Meet Laura
Paediatric Sleep Consultant
Registered nurse
Masters health promotion
Heya, I’m Laura
I’m a proud boy mum and wifey . I’m an ocean lover and sunset watcher. I love a vino on a Friday night and according to my husband I haven’t seen a single cult classic movie.
I’m a Registered Nurse and worked clinically in oncology and neurology at Royal Darwin Hospital for 4 years before moving to Perth to be closer to family. During this time I had a deeper desire to help people more holistically, so I then completed a Masters in Health Promotion through Curtin University.
When my first son was 7 months old my husband and I were in the depths of sleep deprivation and covid lockdowns. It literally felt like our world was crumbling and all our usual stabilities in life were beginning to crack; our health, our passions and our relationships . The Gentle Sleep Specialist program literally saved our livelihood by getting our sleep on track.
This is where it clicked. This is the job I am meant to be doing. Helping tired parents and their babes get the rest their bodies so desperately need. I have never wholeheartedly believed anything more than ‘a well rested household is a happy household’.
To me, having a happy household means more quality family time. And more quality family time means more precious memories while we help our little ones navigate this crazy world.
I know the idea of sleep training is daunting. I know you might be so tired that you worry your judgment is cloudy when assessing if this is the right choice for your little one. I’ve been there. I worried if my baby will lose his attachment, I worried if he will still know to call out for me when he needs me. I even questioned if the program would be worth the time and financial cost. But it is! Both my boys are very much attached. We have a well rested household and my mental clarity and ability to make decisions for my family has never been better. I’m here to support you. We will be working together to find what’s best for you, your baby and your family. I’m looking forward to speaking to you soon.
I look forward to working with you soon
