About Danielle
My journey to helping babies sleep began over 25 years ago as I worked with families in the early childhood setting ranging from 6 weeks to 5 years. I then had 3 beautiful children of my own and soon realised how my greatest source of stress was also my greatest source of peace, so challenging and yet equally rewarding.
I then worked in Pharmacy as the Baby Club Co-Ordinator which helped me develop product knowledge specific to babies and children, it also enabled me to liaise closely with the Maternal Child Health Nurse to advise and support our members.
Studying Midwifery became my greatest achievement and allowed me to follow my passion to helping women and families experience an empowering birth experience, and also witness them transform into a beautiful family.
The continuum of support has led me to completing my certification in Baby and Toddler Sleep consulting. My knowledge on the science of sleep has developed through this amazing journey and I’ve been privileged to walk beside and gently guide families through a holistic approach to get the much needed sleep they all deserve.

“Being a parent is like nothing else in life, you will never feel as happy, as sad, as exhausted or so incredibly in love. That’s what makes it the best job in the world.”
