Marina Goncalves
I started working in a nursery in Portugal when I was 13 years old. As the years passed, I realised that my true calling was working with children. I moved to London 15 years ago and began working with families, providing personalised approaches. Throughout these years, I have been studying and expanding my knowledge. It is extremely important to me to assist families in the best way possible.
I have noticed that sleep is a common area where parents struggle, and I decided to specialise in studying sleep. Through my experience, I have learned that every family is unique, but the lack of good sleep can lead to similar issues. Therefore, I am here to help you in the best way I can. Being a mother myself, I have encountered many challenges, but I have found that many of them can be resolved by applying the knowledge I have acquired.
My expertise doesn’t stop with sleep! I’m also well-equipped to assist you in other areas of your baby’s development. Together, we’ll create a nurturing and enriching environment that fosters growth, health, and happiness. Let’s work together to ensure your little one is getting the best possible start in life.

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 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 your baby has already arrived, your sleep plan will be fully customized for your family.
