WELCOME
Is your 4-8 year old, who used to sleep well, now waking at night, rising too early, or needing you by their side?
Personalised, gentle and responsive sleep support from a qualified sleep consultant, former teacher and Deputy Head.
Does this sound familiar?
You might be struggling with:
-
Multiple night wakings that leave everyone tired.
-
Early mornings that cut short your family’s rest.
-
Needing you beside them until they fall asleep.
-
Bedtime battles that feel endless.
-
Nighttime anxiety keeping them restless.
-
Returning to bedsharing when you hoped they’d sleep independently.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone and things can get better. Many children aged 4-8 go through sleep setbacks, even if they used to sleep well. The good news is, with the right support, better sleep is within reach.
My Approach
As a former teacher and Deputy Head, I’ve spent years supporting children and families. I understand how sleep, emotions and behaviour are closely connected. Rather than quick fixes, I focus on understanding why your child is struggling with sleep. Together we identify the underlying causes and create a calm, practical plan that works for your child and your family life.
What you can expect:
-
Noticeable improvements in days or weeks; even a few targeted changes can make a real difference to your child’s sleep.
-
A personalised sleep plan designed around your child’s personality, needs and routines.
-
Clarity and understanding - we identify the factors affecting your child’s sleep so you know exactly what’s going on.
-
Ongoing support and reassurance; you won’t be left to figure it out alone.
Who I help
I support families with children aged 4-8 who are experiencing:
-
Bedtime resistance
-
Night waking
-
Anxiety around sleep
-
Early rising

Difficulty falling asleep independently
About Me
Hi, I’m Hilary.
After many years as a teacher and Deputy Head, I saw first-hand how sleep struggles affect children’s learning, emotions and confidence, and how exhausting it can be for parents trying to help alone.
Now, as a qualified sleep consultant, I work directly with families to create calm, supportive, and achievable sleep solutions tailored to each child. I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach; the most effective support considers the whole child and family.
My passion is helping children thrive through better sleep, while empowering parents to feel confident, rested, and supported.
What parents say:
'I cannot recommend The Sleep Nurturer highly enough. My son had been experiencing significant sleep challenges for around a year and Hilary’s programme and support transformed things for our family in a matter of weeks. I only wish I engaged sooner! From meticulous gathering of the wider context to his issues and an in depth online discussion, Hilary produced a truly bespoke programme that was manageable, achievable and had both the needs of the child and the wider family considered. Her utmost confidence that the programme would work in turn gave me confidence and the results have been nothing short of life changing for us! It is clear that Hilary genuinely cares and is keen to support right through to the desired outcomes. A true professional offering a phenomenal service!'
