Sleep for Families

Improving your sleep can be life changing

Helping families achieve better sleep is central to my approach.

As parents or caregivers, you play a crucial role in your child’s well-being, and I’m here to support you in ensuring that your whole family sleeps soundly.

Through a collaborative approach, I work with families to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to address your child’s sleep difficulties.

My recommendations are always tailored to your family’s unique strengths and priorities, with a focus on understanding and resolving the underlying causes of sleep issues.

I help with a range of child & teen sleep challenges

Sleep-related anxiety

Difficult bedtimes

Teen sleep issues

Difficulty falling asleep

Difficulty staying asleep

Waking too early

Ongoing Support

We can have regular follow-up consultations (typically weekly or bi-weekly) to finetune strategies and ensure you are progressing towards restful, restorative sleep.

How I Can Support Your Family?

Using evidence-based, psychologically grounded approaches, I can help you to:

Understand Your Child’s Sleep

Gain insights into how your child’s sleep patterns work and identify what’s disrupting them.

Ease Bedtime Struggles

Shift the focus away from difficult bedtimes, creating a more peaceful and positive sleep environment for your child.

Flexible Sleep Support

Online appointments at a time that suits you means we can work together wherever you are in the world.

During your consultation we will talk about the problems you’ve been having. I will assess your sleep needs, ask you about your goals, and provide feedback and recommendations.

Consultation cost: $150 USD per hour

Testimonials

“We reached out to Nicola as we were struggling with bedtime which seemed to go on forever. We were getting worried that we were all not getting enough sleep as a family. She took the time to get to know us and she offered a range of solutions that fit our parenting beliefs and style best. Her recommendations were easy to implement and turned out to be highly effective.”

During this time Nicola and I worked on a range of projects: redeveloping our Well Being curriculum, providing professional learning and supporting young people in classroom settings, groups programs and individually. Nicola's expertise around teenagers sleep and her strength based approach allows her to connect with everyone she interacts with. Her ability to work with young people and their families from a range of backgrounds highlights her culturally responsive perspective."
