Does this sound familiar?
You’re exhausted — not just tired, but bone-deep tired.
Your child struggles to settle, wakes frequently, or fights sleep every single night. Bedtime feels tense, unpredictable, and far from the calm routine you imagined.
You’ve tried earlier bedtimes… later ones… cutting naps… stretching naps… Googling at 2am while wondering if you’re doing something wrong.
You’re hearing lots of advice — “Just leave them to cry,” “They’ll grow out of it,” “You’re creating bad habits” — and none of it feels right for you or your child.
You don’t want quick fixes or harsh methods.
You want sleep support that actually works in real life — and feels kind, supportive and achievable.
You’re not failing — your child is communicating
Sleep challenges aren’t caused by “bad habits” or poor parenting.
They’re often a sign that your child needs the right support, at the right time, in a way that suits their age, development and temperament.
Sleep is closely linked to emotional regulation, behaviour, learning and wellbeing — for both children and parents. When sleep is broken, everything feels harder.
That’s where I come in.
How I can help
I offer gentle, practical sleep support for babies, toddlers and young children — designed to fit your family, not force you into a one-size-fits-all routine.
Together, we’ll:
Understand why your child is struggling with sleep through analysing your Child’s sleep diary
Create a realistic, predictable routine that supports restful nights so you can get a full nights sleep
Build independent sleep skills without cry-it-out or guilt through supportive, gentle sleep methods
Reduce bedtime battles and night wakings so you can start enjoying night times again
Help you feel confident, informed and supported through personalised online support
No judgement. No pressure. Just clear guidance and reassurance every step of the way.
Why families choose Sleepy Steps
Sleepy Steps offers evidence-based guidance grounded in early years expertise, using gentle, responsive approaches that truly respect your child. Every plan is realistic and designed to work around your family life, not against it, with support that focuses on building confidence rather than chasing perfection. I will help you to regain your evenings and your sleep —helping you to set clear, loving boundaries and to create routines that support your child bringing calm back to your days and nights.
Imagine this instead…
You put your child to bed and the bedtime that feel calmer, no more battles, no more stress.
Nights with longer stretches of sleep meaning you all feel more rested in the morning.
A child who wakes happier — and a parent who feels more like themselves again because you have slept for the first time in months.
Better sleep doesn’t just change nights.
It changes everything.

Hi, I’m Shellie — and I’m so glad you’re here.
I know how overwhelming sleep struggles can feel. When your child isn’t sleeping well, it affects everything — your confidence, your patience, and your ability to enjoy family life.
I’m a qualified sleep consultant with a degree in Early Years, and I’ve spent years supporting families through the challenges of infant and child sleep. My approach is gentle, evidence-based and realistic — because I believe sleep support should feel supportive, not stressful.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all routines or leaving children to cry it out. Instead, I work with you to understand your child, your family and your goals, creating a plan that fits your life and feels right for you.
Most importantly, I’m here to support you — not judge you.
Together, we’ll build calm, predictable routines, strengthen sleep skills and help your family move towards better nights and brighter days.
You don’t need to do this alone — and you don’t need to get it perfect.
You just need the right support.
What I aim to do at Sleepy Steps
My mission is to support families to achieve better sleep through gentle, responsive guidance — empowering parents with the confidence, knowledge and tools they need to support their child’s sleep in a way that feels right for them.
I honestly cant thank Shellie enough. Before working with her we were running on fumes, felt like we’d tried everything and were so exhausted.
From the moment we spoke, she just got it/ She listened, she understood, and she made me feel so supported an hopeful. The plan she created was gentle, realistic, and actually worked for our family (not some rigid schedule like you find online).
Thank you so much - would highly recommend.
