“Almost 30 years of expertise providing proven results for high performance families.
I don’t just offer advice; I provide the certainty of an elite specialist-led 4-night transformation.”
“To regain that performance level, sleep isn’t a luxury — it’s the foundation of your existence.
I’m not here to offer advice; I’m here to begin restoring that foundation in four nights.”
“We booked Raquel for a 5-night stay when sleep deprivation had completely taken over our lives.
Our 8-month-old had been waking constantly through the night, and we genuinely thought we just had a baby who didn’t sleep.
By the end of the stay, he was sleeping through the night — and months later, he still is.
Booking Raquel was one of the best investments we’ve made for our family.”
Raquel works with families across Melbourne, Mornington Peninsula, Geelong and interstate as a FIFO overnight baby sleep consultant.
“You aren’t paying for ‘sleep advice’ —
you are paying for me to walk into your home and take the burden off your shoulders for 4 nights so you can wake up as yourself again.”
“Yes — you can hire a sleep specialist to come into your home overnight and take the lead on your baby’s sleep.
That’s exactly what I do.”
Yes — you can hire a baby sleep consultant to come into your home in Melbourne and support your baby’s sleep overnight.
Most baby sleep consultants provide guidance and plans for parents to follow.
Raquel works differently.
She comes into your home and carries out the process overnight, working directly with your baby so you are not left trying to implement it yourself.
Raquel Tara is a premium in-home overnight baby sleep consultant servicing Melbourne & surrounds. She works directly with your baby overnight, implementing sleep training for you — while you sleep — so you’re not left trying to manage it on your own. This is a fully hands-on service for families who want sleep sorted properly, in their own home.
The cost of hiring an overnight baby sleep consultant varies depending on the level of support, but for in-home, overnight care, it is typically considered a premium service.
Raquel Tara’s in-home overnight support is structured around multi-night stays, with newborn overnight support starting from $3,333 for a 3-night stay with morning guidance.
Her comprehensive overnight sleep coaching programs start from $5,333 for a 4-night stay, including overnight support, daytime nap guidance, and follow-up to ensure the results hold.
Longer-term newborn coaching and support programs are also available for families wanting a structured approach from the beginning.
“A total, 4–5 night, ‘Done-For-You’ sleep restoration.
I handle the nights; you reclaim your life.”
“For many families, the value is not simply ‘more sleep.’
It is finally functioning again.
It is relief.
It is clarity.
It is emotional recovery.
It is having an experienced professional physically present during one of the most overwhelming stages of early parenting.”
Raquel Tara is a highly experienced newborn care specialist & overnight baby sleep coach with
25+ years experience working with parents and their babies.
Raquel has helped elite athletes, celebrities, doctors, teachers and coaches both in Australia and abroad, and she can help you too!
Night 1
Once your bedtime rituals are complete, Raquel takes over settling.
She stays with your baby until they relax and fall asleep in the cot, learning what helps them settle enough to let sleep come.
Parents observe on the monitor, then rest overnight.
Night 2
With primary sleep associations removed, many babies begin to realise that sleep can happen without feeding, sucking, being held, or movement.
Settling is usually quicker, though temperament matters.
Night 3
Parents begin settling with Raquel’s real-time guidance.
Most babies settle within 30 minutes by this point, often sooner — but again, temperament matters.
Night 4
Sleep patterns usually begin consolidating more reliably overnight.
The focus shifts toward consistency, confidence, and refining any remaining settling or resettling challenges.
Two days of nap coaching are also integrated across the stay so daytime sleep supports overnight progress.
Night 5 (Full Integration Stay)
Five nights is recommended for older babies, babies with more established sleep associations or stronger protest patterns, and for families who are deeply exhausted and need a more complete reset themselves — what many parents describe as a “sleep holiday.”
Additional Daytime Support Included in the 5-Night Stay
The 5-night package also includes a third day of nap coaching and daytime support, allowing more time to refine daytime rhythms, troubleshoot nap challenges, and strengthen the overall carryover between day sleep and overnight sleep.
Please note: Due to the stronger protest patterns and more established sleep associations often seen in older babies, Raquel may not agree to taking on bookings for babies 9 months or older unless the family is booking the full 5-night stay.
Most sleep consultants provide advice and leave you to carry it out.
Raquel works overnight in your home and implements the process directly with your baby.
That means:
This is why results hold once the stay is complete.
The aim is always to keep crying to a minimum, while still allowing your baby to move through the natural process of falling asleep.
This is not about leaving a baby to cry alone. Raquel works with your baby overnight, supporting them in real time so they are not left to manage it on their own.
This approach is grounded in a respectful, RIE-informed lens of caregiving, where your baby is supported through the process rather than left to work through it alone.
Some babies — particularly older or more vocal babies — will still express themselves strongly as they adjust, but they are supported through this, not left to cry it out.
