Hi, I'm Kirstie
Sleep Consultant | Mum of two | Canberra + Online

Better sleep starts here. But first — let me tell you where this all began.
When my son Archie was 10 months old, our family was barely surviving.
Every single night without fail, he would wake — and stay awake. For hours. We called them split nights, but that makes them sound almost manageable. They weren't. My husband and I would load Archie into the car in the pitch dark and drive around the streets of Canberra, desperate, exhausted, completely out of options. My husband is a carpenter. The physical demands of his job are relentless — and being awake for hours overnight wasn't just hard, it was crushing him. Crushing us both.
We started to resent each other. Not because we wanted to. Not because we didn't love each other deeply. But because we were so completely depleted that there was simply nothing left to give. The sleeplessness had seeped into every corner of our marriage, our home, our lives.
One night, at my absolute lowest, I typed "sleep consultant" into Google.
What happened next changed everything.
Our sleep consultant was wonderful. Archie was a different child. My husband and I found our way back to each other. I have never — not for a single moment — regretted making that call. It didn't just fix Archie's sleep. It saved our family.
And that's the moment I knew exactly what I was supposed to do with my life.
I want every single family with children to feel what we felt the morning after everything finally clicked. I want tired parents to know that it doesn't have to be this hard. I want babies to sleep, parents to rest, and families to thrive — because I know with everything in me that it is absolutely possible.
So here I am.
