Sleep stories

What changed for these families

Hannah knows her stuff!! She's helped us with our 4 year olds early mornings and nap times. She's gentle and very professional, she's also helped me a lot myself through different recommendations and support and guidance. Would definitely recommend Hannah if you have any sleep or nutrition issues with your children ✨
- Rachel
I honestly can't recommend Hannah highly enough! No matter how many questions I've had (and there have been a lot) she has always made the time to respond thoughtfully. She doesn't just give advice, she really cares. She takes the time to suggest different options and help find what actually works for my kids. Whether it's navigating their immune systems or navigating sleep struggles, she's been such a steady, reassuring presence. It's rare to find someone who is not only knowledgeable, but also so genuinely invested in helping others.
- Nadia
Hannah was so easy to deal with from the very first conversation. Warm, friendly, and genuinely knowledgeable. She really takes the time to understand your situation rather than just giving generic advice. Professional, approachable, and actually gets results. I can't recommend her enough!

Neurodivergent sleep

Sleep Support for Special Needs (Neurodivergent) Children.

Sleep challenges can be more complex for neurodivergent children and children with additional needs. As a Certified Sleep Consultant for Special Needs (Neurodivergent) Children, I provide personalised, evidence-based support tailored to your child's unique strengths, sensory profile, developmental stage, and individual needs.

In addition to supporting babies and toddlers, I also work with children within the special needs (neurodivergent) population, typically up to 9 years of age depending on their circumstances and sleep challenges.

The process

How it Works

01

We figure out what's actually going on

You'll complete an intake form so I can understand:

  • Your baby or toddler's sleep patterns.
  • Routines + environment.
  • Solids / Nutrition intake (this is where my nutrition background comes in handy).
  • Temperament.
  • What you've already tried and for how long.
  • What's working (and what's not).
  • Your goals and boundaries.

You'll also track sleep using the Mellow Time app, so we're working off real data, not guesswork.

02

You get a personalised sleep plan

No templates. No guessing. Your personalised baby or toddler sleep plan will cover:

  • Bedtime strategy.
  • Nap structure.
  • Night wakings.
  • Early mornings.
  • How much sleep your child actually needs.
  • If we need to consider increasing your baby or toddlers daily caloric intake or tweaking nutrition sources.
  • What to do when things go off track.

Simple. Clear. Built for your family.

03

We walk through it together

We'll jump on a 45 to 60 minute phone or video consult where I break down your baby or toddler's sleep:

  • What's currently not working and why.
  • How we're fixing it.
  • What to expect in the first few nights.
  • How to handle protests.
  • What to do when things don't go perfectly.

You'll leave knowing exactly what you're doing.

04

Ongoing support

You'll get:

  • Regular check-ins.
  • Real-time adjustments.
  • Ongoing sleep support.
  • Support when things feel hard.

And I'll be reviewing your logs in the Mellow Time app as you go.

In their words

Rested. Regulated. Nourished.

I myself have been in the health and wellness space for a decade and I really value Hannah and her expertise. She is the real deal! She walks the talk with both herself and her family and is so knowledgeable with many aspects of nutrition and sleep counselling, I highly recommend her! Not only that she has science and studies to back it up. She would be a great asset and coach to any families struggling with their kids sleep patterns or for any nutritional family counselling. Best of all she is just a great human, compassionate, kind, understanding and funny! I recommend her now to all my friends and I am even recommending her as a keynote speaker on the topics for the Mind Body Spirit Festival (Australia's largest wellbeing festival!).
- Desiree
Loved working with Hannah for a much needed reset for my nutrition during postpartum after having my first baby. With some great advice and education, I was able to find inspiration again in the kitchen and prepare meals for my son and the whole family using good quality ingredients and gain the knowledge to take into the future to make better choices surrounding my nutrition.

Questions

FAQ

Can't see your question? Get in touch.

What ages do you work with?

At Halo Nutrition + Sleep, I support families with babies and children from 12 weeks through to 5 years of age.

This includes support with:

  • Frequent night wakings
  • Short naps
  • Early rising
  • Dummy/pacifier removal
  • Toddler sleep challenges
  • Transitioning to independent sleep
  • Age-appropriate routines and schedules

Every child is different, so recommendations are tailored to your child's age, temperament, development and your parenting preferences and comfortability.

Do you use "Cry It Out" (CIO)?

No, I do not support the Extinction method.

I use responsive, evidence-based sleep support tailored to your child's temperament, age and your family's comfort levels.

My approach focuses on supporting healthy sleep habits in a way that feels realistic, supportive and sustainable for both you and your child. Depending on your goals and the approach chosen, some children may experience short periods of frustration or protest while learning a new skill or adjusting to change, however families are supported throughout the process.

My approach focuses on:

  • Responsiveness
  • Consistency
  • Age-appropriate expectations
  • Gentle guidance
  • Supporting attachment and connection
Do you support co-sleeping, bed-sharing or room sharing?

I provide judgement-free support for families who are currently co-sleeping, bed-sharing or room sharing.

For safety reasons, all sleep support and recommendations provided by Halo Nutrition + Sleep are based on current evidence-based safe sleep guidelines. Sleep support is provided when a child is sleeping in (or transitioning toward) their own independent sleep space appropriate for their age and developmental stage (such as a cot, bassinet or safe sleep-approved bed).

Room sharing is absolutely supported, provided your child has their own safe and independent sleep space within the room.

If your goal is to transition away from co-sleeping or bed-sharing, I can help guide you through that process in a gradual, realistic and supportive way.

What sleep methods do you use?

Personally, I don't believe there is one "right" way to support sleep.

Every family is different, which is why I tailor support to your child, your parenting style and what feels realistic for your family. Together, we focus on creating healthy sleep foundations through routines, environment, age-appropriate schedules and responsive support.

My goal is to help your child sleep better in a way that feels supportive, sustainable and achievable for everyone involved.

How quickly will I see results?

Some families notice improvements within a few days, while others take a couple of weeks to see more consistent progress.

This depends on several factors including:

  • Your child's age
  • Temperament
  • Sleep history
  • Consistency
  • Developmental stage
  • The goals you're working towards

Sleep development can vary from child to child, particularly during the baby and toddler years. My goal is to help you build foundations and create sustainable changes that actually last.

How can sleep support help?

Sleep plays an important role in your child's development, mood, learning, behaviour and overall well-being, and your sleep matters too.

When families are constantly exhausted, it can affect everything from stress levels and emotional capacity to routines, nutrition and day-to-day family life. Many parents reach out not because they want "perfect sleep", but because they want more consistency, confidence and support.

For many families, improving sleep can have a positive ripple effect across the entire household.

Will there be crying?

Every child responds differently to change. Some children adapt very quickly, while others may become frustrated as they adjust to new sleep habits or routines.

My approach is responsive, supportive and tailored to your child and your family's comfort levels. Throughout the process, your child will continue to be supported while learning new sleep skills.

With consistency and the right approach, many families notice improvements within a few days.

Do you offer online consultations?

Yes! All my consultations are completed online, which means I can support families Australia-wide and internationally from the comfort of your own home.

Do you help with naps as well as overnight sleep?

Absolutely. Day sleep and night sleep are closely connected.

I can help with:

  • Short naps
  • Nap transitions
  • Contact nap dependence
  • Catnapping
  • Nap schedules
  • Early rising
  • Bedtime struggles
What if my child has a medical condition?

Sleep can sometimes be impacted by underlying medical or developmental factors.

While I can support sleep habits, routines and sleep foundations, I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions. If I believe something may require medical assessment, I will recommend speaking with your GP, paediatrician or relevant healthcare professional.

Do you provide feeding or weaning advice?

I do not provide specialised feeding therapy or detailed weaning support. However, I can provide general evidence-based nutrition guidance to help support adequate daytime intake, healthy routines and overall sleep foundations.

If more complex feeding support is required, I may recommend referral to an appropriate healthcare professional.

What makes your approach different?

Having completed my qualification through the Institute of Paediatric Sleep and Parenting (IPSP®), my approach combines evidence-based sleep support with realistic, practical guidance for busy families.

There are no "perfect parent" expectations. Just sustainable strategies, responsive support and plans tailored to your child and family.

Do you work with twins or multiples?

Yes! I support families with twins and multiples.

Sleep with multiples can bring its own unique challenges, including managing different sleep needs, feeding schedules, overnight wakings and balancing routines across more than one child. Support is tailored to your family's situation, goals and what feels realistic for your household.

Whether your twins or multiples are sharing a room, transitioning into more consistent routines, or working toward improved naps and overnight sleep, strategies are designed to be practical, supportive and sustainable.
