Meet Sam

Registered Nurse
Paediatric sleep consultant
Newborn Sleep Specialist

Hi, I am Sam,
I wear a few hats.... I am a Mum, a Nurse and I work alongside these wonderful ladies as a Sleep Consultant and assisting Tara with day to day admin for TGSS.

I am passionate about helping people. I truly find happiness in knowing I have made someone's journey better, transition easier, day brighter. I am a Mum to 3 beautiful children. We have teen twins, and a 3yo little boy. To say its always been easy would be a huge fib. I did those first couple of years parenting twins, almost by myself. Of course I loved being a Mum, its the greatest gift of all, but boy it was tough. Sleep was...terrible. I was in survival mode. We were all tired and in need of some help. I did reach out to what was available at the time and I was disheartened and felt more desperate than ever to seek change.

My now husband came to join in the fun and when the twins were only 3 years of age, giving us that huge hug that we all needed. After years of hoping, wishing and praying we fell pregnant with our littlest man. After 11 years I was going to be a Mum to a newborn again, but this time it was different. Just as exciting but I had a village surrounding me and the biggest change of all - KNOWLEDGE. I did research, I read, I reached out to this village and I accepted Tara's advice.. I know the juggle I had teenage twins, a Fifo husband, multiple jobs , including shift work. I soaked up the 4th trimester, was conscious of creating sustainable habits, and when the time was right implemented simple changes.

Before we knew it our family was THRIVING. Our family was complete and our already full hearts were truly enjoying the journey. I started to work alongside Tara managing her incomings and assisting her on the daily. I read the outpouring of people needing help, some at a point of desperation, and the reviews from all of the families that TGSS had helped. I was in awe and I needed to be a part of this. I wanted to help these families, so my training to be a Sleep Consultant began. Of course this is primarily about educating people, but it's more than that.

Heavily relying on a background in Health to be able to trouble shoot and refer. To know when your clients needs to wrap them in a big hug. I am here for it all. My interest lies in providing SUPPORT. I have experienced both sides. The whole no sleep gig and the toll it has on your child and family. The absolute joys of having good quality sleep and thriving as a family. I wholeheartedly believe in what we do. I see the changes in parent's voices, their confidence, their babe's settle and flourish and families move forward happily. I am so proud to work alongside the caring and loving team that is TGSS.
