Sleep Consultant & Night Nanny in Hawthorne
Gentle, Responsive Sleep Support for Brisbane Families
If you're a parent in Hawthorne running on empty and wondering if sleep will ever feel easier, you're not alone. So many families I work with are doing everything “right” and still feeling stuck. That’s where I come in.
I’m Sarah, a Certified Sleep Consultant, Night Nanny, and Mum of three. I help Brisbane families gently and confidently navigate baby and toddler sleep without the overwhelm. Whether you’re deep in the newborn trenches or trying to get your toddler to stop bouncing out of bed at 5am, I offer tailored, one-on-one support designed around your family.
And yes, I work right here in lovely Hawthorne.
Why Hawthorne Parents Choose The Sleep Sanctuary
Over the past 20 years, I’ve supported hundreds of families through:
Frequent night waking and split nights
Catnapping, short or inconsistent naps
Bedtime battles and early rising
Sleep regressions and developmental transitions
Gently phasing out sleep associations like rocking or feeding to sleep
Building confident sleep rhythms that feel good for everyone
Whether you’re nestled near Hawthorne Park, strolling Riding Road, or grabbing a coffee before nap time, I offer both in-home sleep consultations across Brisbane’s inner east and flexible online support options.
How I Support You
No two babies are the same, and no two families are either. That’s why I take the time to really listen, understand your goals, and create a plan that fits your parenting style.

Virtual sleep consultations – personalised, flexible, and available Australia-wide
In-home support – available in Hawthorne, Bulimba, Balmoral, Morningside & beyond

A Bit About Me
As both a Sleep Consultant and Night Nanny, I bring a warm, evidence-based approach that balances science with real-life experience. I’ve been where you are. Exhausted, unsure, and desperate for some guidance that actually works. That’s why everything I do is built on responsiveness, trust, and helping you feel empowered every step of the way.
I believe in gentle changes, steady support, and celebrating the little wins. Because when you’re sleep-deprived, those little wins feel huge.

“The Sleep Sanctuary has been an absolute game-changer for our family.
As a mum, there’s nothing more overwhelming than sleepless nights — but working with Sarah completely changed our world. She offered gentle, personalised advice that aligned with our parenting style and made us feel supported every step of the way.
I can’t recommend The Sleep Sanctuary enough to any parent who feels exhausted, unsure, or just needs a guiding hand. It’s one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family — and our sanity!”
