense of all the different opinions out there, and teaching the girls to sleep well, I became a certified pediatric sleep consultant. Because I had figured out a solution, I wanted to immediately share my knowledge with other frustrated parents who wanted more sleep.

How we can help you.

We’re here to equip parents with the knowledge and methods they need.

Being passionate about sleep, I wanted to make information easy to digest and understand. I also wanted to combine multiple techniques and methods that could be adapted and implemented depending on the temperament of the child.

I know that when you’re operating in a sleep-deprived state, your concentration ability completely disappears. This is why our information is all delivered in bite-sized pieces that you can watch or read and are easy to follow.

I have the goal of empowering parents to equip them with knowledge so that they feel confident to adapt methods and create a plan that will work for each baby and family.

Ultimately, I want everyone to be able to get a good night’s sleep so they can be the parents they want to be!

Please let us know if you have any questions!
We are always here to help.

These families have had life changing experiences because of our program.

 

We love being a part of their journey to better sleep.
