About us
I am a certified maternity and child sleep consultant, Qualified Early Childhood Educator and a mother of 3 young children.
I have always loved children, and this has led me to work in the industry for over 20 years as a qualified child care worker. In fact, I was given the opportunity to open numerous new child care centres that operated in a way that I believed in, throughout Victoria, after which I accepted a position at the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development. which is where I worked until I had my first child.
Motherhood became my focus over the next 4 years until my youngest turned 1 and I felt the urge to help other mothers/families going through difficult times with their own new babies. I embarked on a Certified Maternity and Child Sleep consultants course through the International Maternity Institute and am now thrilled to be using my experience and study to help families that might be suffering sleep deprivation due to a new bub or a sleepless child in the house. I know how easy it is to become overwhelmed and frustrated so it is now my passion to help find solutions that will work for you, your child and the rest of your family. So far, I find that a successful outcome is not only good for the parents and the kids, but gives me such a sense of satisfaction and happiness. There's nothing better than happy kids.
There is no 'one size fits all' solution. I will work with you and your family, whilst you are in your own home, where you and your child are most comfortable. Given that no two families or children are the same, together we will assess your situation and work together to come up with the best solution for your child (and you). I will keep in mind your parenting philosophy, your child’s temperament and look at a number of fundamental issues that are imperative for your child to get a good nights sleep.
My main aim is for you to have all of the support you need as you start on your journey towards a better nights sleep.... show more A well slept child means well slept parents, which equals a happy and healthy family!

Babyhintsandtips asked:1. My LO is 4.5 months and exclusively BF. Does anyone have a really good support sport bra they can recommend? 2. I use white noise for my nearly 7 mth old - it really helps him get off to sleep. But I am wondering if this is something I should wean him off? When did other people stop using white noise and did it impact sleep? 3. Any recommendation for a pram friendly casual restaurant/cafe in Adelaide CBD?Lisa D. replied:2. Hi I am a sleep consultant www.facebook.com/cherishyoursleep I think if baby is sleeping well within and if it's not a problem for you then I would just keep doing what you are doing for the time being!! I actually recommend white noise older babies and children if they have sleep issues As they get older you can wean them off it by slowly turning the volume down but by bit until it's no longer playing!!! Hope this helps

Babyhintsandtips asked:1: im asking a question for a friend who is on bed rest and will be having her baby very early. She needs premmi clothes (smaller than 00000). Can anyone recommend any online stores she can browse at whilst being stuck doing nothing? She knows the places like Target, Kmart, Baby Bunting etc. Hoping for facebook pages or online stores?? 2: could someone please recommend a sleep consultant in the Melbourne Bayside area. Would like someone that comes to the house rather than via Skype. Thanks x 3: Parents that have used a helmet to help the flat spot on their babies head, what are your experiences?

Babyhintsandtips asked:** Last post for the night- just a reminder our messages will be turned off until Monday morning! ** 1. Can anyone recommend a good family daycare around pooraka/Mawson lakes area in SA please? 2. Just wanting to know other mums experiences when their little ones were going through growth spurts with in their first year, and how you dealt with it? 3. Can anyone recommend a gentle sleep assistant in Melbourne please. Just someone who does gentle settling? 4. I am 21 weeks pregnant with #2. Pretty much since conception I have just always felt that this baby is a boy. My partner found but the gender at the last scan but I opted for a surprise. Has anyone felt a very strong intuition about the sex of their baby and been wrong? I'm happy either way for a boy or girl, I just worry that if I turn out to be wrong I wont be able to trust my instincts anymore, if that makes senseYasmin D. replied:If you click on the link it will direct you straight to her :-)http://www.facebook.com/cherishyoursleepYasmin D. replied:3.
