ABOUT ME

How I can help

Not only is adequate sleep important for our little ones, but the impact of sleep deprivation for parents can be profound. Sleep deprivation can be a huge limiting factor in us as parents being able to engage in our own daily routines, roles or relationships. Therefore, restful routines are not just for the benefit of our babies and I am committed to supporting not just your little one’s rest, but the entire family.

My knowledge and background as an Occupational Therapist, coupled with my training in Baby and Infant Sleep means that working with me provides a truly holistic approach to sleep for the whole family, and a unique perspective and skill set within my sleep consultancy.

I qualified as an Occupational Therapist in 2011 and throughout my career, I have worked alongside individuals to identify where challenges arise in their day to day life; assessing the impact of these challenges, and identifying the best treatment plan to overcome them. Through my sleep consultancy, I am able to continue this work. I will provide a thorough assessment of your little one’s sleep challenges, and develop a comprehensive and bespoke sleep plan to support the goals identified by you as a family. With daily support from me, we can work together to transform your little one’s sleep and achieve restful routines for the whole family.

Hi, I’m Kelsey!

I am a Baby and Infant Sleep Consultant, Occupational Therapist, and founder of Restful Routines Sleep Consultancy.

Since becoming a Mum to my wonderful little boy, I became fascinated by the science of infant sleep and learning how best to support optimum rest for my baby, but also for my partner and I. As a parent myself, I understand the emotions and exhaustion that come with sleep deprivation. I have navigated sleep regressions, survived through sleepless nights and bedtime battles.

Nothing quite prepares you for those sleepless nights as a first time Mum, and I remember feeling so overwhelmed. I was overwhelmed not just by his night wakes, but by trying to navigate naps too. Endless time spent pacing to get him to settle, only for him to wake as I put him down, or short naps that were a fraction of the time I had spent getting him to sleep. There were times I felt completely lost and helpless to change this, but there was light at the end of the tunnel. I understand how life changing it is when these sleep challenges are overcome and you can finally get back a little piece of you - to have evenings back, time with your partner, or to be able to go out of an evening without worrying what bedtime battles are happening at home.
