What is holistic sleep support?

Holistic sleep support means looking beyond just getting your child to “sleep through the night” and instead focusing on the bigger picture of why sleep challenges are happening.

We consider:

  • Your child's biological needs – sleep cycles, development, and individual temperament.

  • Emotional well-being – attachment, separation anxiety, and the need for security at bedtime.

  • The sleep environment – light, noise, temperature, and overall comfort

  • Daytime factors – movement, fresh air, nutrition, and sensory input that impact sleep.

  • Your family’s unique parenting values – because sleep solutions should feel right for you.

Rather than following rigid sleep-training methods, we focus on sustainable, evidence-based strategies that respect your child’s development and emotional needs. Every child is different, and our approach is always tailored to suit your family.
