Gentle Sleep Consultant Brisbane Families Trust

If you're looking for a sleep consultant in Brisbane, you're probably exhausted.

Whether you're navigating hourly night waking, short naps, bedtime battles, early rising, sleep regressions, or simply feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice, you're not alone.

At The Sleep Sanctuary, I provide gentle, evidence-based sleep support for babies, toddlers and young children throughout Brisbane and across Australia. Every sleep plan is tailored to your child's temperament, developmental stage and your family's parenting values, because there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to sleep.

As a Certified Baby & Toddler Sleep Consultant, Newborn Care Specialist, Night Nanny and mum of three, I've spent more than 20 years supporting families through the challenges of infancy, toddlerhood and sleep deprivation.

My goal is simple: to help your family get more rest while protecting connection, confidence and emotional wellbeing along the way.

Gentle Sleep Support That Fits Your Family

One of the biggest concerns parents have when reaching out to a sleep consultant is whether they'll be expected to leave their child to cry.

The answer is no.

At The Sleep Sanctuary, we don't believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to sleep. Instead, we work alongside families to create realistic, responsive and age-appropriate strategies that align with their values and goals.

Whether you're looking for a gradual approach, support with settling, guidance around routines, or simply reassurance that you're on the right track, we're here to help.

As an experienced Brisbane sleep consultant, we regularly support families with:

  • Frequent night waking

  • Short naps

  • Early morning waking

  • Bedtime resistance

  • Sleep regressions

  • Separation anxiety at bedtime

  • Catnapping

  • Transitioning from contact naps

  • Moving from co-sleeping to independent sleep

  • Toddler sleep challenges

Many families come to us feeling like they've already tried everything. Often, a few small changes and the right support can make a significant difference.

  • "We can’t thank Sarah at The Sleep Sanctuary enough for the incredible support she gave our family. She helped us create a consistent and realistic routine for our 7-month-old that completely transformed both day and night sleep. Before working with Sarah, our baby needed to fall asleep on mum every time. Now, our little one is self-settling and falling asleep independently within 5 minutes, something we never thought possible!"

    Annette, Brisbane

  • "Definitely 5 stars, would give more if we could! We cannot thank Sarah and The Sleep Sanctuary enough for the life-changing sleep consulting and personalised sleep plan we received for our 7 month old. In less than 3 weeks, our rough sleeper went from waking 6-8 times a night to sleeping 11 hours overnight waking only once for a feed. "

    Vivienne, Brisbane

  • "Sarah has been fantastic with helping us achieve our goals for our baby. She took into consideration our preferences and developed a plan that was appropriate for our baby. I would recommend her to any parents needing the help and assistance."
