Meet Harriet
UK Baby Sleep Coach & Consultant
Gentle, guilt-free baby sleep support for families across the UK.
My journey into parenthood began with a rocky start. My son arrived 12 weeks early and spent his first months in hospital. When we finally brought him home, he struggled with reflux and would only sleep on me.
I felt torn, grateful he was safe, yet completely exhausted. Like many parents, I turned to books, podcasts, and research, determined to find a way for us all to get the sleep we needed. What I discovered was how much the right routine, a calm sleep environment, and gentle support can transform life without ever leaving a baby to cry it out.
When I returned to my corporate role, coaching leaders and shaping the employee experience, I saw just how much lack of sleep impacts well-being, performance, and decision-making. That insight pushed me to formalise my knowledge and train as a certified infant sleep consultant.
Since then, I’ve supported hundreds of families through my 1:1 programmes; locally in Edinburgh, nationwide across the UK, and globally in places as far-reaching as Malaysia, India, and Australia helping them feel more confident and informed about their child’s sleep.
My expertise has also been recognised by organisations like IKEA, who invite me to present at parent and baby events; by corporate groups such as Capco seeking workshops for working parents; by Miracle Moon, where I serve as their NICU sleep expert; and as a regular contributor for MADE magazine, where I write on family sleep topics.
Because when families sleep better, everything else becomes possible.
My Story
My Approach
Every baby, and every parent, is unique. Sleep isn’t about quick fixes or rigid rules, it’s about finding what works for your family. That’s why my sleep coaching is built on three core principles:
1. Gentle
Babies don’t need to be “trained” they need to feel safe. I’ll help you make small, practical changes that honour your instincts and your child’s needs.
2. Personalised
Your baby is one of a kind, and so are you. Together we’ll build a plan that fits around your values, your lifestyle, and even the quirks of your daily routine.
3. Supportive
Sleep coaching isn’t just a plan on paper. It’s having someone in your corner. I’ll be right there with daily check-ins, voice notes, and reassurance.
What This Looks Like In Practice
I’m all ears. I’ll listen carefully to your sleep struggles and work with you to understand what’s influencing your child’s sleep and build strategies that fit your family.
No crying-it-out tactics here. No finger-pointing over “mistakes.” You are the expert in your baby, and I bring the sleep expertise; together we’re partners.
Babies grow, routines wobble, and questions always pop up which is why my support is structured around a defined support period, with ongoing guidance and plan adjustments built in. This gives you the time, space, and reassurance to try changes in a way that feels manageable and supportive.
The focus is always on helping you feel informed, supported, and confident not rushing change or forcing sleep to look a certain way.

Supporting Parents Beyond Sleep
Over time, my work has grown to reflect what I see every day that sleep is often the first thing parents come to me for, but it’s rarely the only thing going on.
Alongside my work as The Wee Sleep Coach, I’m also an ICF-qualified coach, supporting parents who are returning to work and navigating the mental load, confidence shifts, and juggle that can come with that transition.
