Hellooooo

​

Let’s get the boring, I know what I am doing, formalities out of the way, - I have been a paediatric nurse for over a decade (think kids, not feet, because feet are totally not my thing!). I have a Bachelor of Applied Science Psychology and a Bachelor of Nursing with postgraduate studies specialising in Paediatrics and Child Development. I am a Mumma to my two beautiful babes nearly 3 year old Freddie and 2 year old Goldie with another one on the way!

​

Never ever in my wildest dreams pre-kids (because this is probably as wild as dreams get in your mid 30s) did I realise I would become some sort of sleep obsessed nutter, but here I am, sharing Kippers and my sleepy wisdom with the world as a Certified Infant and Child Sleep Consultant.

​

There is already so much noise out there. It’s overwhelming, confusing and contradicting. Kippers is here to navigate through the noise and bring clarity. Infants sleep is a wild ride and just when you think you’ve got it figured out something changes. I am here to share my Kip Tips, the importance of early foundations and how to ride the wave of those swift-changing early years!

​

What sort of sleep consultant am I? A passionate, dedicated, invested (borderline obsessive) one. I am the kind that just gets it – every baby is unique, and their sleep should be treated as such. I truly believe nothing is a problem unless it is a problem for you!

​

If the sleep deprived life is not your cup of tea, I am here to unpack what is no longer working. I make a (very good!) plan. I hold your hand every step of the way while we get (very dreamy) results! Often little (sometimes big) tweaks and changes are all that’s needed!

​

I truly believe every single baby can sleep well. 

​

We can’t survive without sleep, your baby can’t thrive without sleep and to be honest I am just a hot mess with a terrible unwashed mum-bun without sleep. Let’s say goodbye to sleepless nights and hello to well-rested brunches, lunches and arvo wines (because, let’s be real, that’s what mat leave is all about, rightttt?!!)
