Emma Gawne

I am a firm believer that new parents can really be helped by being supported and educated about the physiology of our infant’s needs. Combining my previous years working as a nanny and my own personal experience, I went to on to study comprehensively. I have worked with hundreds of families to create the optimal environment and setting for sleep with good foundations laid for success for the whole family. I feel passionately about helping parents get the rest and downtime that they so desperately need when they have young children to look after. I strongly believe that parents hold the key to their children’s sleep needs and I work with families to give them the confidence and faith in themselves to meet these needs.

Using my extensive knowledge of sleep science and what is developmentally appropriate for your baby, I help identify patterns, behaviours and external factors that may be contributing to baby sleep problems. I will then work with you to develop a tailored plan including practical tools and techniques focused on improving sleep routines for your baby which will benefit the whole family. As a holistic coach, my approach is very gentle and supportive of the child. I believe in supporting the child to learn to sleep on their own whilst respecting their developmental needs and without using any methods involving “controlled crying” or “rapid return”. All babies are individual and very rarely is there only one reason why your little one won’t sleep. I always endeavour to find a bespoke plan for you and your family that takes into consideration the fact that your little one’s needs are not only physical but also psychological, emotional and relational.

As a firm believer in evidence-based sleep coaching, I have trained extensively and continue to invest in my knowledge and training every year. My training and qualifications include: The Holistic Sleep Coaching Programme. The MNT (Maternity Nurse Training) The IMPI (International Maternity and Parenting Institute) I am a member of the Association of Birth and Baby Professionals (ABBP) and the (International Association of Child Sleep Consultants (IACSC). My client testimonials demonstrate my dedication to helping the families I work with. “I have felt so supported since working with Emma. She takes a wonderful holistic approach to help conquer sleep issues. We have successfully night weaned and have our daughter sleeping in her cot after following Emma’s easy to follow plan. I just know without her we would not have come as far as we have! So grateful to the hard work Emma puts in to help families struggling.“ S, Mum to F, 20 Months.
