About Me
I’m Marie – Mum of Three and Certified Child Sleep Consultant based in Co. Monaghan.
My interest in sleep started with my own experience as a parent. Like many families, we went through a mix of sleep struggles - long stretches of broken nights, co-sleeping that didn’t really help, driving around in the car for hours, and following advice from apps and books that never seemed to stick. I wanted to support independent sleep, but I was unsure how to do that without lots of tears, and felt overwhelmed by all the mixed messages out there.
After the birth of our second child, we finally reached out for support - and things changed. With the right information and approach, sleep started to improve. That experience led me to want to learn more and eventually support other families through their own sleep journeys.
I trained with the Family Sleep Institute in 2021 and have since gained extensive experience working with families through a wide range of sleep situations. In 2024, after the birth of my 3rd child, I continued my learning through the Sleep Health Intelligence Program with Dr. Anya McLaren-Barnett, a paediatric respirologist and sleep medicine physician.
Sleep consulting is not a regulated field, and over time, I’ve seen just how much misinformation is out there - especially online. That’s why staying evidence-based and continuing to learn is so important to me. I want the families I work with to feel supported by information that’s honest, realistic, and not only shaped by my experience, but grounded in research.
I am also a member of The International Association of Child Sleep Consultants.
I believe that sleep matters - not just for babies and children, but for parents too - and that with the right support, things can feel a lot more manageable.
There’s often a lot of noise online suggesting that all babies need is constant contact, and that waking frequently at night is something parents should simply accept. While connection and comfort are important, so is sleep. Babies need quality sleep to grow, develop, and feel their best, just like we do.
When parents get the rest they need, they’re able to enjoy parenthood more fully and feel their best. Taking care of your own sleep helps you support your child’s wellbeing and creates a happier, healthier home for everyone.
