My Story

Hi, I’m Gemma, the founder of The Mindful Sleep Coach. I live in South West London with my husband, two gorgeous boys and my black labrador Ziggy.

The Mindful Sleep Coach was born out of a desire to educate and support families to feel empowered to make positive sleep changes for their little ones. Each family is individual and has different needs which is why I will listen and create a clear bespoke plan depending on how you parent, the personality of your child and what you hope to achieve.

The nap anxiety I felt around my eldest’s sleep was all encompassing, especially as he was born just before lockdown. Sleep and Mental Health come hand in hand and I know how overwhelming sleep can be for families.

I’m passionate about making you feel comfortable and confident to improve your little ones’ sleep.

​I have had the pleasure of working with lots of lovely families, you can see some of their feedback here.

​I also enjoy collaborating with other professionals in the pregnancy and parenting field. I’m delighted to be on the expert panel of the wonderful Four Mamas retreats and have also recorded a brilliant podcast on toddler sleep.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Gemma

I highly recommend Gemma’s advice and services for anyone looking for positive changes to the sleep pattern of their little ones! With Gemma’s easy to follow and thoughtfully presented plan, we have managed to get Teddy to nap more consistently through the day resulting in a much longer night sleep! We also get to enjoy his wake windows a lot more now we understand how he sleeps! Thank you Gemma, you are a superstar!

Gemma helped us with our little boy’s sleep. She was thorough in her approach and made a series of recommendations tailored to our needs, which thankfully worked wonders! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Charlotte & Baby, 8 months

Gemma has given me advice and guidance a couple of times, and both times it been amazing and absolutely spot on. When my little one was going through a horrible illness (at about the 18 months) which massively disrupted her sleep, Gemma was able to rule out so many things and then gave us the confidence to persist with sleep coaching to get her back into a routine. It worked a treat. More recently (now 2 years old) my daughter had started to fall into a habit of waking earlier and earlier in the mornings when she never used to, and with Gemma’s advice we were able to implement a new routine very quickly which immediately stopped the early waking and she’s gone back to sleeping until we wake her up! Amazing!

Thank you Gemma for your support in getting my son to sleep through 11 hours straight in a very short time! It has made a huge difference to me having more sleep and feeling confident I know how to respond to any night wakes. This is my second baby but he was a totally different sleeper to my first – I really recommend The Mindful Sleep Coach to anyone who’s ready to get control back and help everyone in the family feel better. Book it!

I contacted Gemma as we were in a bit of a rut and I didn’t know what to do to improve my son’s sleep routine as he was getting up multiple times in the night and not napping for long enough in the day. After contacting Gemma she asked me some simple questions and quickly drew up a routine with helpful tips and tricks on what our day/evening should look like and to put into action before we had a video consultation. In the video consultation we went through in more detail how we were getting on and even more help and guidance with useful sleep practices for settling my son. I couldn’t believe by following these simple steps how much his days naps and evening sleep improved. My partner and I finally got our evening back and we managed to get our 6 month old to only wake once in the night, which was the objective. She is very calm, kind and knowledgeable and I really enjoyed our sessions. I would highly recommend her services.

Morgan & Arya, 6 months

Gemma has offered fantastic support to help me with my 4 month old babies sleeping challenges. Gemma had great knowledge on a number of different areas I was finding difficult (around both naps and night sleeping) and provided really useful advice on different ways I could approach things, making sure I was comfortable with the different suggestions. We noticed improvements from following her suggestions straight away and both myself and my little one are finding ‘sleep’ a lot more achievable. Alongside the great advice Gemma was also so lovely to deal with, thank you so much. 10 times a night to waking just twice. We honestly cannot believe it. After just a few nights of implementing Gemma’s sleep plan Otto learnt the skill of self – settling and as a result now goes to sleep happily and independently at bedtime. No more rocking, squatting and screaming which means we finally have our evenings back. We now go to sleep at night without the dreaded anxiety of what is to come. Two weeks of working with Gemma has quite literally changed our lives. Gemma is so warm and easy to chat to making the process a whole lot easier. We honestly cannot recommend her services enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Gemma has been truly amazing! With her invaluable help and support our 4 month old baby Otto has gone from waking sometimes up to 10 times a night to waking just twice. We honestly cannot believe it.

We reached out to Gemma a few weeks ago as we were really struggling with our little boy’s sleep. He wasn’t napping, was waking regularly throughout the night and we saw 5AM starts (if not earlier) every day.

We had a call with Gemma who was friendly, approachable, non-judgemental and listened to everything we said, in detail. We received Gemma’s plan and got started right away. We were blown away as to how quickly it worked and how much our sleep has improved since. We have no wake ups & if he does wake, we go back to the method & he falls asleep again. We’ve now seen 6.30-7.30 wakes constantly. A vast improvement for us all.

Naps have increased from 40 minutes to 2 hours and he is sleeping beautifully. He is such a happy boy and we are such a relieved family, now able to enjoy bedtime routines properly without feeling anxious or worried about how the night is going to go.

I cannot thank Gemma enough for providing our family with peace and restored nervous systems after navigating a tricky few months. You have honestly, changed our lives.

I would highly recommend Gemma to anyone looking for support with their child’s sleep. THANK YOU GEMMA!
