A calmer way forward
Refined, personalised sleep support - backed by science, centred on family
About Me
Welcome! I'm Sarah-your friendly sleep consultant, mum, and cheerleader in the background.
I created More Than Sleep because I know firsthand how exhausting and overwhelming sleep challenges can be for families. When my first child was a newborn, I faced those sleepless nights head-on. Like many parents, I turned to books, research, and everything I could find to improve her sleep-and all of that reading and learning paid off. It also showed me how incredible life feels when our babies and families are well rested.
That experience sparked my passion for good sleep and led me to combine my love of helping others with professional study and science-backed, evidence-based strategies.
My approach is genuine, realistic, and family-centred, supporting not just your child, but everyone involved in their care. If you're feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice or tired of using ChatGPT to figure out your child's sleep routine, you're not alone. I provide personalised plans, daily check-ins, and ongoing guidance for newborns, babies, and toddlers.
There may be some tears along the way, but you'll never navigate them alone-because better sleep isn't just about your child, it's about the whole household.
Who I Work With
Short answer: It's for your whole village. More Than Sleep support isn't just for mum-and it's not just for your baby or child either.
Mums who are exhausted, overwhelmed, and craving clarity
Dads/partners who want to help but aren't always sure how
Your baby or child, who benefits from consistent, responsive care
Grandparents who mean well but may need updated guidance
Caregivers who want clear, realistic strategies to follow
By creating a plan that's practical, flexible, and easy to understand, everyone caring for your child can feel confident and consistent-whether it's bedtime, naps, or overnight wakes.

What Parents Say
Sarah was thorough, calm, encouraging and kind. Sarah was happy to pivot methods after our feedback on how our baby was responding, which helped provide confidence to us.
There was no pressure or strict rules - just practical, gentle support that actually helped. Our baby is sleeping better and I felt supported the whole way through.
Sarah is very knowledgeable, communication was great and I always felt supported and understood in my preference to use methods not involving controlled crying.
3 days in and my daughter was down to 3 naps a day with a 1.5 hour nap over lunchtime. A week in and she now falls asleep independently in her cot and is linking her own sleep cycles.
Her gentle, caring approach felt natural and respectful, and the personalized plan she created helped me stay consistent and confident throughout the process.
In less than a week he's gone from needing to be rocked/fed to sleep with upwards of 3 wakings a night to sleeping through the night! Sarah's gentle and understanding approach has given me the confidence to help my son build independent sleeping skills.
