My Story

My journey into the world of autism, anxiety, and sleep support began with becoming an auntie to my wonderful nephew William, who is autistic; this created a deep desire to understand and help neurodiverse families. I noticed a significant gap in resources and support for these families, which fueled my passion to learn more. Through completing my training, research, personal experiences, and connecting with others, I gained valuable insights that shaped my approach. Today, I am dedicated to providing the support and information that families need, ensuring they feel understood and empowered on their unique journeys.

Up to 80 % of Autistic Children Struggle With Sleep

Traditional sleep training methods, such as "cry it out" or rigid schedules, often don’t work for autistic children because these approaches don’t account for the unique sensory sensitivities, communication challenges, and anxiety that many autistic children experience. Autistic children may struggle to self-settle or adapt to changes in routines, making conventional sleep strategies ineffective or even distressing. It’s important to get the right support tailored to their individual needs, focusing on creating a calming sleep environment, establishing predictable routines, and using gentle methods that prioritise emotional security. A specialised approach helps improve sleep in a way that respects their developmental differences, ensuring better long-term success.
