Nadia's Approach
My approach is integrative, based around a parenting by connection concept and draws on my training with Hand in Hand Parenting, my work as a Relax Kids and Baby Mindful coach, and the continued Degree course in Child and Youth Studies.
I am an Accredited Holistic Sleep Coach, holding a UK degree level qualification in advanced sleep methods and have undergone two certifications. I offer strategies based on connection and attachment, tuning into your child’s needs and natural rhythms. What is super important to me is that I give you practical ways for better sleep after figuring out the cause of poor sleep. When you work with me, we move towards a fun and relaxing bedtime routine, boosting connection, happily sleeping at night and taking restful naps, I coach you how to make these changes and very much work towards your sleep goals not mine. The best way to see how I can help is to simply give me a call! I’m currently offering free 15-minute sleep assessments. We can talk a little bit about your child’s specific situation and I can tell you about my sleep packages and support and how it all works. |
What About Crying?
As a Baby and Toddler Sleep Consultant in Scotland I offer plans that are customised around you and your family values. I will work with you to figure out the reason your child isn't sleeping well, and together we will find the best way to make a change. I do not teach cry-it-out, controlled crying or even no-cry behavioral approaches.
Whether your child cries depends on several factors, personality, current sleep debt and of course how we approach things, my approach to crying is to listen and respond! My sleep packages are not sleep training in the traditional sense, although I do use gentle behavioral methods as part of an integrative package. The families I work with have read 100's of books and need something more than a standard plan, they need a helping hand to coach them back to being confident parents. They need a professional who is qualified in baby sleep and done hours and hours of accredited study, not just a day's training or read some parenting books and pieced it together. I make no empty promises of quick fixes or sleeping though the night, but will work with you to get your child to their place of great with sleep. Often the families I work notice a big improvement in the first week, but it does take several weeks for everything to click into place and the new sleep habits to be solid, it is a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. |

"I knew I had to make some changes but I didn't know what. I'd read countless websites and was very confused over what was best for my son. I was totally lost as my daughter was a great sleeper and my son was very different and I didn't know what i was doing wrong. Having Nadia talk things through and lay out a plan helped me stick to it. I wouldn't have had the confidence to change my routine on my own. Finlay is now sleeping through most nights and if he wakes I feel confident that I know what he needs and what to do to get him back to sleep and for that I am very grateful!"
