Hi, I'm Hannah

Mum of two very energetic boys, based on the Sunshine Coast and I know firsthand what it feels like to be running on empty.

It started with food

I was a happy kid who loved food. At 12, I started a war with it that lasted years. Becoming a mum is what finally made me learn to use food as fuel, because I wanted my boys to grow up without that fight.

Becoming a mum changed everything.

From the moment I found out I was pregnant, everything I consumed was about nourishing my son. I truly thrived when we introduced solids at six months. The joy it brought me was indescribable (and still does to this day!).

But parenthood is a rollercoaster. When my eldest was around seven months old, I couldn't get him to sleep. The exhaustion was like nothing I'd ever experienced. I remember placing him in his cot more firmly than I ever had before and in that moment, I knew something had to change.

So I got help. I sleep trained him, and later his younger brother too. And through that whole experience, something really clicked.

There's a connection nobody talks about.

Poor sleep and fussy eating are deeply linked. And modern parenting? It can feel incredibly isolating. We don't have the village we're supposed to have.

Parents are exhausted, overwhelmed, and running on empty with very little time or energy left to focus on their own health.

So I asked myself: why not bring both worlds together?

That's how Halo was born. Built on the two most powerful pillars of health:

Nutrition + Sleep.

Qualified. Curious. Always digging deeper.

Today I'm a qualified nutrition counsellor, specialising in women and children. And a qualified paediatric sleep consultant helping families improve baby and toddler sleep. Alongside this, I am also a Certified Sleep Consultant for Special Needs (Neurodivergent) Children.

This additional training allows me to better support families navigating sleep challenges alongside conditions such as autism, ADHD, sensory differences, developmental delays and other additional needs.

Every child is unique, and my approach remains gentle, responsive and tailored to your child's individual needs.

From prenatal and postpartum to early childhood, adolescence, perimenopause and beyond, long-term health and longevity are always at the core of my approach.

I ask questions. I look at the full picture. I'm not just focused on what's happening right now. I'm thinking about your future, and your children's future.

Because nutrition and sleep aren't just daily habits. They're building blocks for life.

When you work with me, here's what you can expect:

01

Honesty & Transparency

You'll always know where you stand. I tell it like it is with kindness, but always with truth.

02

Loyalty & Support

A whole lot of support. You won't be doing this alone.

03

Accountability

Real change doesn't come from knowing what to do. It comes from actually doing it. I'll gently keep you on track every step of the way.

04

Partnership

I'll be right there with you guiding you, supporting you, and cheering your family on the whole way through.

I can't wait to work with you and your family.

Love, H xoxo
