Hi, I'm Jem

I am a toddler sleep consultant and author of The Better Sleep Blueprint: A realistic guide to baby sleep for parents who don’t want to sleep train.

I am passionate about supporting families who are still struggling with sleep after 12 months of age. 

We don’t have to put up with terrible sleep just because we are parents. Helping you to understand sleep, and find your unique way to make things better is my goal.

What I believe is the biggest game changer for you is to truly understand how sleep works so that adapting to your child’s ever-changing needs feels instinctive, and you feel confident and empowered in your parenting. 

So if you’re a parent who wants to understand the why not just the how, you’re in the right place.

I just 'get' toddlers, and these parents agree

Meenie & Indy

Jemma was non judgemental and gave us some straightforward, practical and manageable suggestions about adjusting day time sleep patterns. We couldn’t believe what a big difference to his night time routine it made! Would highly recommend!

Renata & Ben

Jemma knew exactly what the problems were only on our first chat! Impressed! It was a brilliant experience working with her, we went from bedtime battles to our son sleeping through the night. We feel well prepared for the future and confident that we can adapt our routine as he gets older.

Victoria & Theo

With Jemma's expert help and advice, we have a toddler who now sleeps 1.5-2 hours at lunch time and 7am-7pm. Before he would wake after 45 minutes and would be difficult to settle. Our days would also start at 4.30/5am. Jemma's kind and friendly non-judgemental attitude made her a pleasure to work with.
