Megan has been a game changer for our family. With two kids under 3 it has been hard to have any time to ourselves, however Megan provides us with a much needed night off every now and again and I trust her entirely with looking after our children - she’s a sleep wizard!! We’re very thankful to have found Megan, and I would highly recommend her as someone that the children adore and will be cared for so well.

Megan has been a life saver for us!

We contacted Megan for help with our son’s sleep when it started to impact on his behaviour the next day. After being such a good sleeper as a baby, when moved into his big bed he became obsessed with popping out of bed and downstairs a thousand times every night! We had tried lots of things to fix his sleep ourselves but after talking it through with Megan we were able to set up a new routine which allowed for 1:1 time for Ralph in the evenings and a cosy bedtime routine.

Megan’s advice made a difference from night 1 and having Megan on hand for a chat throughout the sleep plan journey made it even simpler to know what to do if something we hadn’t discussed cropped up!

Ralph responded really well to the strategies that we were using but we had also discussed other strategies that we could add in if and when we needed to in the future, this gives us the option to change things if we need to.

Since our sleep plan finished Ralph remained a good sleeper and we got our evenings back!

Over the Christmas holidays we slipped into some bad habits, had a mix of different routines and overnight stays at family homes and lazy mornings; this impacted on Ralph’s sleep routines when we tried to get back to normal. However, we have picked up the reward chart system again and it is working well. I know Megan is always on hand too, we can always call for a chat or Megan has offered to send Ralph another motivational video if needed.

Thank you so much Megan! 😀

Megan has been excellent during our sleep training. Sharing her knowledge and helping us move from feeding to sleep to Harry self settling in his cot. I was anxious about how Harry would respond but he amazed us and adjusted really well.
Megan provided constant support and reassurance which is what’s needed to ensure you stay consistent.
Harry now naps in his cot if we are at home and getting more good quality sleep.
I now don’t have to always be present for Harry to go to sleep which has helped give me some freedom.
Megan also got our oldest son involved as a sleep helper which went down very well. This was an excellent idea as Harry was often woken up by George. George took his role very seriously and would talk about Megan the sleep doctor.
All we can say is a great big thank you to Megan as she really has made a difference to our family!!! We are sad our journey has come to an end as we feel Megan is part of the family.

Working with Megan was well worth the investment. Our little one now sleeps in her own cot each night, and does two reliable naps every day in her cot too, which we had never managed before. Megan took time to understand our family and created a lovely bedtime routine and sleep schedule that worked around our commitments, alongside giving great tips like having a sleep suit. Her friendly, understanding and encouraging manner helped us to go through the programme, which turned out much less daunting than I had feared, and she even checked in with us a few times after our programme had already ended. Not every nap goes well and the little one does not sleep through the night but each waking is short and manageable and Megan gave us the confidence to deal with each scenario and change calmly. Highly recommend.

I would 100% recommend using Megan for help with your little one’s sleep! When I first spoke with Megan my daughter was 16 months old, waking during the night every night and getting her to sleep would take ages and would need me to either feed her to sleep or rub her back, which could be stressful with a 3 year old who also needed me. We tried sleep training on our own before and it was awful and we couldn’t do it but the plan Megan gave us was much gentler and it worked! My daughter took to it really well, I think she was a bit more ready this time and I felt more confident to give it a go because I knew I had Megan to help and a clear, consistent plan to follow. Nap and bedtimes are now much easier and calmer and we’re all getting sleep! Thank you!

Working with Megan has been transformational.

Jacob struggled with his daytime naps and despite my best efforts at creating a consistent routine would only go to sleep being fed to sleep. Within days he was sleeping through the night and his daytime naps were much more consistent. Megan’s attention to detail and passion to help us really made the difference in our success. I’d tried different sleep training methods but hadn’t had much success. Megan gave me the confidence and tools to allow Jacob to learn to self settle and create a simple consistent routine that could be implemented both at home and at nursery. Jacob faced every issue possible while we worked with Megan, from illness to teething to travel. And despite all of these he managed to successfully improve his sleep quality and consistency. Megan was continually on hand for all of my questions and worries and no ask was too big or too small. My partner was skeptical prior to starting and was worried about disturbing his fairly good nighttime sleep by making changes but by the end of his first conversation with Megan he was on board and lecturing me about consistency. If you want to improve your family’s sleep book in with Megan asap!

Megan is brilliant with my children. I really struggle to get them to go to bed but she has them tucked up soundly when I get home. Such a treat! She has also been phenomenal with both of them when they were much younger. She is really safe and very creative with games/play. Highly recommend.

We have used Megan for over night services for our young baby, and also a babysitting session. It requires a lot of trust to let someone in to your home and to leave them alone with your young baby- we found Megan an absolute pleasure to deal with. She is prompt and professional and has a lovely nature with little ones. Megan feels a safe pair of hands and we look forward to working with Megan again.
