Sleep Space

We were really at a loss with our little ones sleep.. months of hourly wakes with much upset from all parties. We engaged Madi as her gentle approach to sleep work really resonated with us. Working through Madi’s toolkit we found our girl to be particularly sensitive so we really took it slowly under Madi’s guidance. While we didn’t achieve a “sleep through the night” scenario, we did end up a much happier family through:- a true understanding of normal infant sleep: babies wake up, it’s normal and protective against SIDS- comfort is a need like any other, some babies just need a little more- lots of tools to gently work towards independent sleep at a pace suited to our family- understanding that sleep training is a choice, you don’t have to sleep train even when everyone else seems to- understanding there are no real rules when it comes to sleep, if it works for us then it worksMostly valuable though was the confidence I got from working with Madi, I know my baby best and I can make whatever decisions I like in her best interest.Madi was also very responsive, always replying promptly and being flexible to suit us. Thanks for your help in bringing some calm to our family!

Madi visited our home to help guide us on our then 5mos old's sleep challenges. She was very personable and had great advice around following age-appropriate wake windows and recommendations for our baby's sleep environment. Two weeks of support via email was part of our package but we found the daily logs hard to keep up with and would have benefited from weekly check-in calls to talk through how we're going instead. Perhaps something to incorporate for the future! All in all, we recommend Madi as a starting point and sounding board if you're not quite sure where to begin with your baby's sleep or if you're feeling overwhelmed and need non-judgemental advice. :)

I booked a “sleep baby, sleep” package with Madi at 3am one night in a moment of pure desperation. I was considering getting professional help for a while - but always found help seeking hard so struggled to bite the bullet and book it. I am so glad that we invested in our baby’s sleep (and our own well-being!). So if you are unsure - take my advice and just book. Madi did a thorough intake and I found her validating. She empathised with my sleep deprivation and was really respectful of my wishes around wanting to foster attachment. She was gentle in challenging what this meant for me and my baby (aka needing to find other alternate ways to soothe and support sleep). I had underestimated our little girl and assumed a different approach wouldn’t work. I was feeling helpless so needed Madi’s support to implement and use the strategies - I do not think I would have got there myself. Our little one got sick in the middle of our support period and Madi was flexible and paused our sleep log to allow her to get better. Thank you again Madi for your thoughtful, evidence based and empathic work - we are all far more rested, better connected and less stressed about sleep now. Well worth the investment :) x

If you’re on the fence about booking a consult, just do it!Felt like Madi understood our family dynamic and goals from the first phone call. We had 2 main goals;- move from bed sharing to having our son sleep in his own cot- less frequent night wakes so we could all get some better quality sleep.Within the first week our son was sleeping happily in his own cot and went from hourly wake ups down to just 1-2 per night. We were able to achieve our goals and still be super responsive to our son and his needs. Highly recommend Madi to anyone who needs sleep support! Thanks Madi, you’re a gem!

Thank you so much Madi for all your guidance and support. We reached out to Madi when our daughter was 15 months old and still waking+breastfeeding 2-4 times a night and I was starting to lose my sanity after 15 months of sleep deprivation. With Madi’s support we put a new routine in place that suited us and very gently approached night weaning. Within a couple of weeks our daughter was sleeping through the night, only occasionally needing resettle. We are all so much happier getting more sleep and my only wish is that we reached out sooner. Madi’s approach is gentle and supportive and realistic given not all babies will respond the same way.Thank you Madi, you are a lifesaver.Josie

Madi helped us with our daughters sleep when we needed it most. Her approach is gentle and responsive and we felt supported and listened to by Madi. At 15months she helped me gently night wean my daughter and get back some precious sleep. We are so grateful for Madi’s guidance and generosity

Madi is a breath of fresh air in the world of baby sleep. She is kind, funny, non-judgemental and genuinely cares about your family and your little one navigating sleep in a way that best suits you as a family unit.Madi supported us through nap scheduling changes, night time routines and how to best set up our daughter's room to help her sleep.I was able to send videos to Madi to get her input on my daughters behaviours before sleep, texts to get advice and help as it was needed and have her cheering us on every step of the way.Madi not only helps with schedules, sleep environments, settling techniques and the like, she also helps you gain confidence around sleep.I don't hesitate to recommend Madi to everyone who asks for advice or support around sleep.She helped transform sleep in our household and we are so so grateful.

I came to Madi to get help understanding my babies sleep habits. She was kind, caring, and personable. Madi took the time to understand my little ones schedule, and the finer details and it really made the difference in finding out how we could assist my babe in sleeping more independently.Madi does not have a one size fits all approach and she works with you to find a solution that you are comfortable with long term. She also makes herself available for follow up questions, which was invaluable when trying to implement new routines and changes.I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for guidance on sleep.

I am so incredibly grateful that I have Madi helping me through our sons sleep patterns. I feel lighter every time I speak to her & walk away feeling so confident! Madi completely understands that every baby is different but also makes me feel so normal at the same time. It honestly just feels like you’re talking to your friend but they’re about to save your sleep. Cannot recommend Sleep Space enough.

Madi helped us to completely turn around our 7 month olds sleep! We went from waking every 2 hours for a couple of months to waking twice a night. As well as that we transitioned from a feed to sleep routine to a gentle in-cot routine and our baby is happy and comfortable falling asleep in her cot. Equally as important as the increased sleep is the reduced level of anxiety and stress we have around nap and bedtime now, it's life changing. Madi was gentle, non judgemental and incredibly supportive. We really appreciated the different methods and options she went through and the reasons behind things. We can't recommend her enough!
