Who We Are
Who are the people behind the scenes?
We are all parents ourselves and we are hugely passionate about sharing and collaborating to give you a truly unique supportive experience.
We have worked together over the past couple of years supporting one another behind the scenes, sharing ideas, evidence based theory and strategies and having countless discussions about our own parenting experiences and what it really means to us in reality to be gentle/responsive parents.
We came together by chance, with a shared love (some may say obsession!) for learning, and our professional and personal developments and most of all to empower, support and encourage parents.
We met through the Holistc Sleep Coaching Programme where we are all certified to degree level in holistic sleep and discovered a united passion for all things evidence-based and responsive.
Most importantly we want to help parents, who, like us, have struggled through sleeplessness, developmental milestones, feeding, allergies and reflux, health and sensory needs, anxiety and stress and much more.
We are excited to share our voice and our passion with you.
