Are you ready to feel more confident?

In yourself.

In your relationships.

With your children.

In your life.

In your career.

You don't have to pay for weekly therapy, accept the struggle or diagnose yourself as a certain type of person!

This is not a one size fits all that can only work for a select few.

 

It's truly not as hard as you think to let go of your inner struggles and embrace the truth.

 

You feel overwhelmed, exhausted, stressed and totally disconnected.

You never put yourself first.

You feel stuck in an endless cycle of dred and the day to day struggle.

You get angry with your children and with yourself!

You feel disconnected in your relationships and alone.

That's what I spent thousands doing and now feel fully connected to my authentic self,

fully connected to my children no matter what the day looks like,

fully connected to my husband, even though we were nearly over,

fully connected to those around me with no drive to change any of them or any of it!

How?

I went back to the beginning & found where I made my first decisions about the world and cleaned it all up from there.

There is no perfect therapy, mindset coach, or routine that's going to help you overcome your daily patterns, unless of course you can link right back to the source and build from there.

I will support & walk you through every single

step over 4 weeks fully 1:1

I'll show you everything you need to be focussing on &

everything you DON'T need to be focussing on to improve sleep.

So you can let go of the overwhelm, exhaustion & stress.

Simple is NOT spending your days focussing &

tracking every sleep & feed.

Simple is NOT feeling like you have to be the perfect parent,

trying to fit into a rigid schedule for their age or

doing things that make you feel uneasy.

Simple is NOT leaving them to cry alone & figure it out themselves or ignoring certain behaviours to make them

behave a certain way.

You don't need to stop feeding to sleep or

make them fall asleep independantly to improve sleep.

If you want to shift away from certain ways of falling asleep...

That's ok, there are lots of loving ways.

I will help you with what you DO need to know to improve sleep.

I will help you with the areas that bother you the most!

The ones you get MOST confused & frustrated about:

How to have peaceful bedtimes

How to improve sleep overnight

How to introduce others to bedtime & overnight

How to make naps easy

How to change how you settle them to sleep

How to change the location of their sleep

How to manage theirs & your emotions

How to hold loving boundaries & when & when to give control  power

How to truly connect with them in the most fun & playful ways

BONUS access to my Truly Gentle Nightweaning Method™ & support to implement if

you are ready or have it if you might need it later...

I will help you decide with confidence & empower you in your decisions.

Testimonials

Simon.jpg

"This experience has been life changing for our family.

We've worked with sleep consultants in the past. They've been ruthless with their time and their methods were harsh. Definitely not focused on the wellbeing of the child. This experience has been the polar opposite.

 

Now, we've gone from 5am wake ups every single day, for months on end, to 7/8am wake ups, 11 hour sleeps, a happier child and happier household.

 

We trust you have armed us with all the tools we'll need to continue your great work, not just on sleep, but all of the other parts you've supported us with. Thank you again."

 

Simon McMahon - Dad to 3 year old girl

"I went from feeling like a failure to realising how much I did know about my little girl and reinforcing that instinctive connection that I had almost lost.

I was an exhausted, anxious mum feeling so frustrated and weighed down by the failed nap schedules and multiple night wakings. I knew I wouldn't be able for the crying out element of sleep training and ultimately it went against my instincts, so I felt there was no way forward......until I found gentle little sleepers.

Patrice guides you as a parent to listen to your little one, to find their rhythm and to have a bespoke approach to sleep instead of trying to force your family into a one-size-fits-all routine. She uses science, logic and empathy to work with you to make changes to facilitate sleep and to change your perspective on wakings.

 

Her holistic approach allows you to work with your baby to achieve a sustainable loving approach to sleep, to trust your instincts rather than go against them. She is a leading light in a evidence based sleep advice, I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for help."

"I needed someone who was going to listen to us as a family and help figure out what we needed. Patrice did this and more.

A message from the family 8 months after support. She was 9 months when I supported them.

***** is sleeping all night in her own room the last 2 months.

Stopped feeding & feeding to sleep. She took well to the adjustment.

She started to sleep through the night so we moved her to her own room. She woke once or twice at 1st to check that we were still a call away & she is happy there. We still stay until she's asleep, which is working for us.

 

Thanks for all your help!"

FORTNIGHTLY LIVE SUPPORT & COACHING

Every feeling, question or concern you may have along the way, someone else shares it too. As well as your individual 1:1 with Patrice at the start of this process, you have access to 2 live face to face calls in my Open Office available only to families in the 4 week support, maximum 4-6 families in each call, usually 2-4.  This allows face to face support for any extra reassurance you need or just for connection & fun. The other families I'm supporting in the month will have access too. Maximum 4-6 participants on each LIVE call.

Calls are hosted on zoom & I am available to you for 2 hours for all your questions. I coach on a vast amount of areas because my clients are not afraid to ask me literally anything. After 20 years of hanging around with children & their families, absolutely nothing shocks me & I come completely judgement free.

This is a supportive & inclusive place where we can be our authentic selves & release any fear of judgement or shame. I help you process emotions around making changes, supporting you & your child to find new ways of falling asleep, introducing others, routine, behaviour, you name it!

Videos are recorded & shared with each family being supported that month so if you can't jump in LIVE, there's absolutely no pressure, you can also jump in, get coaching & leave, jump in late, ask a question & I can cover so you can watch the replay, there is literally no pressure in this community, just support, love & solidarity.

I will help you understand why sleep can be troublesome, ways to overcome sleep issues, aim for new goals & maintain a loving approach throughout.

 

All family dynamics are welcome, bedsharing, co-sleeping, floorbeds, cots, family beds, breastfeeding, bottle feeding. You don't have to fit into a certain box to avail of my support & if your goal is to keep bedsharing, that's absolutely normal & welcome too.

 

I can support you to improve sleep no matter how you settle or where.

If your goal is to shift away from something, that's welcome too & fully supported here.
