Welcome, I’m Lisa!
If you’re reading this while feeling completely exhausted, wondering when you’ll ever get a stretch of uninterrupted sleep again—take a deep breath. You are in the right place, and you don't have to navigate this alone.
With over 15 years of experience working in early childhood education, I’ve spent my career surrounded by little ones and the wonderful families raising them. Over the years, I saw firsthand just how vital healthy sleep is—not only for a child’s growth, regulation, and happy development, but for the well-being of the whole family. I watched so many loving, capable parents run on empty, feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice. That passion for helping families thrive is what led me to establish Gentle Steps to Slumber.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all sleep training or leaving babies to cry it out alone. Healthy sleep is so much more than just troubleshooting a bedtime routine; it’s about understanding your child’s unique temperament, developmental stage, and family rhythm.
My approach is built on compassion, flexibility, and gradual steps. We take things at a pace that feels comfortable for you and your child, making steady, gentle adjustments that build confidence and security. I am right there alongside you to guide, encourage, and tweak our approach so it fits seamlessly into your daily life.
I support families across Sydney's Northern Beaches and surrounding areas are who are ready for a gentler way to restore rest. Whether you’re dealing with frequent night wakings, short naps, chaotic bedtime battles, or simply feeling overwhelmed by sleep transitions, I love working with parents who want a supportive, balanced partner in their corner.
My philosophy
Whether you room-share, bed-share, or want independent sleep, there is no one-size-fits-all approach here. We’ll take gentle, customised steps together to get your whole family the restful sleep you deserve.
