Cherished Sleep

Kim is amazing! She saved our sanity, quality of life and happiness.If you are sitting there hoping your baby or kid will sleep better soon, don't delay (it won't do anyone any favours) just call Kim and make it happen. We suffered for far too long having been given advice from both the doctor and plunket that our baby would grow out of it when she was ready (wakes every 45 min, up for hours over night, you name it, we lived it) - worst advice ever & almost killed me!Kim has helped us out on more than one occasion & I wouldn't hesitate to call her again should the wheels fall off. She has a logical and pragmatic approach & will call it for what it is.Our girl now sleeps a solid 12hours at night, loves her naps and is so happy now.I no longer hate life, I eat better, I sleep better, I exercise, my relationships are better and have most of my memory back and I enjoy my daughter. I had none of these things grinding through everyday with no sleep and sanity. There is a reason sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture!

Kim has been so wonderful to work with in giving us the tools to give our children the skills they needed to sleep well. Our girls didn't make it the easiest transition but all the awesome tips and tricks Kim had up her sleeve helped us overcome these. We now have stress free bedtimes and lovely rested children.

I want to say thank you very much! I bought the Infant course and I am absolutely happy with how it went. I did not expect that my son would learn to sleep without my help so quickly and enough easily (he had a feed to sleep association), but before that I had to get up on average five times at night for 5 months!!! Thanks to a properly structured day regime and to a some work, my son sleeps almost all nights without waking up even for a minute! I am glad that by the recommendation I contacted Kim and decided to take this course. Was easy and comfortable to work with her. She is attentive, always nearby, helped and supported. Now I feel completely different, I have no more that terrible stress due to the constant lack of sleep. And I am proud of my son, he absolutely perfectly coped with the task of learning how to fall asleep on his own in his bed.

My daughter who is 8 years old, had been experiencing intermittent co-sleeping. This on-and-off co-sleeping arrangement contributed to her sleep difficulties. Additionally, she had to deal with significant anxiety problems, particularly at night because of a few changes and losses in the family she had to go through. These anxieties made her extremely unsettled and for her to fall asleep, used to take 2 to 3 hours. I had to be present in her bedroom during this time, she was not letting me go.On a good night, she will wake us up twice, seeking comfort and reassurance. However, on a typical night, she used to wake up anywhere from 5 to 10 times, clearly indicating her fear and discomfort during nighttime hours. It was evident that she was experiencing a high level of fear during these episodes. The mornings started very early as she was already awake from 5:30 amMy daughter can now fall asleep by herself in her bedroom within 30 minutes. It is truly remarkable to witness this positive change. Equally remarkable is the fact that she no longer wakes us up during the night. She has become more independent and self-reliant, allowing us all to enjoy uninterrupted sleep. In the morning, she even wakes up by herself after having 10 hours of sleep and waits patiently for us to join her. This newfound independence has been a tremendous relief for our entire family.I cannot express enough how grateful we are for your valuable guidance and support. Your expertise has helped us establish a consistent bedtime routine, create a sleep-conducive environment, address her anxiety during the day, gradually transition away from co-sleeping, and implement a reward system to reinforce positive sleep behaviours. These collective efforts have made a significant impact on my daughter's sleep patterns and overall well-being.Kim's professional advice and compassionate approach have played a pivotal role in helping my daughter overcome her sleep challenges. We are deeply grateful for your assistance and guidance throughout this journey.Once again, thank you for your invaluable support.Kim not only helps your child also she is there for guidance for you when I had my self-doubts, it was also challenging at times, I won't lie but Kim at all times supported me and guided me through.

What a transformation! We've gone from cosleeping with our 12 month old, with 7 night wakes and needing to be fed back to sleep to having our evenings and bedroom back. I was so hesitant to sleep train as I couldn't bear the thought of S crying too long. Yes we did have some crying but even on the second night she settled herself back to sleep. Now she consistently sleeps 12+ hours in her own room and her day sleeps are better than before. The thing that's really sold me is that she's so much happier! She needed much more sleep than we realised. We are so grateful to have had Kim's kind and wise guidance. Only wish we'd booked her six months earlier!

Fantastic personalized service from an experienced expert in the area. We got our nights back after months of exhaustion. The idea of using a consultant was new to us and worth every cent many many many times over, we have used Cherished Sleep multiple times. Someone who knows what they are talking about like Cherished Sleep is absolutely are worth paying money for instead of trying (and failing) with whatever shows up for free on a google search! Thank you

Kim brings a compassionate energy to her work. Each interaction with her taught me so much and she always helped me feel more confident and capable as a mother. I knew I needed to make changes around my daughters sleep and feeding routines but I was so overwhelmed from PPD/PPA that I couldn't see the forest for the trees. Kim helped me make sense of everything and within days we saw a noticeable improvement in our daughters sleep. Our girl now sleeps 11-12 hours at night and has two wonderful naps each day. We feel like we have regained our freedom and the evening hours are now much more relaxing!

Kim has been fantastic! Couldnt reccomend Cherished Sleep more! We have a 13 month old, feed to sleep and terriable at self settling since 4 months old. At 1 year we decided to try it out, after 1 night we noticed improvements, after 2 nights we had a changed boy. Its now 2 weeks and oh my goodness, we have ourselves a little angel sleeper! Kim thank you, highly reccomend the investment. Even if you have a 'pretty good sleeper' you will soon have a master sleeper!

Kim is professional, qualified and dedicated to her job as a sleep consultant. She tailored an approach that worked successfully for our 3 and 5 year olds, which are difficult ages to change habits! Kim was worth the investment and I would highly recommend her to others. I loved the Google shared spreadsheet sleep log that we used to communicate with Kim and I felt at ease knowing she was keeping tabs on how things were going. Thank you Kim, I really appreciate you!

We used Kim after realising we just couldn’t keep rocking our toddler to sleep and the difference was there within four days. Grandparents were sceptical but after a few days their minds were blown. We got our evenings back and our Son is much happier and settles himself nicely. Wish we’d have done it sooner. Kim’s support and explanations in detail all made it a very smooth experience. No harsh cry it out and she took into consideration all our concerns and requests.
