Creating a Calmer Bedtime: Gentle Sleep Support for Families

Children’s sleep can change quickly as they grow, and it’s completely normal for families to experience periods of unsettled evenings or disrupted nights. I work with parents across Bristol and the South West to offer gentle, responsive sleep support that focuses on understanding each child’s needs and creating a more relaxed bedtime rhythm.

Every child develops at their own pace, and their sleep reflects this. For babies, support often centres around recognising cues, shaping a predictable flow to the day and helping them feel secure as they adjust to the world around them. Toddlers may go through phases of bedtime resistance or night waking as they test boundaries and explore independence. Older children sometimes need reassurance and steady guidance if changes at school, busy days or worries begin to affect their nights.

My approach is warm, supportive and grounded in understanding each family’s unique routine. Instead of offering strict rules or rigid schedules, I look at what feels manageable for you and your child. Small adjustments to timing, environment or evening structure can often make bedtime feel calmer and more predictable.

Many parents say that having personalised sleep support helps them feel more confident as they navigate tricky phases of sleep. Together, we explore gentle steps that fit naturally into your home life and help your child settle with greater ease.

I offer support both online and in person for families throughout Bristol and the wider South West. Everything is paced carefully, always with your child’s wellbeing and comfort at the centre.
