I became a Mama at 21 to a beautiful little boy. I had always wanted to be a Mum, and from the moment he arrived, I was fiercely in love and incredibly protective.

I kept him close and rarely let him out of my reach. We were inseparable. I absolutely adored breastfeeding him, even through the many challenges it brought, and I was determined to make it work. I soaked up every snuggle and can honestly say I didn’t miss a single moment of those early days.

And that was possible because sleep mattered to me. I worked hard to build healthy sleep foundations early on, and that allowed me to actually enjoy those moments rather than simply survive them.

Just under two years later, I welcomed my second babe, a daughter. That night was the very first time I had ever spent away from my son, and it came with a whirlwind of emotions.

Her first year was also spent closely attached to me, breastfeeding and soaking up all the snuggles, while I chased after a very wild two-year-old who still barely left my side.

Then came my third babe, born the day before my firstborn turned seven. Somehow, we ended up with three May babies, born in 2014, 2016 and 2021.

Her first year was a completely different experience. We navigated severe eczema, allergies and intolerances, and once again, I was determined to breastfeed. I eliminated countless foods and did everything I could to support her, all while wearing her close and caring for her siblings. It took time, but we eventually found answers and learned how to manage it all.

But through every stage, one thing stayed the same. I was fiercely present. I needed to be. Sleep was the only time we were apart, and it was what allowed me to show up as the calm, capable Mama I wanted to be during the day.

And that’s why I do what I do now.

Because when sleep is supported, you get to truly enjoy your babies instead of just surviving the days.

When I left school, I completed my hairdressing apprenticeship and spent 10 years in the industry, taking time off each time I had a baby. As much as I loved parts of it, my little introverted soul found it incredibly draining, and I always struggled with the idea of going back once my maternity leave was up.

But motherhood… that was different.

I always knew I wanted to be a Mum, and from the moment I had my first babe in 2014, I was completely all in. I’ve genuinely loved every part of motherhood, the messy, raw, beautiful parts included.

Over the years, I followed a few Sleep Consultants who really inspired me. It was something I quietly dreamed about, but never truly believed I could do. I never saw myself as someone who could change direction or start something new. I already struggled enough trying to juggle part-time hairdressing and motherhood, so the idea of studying, running a business and raising my kids felt completely unrealistic.

Then, at the beginning of 2022, I was preparing to return to hairdressing after my third stint of maternity leave… and I just couldn’t do it.

After a lot of self-doubt, overthinking and more than a few tears, I finally decided to take the leap. It took a huge amount of inner work to get there. I was terrified of failing, of not coping, of spending our family’s money on something just for me. It felt massive and, honestly, scary as hell.

But I also knew I couldn’t ignore the pull any longer.

This wasn’t a whim. It was something that had been quietly building in me for years. And taking that leap changed everything.

Once I finally took that leap, I realised it actually wasn’t as hard as I had built it up to be. I was living in alignment with my soul’s purpose, and everything just clicked into place.

Studying to become a Sleep Consultant while juggling all the other parts of life felt surprisingly natural. And running my own business has felt the same. I genuinely love what I do, and the passion is so real. I couldn’t be more obsessed if I tried.

I get to spend my days supporting other mamas through their parenting journey. I get to connect with like-minded women, hold space for them, and walk alongside them during some of their most vulnerable seasons. And honestly, I wouldn’t trade that for anything.
