20+ years Experience as a Mothercraft Maternity Nanny and Night Nurse

Overnight Home Visits available throughout Sydney & Regional NSW. Premium 1:1 In-home Overnight Baby Sleep Coaching Programs and Newborn Specialist Care.
We are so grateful that Raquel came into our lives. Our four month old was waking almost hourly at night, reliant on rocking and his dummy to sleep, distracted during feeds and cat-napping during the day. We were both tired and injured from rocking an increasingly bigger baby to sleep, and completely overwhelmed with information. Raquel cut through everything. Over the two weeks we worked with her, she was responsive, reassuring, intuitive and kind. She gave us the gift of sleep, but more importantly, the confidence to trust our instincts and our baby. We're all so much happier (and well-rested) for it.

1:1 Baby Sleep Support Tailored to Incorporate the Unique Needs and Preferences of Every Family

We felt so lucky to have had Raquel's support with our 10 month old's sleep & feeding. She was incredibly supportive, tailored the advice to us and was so adaptable to our circumstances. Raquel made us feel like we were learning how to be more in tune with our bub and not just going through the motions or "check-list" of what to do. We feel like we've really learnt valuable long life skills. Highly recommend!

By hiring me as your baby sleep consultant, you will have a personal baby sleep coach to individualise your baby sleep plan.

Together we will help your baby learn the skill of self settling by learning how to ‘relax enough to let sleep come’), and resettle themselves overnight and at nap time.

The beauty of having your own baby sleep consultant, whether I visit you in Sydney, or you elect to work with me online baby sleep program, you’ll be working 1:1 with me, and by the end of our time together, your baby will have established 8-12 hours of independent sleep in their own sleeping space.

All of my baby sleep support programs are 1:1 with me, a baby sleep consultant veteran & offer truly personalised unlimited support for two weeks. Every day you will be able to reach out and ask questions regarding any aspect of the coaching and as your baby sleep consultant, I will be right there with you with all of the baby sleep answers. 

I have been helping families with baby sleep for over 20 years. I’d love to help you too.
