A 45 to 60 minute call gives you a fully personalised plan, everything you need to know. Then we email you a copy of your plan. Followed by 2 weeks of daily support and guidance. No more doing this alone or second guessing.
Our warm and extremely knowledgeable consultant comes to you to teach the method, how to and set everything up in your space. Settle not included, you begin after they leave with 2 weeks of daily phone support.
Our consultant stays and does the first settle with you, walking through your whole plan hands-on so you are supported through the initial change. Plus daily support for 2 weeks afterwards.
The most hands-on option. Our consultant does the settle with you and stays through any wakings across the five hours, guiding your whole plan in real time.
Which one is right?
Every option gets you an initial consult, an emailed plan, the same two weeks of daily support (exc Sundays) and lifetime access to our education platform. The difference is how much of the settling we do beside you. Choose Phone if you feel ready to lead it yourself with daily guidance, our phone package is SUPER popular because the in-home option isn't always available and our success rate is no different. Step up to in-home, and the longer sessions, when you want more support in the room doing the settling with you and staying through the wake-ups. If you are worried about any upset, the in-home can be a great option. And if in-home is not an option, you can upgrade to phone support for your entire first settle, so you have support and guidance right there.

We can't thank Tara and The Gentle Sleep Specialist team enough. Five years ago we worked with Nicola for our son, and more recently with Jade for our daughter, Nellie.
Both of our babies seemed completely allergic to their bassinets for the first 4–5 months of life. A 30-minute stretch of sleep felt like a huge win, and every single nap was a contact nap.
Watching Nellie now is honestly incredible. She goes down for naps calmly and confidently, wakes only twice a night at most, and links her sleep cycles so well during the day that I often have to wake her from naps just to keep her on track for four naps a day.
Tara and her team are full proof.
I have tried multiple sleep programs, consults, online programs and nothing worked. I was incredibly skeptical about completing another sleep program, but Tara and the team at TGSS proved me wrong and left my husband swallowing his words.
The kindness, respect, honest and transparent communication and care we received was wonderful, at all times, I felt heard and that my little one was always okay.

SAFE guidelines.
Any change can bring some frustration or protest, especially if your child is used to falling asleep in a particular way. That doesn't make the change wrong, it simply makes it new.
Our role is to help you create a new familiar: one that feels safe, predictable, and supportive while building sustainable sleep habits. We offer a range of gentle approaches that mean you support your babe through change and encourage families to move at a pace that feels right for them and their child. Guess what! You will still be responding to your baby, you will still
comfort and in fact overtired means higher stress hormones. This is so beneficial to them.
As it is when they fall asleep will be what they expect when they waken. When they rely on external measures to fall asleep are what they rely on to also get back to sleep. When they
believe sleep is externally done for them they stay in lighter surface sleep, struggle to re settle and many seem like thay have low sleep needs. Your little one has picked up a pattern that
isn’t serving them or the family. You are allowed to make changes, this is parenting. This will be the first of many times you step into the role of making changes when something isn’t
serving your little one.
Your little ones well being and your bond is largely linked to materal well being. You matter,
rest matters, your relationships matter.
Want to know more check out this blog.
Poor sleep is linked to increased stress, reduced parental wellbeing, relationship strain, and difficulties with day-to-day functioning. For children, it can affect mood, emotional regulation, learning and overall wellbeing. The thing is there is no timeline for when this get’s better. Learning to sleep through or long stretches isn’t a developmental milestone when the main issue is learned patterns or behaviours around sleep. Let’s say you rock to sleep can
you imagine holding out to wait for the one day your little one might be like “no thanks mum, I've got this and I’ll sleep through” It is NOT worth the wait.
Our programs can help with:
- Frequent night waking
- Catnapping and short naps
- Difficult settles
- Nap transitions
- Sleep regressions
- Early waking
- False starts
- Bedtime resistance
- Lengthy bedtimes
- Teething, reflux, wind related poor sleep
- Inconsistent sleep
- Self-settling
- Feeding, rocking, or holding to sleep
- Needing a parent present to fall asleep
- Cot-to-bed transitions
- Split nights
- Low sleep needs children
Life happens, we can pause or assess what is best. Your consultant will guide you through these situations, helping you know when to pause, when to continue and how to get back on track once your child is feeling better.
Absolutely. We tailor your plan around your family's real-life routine, including daycare, shift work, school drop-offs, and returning to work.
Many families join us feeling exactly the same way. Most families have tried A LOT!
Our approach goes beyond schedules and sleep training methods. We look at the whole picture, including sleep pressure, feeding, temperament, attachment, development, sleep
associations, environment. Tara is one of the most experienced consultants in this field with over 12 years in sleep consulting alone, 19 years working with little ones. Most people come
to her with complex scenarios convinced their little one will be the one it doesn’t work for BUT it does. Tara is also a circle of security parenting expert with 19 years exp so don’t
worry she has toddler behaviour and parenting covered also. Plus you will have an expert guiding and supporting you along the way.
If you are doing the online and want more support consider our one on one packages.
Lasting sleep improvements happen when all the pieces come together, which is why our
programs are designed to help you understand your child, not just follow a plan.
Gentle Sleep is the program people turn to when nothing else has worked.
Remember though it takes commitment and if you need further help just reach out.
Every child is different, but many families notice positive changes within the first four days.
Reach out, you can always email us, we would absolutely love to help. You don’t have to do this alone. Sometimes it’s just a little extra guidance or support that makes all the difference. We are so confident we can help!
Yes. We work with children of all temperaments. In fact, many of the families we support describe their little ones as highly sensitive, determined, low sleep needs, alert, or strong-willed. I don’t believe these babes can’t get good sleep in fact I believe they need it even more. Their nervous systems will thank you! If you believe your child is low sleep needs use
a little more awake time than the guides suggest to begin with.
You'll receive access for 4 months, allowing you to revisit the content whenever you need it and navigate future sleep challenges with confidence. If you purchase the upgrade to the membership you will get ongoing access with a subscription fee monthly.
