About The Sleep Sanctuary
Hi, I’m Sarah – the heart behind The Sleep Sanctuary. I’m a Certified Baby & Toddler Sleep Consultant, Newborn Care Specialist, and experienced Night Nanny with over 20 years of hands-on experience supporting babies, young children, and their families.
I’m also a proud mum of three, and it was my own journey through motherhood that ignited my deep passion for supporting others through the wild, beautiful, and often overwhelming early years of parenting. My experiences have shaped the way I support families today — with empathy, practical guidance, and a strong commitment to nurturing both infant and maternal wellbeing.
At The Sleep Sanctuary, our primary services include:
– Sleep Consulting for newborns through to toddlers
– Night Nanny Support to give families hands-on rest and recovery
– Postpartum Support and Care to gently guide and support you through those early weeks and months
We also offer support with settling, routine development, early nutrition, breastfeeding, bottle feeding, and responsive care for unsettled or sensitive babies.
My approach is gentle, holistic, and tailored — always led by your parenting values and your baby’s unique temperament. Whether you’re navigating the newborn haze, toddler sleep regressions, or just craving a full night’s rest, you’re not alone. I’m here to walk alongside you with practical, nurturing support so you and your little one can get the rest you truly deserve.

What is a Doula?
Today, a doula is typically someone who acts as a hub of support, referrals and resources for a person during a major life transition, usually related to birth. Doulas have a holistic approach that considers both mental and physical well-being. Services vary significantly but can include emotional reassurance, information based on scientific evidence, and comfort techniques like massage and nourishing food. The role is not medical, and doulas cannot treat, diagnose or cure any disease.
