I am trying to find the words to describe the extent of gratitude and utmost respect we have for what Raquel has given our family. Her expertise, patience and nurturing approach surpassed every expectation I had of her. We had tried everything. Or so we thought. I told Raquel I didn’t like our chances of success, and she reassured me that if we were willing to trust her and the process, she was certain she could help us turn things around. So we did. And our family feels brand new. Thank you, Raquel. You have a very special gift and we are so lucky that you share it.

ABOUT RAQUEL TARA – BABY SLEEP CONSULTANT & MOTHERCRAFT NIGHT NANNY

Responsive & Respectful Baby Sleep Support

I created my 1:1 baby sleep support programs after 20 years of working closely with new parents & their babies.

In home Overnight Sleep Support available throughout the Northern Regions of NSW including New England, Mid North Coast & Far North Coast, as well as the Southern Beaches of The Gold Coast.

I’ve helped doctors, teachers, celebrities and coaches both-in Australia and abroad.

With my online programs, I can be your baby sleep consultant in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Perth, Byron Bay & anywhere in between. All of my baby sleep programs offer unlimited support for 14 days.

My 20+ years of experience in the baby sleep space

I began working with babies in London as a mothercraft nanny night nurse. I fully developed my skills as a baby sleep consultant in Sydney & Melbourne where I provided overnight baby sleep support home visits exclusively. I launched my baby sleep services into the online space when I was became based in Bali in 2016.

Today I’m not only a baby sleep consultant, I’m also a passionate parent and infant advocate. I support parents across Australia with my intensive 1:1 support baby sleep support programs. I love the feeling of helping parents not only get the sleep they deserve – but also understand how they got there. And how to maintain healthy sleep hygiene in their lives for themselves & their child permanently.

I’m more than a baby sleep consultant — I support parents in their transition into parenthood with my newborn baby sleep programs where parent’s can typically enjoy their baby sleeping through the night at the end of the newborn stage.

The mental health benefits of getting the sleep a young family needs cannot be overstated. The personal growth that parents are able to achieve through early parenting is a major interest area. My experience has taught me that the inherent wisdom we all have to evolve as humans is what drives a loving adult into wanting to become a caregiver. With the first 3 years of an infants life imprinting crucial feedback that influences the trajectory of their lives; it’s incredibly beneficial to understand how to model ‘certain leadership’ for infants as early as possible.

In 1999, for all intents and purposes still a kid myself, before baby sleep consultants were a mainstream service, I became a mothercraft maternity nanny in London…

Raquel Tara Baby Sleep Consultant Australia Reviews

Baby Sleep Success Stories. Reviews from parents of babies from all over Australia
Everyone loves a baby sleep success story. And after 20 years of supporting new parents and their babies,  Baby Sleep Consultant Raquel Tara has thousands of them.

Within 1 week, everything was better! My 8 month old was taking fuller feeds, sleeping well for day naps and sleeping long stretches at night. I couldn’t have done it without Raquel’s patience and wisdom. She takes the time to listen, and really tailors the advice and strategies for each baby and circumstance.

Raquel’s guidance & support was incredible. Even though we were messaging, I felt as though we were speaking face-to-face throughout.

Raquel has the amazing ability to keep you going when you want to quit, it’s like she knows exactly what to say at the right time.

She has made us more confident parents & taught us to observe and listen to our daughter, rather than just focussing on trying to stop her crying.
Every time I was hesitant or had extra questions, Raquel would help me to understand & this made me feel that I wasn’t just following advice blindly.

We cannot recommend Raquel Tara highly enough, & would happily pay 3 times what she is currently charging for her services, knowledge & support. The results we have experienced, and the skills we have learnt are more than we could ever have hoped for.

Raquel was an incredible support through our week together. We loved that we were able to ask as many questions and Raquel would always be willing to share her knowledge, wonderful analogies and made us feel in control of any situation that popped up.

Raquel’s program gave us a solid foundation to manage my baby’s sleep, but having her mentorship through the program was invaluable. It was great having someone by my side (figuratively speaking!) to reframe my thinking, help me keep perspective and to guide my decision making when I was suffering self-doubt.

Even after that first night, ongoing there is always those moments of wondering how to handle different situations as they come up. I’ve learnt so much about my baby and myself during my time with Raquel. It has felt like an awesome parenting boot camp and now I am ready and armed to tackle whatever my beautiful boy has install for me.

Raquel was extremely supportive, reassuring and down to earth. There were times during our week program that I was sure Raquel was in the room as she just understood what was going on at my house. She was extremely responsive to messages, I rarely had to wait for any replies. This meant I felt confident with what I was doing with my boy at sleep time.

I was at my wits end and then I came across beautiful Raquel and all I can say is THANK GOD for that!

With Raquel as my mentor she provided me with the knowledge and guidance to help my bub to become self confident SLEEPING baby!

Within a few days bub was actually having day naps and sleeping through the night all in his own sleeping space! Her methods work amazingly and even better Raquel is there every step of the way and any concerns you have Raquel is there to ease your mind!

If I’m completely honest I was dubious that the 1:1 program would work for us. But boy was I proved wrong!

Raquel gives you the confidence and the information you need to develop an independent and resilient sleeper. She makes you feel comfortable with the process and provides support to get you through any hiccups along the way.
My only regret about working with Raquel is not doing it sooner!

Raquel helped me to become more confident as a mother, helped me to further understand the parenting style that I wanted to have for our my baby, and helped me to understand our baby’s emotional development and how to support her to develop and self regulate her emotions. For this I am truly truly grateful.

Raquel is calm, supportive, gentle and never makes you feel like you’re asking a silly question, even when you ask it more than once (‘mum Brain…’). She explains things in a way that make it easy to understand what you need to do and why.

My partner and I are so appreciative of Raquel’s support, not fighting our baby to go to sleep and her new earlier bed time has given us much needed time to spend together also.

Thanks again Raquel, I believe choosing to complete a program with you was the best thing that we have done for our baby since she was born. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend completing a program with Raquel to help with your baby’s sleep, it really is life changing and so beneficial.

Raquel changed our world with twins and a toddler from a sleep deprived mess and dreading bed times, to a totally enjoyable process.

We’ve even been able to go on a holiday and the girls were still able to set settle and we all got sleep and were able to enjoy it. I really loved the consistent WhatsApp support.
If anyone is pondering whether or not to do this, I highly recommend going for it!

We had put off sleep training with our 2 year old for far too long and were referred to Raquel by a friend. We were both very hesitant at first but after a week of amazing support, both via text and phone, we have a new lease on life!

It’s not an easy journey but Raquel is non judgemental and her support is backed by research which is reassuring. Our child now sleeps through every night and drops to sleep by himself with little fuss!

I can’t recommend Raquel enough! We had a very high spirited 9 month old that was waking every two hours through the night and couldn’t self settle.

After two weeks of guidance and support from Raquel she can now self settle and is sleeping 10-11hrs straight at night!
For us the first 7 days was tough but we made a commitment to follow all of Raquels advice and give our baby the best chance to learn this new skills and it definitely payed off. Thanks Raquel.
