Kathrine Ashbridge BA (HONS), P.G.C.E., BWY DIP, CBH DIP, SMRB Dip
Hi, I’m Kathrine and I am going to give you the help you need to get your child sleeping through and your family’s life back on track.
A huge well done for taking the first step and acknowledging that you need help – you have overcome the first hurdle, which is often the hardest.
I have been where you are now and experienced severe sleep deprivation with both of my sons. My eldest son, Jack, is severely autistic with OCD and challenging behaviour. Jack is still a poor sleeper even with medication to help him sleep but that is the nature of autism. Then I had my youngest son, James. I am serious when I say, if he had been my first child, he would have been an only child! James just didn’t sleep and I was desperate for help. All that I got from reading baby book after baby book was feelings of failure; that I wasn’t good enough, that I wasn’t doing things right. I spent several evenings in tears not knowing which way to turn for help. I really wish that I had known that there were such people as sleep consultants at the time I would have gladly taken the help. All in all, I experienced 16 years of sleep deprivation and whilst they impacted every single aspect of my life, what I did learn was empathy. I understand what you’re going through and how exhausted you are. The choices we make just to get some sleep. At my lowest point, in a sleep deprived state, I recall not wanting to go to bed even though everyone was asleep because in just a few hours’ time I was going to have to start all over again and wondering how I was going to get through the next day.
I decided to train as a sleep consultant to take all my existing skills and qualifications and channel them into what I see to be an extremely meaningful service for families. There are too many mums out there feeling as I did, and I want you to know that you don’t need to normalise it and you don’t need to suffer any longer from feelings of exhaustion and all the side effects that come with that – together we can transform your situation.
With me, you’re getting more than just a baby sleep consultant; I am passionate about wellbeing and truly believe that, if you do not make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness. I have a BA Hons degree in Human Communication and Communication Disorders with Linguistics, I hold a diploma as a British Wheel of Yoga teacher, I’m a qualified Deep Tissue Therapeutic Massage Therapist and am training to be a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist as well as completing a Diploma in Stress Management and Resilience Building. In a nutshell, everything I am trained and experienced to do is focussed on managing and reducing stress and anxiety and allows me to make differences to people’s lives by helping them on their wellness journeys.
I bring this passion and experience to my role as a sleep consultant – I will use my expertise to help you get you some much needed you time back. Can you imagine being able to leave your partner in charge of bedtime? Well with my help this will soon be a reality.
I will be there to support you each step of the way on your journey through calls, emails, Zoom and even WhatsApp. I have a 100% success rate with all my families who have followed my sleep plan to the letter and I can help you too.
The first 15 minute initial consultation is free, so you really have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I look forward to speaking to you soon, stay safe and well

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 £100 by Skype/Facetime/Phone

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.
The total cost for the Refresher Package 60 minute consultation is £95.
