Parent of Archie, aged 4
Sleep difficulties: Taking hours to settle to sleep and night waking.Referred: November 2024
Discharged: February 2025
“You’ve been brilliant, explained everything really well and listened to everything I had to say and took it onboard and worked with every point in detail and tailored everything to him and our situation really well, wasn’t judgemental with any issues we have and was really understanding. Great knowledge on what you do and it’s clear how passionate and how much you care about what you do,….. the follow up and even now still wanting to see how we get on with everything. Really quick with sorting everything how fast you made and shipped his pack was really good honestly thank you can’t fault anything.”

Parent of D, aged 3
Sleep difficulties: Prolonged bedtime routine, settling to sleep and night waking.Referred: December 2024
Discharged: March 2025
“Chris has been absolutely amazing to work with. Chris has heaps of experience, particularly related to autism, and really gets the issues more than any other professional we have worked with. She took the time to fully understand our child’s experiences and our experiences as parents, looking at the whole picture affecting sleep. She’s warm, funny and down to earth and it has been an absolute pleasure to work with her. She guided us step by step to get from where we were (sleeping in the same room, waking up to every 20 minutes, extremely long and arduous bedtimes) to where we are now, 3 months later (sleeping in separate rooms, some nights sleeping all the way through, bedtimes are much shorter, easier and generally free of drama). She created super helpful resources and has been on hand for any trouble shooting when we needed her support. Having lived with poor sleep for over three and a half years, we did not think it would be possible for things to change, but our situation has been transformed in a very short time. Thank you so much, Chris for turning this around for us.”

Parent of Eric, aged 3
Sleep difficulties: settling to sleep, night waking, smearing and early morning wakingReferred: December 2024
Discharged: March 2025
“Chris helped us with our son Eric who was waking up early, struggling to go to sleep at night and also waking up in the middle of the night for sometimes up to four hours. We were awaiting an autism diagnosis for Eric so we needed specific help and understanding for his additional needs. With Chris’ guidance, we have built a routine for Eric which has helped him and us navigate bedtime and sleep a lot better. Eric’s sleep has vastly improved and although he does still have some disturbed nights, we now know how to navigate these in the right way. Chris went above and beyond to help us as parents of an autistic child and her passion to help children like Eric shone throughout. We feel a lot more prepared for the challenges that lie ahead, and we can’t thank her enough.”
