A Whole-Family Approach to Better Sleep

Every child is different, and sleep is influenced by more than just routines. I consider your child's development, temperament, health and environment alongside your family's individual needs to understand the bigger picture.

From there, I'll create a personalised sleep plan with clear, achievable steps towards better sleep. My approach is gentle, evidence-led and respects your parenting choices.

What We'll Look At

Sleep Patterns: Night wakings, naps and settling.

Development & Wellbeing: Age, temperament, health and feeding.

Environment & Routines: Sleep environment, daily rhythms and habits.

Family Needs: Your lifestyle, preferences and parenting approach.

Additional Support: Identifying potential concerns and recommending appropriate healthcare professionals when needed.

A Little About Me

Hi, I'm Tarryn.

I'm a mum of two young children, and I've experienced firsthand how relentless sleep challenges can be. I know what it's like to try everything and still feel no closer to a solution.

My daughter's sleep challenges taught me that there's no one-size-fits-all approach, while my son's allergies showed me how closely sleep is connected to a child's overall health and wellbeing. These experiences led me to become a Certified Holistic Sleep Coach (OCN Level 6).

I believe you shouldn't have to choose between better sleep and your parenting instincts. There are gentle, effective alternatives to cry it out and rigid sleep training methods.

My role is to uncover what's contributing to your child's sleep difficulties and create a clear, personalised plan to help your family get the rest you need.

Some words of gratitude

“Tarryn worked with assisting my 2 year old with his sleep. We found her to be not only kind and considerate of how we were already working with our routine but offered a whole range of knowledgeable ways to encourage a better sleep, particularly through the night. Tarryn's holistic and gentle approach really fitted with our values and we are so glad we chose to go with her.”
Antonia, Bondi Beach

Some words of gratitude

“After many sleepless nights, Tarryn created us a personalised sleep plan that addressed our unique needs and challenges. With her guidance and support, we were able to establish a consistent sleep routine, which led to my 1 year old finally sleeping longer stretches and no more false starts at bedtime!”
Rikki, Bondi Beach

Some words of gratitude

"We came to Tarryn exhausted and unsure what else to try with our 18-month-old’s sleep. Not only did she guide us through gentle strategies that actually made a difference, but she also picked up on things we hadn’t even considered might be affecting our child’s sleep. Because of her, we found the right support — and finally started getting some rest."
Katie, Thirroul
