THE
TIRED MAMA METHOD.

Sleep is not just a behaviour. It is a biological system, a developmental stage, and a relationship experience happening all at once.

As a registered social worker, perinatal mental health clinician, and certified paediatric sleep coach, I bring a lens to sleep support that most coaches simply don't have- one that holds your child's development, your mental health, your family system, and the science of sleep all in the same room.

​

That means when we work together, we look at:

• Your child's biology and development - their actual sleep cycles, nervous system, developmental stage, temperament, and sensory profile. Not what a chart says they should be doing. What their body is actually doing.

• The attachment relationship- not as a reason to be afraid of every decision, but as the foundation we build from. Secure attachment grows through consistent, responsive care over time. Our work protects that.

• Your capacity and mental health- because a depleted parent is an attachment consideration, not a personal failure. If you are running on empty, that matters clinically. We don't ignore it.

• Your family system — the relationship between partners, siblings, cultural values, lifestyle, and what your family actually looks like. Sleep plans that ignore family context don't stick.

• Your values and choices- there is no ideology here, no side to pick. The full spectrum of approaches is on the table. What we choose depends on what fits your child, your relationship, and your life.

​

Every plan is built from scratch for your family. Depending on your child's age and your goals, we work through:

The science of your child's sleep- biology, hormones, sleep cycles, circadian rhythm, and what is developmentally normal at their stage. Understanding the why changes everything.

• Healthy sleep foundations- environment, light, temperature, sound, and the conditions that support your child's nervous system to settle.

• Sleep cues and windows- learning to read your child's specific signals before the overtired cycle takes hold.

• Developmentally appropriate expectations- what is realistic, what is a temporary phase, and what actually needs support.

• A plan that fits- responsive, warm, consistent, and built around who your child is and what your family needs.

• Ongoing support- because implementation is where most plans fall apart, and you shouldn't have to figure it out alone at 2am.

​

A clinician who collaborates. I work alongside paediatricians, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and mental health professionals- because sleep rarely exists in isolation, and your family deserves a connected team when needed.

A practice that is culturally humble. Sleep norms, family structures, and parenting values look different across communities and backgrounds. Your culture and context are not barriers to work around- they are part of how we build the right plan.

A commitment to honest, ongoing learning. Sleep science evolves. My practice evolves with it.

There is no perfect sleep method. There is the right method for your child, your family, and this moment in your life.

Let's find it together.
