Baby & Toddler Sleep Support
Gentle, holistic sleep consultancy across
Northamptonshire & Buckinghamshire
If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed and running out of ideas at bedtime, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I’m Vicki, a mum of 3, holistic sleep practitioner, birth & baby educator and practising doula with over 12 years of experience supporting families across Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire.
I offer baby and toddler sleep support that is gentle, evidence-based, realistic and most importantly, built around the needs of your child and your family. Having 3 children myself, I know that no two babies are the same, and that no two families have the same needs, so all my sleep plans are unique and tailored to your family.
My approach to sleep
Sleep is one of the most emotive topics in early parenthood, and there is a huge amount of conflicting advice out there. My approach is holistic, which means I look at the whole picture - your child’s temperament, age, feeding, environment, developmental stage and your own sleep goals, which shape the plan I create for you.
I don’t use cry it out methods. Everything I recommend is gentle, age-appropriate and designed to be sustainable, so that when our work together is done, you have the tools and confidence to manage sleep independently, without needing to keep coming back.
Who I can help
I support families with babies and toddlers from 6 months upwards, as well as expectant parents and those with newborns under 6 months who want to understand infant sleep before challenges arise. Whether you’re dealing with frequent night waking, short naps, early rising, bedtime battles or just feeling uncertain about whether what’s happening is normal - I can help.
‘We found the call so helpful and while I know he’s far too young for any ‘sleep training’ or such it was reassuring that we’ve not completely messed things up so far and there’s things for us to keep trying and working with so thank you again' - Emma
'The session was so useful and really helped us to feel more confident....Last night went very well. I put him to bed at 7 pm, he was asleep within 10 minutes and we didn’t have any false starts! I was absolutely amazed!' - Sarah
Sleep support packages
In-Person Sleep Package £300
My most comprehensive option, ideal for families who want hands-on support.
This includes a 60-90 minute home visit (within 20 miles of NN4), where I spend time understanding your sleep concerns, learning about your child & your family goals, as well as viewing your child’s sleep space, so I can build a sleep plan designed specifically for your family.

the end of each week to check progress and adjust as needed. Suitable from 6 months.

you want to get started quickly or are based further afield.

A one-hour private online workshop for expectant parents or those with babies

importance of good sleep hygiene, creating a gentle sleep routine as your baby
grows, feeding and safe sleep guidance. Everything you need to know so you feel
prepared before sleep challenges arise.
Why choose a doula-led sleep consultant?
Many sleep consultants come purely from a sleep training background. As a practising doula and antenatal teacher, I bring a broader understanding of infant development, feeding, and the emotional reality of new parenthood to every consultation. I’m not just looking at sleep in isolation, I understand the full picture of what life with a new baby looks and feels like, and that shapes every recommendation I make.
Areas covered
In-person sleep consultations cover Northampton, Towcester, Daventry, Brackley, Milton Keynes, Buckingham and surrounding areas within 20 miles of NN4. Virtual packages are available nationwide.
