“Thank you Fran. The guidance and support you’ve given over our week of support was exactly what I needed. Your gentle, patient and judgement free approach was extremely valuable to me. I have learnt so much about my babies sleep needs, can read him better and feel more comfortable doing this without your assistance now. I didn’t quite understand the importance of day sleep until you’ve shown me. My boy is happier and sleeping better. Your hours of availability and responsiveness is exceptional, which made this experience calm. I always felt like I was a priority and never forgotten. Thanks again, I’ll definitely be in touch if I need further support.”

“From the first consult, Fran was so knowledgeable, engaged and passionate. She worked with us to tailor a plan that felt manageable, achievable and right for us. Our pēpi has high sensory needs and a pretty sensitive temperament, so she was a little stubborn and resistant to change at times! But Fran was so accomodating and helped us to tweak the plan as we went, meaning we were able to troubleshoot rather than feeling discouraged.
There is so much advice out there about baby sleep that we had become really overwhelmed. It’s so hard to know what’s right for your baby, but Fran is so knowledgeable and provided so many amazing resources as well as evidence-based advice about our pēpi, specifically.
Being first time parents we can be really hard on ourselves, but Fran was so encouraging and really validated our experience. She made sure we felt really empowered to make changes while also being supported and having all the information that we needed.
Fran helped us make big changes in a really short time - things we literally thought were impossible! And since working with her we have so much more confidence around our pēpi’s sleep! We cannot thank you enough Fran!!”

“We really could not have been any happier with our experience working with Fran. She acted with such professionalism, kindness, confidence and warmth from our very first interaction and every other time we communicated since. We advised Fran on what we were looking to achieve with our baby girl and by the end of our 4 weeks working together, we had achieved that. I felt constant reassurance and support from Fran and could not have asked for a better sleep consultant to work with us on this journey. I would recommend Fran to any families that are looking for support with their little ones around sleep and that might be anxious around sleep training techniques, as Fran has shown us this can be approached in a lovely gentle way.”

“Working with Fran has been incredible. She was patient, kind, supportive, and so knowledgeable. Fran put me at ease while navigating the challenges that comes with baby sleep. I now have a better understanding of sleep for my little one which has removed a huge amount of stress from our lives. Even if my little one throws a curve ball with her sleep, since working with Fran it has given me the tools to get us through these times. I would recommend Fran to anybody that needs help with sleep. Not only of Fran so knowledgeable, she is a truly kind woman which comes through in her work.”

“Fran was truly incredible! She has such a calm and nurturing energy. She made us feel completely supported, never judged, and gave us real practical strategies to help the whole family have a better relationship with sleep. I was so surprised when Fran was attentive to our needs as parents - she really cared that we were in a good place, and it felt like we were an important part of the picture when supporting our little one (rather than being the lowest priority, as most parents would relate to). Fran was always creative and responsive to the challenges that we faced, it felt like she provided approaches that were specific to our needs, rather than just giving out generic advice. Fran helped us with our youngest (3 years old) and we also have a ten year old, and I have found her approach has been helping us to support him with his sleep too. When our eldest was a baby we had a really rough time with his sleep. I read sooo many sleep books and mostly they just provided a bunch of fuel for me to criticise myself about what I was doing wrong. All the books I read spend the first half of the book explaining why every other 'method' is wrong and harmful and abusive, and so then when their approaches didn't work I felt like a bad parent for 'resorting' to other approaches that they had demonised. I say all this to explain how working with Fran has helped me to unravel years of guilt and false ideas of what I 'should' be doing, and has reminded me that our family is what is important, and we do what we can to support each other and look after ourselves. I am so grateful to Fran and will miss her terribly! Every family with a baby or toddler needs a Fran on hand! Can we get a government supported army of Fran's in operation please? Kia ora rawa atu, arohanui Fran.”

I can't recommend Fran enough! Fran communicated every step of the process clearly and was always available to answer my questions, which really put me at ease. She took the time to understand our unique needs and provided actionable steps that worked for our family. Her gentle, responsive approach was just what we needed to help our little one fall asleep in his cot and nap for longer. I think what I appreciated most about working with Fran was how much more confident I felt to try new approaches and follow my baby's sleep cues. Thank you so much for everything, Fran.

“Fran was amazing from start to finish. She took the time to get all the information she could on where our biggest issues were and then tailored a plan that worked towards the goals we agreed on, while working within our parenting style. We came out the other side with earlier bedtimes and longer uninterrupted sleep, a huge win for the whole family. Thanks so much Fran!”

— Deborah F

“We had some dramatic improvements in our daughter's frequency of night wakings rapidly with some really manageable adjustments to our routine. Fran was respectful of our preferred parenting style, listened to our knowledge of what likely wouldn't work for our whānau and we worked together to identify the best approach and outcome.”

— Nick P

“It was really fantastic working with Fran. The customised plan for our almost 3-year-old allowed a slow transition to a new bedtime which was sensitive to our son’s separation anxiety, resulted in fewer tantrums leading up to bedtime and a happier bedtime routine. The check-ins were great for any extra questions we had throughout the week while also keeping us accountable to the plan and in a routine that we have easily continued. Thank you so much for getting our little one to sleep happy!”

— Beth & Andrew W

“Fran was an absolute pleasure to work with. She has a gentle and approachable manner, truly listens, and offers thoughtful advice. She provides practical solutions supported by tools and insights, all while respecting and working within our existing routines. Her support was instrumental in helping us achieve the best outcome tailored to our family’s needs.”
