Bedtime battles or frequent waking
Bedtime stretches on, naps are a struggle, or your child wakes several times a night — and you’re running on empty the next day.
Personalised guidance for your child’s sleep, shaped around their needs and what feels right for you.
From frequent waking to conflicting advice, let’s focus on what may help your family.
Bedtime stretches on, naps are a struggle, or your child wakes several times a night — and you’re running on empty the next day.
You’ve read the blogs, saved the tips and heard completely different opinions. Let’s sort through what may actually help your child.
You want more rest, but you don’t want to ignore your instincts, stop breastfeeding before you’re ready, or leave your child to cry alone.
You don’t need to have all the answers before asking for help. We’ll start where you are and take it one step at a time.
I completed training with Baby Sleep Consultant Training, a New Zealand-based programme and one of the training pathways recognised by the Dutch Association for Child Sleep Coaches (NBKSC).
My programme included practical work with 12 families before graduation, helping me apply what I learned to real-life situations.
I’ll help you understand your options and choose steps that feel right for your family.
We’ll understand your family, make a clear plan together and support you as you put it into practice.
You’ll fill in a sleep history questionnaire about your child’s patterns, your routines, what you’ve tried and what matters most to you. This helps me understand the bigger picture before we meet.
During our consultation, we’ll talk through your questions, your priorities and what feels comfortable for your family. I’ll use your input and our conversation to create a clear, personalised sleep plan, with practical steps you can follow at home.
You’ll have a clear plan to guide you, and you won’t be left to work through it alone. During your weekly 30-minute review calls and follow-up support, we’ll talk about what’s working, answer questions and make thoughtful adjustments when needed.
We’ll look at what you’ve learned, revisit any questions and talk about helpful next steps for your family. There’s no expectation of perfection — the aim is for you to feel informed and more confident moving forward.
The exact follow-up schedule depends on the package you choose, so you’ll know what support to expect from the start.
Sleep coaching is non-medical support, not health advice, and does not replace medical care. If there is any concern, uncertainty or doubt about your child’s health or wellbeing, I will pause sleep-coaching guidance and refer you to an appropriate healthcare professional.
Start with your child’s age, then choose the level of support you’d like.

Choose packageFor everyday sleep challenges when you’d like a clear plan and someone in your corner as you try it. We’ll look at what may be affecting sleep and choose practical steps that feel right for your family.
Bedtime takes ages, naps are tricky, your child wakes often, or the advice you’ve tried hasn’t quite clicked. You’d like a knowledgeable coach to help you make sense of what’s happening, feel reassured and encouraged, and build confidence with practical, personalised guidance.
For families dealing with several challenges at once, or who feel overwhelmed and would benefit from more time to work through things. We’ll check what’s helping, talk through setbacks and adapt the plan together.
You’ve tried lots of things but still feel stuck, or several sleep challenges are piling up and you’re not sure what to try next. You’d value more time, steady support and space to work through setbacks without having to figure it all out alone.
Bring any questions, worries or concerns — or simply come for practical tips and a clearer understanding of what your child is experiencing now, or may experience next as they grow. We’ll talk through your situation and explore helpful ideas together, with no ongoing package needed.
Family feedback will appear here as The Dream Nook grows.
I support families with babies and young children from birth to 6 years. Gentle Beginnings is for newborns aged 0–5 months; the personalised sleep support packages are for children aged 6 months to 6 years.
No. Breastfeeding and night feeds can remain part of your family’s approach. We’ll take your feeding goals and your child’s needs into account, without assuming that you want or need to stop.
I won’t ask you to follow a particular method just because it is part of a standard programme. We’ll discuss options together, and only consider changes you feel comfortable with. If something doesn’t feel right, we can adapt it or choose another approach.
We’ll meet online, talk through your child’s sleep and your family’s priorities, and explore options together. Depending on your package, you’ll have follow-up support to ask questions and adjust your approach as needed.
No. Sleep coaching is non-medical support, not health advice, and does not diagnose or treat medical conditions. If there is any concern, uncertainty or doubt about your child's health or wellbeing, I will pause sleep-coaching guidance and refer you to an appropriate healthcare professional.
Yes. You can book a free introductory call to tell me a little about your family and ask any initial questions. We can also talk through which option may suit you.
Usually, independent baby and child sleep coaching is not automatically covered. In the Netherlands, basic insurance generally does not reimburse it, although some supplementary policies have specific benefits for particular sleep courses or named providers. For example, ONVZ lists online baby sleep coaching with a specific provider under its Optifit plan and higher supplementary plans for 2026; this does not mean sessions with The Dream Nook are covered. In France, non-medical sleep coaching is not generally reimbursed by Assurance Maladie. A mutuelle may cover certain extra services depending on your contract; see the French government guidance on complementary health insurance. Please check directly with your insurer before booking, as coverage depends on the exact policy and provider.
For online bookings, you generally have a statutory 14-day withdrawal period from the day the agreement is made. If you ask us to start coaching during this period, we’ll first obtain your express consent and explain that you may need to pay a proportionate amount for the service already provided if you withdraw. If the service is fully completed during this period, your withdrawal right only ends where the legal requirements for your express consent and acknowledgement have been met. After the statutory withdrawal period, package payments are non-refundable if you choose to stop the coaching, except where applicable law gives you a right to a refund or other remedy, including if the service has not been provided as agreed. Please contact me by email to cancel or discuss a concern.
A relaxed 20-minute conversation to tell me a little about your family, ask initial questions and see whether my support feels like a good fit. There’s no pressure to book a package.
