“Camilla was recommended to us via Facebook when we were having problems with our 15 month old son sleeping. We were having huge trouble putting him down in his cot - lots of crying and screaming - he was taking ages to get to sleep, and the worst part was that by around 2 or 3am he was wide awake and impossible to resettle. In effect that became morning time, and he would eventually have his first nap of the day at 6am or so. We had become so tired we were doing lots of mad things like taking it in turns to watch TV with him during the night so that at least one of us could sleep! He was also grumpy and prone to crying lots in the day due to his extreme sleep deprivation.
Camilla was brilliant. We liked her instantly as her approach was gentle but with clear set instructions on what to do with exact timings. I loved the fact we had a firm plan which had been fully explained through to us. It united my husband and I as we were both working on the same plan. Camilla was interested in our routines and what Freddie was like as a baby so that his sleep plan was specially formulated for him. We came into sleep training feeling like we had tried everything we possibly could, but Camilla’s approach worked instantly. From night one Freddie was calmer in going to sleep and we couldn’t believe how quickly the night time waking stopped whilst all the time feeling confident that we knew what to do if he did wake.
Camilla was like a personal therapist - I was able to talk to her every day about the previous night which I found most helpful. She even equipped us with top tips for what to do once the 14-day plan was over so that we never worried about regressing when Freddie became ill or if we took him away for the night. Talking to Camilla and using her plan on Freddie has been the most positive experience for us - our whole family is much happier as a result. Freddie began eating better and napping in a structured routine after we sorted out his nights. It has been amazing and if we ever had another baby again we would go straight to Camilla!”

“Before working with Camilla our 7 month old son was waking two or three times in the night. He would only nap whilst breastfeeding, which was around every two hours throughout the day for up to two hours at a time. I was exhausted and something needed to change!
Camilla came highly recommended from a friend who had had brilliant results with the plan. On the first night of the plan Sebby slept for 11 hours. After the first night he went straight to sleep after being put in his cot and would self-settle if he woke up. He now sleeps for 12 hours at night and naps twice a day in his cot for up to 2 hours per nap. His feeds are much better and he is very happy and content when awake. I also feel much more rested now I’m not being woken in the night to feed.
Camilla was great to work with and very attentive and reassuring throughout the whole process. It was so helpful to be able to discuss our progress and talk about any concerns on the phone and through messages. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is struggling with their child’s sleep - it is setting them up with good sleep habits for life”.

“Before working with Camilla our 6 month old son Noah, was waking anywhere from two to five times in the night. Some nights he ended up sleeping in our bed and my fiancé got sent to the spare room just so we could all get some shut eye! During the day he would only nap whilst in my arms too! I was exhausted and something needed to change!
Camilla came highly recommended from a few friends who had had excellent results with her plan. The first night and day were hard but Camilla was so encouraging and motivating that we felt completely supported. By the second full day things were already a million times better and we couldn’t believe it. He was settling himself to sleep at night and for naps within minutes with little to no crying. He slept through the night completely within a few days. I kept waking up wondering if he was ok because he was so quiet! Camilla talked to us every day either on the phone or WhatsApp or email. She was constantly answering our questions and helping us tweak timings while Noah got into his new routine. We had our room and our bed back and we were sleeping the entire night without interruptions - it was the best gift anyone could have given us! More than that though we could see our little boy was very happy and content! We cannot thank Camilla enough. She is so passionate about her work and more than anything she is kind and caring - she made us feel totally comfortable and we knew she understood exactly how we felt.
We highly recommend Camilla to anyone who is struggling with their child’s sleep - the routine and habits she has helped us implement are going to set us up for a long time to come”.

“I approached Camilla to help with my 19 month old as she was going through a sleep regression which had resulted in 2 months of very bad sleep (50% of the nights she was up crying for between 2-3 hours). This had led to us resorting to very bad sleep habits out of desperation (e.g., sleeping on the floor in her room) and left us feeling exhausted and low during the days. In two weeks, Camilla had successfully got our daughter back on track. She reviewed and changed our bedtime routine, nap length and interventions during the night. The results were immediate with our daughter sleeping through 10 of the 14 nights we worked together.
Camilla was very attentive and reassuring throughout, offering phone calls and messages of support. Having had sleep problems with her own son, Camilla could relate to what we were going through and offer continued guidance. I also feel equipped to ‘go it alone’ from now on as she has given us tips and advice to re-read in the future. As a parent who has struggled with sleep deprivation since my daughter was born, I cannot recommend enough getting professional help when you feel you need it. Camilla has been so wonderful, and I cannot thank her enough for helping us and allowing me to be a more energetic and happy mum again”.

“Camilla was recommended to me when our baby was almost 6 months and I was still up every 2 hours during the night having to feed her back to sleep. It was the only way I knew how, and I was exhausted. She also barely managed a total of 2 hours of napping during the day and she would only sleep in the pram. I had been apprehensive about sleep training as I thought she would eventually get there in her own time and I didn’t actually believe it would work. I laughed when Camilla told me how quickly I would see the results! I’d read so much online about how to make your baby sleep through the night that all made sense but I didn’t know how to implement any of it.
Camilla sent us the plan she had made for us following our consultation and by night 4 she slept for 12 hours straight, we couldn’t believe it. Everything got easier each day and by the end of the 2 weeks she would go to sleep almost straight away for the night and also for day naps. The first few nights were tough and I would worry she wouldn’t be able to adapt to the new routine. There is no way we could have achieved these results without the support, reassurance and encouragement from Camilla. We were amazed at how quickly the plan worked and we are all so much happier and well rested!”

“At 6 months old Max was sleeping 2-3hrs at a time all night and we had no certainty around timings or length of his daytime naps . Being our second child (our first was an amazing sleeper from early on without much help!) we had an idea of what we needed to do but wanted some help in structuring a plan and some support through the process. Max was born premature and had never been a good feeder or sleeper so we wanted some expert help and guidance. Camilla quickly reassured us and put together a comprehensive plan of action to be followed over two weeks. I was doubtful our bad sleeper / feeder would turn things around in such a short time but was incredibly surprised how quickly he fell into the new routine and by night 2 he was sleeping through until 4am and we had dropped all night time feeds. Things only got better from there and he is now sleeping through, doing two good naps and going down with little fuss - he has become our ‘amazing sleeper’! Camilla was an incredible support - always available to talk through how we were doing and provide real time advice on what to do for that next nap. This process has been so successful for us and Max is a happier baby who sleeps and feeds better and we are happier parents who finally have our evenings back!”

“We made the decision to get a sleep consultant for our son who was 2 years 8 months after 4 months of sleepless nights. Camilla was understanding and empathetic when it came to discussing our situation and gave us a plan that was easy to follow and gave us some hope! We’ve gone from cuddling our son to sleep every night with up to 5 wake ups and an early 4.30am start to being able to say goodnight and shut the door at 7pm and sleeping through till after 6am, with either none to 1 wake ups a night after only 2 weeks of the plan. Camilla has been there for phone calls and watsapp help throughout the whole time and has been such a positive person to have to help us. I highly recommend anyone having any sleep issues to get help from a sleep consultant, and especially Camilla! She’s the magic sleep fairy!”

“We were sent Camilla’s details by a friend after one of our worst nights with our son Wilfred. He was 9 months old and was waking every few hours, always up from 530/6 and napping badly- taking sometimes an hour to go down and then only ever having 30 mins and it had been this way- sometimes worse pretty much since he was 3 months old. I was feeding to sleep and knew i needed to stop. I was really anxious about sleep training as I found it so hard hearing him cry even for a few minutes and I had tried some plans online but just got really confused and overwhelmed. However as soon as I spoke to Camilla I felt ready and excited to do this and change Wilfreds sleep habits for the better. Camilla was so kind and helpful at every stage and having someone there to message and speak to each day made us really stick at it and feel 100% supported. I won’t lie- night 1 was hard and I cried a lot! But after 40 mins he was asleep on his own and only woke a couple times that night- resettling himself- which he had never done before! By night 3 he was sleeping through the night with no wakes at all (which had NEVER happened!) By day 5 he was reliably having 1.5 - 2-hour sleeps in the morning and 1hr sleeps in the afternoon and taking between 5-15 mins to go down each time- always without our help. I honestly couldn’t believe it could change so quickly. I had read lots of testimonials and thought -“oh that’s just the good stories they put online”- but it seriously worked and so quickly too. Within one week I could finally go out in the evening and feel reassured that he wouldn’t wake up. My husband felt involved and could do nap times and bedtimes as well as I could. We had time to do things in the day and the predictability to be able to plan our days better. And the most important thing to me... Wilfred was noticeably calmer and happier in the day. He was always a happy baby but often very full on and lively (probably over tired) - he wouldn’t concentrate on anything for more than a few seconds and would protest so much for nappies and clothes changes. After the training he was chilled, happy but still full of personality. I actively noticed that he was learning new skills faster and as a family we were enjoying time together SO MUCH MORE. I would highly recommend Camilla. She was so patient, supportive, knowledgeable and always at the end of WhatsApp message or the phone to talk things through. I wish we had met her earlier! Thank you so much for making our journey with our gorgeous boy even better than it was before. We will always be so grateful for the time you spent helping us”.

“By the time Oliver turned 6months I was tired, like waking up 6 times a night kind of tired. I missed my bed (I had been sleeping in Oliver's room to make it easier to tend to the constant wake ups) and the lack of solid sleep was taking its toll on my emotions, and I felt I had no energy for my eldest daughter. Not to mention that Oliver was pretty grumpy most days which I was sure was because he was just as exhausted. I got the go ahead from my paediatrician and clinic sister who both confirmed Oliver was healthy and didn't have any need for night feeds and that sleeping through the night was certainly possible. Camilla was just the perfect person to help guide me. She listened to my struggles and we came up with some goals and a plan of how we would get there. She had a ton of knowledge about sleep and it was interesting to listen to. Night one arrived and I was nervous but also excited to take the first step in reclaiming my nights. I followed Camilla's instructions step by step, it was actually pretty easy and because Camilla had instilled this confidence in me, I knew that I could manage the training process and it would be a benefit to us all! Our biggest step was saying goodbye to the dummy and helping Oliver learn the skill of self-settling. Well needless to say this little guy slept from 8-5 that first night, and he has consistently slept through the nights without any wake ups- no dummy and no feeding! A massive win! We then tackled the early wake ups and we now have a 7pm-7am sleeping baby! After 2 weeks with Camilla we have gone from a grumpy boy needing to be rocked for 30mins and waking multiple times a night with 5am wake ups, to a happy baby boy sleeping 12 hours and who can put himself to sleep for both night time and daytime sleep. Camilla was incredible. She checked in with me constantly. She encouraged me, reminded me of the goals and celebrated with me on every step we made in the right direction. When I had a question, or a nap didn't work out according to the plan she provided me with another option. The service was personalized and the best thing I could of done for us. If you are struggling with your baby's sleep do yourself a favour and contact Camilla, she will save you!”

“I am writing to let you know that we were away this weekend and Victoria was an absolute star despite being in a different environment and all the excitement of seeing her cousins and grandparents. She managed to go to sleep by herself in a different room, different cot (we did bring everything else with us: clock, sleeping bag, blanket, comforter) without ever protesting and slept all the way through as usual. Thank you so much again for your invaluable help and support and all the great tips you have given Joe and I.
Thanks to you Victoria is a much calmer child and she is now able to go to sleep by herself and nap in her cot. We would have never gotten there on our own. Despite Victoria's questionable sleeping habits, we both really appreciated the fact that we never felt judged at any point during the process. Your follow up through messages and almost daily calls was second to none. You were truly dedicated and caring throughout the whole process”.
