What To Expect When Working With Me

Before we begin, I’ll ask you to track your child’s sleep for at least five days using my sleep log. This helps me understand their 24-hour sleep pattern and overall sleep need.

This is a very important piece of information for me to have before writing your plan, because it allows me to:

  • Understand your child’s unique 24-hour sleep need

  • Set realistic and achievable goals for sleep

  • Reduce stress, crying, and frustration as we make changes

I’ll also take into account your family’s lifestyle and commitments. Not every family can manage very early bedtimes, strict nap schedules, or every nap in the cot - and that’s okay! You’ll have a plan that supports good sleep while still fitting your day-to-day life.

You can choose the level of involvement that feels right for you when helping your child learn to fall asleep independently:

  • Stay and Support – You remain with your child, offering comfort and reassurance as they learn to self-settle.

  • Check and Respond – You give short opportunities for your child to settle, returning at consistent intervals to reassure.

There’s flexibility within each approach, and you can make eye contact, and offer physical and verbal reassurance.

It’s important to understand that whatever the approach, tears are likely to happen. Crying is a normal way for babies and young children to express frustration as they adjust to something new. Our job isn’t to stop crying altogether but to help your little one feel supported and secure as they adapt.

You will usually see progress within 3–5 days.

What Families Are Saying

  • “I was completely shattered after a year of feeding my twins to sleep, short naps and both of them waking multiple times per night. I booked a consultation with Marie and I cannot believe the turnaround in such a short space of time. Before the call, I emailed Marie with details of our routine, our family, mealtimes, naptimes etc., so she had a good background of our daily life. Marie was very approachable and I trusted her kind approach to my little boys. I was so tired for so long that I felt nothing would ever change with the twins sleep but Marie was so assuring and gave me great confidence. We came up with a plan and she followed up with a detailed email of everything we discussed. I couldn't believe that after one day my boys were sleeping through the night and naps fell into place shortly after. I don't know myself these days and I now have time to play with my toddler or have my lunch instead of hanging over the cots in a dark room for hours at a time."

  • "Couldn’t recommend Marie and Mellow Sleep Child Sleep Solutions enough. Our 18 month really struggled to fall asleep herself, we would be up multiple times each night. With Marie’s help we are now able to put our girl into her cot and she falls asleep herself."

    Chris

  • "We worked with Marie when my son was 4 months old as sleep was a huge issue, so many wakes and couldn’t understand why! Now he has amazing naps and sleep is way better than we ever could’ve asked for! So grateful for the approach Marie used with us and the advice and support. Truly passionate about what she does!"

    Julianne

  • "We worked with Marie when our son was six months old. Within two days of implementing the plan, our son’s sleep had greatly improved – he was able to put himself to sleep, began napping consistently during the day and woke up less during the night. As a result, our days became a lot more predictable I would highly recommend sleep coaching with Marie – she is kind and caring and goes above and beyond for her clients to ensure that better sleep habits are implemented and maintained”.

    Shona

  • "We could not recommend Marie enough to help with our family’s sleep concerns. Having worked with Marie previously for our daughters sleep we knew she was the perfect fit for us second time around with our son. With Marie’s support and guidance we went from bed sharing with multiple wakings (every 40-60m) to him being able to self settle without a soother and sleeping through the night in his own room. Naps which were previously all contact/motion naps are now all in his cot. Marie listened to our concerns and was on hand for any and all questions we had. Her customised sleep plan was exactly what we all needed to get settled sleep. Thank you Marie from well rested parents."
