Our Testimonials

"We were at the end of our tethers when we finally took the plunge and contacted Ann in March 2023. Our 2 year old was getting up 2 or 3 times a night and this had been the case from Day 1 - we were exhausted and despairing! Following a consultation with Ann, she provided us with a bespoke plan that not only supported us to ensure that we all got a better night's sleep, but also helped us to stop breastfeeding at the same time.

Within a couple of (very challenging!) nights, our toddler was sleeping soundly for 12 hours a night and we finally felt human again. It was an emotional time for me and our little boy, especially with stopping breastfeeding after 2 years, and Ann was extremely kind, supportive and attentive (whilst also remaining firm!) during the whole process. Thank you for everything."

"Ann has transformed our lives and I cannot thank her enough! Ann visited us when we were at almost breaking point after months of ongoing sleep deprivation courtesy of our gorgeous boys (aged 3.5 & 8 months). Our 8 month old had been having sleep issues, waking every 1-2 hours since he was 4 months and ended up co sleeping with me after I gave up on all hope of him sleeping in his own room. Our 3.5 year old was getting out of his bed up to 4 times a night to co sleep with my husband- the whole situation was grim and we were all completely exhausted.

Ann was calm, extremely understanding and full of advice. She tailored individual sleep plans for the boys. I remember feeling very anxious about the thought of sleep training and what it would involve but she explained all parts to me throughout and gave us constant support and reassurance.We saw huge improvements with both boys within 3 days and after week one we had our first full night sleep and this has continued. We have stuck to the plan and never looked back, it is the best thing we've done. Thank you Ann - you quite literally saved our sleep."

"My husband and I sought Ann's support due to having two children (aged 4 years and 7 months old) who were both individually poor sleepers, and were also impacting each other. Within 2 nights, our 7 month old was sleeping through and has done each night since, despite illness and teething. Within the 2 weeks, our 4 year old was able go to sleep alone is much better all round. It is no exaggeration to say Ann has completely changed our lives and our two children are much happier and well rested. Thank you!"

"We would highly recommend Ann and her sleep service. Our little boy was having trouble self soothing and getting to sleep, he now can go through the night. Ann was with us every step of the way and helped us on our journey. Thank you!"

"Ann discussed all of the details of the suggested plan with us before it was finalised and made sure we were comfortable and happy with everything contained within it."

"Ann was recommended to us by some friends who had had a very positive experience in getting their child to sleep better and we have not been disappointed.

In a way I feel like we knew what the challenges were but didn't have the inclination to make any changes because our older child was sleeping so well. However, Ann was able to separate the two and address our youngest's sleep challenges head on. After one initial tough night where we reminded our 2 year, almost 3year old that he didn't need any milk at night and the praise he received when he made it through, he was able to sleep 12 hours consistently. Ann's daily phone call became a chance for me to be proud of what we had achieved in a short space of time and the belief Ann had in us a family kept us on track. The plan is very easy to follow. We really didn't understand the extent to our tiredness until we were no longer exhausted all the time.

Before we signed up, I felt that asking for help was perhaps an indulgence and that we just needed to work through it and it would improve. Now we are at a stage where we are all sleeping at least 8 hours a night, I wish I had done it sooner."

"We were both completely exhausted when I contacted Ann after a friend had a very positive experience. We have a 3 year old and a 14 month old. Our 14 month old was up every 1-2 hours and she had done this from about 16 weeks, we both have had a lot of stress in our lives of late and we really really needed some help.

Ann came to the house on the Sunday and send a plan that night so we could get started. I won't lie the first two nights getting her down was awful. I had so much anxiety about the crying for 40 minutes. However this soon disappeared when the second night she slept 12 hours, we continued the routine and this has continued every night for the 14 days. The routine became very quick and she was settled and asleep usually within 10 minutes.

I LITERALLY CANT THANK ANN ENOUGH!

She gave me the accountability I needed and she has without a doubt changed our lives for the better.

Thank you so so much you really are a dream fairy"

"We owe a huge amount of thanks to Ann for restoring our evenings and providing us some much-needed time back. Our little boy found it difficult to transition out of the 'next to me' crib into a cot in his own room.

It seems crazy to think back now, but we used to push him to sleep in his pram transferring him into his cot once he was asleep, a process that could take up to two hours each night. If and when he woke up during the night, we would routinely repeat this.

We did this for 6 months!!

Although we were a little sceptical to begin with, having followed the programme and with Ann's expert guidance, our 14 month old is now able to fall asleep on his own. Throughout the two-weeks, we felt fully supported, empowered, and accountable.

We are incredibly grateful to Ann for all her support & guidance during the programme - it has quite literally changed our lives."

"Ann has been amazing from start to finish, with constant support throughout. Our little one really was a troubled sleeper, waking every 2 to 3 hours. After seeking support and guidance from Ann we can honestly say our 9 month old baby boy sleeps from 7pm to 7am. As well as the full nights sleep we have also seen a massive improvement in his daily naps, he now has a good 2 hours in the morning and an hour and half in the afternoon. Without a shadow of a doubt we would highly recommend her Sleep Support Service."

"I contacted Ann following a particularly bad run of nights with our youngest, during what was an extremely busy and stressful period of our lives. Both boys (7 months & 2 years) have been very poor sleepers since birth with multiple wakings per night, often up to as many as 9 times. Ann assured us that (with hard work) both boys will be sleeping 12 hours by the end of her course. Naturally, we didn't really believe it given how bad things had become but were desperate to try anything that could help.

To our astonishment, our eldest took to it straight away, and has stayed in bed for 12 hours every single night with very little fuss. Our youngest has slept through on a good number of occasions also. On the nights when he does wake, more often than not he has learnt to settle himself and the difference seen in both boys is incredible. We could not be more grateful to Ann for her help and support and cannot recommend her service highly enough. It has literally transformed our lives."
