Hello, I am Shellie, founder of Sleepy Steps Sleep Consultancy.

I founded Sleepy Steps because I get it, I fully understand what it is like to have a child who refuses to go to sleep or struggles to stay asleep, I have been there, on my child’s bedroom floor praying to the sleep gods, but I never once asked for help, I didn’t want anyone to know I was struggling.

I am enthusiastic about empowering parents and families with the skills and knowledge needed to support their children to have more positive sleep routines.

The information online is such a minefield, and it is so hard to find what is right for you and your child. I have since realised that asking for help is not something to be ashamed of, it is something you should be proud of and I want you to feel proud of that.

I have a wealth of knowledge and experience that can be used to support your child’s sleep needs, a bit about me below.

• Mum to two wonderful children.

• Level 3 OCN qualified sleep consultant

• A degree qualified early years specialist with over 21 years of experience working in day nurseries with children aged 0 to 5 years.

• Early year’s apprenticeship tutor

• SEND Lead

• Wife to a chief engineer.

You are the one who knows your child best, you just require a helping hand and a couple of adaptations to your bedtime routine, a sleep plan tailored to your needs, along with moral support and you can help your family to get the best from sleep times.

As an early years professional, it has always been my passion to give the children within my care and their families the best start in life. As a sleep consultant, I have the privilege to support you as the family to get the best out of those precious early years
