We used both the online program and the 1 on 1 phone calls and it changed our lives. Such a beautiful, supportive program. We are all sleeping again and so much happier!

We can’t recommend Sarah enough! As first-time parents, you don’t know what you don’t know, and Sarah made us feel completely at ease. Sarah gave us the confidence and support to make the changes we needed, even when it was hard.

The results have honestly blown us away, and as Sarah always said “the proof is in the pudding!” 😅 We are so grateful for her guidance and encouragement and feel so much more confident as parents because of it. 💕

We highly recommend Ange who has guided us through understanding all things sleep. She listened and catered a plan to suit our family that has helped tremendously.

A year later and she has given us more advice when needed through different transitions.

Ange is down to earth and is passionate about helping everyone involved. We can’t thank her enough!

Tara was so helpful with our 10 month old who had never slept through the night and was waking early! By the second night she was sleeping through and a few days in she was waking after 6am, all of this while she was unwell and she is in a rhino brace for hip dysplasia, highly recommend.

We came to the gentle sleep specialist as we couldn’t get our 14m old to go to sleep without rocking and was getting harder and harder to get her to sleep.

Within the first 4 days of working with Tara we got Bub to fall asleep on her own with no rocking and no dummy.

Has truly changed everyone’s sleep and been the best thing. We are so grateful for Tara and her amazing support xxx

We are soooo pleased with this program. We had the lovely Jo looking after us and she made the whole process feel easy and we were supported along the way.

We have twins and within the week they were both taking solid naps in sync during the day and also sleeping right through the night self settling with no early morning wakes!!

The kids are so much happier and I can see them meeting milestones quicker as they are actually sleeping! Wish I had done this sooner. Thanks again Tara and Jo xx

Tara and Jo have been wonderful in helping us with our little man’s sleep. We had A setback after surgery but Tara continued to help us beyond our 1:1 time.

What really sets Tara apart is how much she genuinely cares about the families she works with. Even after our 1:1 support had officially finished with one of the other specialists, she continued to check in with us every day, offering advice, reassurance and helping us make little adjustments. She never made us feel like we were on our own once our time on the program was up.

Tara is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and kind, and you can tell this is so much more than just a job to her. She truly wants the families she works with to succeed and goes above and beyond to help make that happen.

We are so grateful for everything she has done for us. If you’re struggling with your little one’s sleep and considering getting some support, I couldn’t recommend Tara more highly. She has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! 💗

We recently used The Gentle Sleep Specialist to seek support for getting our 2 year old back on track with her sleep - with a new baby on the way we could not manage having one of us in the room overnight with her, with multiple wake ups and 5am starts.

With support from Sarah who came to our home for an evening session and had daily phone check ins for 2 weeks, our daughters sleep was back on track within the 2 week period and she is falling asleep independently and staying asleep all night again. With no early morning rises!

Whilst we expect hiccups, we feel confident in our sleep plan Sarah put together for us and know that we can manage her sleep whilst she is safe and comfortable. We cannot thank Sarah and Tara enough and would recommend this program to anyone!

I cannot recommend Tara and Jade from The Gentle Sleep Specialist highly enough.

Tara first supported our family when our son was just 4 months old, and Jade helped again tweaking things when he was 18 months old. Their support has been about so much more than sleep—it genuinely had a positive impact on my mental health during a time when I felt exhausted and overwhelmed.

As a breastfeeding mum, I was constantly told that my son wouldn’t sleep through the night because I was breastfeeding. Tara and Jade gave me the confidence to trust my instincts, gently guide my son towards better sleep, and proved that all those comments simply weren’t true. They helped us get our nights back, while always respecting our parenting choices and never making me feel judged.

Their approach is so kind, gentle, and incredibly supportive. They are so generous with their time, knowledge, and resources, and I always felt like no question was too small. Every interaction left me feeling calmer, more confident, and reassured that I was doing a good job.

They are absolute angels and truly worth their weight in gold. I recommend them to anyone who asks—or anyone who even hints that they’re struggling with sleep or feeling overwhelmed as a parent. I will always be so grateful for the support they’ve given our family.

I also want to acknowledge Tara personally. Watching her build such an incredible business while also being a devoted mum is so inspiring. She leads with genuine care, integrity, and compassion, and it’s clear that helping families isn’t just her job—it’s her passion. She is a wonderful role model, and our family is so grateful that our paths crossed. Thank you, Tara and Jade, for giving us confidence, our nights back, and support we’ll never forget.

We honestly can’t thank you enough. We were really struggling with our son’s sleep and felt completely exhausted before reaching out. Your support, guidance, and reassurance were amazing and truly changed our lives.

He was waking every 30 minutes through the night, but within the first four days we saw a huge improvement. By two weeks, he was sleeping right through the night and he has ever since.

The difference it made to our whole family was incredible. We are so grateful for your knowledge, kindness, and encouragement throughout the process. I couldn’t recommend Tara more highly to any family needing help with their little one’s sleep.

Used the gentle sleep specialist online course for my first born. It is an absolute game changer. So much knowledge shared, a truely gentle way to teach your children how to sleep. Applied all the same techniques for my second born. They are both the best sleepers. All my mum friends comment on how lucky I am to have great sleepers. I say it’s not luck it’s the Gentle sleep specialist course. Thank you for making our parenting journey a million times better!

I used Tara and her team to help sleep train both my 6 month old and my 2 year old, and I honestly couldn't recommend them more highly.

They were incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. It was clear they genuinely cared about our family and took the time to understand our struggles.

The guidance and reassurance they provided made such a difference, and I would happily recommend Tara and her team to anyone who is struggling with their child's sleep. They are amazing at what they do!
