Sleep Rescue

Sleep Rescue has changed our lives we have gone from having a 9 month old who was waking 10-15times a night sometimes more and feeding overnight every few hours to sleeping 12 hours right through without waking and no dummy!!! Gabrielle was extremely supportive throughout the days and weeks that followed and although the first three days were the most difficult we saw results from the third night. I cannot thank you enough for the experience and what you have done for us. Thank you Gabrielle!

We were having a really hard time - struggling through the dreaded four month sleep regression" and were exhausted. The day after Gabrielle came to visit we were already getting 8 hours of sleep a night. After three days we feel like totally different people. We have more time for each other (without spending hours rocking our baby to sleep) and our baby is so much happier. You won't regret it! Sleep training isn't easy but after the visit we felt like we had the confidence to follow through with the plan."

I really thought my baby was different and it couldn't be done. All the 'book' drove me crazy cause they made it sound so easy!! But my 11 month old went from sleeping in bed with me and breastfeeding almost hourly to get back to sleep... to sleeping in her own cot in her bedroom and sleeping 12 hours straight within a few nights!Having Gabby in my home by my side was such a huge help. I honestly was not able to do it without her there because i was not confident about what was the right thing to do, and i was worried i was doing the wrong thing and just end up confusing and upsetting my daughter. So she came with a plan, and we followed it through and I haven't looked back. My daughter loves her sleep, and sleeps so well now... I would definitely recommend Sleep Rescue for any parents needing help and that like me, couldn't do it on their own.Also I originally contacted sleep rescue when my daughter was 7 months old, but never followed it through as i thought it might just be a phase and that she would grow out of it on her own. But by 11 months her sleep problems had escalated even more, and I realised i was not able to do it by my self. My daughter was exhausted, i was exhausted, my husband was exhausted and had started sleeping in the spare room.... and with sleep rescues help everything changed straight away!Now I have been able to teach my daughter to settle herself to sleep so when she does wake in the night she can get herself back to sleep. And we finally have our bed and nights back to ourselves!Sooooooo grateful that this type of service is available! (sorry for the rant but i cannot rave about my experience enough!)Oh and i should mention, my daughter is now 16months old and she still sleeps like an angel!

The night after Gabrielle stayed I got the longest stretch of uninterrupted sleep I've had in 12 months. It's day 5 now and we can say without hesitation that this has worked beyond our expectations. Gabrielle is knowledgeable, sensible, realistic and directive. She knows what she's talking about. Thank you Gabrielle!

We had Gabrielle come to our house over two years ago to help us with our then 5 month old, who was waking 6-8 times per night. I will preface she was recommended to us from a friend of a friend (so her methods must work for some people as you can see in other reviews).With the benefit of hindsight and a clear head, we feel we were grossly taken advantage of... what we were advised prior to payment v what assistance we received was vastly different.We (me especially) were incredibly sleep deprived and desperate for help. I wish we had completed more research on sleep training and also gone first of all to our GP for advise. We have since learnt there are so many other helpful and sometimes free of charge options - with private health cover to consider.Our experience was negative enough that still even now, we hope for all parents who are on the fence about controlled crying and very strict rules for your babies sleep routine, then Gabrielle's methods may not be for you. There are so many kind, medically trained professionals, that use much gentler methods out there.

Our 10 month old had gotten into a habit of being fed and rocked to sleep, sleeping in our bed and relying on a dummy and white noise. His waking was getting worse and we persevered for a few months in the hopes he would settle down. We finally reached out to Gabrielle and had her stay one night to help us get our son into a routine and sleeping properly again. It was tough but all the hard work as paid off! Since Gabrielle's visit he has been sleeping full nights without any dummy, feeding, rocking or white noise! We are feeling so much happier as a family and I bet he is feeling much more refreshed after being able to have a solid nights' rest. Gabrielle is so knowledgeable when it comes to sleeping and routines and has been so reassuring along the way. Her ongoing support is something we haven't seen other sleep consultants provide which makes the process much easier knowing if there are any bumps along the way that she will always be there to give advice and reassurance. Thank you so much Gabrielle!!!!

Absolutely appalling. Please do not use Gabrielle. She completely traumatised my two year old nephew & his parents with her domineering & aggressive behaviour & had to be made to leave the property within a couple of hours. Despite the claims on her website, she only has one method, controlled/extinction crying, which has has been recognised for many years now as contrary to the developmental needs of infants & toddlers (see Australian Association for Infant Mental Health). She arrived late; asked no questions about the usual routine, issues or strategies tried to date; within minutes of being there, & without properly consulting or preparing the parents or child, she snatched my nephew’s dummy out of his mouth; used ‘screen time’ to try & pacify him; had him put into his cot (by then hysterical); she shouted at him in his cot while putting her hand in front of his face; and suggested my teacher brother in law should use the same techniques used with high school students. There were no problems getting my nephew to sleep in the first place, just problems waking through the night. Gabrielle’s despicable behaviour has now associated aggression & distress with going down at night. She took $900 & is refusing to refund it. Another sleep consultant has offered to assist; she was shocked & appalled by what Gabrielle did & agreed her techniques were highly inappropriate.

Can’t recommend Gabrielle enough. Although my son was an ok sleeper. I was worried we had created an unstainable sleep habits, by rocking and sleeping in our arms. He was 3.5mths would take us 30 mins to get him to sleep, then he would only sleep for 40 mins. I use to get anxiety about putting him to sleep.Now he goes to down awake in his cot and it asleep within 1 a minute. Now we that we understand his sleeping needs and patterns everything is so much easier. I don’t have any anxiety anymore and my son is so much happier, he goes go bed smiling and wakes up smiling.Honestly was the best decision to get Gabrielle to come out. Has made the experience as first time mother so much more easier

We had Gabrielle come in to sort out the sleep problems with both our sons, 2 1/2 years and 8 months old.Our 2 1/2 year old was not staying in his bed, was extremely hard to settle of a night, took about 2 hours to go to sleep and would then come in to our room on multiple occasions during the night. He wouldn't settle back in his bed unless one of us slept on a mattress on the floor in his room.Our 8 month old was still waking for a feed over night, which i was certain was just a comfort thing rather than a necessity.Gabrielle was brilliant!!! She sorted both boys out and provided strategies for us to implement to get them back on track.Within 1 week we had the 8 month old sleeping through from 7pm-7.30am and our 2 1/2 year old was down to just 1 visit at 5.30am (a record) and he was going back to sleep on his own when we took him back to bed and implemented her strategies.We have both been able to catch up on some sleep and are feeling much more refreshed of a morning.With a consistent approach and perseverance we are now seeing that having Gabrielle in was well and truly worth the money.I highly recommend her and we are so glad to be getting some sound sleep again.

My GP put me in touch with Gabrielle when my little girl, Olive, was six months old. She was waking every hour and we were doing it really tough. Gabrielle's methods are so simple and straightforward - and they work. On the second night, Olive slept through the night for 11 straight hours. We were in awe but Olive kept sleeping through the night. She is now 18 months old. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Gabrielle, who is so warm and supportive, to anyone with a baby or toddler who isn't sleeping well.
