I called Catalina in when my baby boy was about 12 months old. His morning naps were manageable, but his night naps were appalling. He would wake up multiple times during the first half of the night and at least once in the second half. He’d be unsettled for hours until I finally offered him milk. I also tried sleep training him myself, but it did not go anywhere as my boy was resilient and had demonstrated very strong personality. It was just getting too much and it was high time I called for some help.

I must have spoken to almost 20 sleeping consultants, including Catalina. Compared to other sleeping consultants, Catalina was very patient, sincere and calm during my very initial enquiry call. She asked about my boy’s routine in detail, and have already made some constructive comments as to what I did wrong. Our very first call before I engaged her lasted for almost 30min and she assured me that she would respect our parenting style and make a tailored plan to suit our family (and so she did!).

Catalina also made me feel at ease with her holistic and thorough approach where she designed a detailed questionnaire covering all aspects of my son’s daily routine (including nutrition intake) and prepared a full customised assessment before our first home visit.

The new routine she introduced to us was scientifically designed to best help a baby’s mental and physical development. Once we followed her new routine, my son’s night sleep consolidated on day 1! We worked together closely to introduce the new routine to my boy and quickly within days trained him to sleep independently.

She was very accommodating to our family’s situation and has been very supportive along the way. Having our best interest in mind, she was flexible with her service offering and always there for us, patiently holding our hand and providing prompt advice, including sleeping tips for babies on the go, adjusting daylight savings etc. She was compassionate, understanding and sincere every time I spoke with her and in all her email and text response. My boy is now doing very well and with the right amount of rest, he is putting on decent weight. She also provided us with a summary written report towards the end of the session and plenty of useful follow-up materials.

We couldn’t thank her enough for her professionalism, scientific, flexible and personal approach and diligence. I am very glad I made the right decision to choose her and wish we had her in much earlier.

Catalina has been incredible in assisting us with our daughter’s sleep routines.

At the time Ella was 7 months old and taking up to 3 hours to settle before her naps. Catalina demonstrated an easy to follow day and night routine which has completely turned things around! We couldn’t be happier.

Catalina was also there to support us every step of the way, which I found made the world of difference when implementing Ella’s new routine!

Cannot thank you enough xxx

After 14 months of sleepless nights, we have finally established a good sleep time with our son.

Catalina was very supportive throughout the whole process and was able to design a program that was responsive to our family’s needs.

Catalina’s holistic approach meant that my child’s needs were met, our parenting philosophy was respected and our family’s schedule was considered. In addition to the sleep routine, she was able to share her knowledge about children’s behaviour, their nutritional needs and the science behind sleep. This has helped to ensure we are creating the best possible environments, for positive sleep routines. Catalina was clear about her goals from the start and was able to guide us, to ensure we had successful outcomes.

Our little one is now sleeping from 7pm-7am and is sleeping well during the day. We have gone from stressful bedtimes to our child now waving at bedtimes, and who is able to settle himself to sleep. Catalina has also given us information to support our next sleep stages, which is going to help for future transitions.

Thank you so much Catalina!

My 16-month-old had never slept through the night; she wanted to play and sleep in our bed and have everyone up before 5 am.

Within a few days of Catalina’s advice, she was sleeping in her own cot and even started sleeping through till 7 am. She is a much happier toddler now as she is getting her sleep, and so is the rest of the family! Thanks so much, Catalina.

I’ve been working with Catalina since my baby was 8 weeks old. Mia wasn’t a terrible sleeper but we really had no routine so she didn’t know when bedtime should be and when it was playtime!

Catalina assisted in providing us with routines to follow and they have been amazing!

Really helped to teach Mia the difference between night and day. She is now 5 months old, has 3 naps each day and sleeps from 7 pm to 7 am with 2 feeds in the night. We are continuing to work together on different resettling techniques as Mia gets older.
I’ve found Catalina to be caring and patient. Flexible and will work face to face, over the phone and via email. If one of the techniques or suggestions she makes doesn’t work for your baby, she’ll take that feedback on board and provide alternatives to fit in with your routine and lifestyle.

She worked with me and my six-month-old daughter and we saw significant improvements in her sleep in less than 24 hours. Before Catalina visited, my daughter was breastfed to sleep pretty much exclusively; she only catnapped during the day and in the night would often wake for a block of up to three hours. Now, she self-settles (often she is asleep before I even leave the nursery), is able to link sleep cycles during the day and sleeps 12 hours straight each night. You can see the changes in her mood as a result – she’s far less grizzly (as are her parents!)

Catalina was wonderful to deal with throughout the whole process. She knew I wasn’t okay with letting my daughter cry it out, so she tailored an approach to what I felt comfortable with. During those first two weeks after we established her new routine, she checked in regularly and promptly and comprehensively responded to the (many!) questions I threw her way.

I see so much scepticism directed at sleep training and I was unsure myself before taking the plunge, but it is honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made as a parent. Our household has been turned around. Now that we’re all sleeping through the night I have much more patience and energy, and I’m a better mum for it. Thank you Catalina!

Amazing service and has made our lives so much better! Sleeping baby = happy family! Thanks so much to Cat for all your advice and help! Highly recommend.

Kelly and baby Summer

Within 24hrs of our first chat with Catalina, my 6 month twins were sleeping 7pm – 7am! Then after illness steered one of my twins off track with some very bad habits (multiple night wakings, needing to be rocked & held for HOURS to sleep, dummy reliance) Catalina’s advice, education & hand holding guided us back to perfect naps & sleeps every night. She took the time to get to know our boys, then tailored a schedule & sleep training techniques that suited our family, our boys’ personalities & our specific needs – life with twins is always a little complicated!

We saw immediate improvement from day 1, which only continued to get better as we worked together over the next few weeks, tweaking the schedule as needed & with Catalina answering every thought & every question along the way.

Catalina also educated us on general baby sleep needs & environment, making us confident to adapt as their sleep needs change in future.

An absolute pleasure.
