Responsive, attachment focussed sleep training
What would it be like to feel truly confident about your child’s sleep?
To parent intuitively and know exactly which hands-on techniques your baby responds to. And to finally get the sleep you and your family need to thrive.
I'm Madi, Certified paediatric Sleep Consultant, Nurse, zero-sleep survivor and most notably mum of three.
I struggled for over two and half years with a baby who would. not. sleep. My second child, Max, woke every 40 minutes. Day and night, until he was two and a half. When he was awake, he cried. And when he was briefly asleep, I cried – out of sheer exhaustion.
I saw every specialist under the sun and was repeatedly told Max was thriving and perfectly healthy. We ‘failed’ three sleep schools. Our family fell apart.
Unable to find someone to help I empowered myself with the knowledge, techniques and confidence I couldn’t find anywhere else. Gradually Max’s sleep issues resolved. After years of self-directed learning I decided this passion of mine was what I wanted to do full-time. I went on to study two certifications as well as PD in Neuroprotective Developmental Care masterclasses, across the domains of breastfeeding/feeds, infant cry-fuss and sleep problems, infant sensory-motor needs and parent mood. The more I learnt about sleep, the more I realised I want to be that person I was searching for, for somebody else.
Because I know how it feels to suffer through all the self doubt, overwhelm and flat lining fatigue.
Are you ready to reclaim your nights and savor those dreamy moments?
Say goodbye to sleepless nights and hello to a well-rested, confident, and intuitively connected family.

Your baby is not a cookie-cutter creation, and I don't do one-size-fits-all. I analyse their needs, development, and even the quirky personality traits that make them the pint-sized rockstar they are.

What People Like You are Saying
“Amazing”
“I had the most amazing experience with Madi and would highly recommend anyone contacting her to discuss infant sleep. We were going through a rough patch at 8 months and she could not have been more supportive. With her advice we are back on track and I feel so much more confident.”
— Clem
“Cheering every step of the way”
“When my partner and I engaged Madi, we were defeated by months of bad sleep and running on survival mode. I thought we were beyond help. After two weeks of Madi's support, we barely recognised ourselves! Madi's gentle and responsive support radically improved so many aspects of our 6MO's sleep, and has set us up to be much more confident and calm parents. When you have a "bad sleeper" it's so easy to get lost in the literature and social media content, second-guessing every single thing you do or don't do - but having a professional as kind and knowledgeable as Madi in it with you, cheering you on every step of the way, is invaluable.”
— Terri & Mat
“kind, caring, and personable”
“I came to Madi to get help understanding my babies sleep habits. She was kind, caring, and personable. Madi took the time to understand my little ones schedule, and the finer details and it really made the difference in finding out how we could assist my babe in sleeping more independently.
Madi does not have a one size fits all approach and she works with you to find a solution that you are comfortable with long term. She also makes herself available for follow up questions, which was invaluable when trying to implement new routines and changes.
I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for guidance on sleep..”
