	Our first engagement with Stephanie represented a turning point in my husband and I gaining perspective, and most importantly sleep, following the birth of our first child. We were the first to admit that we weren’t experts at teaching a baby how to sleep and that is exactly what we found in Stephanie. Thank you, we owe you many a good night's sleep!

	Just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you again for all your help and support. Our 7 month old son has slept through the night every night for the last week. Such massive improvements and we feel so much better about everything.

	Under the excellent advice of Stephanie, we taught our triplets to self-settle using a gentle gradual retreat approach. We had previously rocked them to sleep and they were waking regularly during the night. I am not a fan of controlled crying and was happy to take time rather than go for a 'quick fix' approach. Teaching them to self-settle has completely changed our lives, our babies are so much happier and everybody is sleeping well. Thank you, Stephanie, you will forever be the sleep goddess as far as we're concerned!

	Our daughter was about 4 months old when her sleeping habits become intolerable, knowing that we could not continue I contacted Stephanie to ask if she could help us. Within 2 weeks our baby was napping each day in her own cot and by week 3 she was sleeping in her own cot at night, all this from her sleeping prone on me for months. I don't know what we would have done without Stephanie's continued support and encouragement. Her calm nature really helped alleviate my anxieties. Knowing that Stephanie would be on hand for any sleep problems that may arise gave me confidence to go on and have a second child and feel comfortable with the decisions that I made regarding her sleep.

	Thank you for all you taught me on the sleep workshop, Stephanie.  I do feel that by putting into practice the advise you gave has helped already (even though our daughter is only 3 and a half weeks old). You have given me the confidence to take a step back and pause to see exactly what she is crying about and whether she is just trying to get herself to sleep -which she actually does often. So I give you a huge thank you and warn you that I will be keeping your contact details close over the next couple of years!

	We called Stephanie for help with our 5 year old boy - although a tricky baby he had been a relatively good sleeper until he started to school.  For a 6 month period he had started to wake regularly at night time, refusing to go back to bed and this often lasted for several hours.  In desperation and after months of trying every technique we could think of a friend recommended Stephanie.  Her calm and sensitive approach was just what we needed - following our initial consultation we had regular calls and emails to guide us through her suggestions and routine.  Within a week our son was waking less and staying in bed when he woke.  The very distressing, exhausting and fraught nights were a thing of the past as Stephanie gave us the tools to help him stay in bed and have a calmer approach to bed time.  We still use Stephanie's support and help now - I cannot speak highly enough of her service and urge all parents who have a hit a brick wall when it comes to sleep to give her a call!

	When our youngest was around 8 months old we were in a horrible rut: an exhausted mum trying to cope with a toddler and a baby, regularly being woken 4 or 5 times a night and hardly able to focus, let alone make sense of all the conflicting ‘expert’ information out there on sleep. I was desperate to reverse the pattern of night wakings (that had been getting worse), but we had concerns about controlled crying and wanted to take a gentler approach. Stephanie helped us find a healthy balance: the plan she gave us was methodical and consistent, I don’t feel we ever pushed too far or too fast and our parenting style was listened to and reflected in the plan.  Stephanie was available on the end of email all the way through, despite progress taking longer than planned due to colds, teething, etc. No fear of being abandoned after 3 emails! We are now all sleeping through, the kids are sharing a room without disturbing each other. I'm out of the rut...I can’t recommend working with Stephanie enough!

	I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your advice and support getting our 6 month old twins into a manageable routine, I now feel that I am able to enjoy my babies more, as well as get a little time to myself, and they are much happier too!

	Stephanie was extremely patient with me and carefully guided me in the right direction, always going at my pace and checking I understood and was happy. Helping my 12 month old son to sleep has changed all of our lives.  We are now a happy family.  I can't thank Stephanie enough and would highly recommend her to anyone.

	Thank you so much for all your help, you have literally transformed our lives so we can all sleep again!!   One of the most valuable things you've taught me is simply to 'allow our daughter her voice'....before you said that to me I was always desperate to find the quickest way to stop her from crying. Now I understand sometimes she just needs to cry and I've learnt to differentiate her cries much better. I have written this email whilst sat in our bedroom watching her fall asleep...I've ignored her since putting her in the cot and she had groaned and grizzled and now fallen asleep in just 10 minutes! I think you're right, she is ready for me to put her down and leave the room - I think this will be harder for me though as I quite like this bit of the day, watching her fall asleep!!
