"Brilliant!"
One of the biggest things I've gained from Josie is a real understanding of how sleep works, how much baby needs, and the mechanics behind that. I've found this totally invaluable, particularly the wake windows, as it has really helped me understand without just being told what to do. Josie has given me a routine and a structure without ever feeling trapped within it, it has felt flexible for family life whilst still giving a framework to follow. She was motivating and encouraging, especially at points when I was feeling despondent and exhausted, and always helped me see the bigger picture in a kind, calm and reassuring way. She was very adaptable when we decided we needed to change our original plan and was extremely patient with me to allow me to get to the point when I realised I needed to make a change. She gave me support above and beyond what I ever expected and always offered advice without judgement. There was never any feeling that there was a "certain way" to do things and she really took the time to understand me and my needs and concerns.
Our whole family is immensely grateful for the help Josie has given us. I could never have imagined the amazing amount of daily support I've received. We are now all much happier and better rested thanks to Josie. I've also seen big developmental leaps over the last few weeks and I 100% put that down to my little one getting much better sleep, which is so wonderful to see. Thank you thank you!

"Life Saver!"
Josie has been so supportive and understanding with helping our 4 month old get into a routine and into his cot for naps and nighttime sleep as he only felt comfortable sleeping on us. Josie took the time to listen to what we wanted and learnt all about my little one (Preemie baby and suffering with silent reflux) Within the first couple days my little one was sleeping in his cot for naps and he was doing 4/5hr stints at night! He is even starting to self settle! She has also been there for the tricky days - vaccinations and being poorly - and shown us that even if you have a bad day you will always get back on track!
My little one suffers with silent reflux. Josie is very knowledgeable when it comes to reflux and how it can affect their sleep and was there to advise me on how I could help make my little one more comfortable, including advice on what to ask the doctor.
I’m so glad I got in contact with Josie, she had helped my family immensely and continues to do so now. Not only is my 2 year old getting some very much needed 1 on 1 time, my husband and I finally have our evenings back!

"Settled 4 Month Daughter"
We were 6 weeks into my 4mo old daughter not sleeping well day and night. I genuinely thought that waking up 7-8 times was never going to end! I tried everything! I had reached rock bottom and sleep deprivation was taking it’s toll! I honestly thought that nothing would work and that we were an extreme case. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and I am so thankful that we chose Josie to help us in such a challenging time. Not only was she empathetic and supportive she was knowledgeable about sleep and the possible reflux/allergies impacting our daughter It was nice to feel like someone was on your side rather then being ignored or not listened To like I had been from other professionals.
I received a comprehensive plan to support the work in improving my daughters sleep. In 5 days we’ve gone from 7-8 wakes ONLY settling with breastfeeding and waking every 40-70 minutes. She is now feeding twice a night and doing stretches over 4 hours. She also settles herself to sleep in her cot for bed time and naps which I thought was impossible. I feel educated in how to use wake windows and naps but also have a life in the day I have control back! I couldn’t thank Josie enough.

"From exhausted to rested parents ;)"
Our son was waking up 3,4 times a night and the only way we could settle him was by breastfeeding. This was extremely disruptive for all of us, we were exhausted. After talking to Jesie I can literally say our life changed. In just 2 days (which i thought it is impossible) our son slept throughout the night. And after that, even if he was waking up, it was just one time, and we were managing to apply what we learn and calm him without the need to breastfeed. We are so much more rested now, cannot recommend her enough.
She was so kind, always listening to us, responding very quick to all our queries and reassuring us that her methods will work, and indeed they have. Will absolutely write to her if we have any issues with my son's sleep

"Fantastic!"
I’ve been lucky enough to work closely with Josie who has been supporting us with our daughters sleep. Josie was supportive, knowledgeable and reassuring. She has helped turn our serial cat napper into a happy little baby who is soundly sleeping for longer periods for her day time naps, now sleeping for up to 2 hours at a time.
We saw improvements within three days (we are still in shock now!), which has continued over the past few weeks and Josie also offered us the tools to implement this not only from home but also on the move!
Josie also offered some insight into some possible silent reflux and digestive issues for our daughter which she believes are linked to her eczema, and has also supported us in this area too. We have seen some great improvements so far and feel this will continue to improve in the coming weeks. Josie was so helpful in helping us identify possible causes and coaching us on how to handle them and making tweaks to her feeding and eating schedules support her. Having battled with GPs to get support, it was fantastic to have someone so knowledgable help us and to see results.
We couldn’t recommend Josie enough!

"Silent reflux"
My 6 week old son has been suffering with silent reflux and tummy pain since he was 2 weeks old and I was looking everywhere for answers with no luck from GPs. I came across Josie and I cannot thank her enough for her support and help. She carefully took me through all of the possible causes and which steps to take if something didn’t work. If it wasn’t for her my son would also still be 80% tongue tied as I was previously told he was fine but she listened carefully to his symptoms and gave me such great advice. I highly recommend Josie!
