We decided to call Sophie upon a friend’s recommendation as we were getting hardly any sleep. To put it simply, we had developed a habit of bringing our daughter into bed with us and I would end up giving her a feed every time she stirred. I thought to myself, ‘If I just give her a quick feed, she’ll fall asleep again.’ Well that didn’t work! The one thing that did work was Sophie! I found it very confusing to read about different sleep training approaches on the Internet. Sophie on the other hand provided us with the strategies and support needed to get through the toughest days of our sleep training. Within a week, our baby was sleeping earlier and having better naps throughout the day. Then we hit a speed bump and our baby started cutting new teeth. That was the wonderful thing about Sophie’s service. We had Sophie’s support for a whole month, which allowed us to get back on track after our baby’s teething stopped. I never thought Annika would sleep 12 hours at night and have two 1.5 hour naps each day. Sophie once told me that I’d be laughing at Christmas time. She was right! One day I had told her she was magical, and in my eyes, I think I was right! My baby sleeps now!!! Thanks Sophie

We wanted to thank you for all your advice. Sonny is in a better routine and settles much quicker for sleeps during the day. We have a much happier little man (and mumma). The plans were great and any time we had a question it was answered in the information you sent through. Thanks again, we really appreciate the realistic advice and support.

"Sophie saved us!" My daughter was a relatively good sleeper at the beginning but then we hit the 4 month sleep regression! Because I hadn't needed to equip myself with many settling techniques in the first 4 months I was at a complete loss. Sophie was supportive, attentive, listened to all my concerns, and provided me with fantastic guidance to settle my little girl. She was even a shoulder to cry on at times. Within a week my daughter was back to sleeping through the night, has solid sleeps during the day and is generally a happier child as a result. As Sophie says - sleep promotes sleep. This statement is so true! Sophie, I can't thank you enough for your advice and positive attitude. From a very happy well rested mummy

I started working with Shae when my son Bodhi was 6 months old. My husband and I were at our wits end. We were exhausted, completely sleep deprived and with no change in sight. We had several difficulties with him as a Bub including reflux, cow's milk protein intolerance, and a lip and tongue tie. As a result of him being so unsettled, we would do anything to try to relieve his distress. At the time that I contacted Shae Bodhi would start the night sleeping in his cot, but by anywhere from 10-1am he would end up in bed with us because we couldn't resettle him in his cot. From the day Shae came to see us, Bodhi started sleeping all night in his bed. Initially, he required some settling, but this was brief, and he and I were so much more relaxed during the whole process. Within less than 2 weeks he started sleeping through the night! Now he only wakes if he's teething or has a cold, but is still able to be settled back into his cot. Shae was so wonderful to work with - I really can't speak highly enough of her. She is really caring and listened to what I felt comfortable with, and was so encouraging, often checking in later down the track to make sure things were still going well. I have such a happier little man too now, as he's no longer tired all the time. We are grateful to have found Shae and would definitely seek her support for baby number two if we had challenges again.

Thank you Sophie for helping us get both of our boys sleeping! Eddie (3.5 yrs) was waking 3-4 times every night, and would think it was playtime at 5-5:30am every morning! He was very over tired, and we saw a lot of 'naughty' behavior coming from him as a result. After three weeks, he was sleeping through the night and now wakes between 6-6:30am sometimes even 7am! You have given us back our happy boy! Louie (6 months) previously only slept in the car for his morning and afternoon naps; but after following Sophie's techniques, we have our little man sleeping in his cot for morning and afternoon sleep - as well as in the car!! And it only took 1week!!! We are all so thankful for your help

Just want to say a HUGE thank you to Sophie Acott. She has been fantastic and so helpful with getting my daughter to sleep! I haven't had any experience with sleep consultants before, but I couldn't recommend her enough. It's amazing how much of a difference it has made just making a few adjustments to Madi's routine. Before this, I was getting 8-10 hours of broken sleep and maybe an hour during the day. Now I'm getting 11 hours solid of a night and 2-3 + hours during the day. Thank you so much!

Sophie has been a pleasure to work with to help me reach my sleep goals with Cooper. Unlike other sleep consultants, she took into account my gentle parenting style and never pushed me to do anything I wasn't comfortable with. Sophie was able to guide me using simple little things that I would never have thought of or tried. The biggest improvement has been his day sleeps that have gone from 40 min cat naps to 1.5-2 hours! It has been amazing. Sophie is very supportive and is there to talk at anytime during the month if you have any questions. She always follows up with a text or phone call and gives you ideas if things aren't quite going to plan. I couldn't recommend Sleep Play Love enough

When we came to Sophie, my husband and I were beyond exhausted with frequent night wakings, 2 hourly feeds (or less) day and night, chronic cat napping, co sleeping, day time naps occurred in our arms after long periods of rock/pat/nursing to sleep and our anxiety surrounding this 'song and dance' was through the roof. With Sophie's gentle methods and kind support we now have a reflux/colicky baby who sleeps well, in the cot and in the nursery, feeds 3.5-4 hourly day and night, hubby is confident to put to sleep, I feel 'free' because that does not rest solely with me and you have eased the strain on our marriage and have given us the gift of sleep. We now have the confidence going forward to adjust her routine as she grows and her needs change and its all thanks to you. I cannot express my gratitude and I am so thankful that we had the good sense to reach out for help. I can only hope that others have the courage to do the same. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Dear Sophie, Thank you for everything you have done for us over the last two weeks!!! You have changed our way of life!!! We are so happy with the outcome of your advice. We have a happy baby that sleeps through most of the time, although we have other things to tackle I feel so much more confident that we will be able to over come them - thanks to you. We highly recommend you to any parents needing advice and support xxx

I contacted Sophie when my baby George was only 14 weeks as a nervous first time mum obsessing over his sleep. George was a chronic day time catnapper and hard work to get down so I resorted to rocking my bright eyed boy to sleep... and could see a bad habit forming. From the word go, I loved Sophie's gentle approach to helping babies (and parents!) get more sleep. I honestly felt like I'd known Sophie for years after our first phone consultation, where she made small adjustments to George's sleep environment and gave me realistic expectations on self settling. Within a month George's sleeps started getting longer and he was self settling like a little champion. Like all babies, he still has his off days and when we hit hurdles like teeth or developmental leaps I ride it out and know his sleep will go back to normal in no time... And it does! A big thanks to the gorgeous Sophie for all her help. Couldn't recommend her highly enough X
