The Nurture Owl
SLEEP SUPPORT
Is your child’s sleep leaving you exhausted and unsure what to try next?
Responsive sleep support for babies & children, including autism, anxiety and sensory needs.
Do Any Of These Sound Familiar?
Are you stuck in a cycle of broken nights, exhausting days and wondering why nothing seems to work?
-Are frequent night wakings leaving the family feeling exhausted?
-Does your child have unique sensory, emotional or developmental needs that make sleep more challenging?
-Are naps, bedtime or overnight sleep feeling unpredictable right now?
-Does your child seem anxious, unsettled and need reassurance around sleep and bedtime?
-Are you feeling unsure about how much sleep your baby needs during the day and night?
If any of these feel familiar, you don’t have to keep trying to figure it out alone.
I support babies and children from 5 months, including neurodivergent children, with responsive, personalised sleep support that looks at WHY sleep may be difficult - not just how to change it.

Hi, I’m Catherine,
A certified infant and child sleep consultant with specialist training in autism, sensory and anxiety-informed sleep support, offering a gentle, connection-based approach to sleep.
With over 25 years experience managing early years settings and supporting families, I bring extensive knowledge of child development, emotional wellbeing and responsive care into every family I support.
I hold a BA Hons in Childhood Studies, qualified in Special Educational Needs and Montessori education, allowing me to create personalised, child-centred sleep support that respects each childs unique needs, temperament and development.
As a mother of two neurodivergent sons, I also bring personal, lived experience to my approach. One of my sons experienced significant sleep and anxiety challenges, which deepened my understanding of how overwhelming and isolating sleep struggles can feel. That journey is what drives my passion to support parents who may feel exhaustion and disrupted sleep have become ‘the norm’.
My Approach
Blends evidence-based sleep guidance and Montessori principles with the understanding formed through my Root to Rest Method of connecting rhythm, environment and trust.
I believe healthy sleep grows from strong foundations and connecting each branch of growth with my understanding of child development, neurodiversity and emotional wellbeing we can create a calmer path to rest that will support the whole family.
Why Families Choose Me?
As a parent myself, I understand the exhaustion and emotions that come with sleepless nights. My advice is shaped by both professional knowledge and real-life experience with my own children.
I work with both neurotypical and neurodivergent children, offering an evidence-based, relationship-led, gradual approach that provides personalised support tailored to each child’s individual needs, development and sensory profile, helping families build strong foundations for restful sleep in a way that feels respectful. realistic and sustainable.
At the heart of my work is the Root to Rest Method - a framework I created to look beyond sleep itself and understand the foundations that may be influencing it.
The four branches guide what we explore, while my SLEEP approach sits at the heart of how I support each family - keeping your child, their unique needs and your family at the centre throughout.
There is no one-size-fits-all route to better sleep. Support is personalised around your child’s emotional, sensory and developmental needs, while nurturing connection, independence and family wellbeing.
