Julia Redmond
When my second baby arrived, I thought I had the sleep thing covered; after all my daughter had always been a great sleeper, and I had this stuff down. How wrong was I?
As a new-born I would feed him at bedtime but instead of him drifting off into a nice peaceful slumber he would finish, look more awake than before, and stare up at me as if to say "so, now what?"…
…..and I would think to myself "yes, NOW WHAT?!"
I honestly didn’t know what to do or who ask.
When he would wake in the night, to stop him crying I would try feeding him again. Sometimes this would work and get him back dozing, but more often than not he would just wake up again moments later, and then stay awake for hours until the sun came up.
Those few months felt like years, I can tell you.
I was very close to booking in with a BSTN consultant to get advice when I saw an opportunity to train as one. This got me thinking, why not actually learn the skills so I can help myself and then help others too?
After just one night of applying the techniques that I learned in my training, I didn’t have to attend to him once.
He had achieved what I thought was the impossible, he had slept 7pm to 7am....more importantly from that day forward has continued to do this!
With more of my evenings (and more of energy) back I also managed to convince my daughter to sleep happily in her own bed again, and stay there all night without waking, too.
I am now passionate about spreading the word so that we as mothers realise that getting no sleep does not have to go hand in hand with having a new baby and you should not have to dread bedtimes or naptimes - it really doesn't have to be a battle & can become a lovely, happy, quality parent and child time.
If any of this resonates with you then please get in touch.
I offer a complete non-judgemental approach and will work closely with you, listening and creating a bespoke sleep plan for your family’s individual situation.
My methods are gentle and designed to help support you and your child every step of the way to ensure that you and your little ones get a (very important) good night's sleep.

New-born – Get it right from the Start Package
This is a comprehensive training plan helping parents of new-borns train their little ones to have fabulous sleep skills from a very young age and can be implemented from day one! Getting an early start in establishing healthy sleep habits is a huge advantage for both babies and their parents. With this package, you will learn everything you need to teach your baby to be an independent sleeper right from the beginning. It is a fantastic gift package for new parents too and consultations can take place before or after the baby has arrived. (gift certificates available and can be posted direct to the lucky couple if required) It consists of:-- A private 60 minute telephone or in-home consultation. We will discuss how to establish a healthy sleep plan for your new-born, discussing sleep needs, schedules for feeding, naps and bedtime, how to help teach your baby the difference between day and night, creating the right sleeping environment, strategies to encourage sleep, when to expect your baby to be sleeping longer stretches, and common sleep issues that can be easily avoided.
- A detailed sleep plan. If you are expecting, the gentle, caring techniques in your sleep plan will teach you how to create an independent sleeper from day one, and will give you a flexible guide to quickly bring some routine, when baby arrives, to a time of your lives which can otherwise become quite overwhelming. If you baby has already arrived, your sleep plan will be fully customized for your family.
- One follow-up phone call. If you are following a sleep plan from the beginning then you will find your baby is naturally developing wonderful independent sleep skills, you may find you have some questions so we will schedule a telephone call within 2 weeks of the baby’s birth just in case (if you are expecting) or within 2 weeks of consultation (if you already have your baby at home). These calls typically last about 15 minutes.
- Two follow-up e-mails I will give you my personal email address so you can email me on two occasions with any questions or concerns any time within the first 3 months of your baby’s birth or our consultation. After 3 months you can purchase another week of email support at any time should you need it .
The total cost for the New-born – Get it right from the Start Package is £125 By Skype/Facetime/Phone
Face to face consultations are available on request in Kent and Surrey.
The Refresher
It is not uncommon for babies and toddlers who have been taught to be great sleepers to ‘test the boundaries’ from time to time. This option is for parents who have met with me in the past, but are looking for a ‘refresher’. This is a popular option for past clients who have recently had a new baby – or who are expecting in the near future. It consists of:-- A private, 60 minute consultation, usually by phone or by Skype, during which we’ll use to discuss any particular challenges you are having with your child. Since we’ve already worked together, a full hour is usually more than enough time to cover all your questions and concerns.
- Optional 2x follow-up emails that you can use to send me any additional questions that might come up as you get things back on track. I’ll aim to respond to your email within one day.
