Hello!
Wondering who's behind Baby Steps to Rest? I'm a mum of two young girls (2 and 4), who's been exactly where you are now - navigating sleepless nights and searching for answers. I am sleep obsessed and I love helping tired parents find their path to better sleep. Check my Instagram to really get to know me...
Meet Me
My name is Denise, and my journey into sleep consultancy began where many parents find themselves - desperately reading everything about baby sleep while cradling my first daughter at 3 am. Like many mothers, I quickly discovered that the often repeated advice of 'drowsy but awake' wasn't quite the miracle solution it promised to be!
​
My husband and I navigated months of sleep deprivation whilst dealing with what felt like the ultimate sleep association: breastfeeding. It reached a point where my daughter wouldn't accept any other form of comfort, and we were all struggling to cope.
​
Taking the step to sleep train her was transformative - it quite literally changed our lives. Watching our daughter thrive with proper sleep gave me a new perspective on what's possible when you have the right support.​
When our second daughter arrived, I found myself overwhelmed and far more exhausted than with my first. I realised that sometimes even experienced parents need guidance.
​
These experiences shaped my passion for helping other families find their way to better sleep. Because sometimes, the smallest changes can make the biggest difference - I know this firsthand.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​
Working with a brilliant sleep consultant opened my eyes to the profound impact that professional support can have during these challenging times.
