Infant Sleep Coaches

Helping you get a better nights sleep

With over 20 years of combined experience working with children and families, Sleep Consultants Cherry and Elen share a passion for supporting families on their journey to a better nights sleep. They first met teaching in the classroom and their shared love for infant development, coaching and digestive biscuits (I mean who doesn't love them?) meant they were soon firm friends. Becoming mothers and feeling the true depths of sleep deprivation for themselves, it drove them to really understand the science behind sleep so that they could better support their babies’ development as well as rescuing their own sanity by getting some well earned sleep too! Seeing friends and family around them face similar challenges, they decided that they would embark on a new journey- together- to share the knowledge they’d gained and support new parents far and wide.

And so, Rest Assured Sleep Coaching was born.

We now offer at home consultations in and around the Hampshire and Cardiff area as well as providing excellent remote support across the UK and beyond. If you would like to book a free discovery call, just click here. We look forward to hearing from you soon Cherry & Elen x

I’m a qualified Sleep Consultant with a background in education. I am also a mother myself to two gorgeous children who have taught me more about infant sleep than I could ever have learnt from a book!

Like most new mothers with their first baby, I was totally over-joyed and yet utterly overwhelmed. I must’ve googled ‘how to help a baby sleep’ hundreds of times, created schedule after schedule and read every sleep book on the market.

By my 6-week check-in I was a blubbering mess! It was tough. I’ve been there - experienced the true depths of sleep deprivation, faced the utter confusion over which strategy to use, grappled with how to "do it right" and tried to work out what to do when it goes wrong!

This experience inspired me to start looking into techniques and understand the science of sleep. I continued to study and as I learnt more about the subject my passion grew.

Initially my intention was to inform myself to help my own family but I soon realised there were so many others in the same position and this prompted me to set up Rest Assured Sleep Coaching with Elen.

I see supporting families as a huge privilege and genuinely love getting to know them and creating plans that fit their family life.

My passion for all things sleep developed after my son was born. As someone who loves her sleep, I was delighted to have a baby who inherited the same trait.

On the surface this seemed great, but I remember feeling terrified when I first heard about sleep regressions (when a super sleeper of a baby suddenly starts having problems settling through the night).

Having a science background, I decided I needed to arm myself with as much information as possible and learn all about sleep ready to tackle any bumps that lay ahead. Equipped with this new knowledge, I navigated my way to better sleep.

I’m now a qualified coach and having worked with children and parents for over 16 years as a teacher, my main goal is to give the families I work with the support and confidence they need to achieve the sleep they deserve.

Parenting is never a completely smooth ride, but I’m a firm believer that there’s a solution to every problem. As a Mum, I understand it can be a daunting step to get in touch for support, but I’m just a regular parent who is dreaming of sleep and ready to share what I’ve learnt along my journey with others who still have challenges ahead.
