Gentle Sleep Support | Adelaide

When you're a parent, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by all of the differing sleep advice out there.
"Sleep train your baby." "Don't let them cry it out." "Your baby must sleep in a cot." "A good baby can self-settle."
And on and on. It's enough to make anyone's head spin!

What is the Elemental Beginnings Approach?

We all know that sleep can be tricky when you have a little person in the house. It can leave you feeling tired, overwhelmed or at your wit's end.

I get it. I'm a Mum of four. I've been there too.

That's why I provide an education and coaching service that helps parents get ready for what's ahead and work through any sleep bumps.

I don't use traditional sleep training but rather a gentle, respectful approach that works with your family dynamic. I use a developmental neuroscience approach to help you understand what expected and healthy sleep behaviour is, while giving you tools to support your little one's development.
​
So whether it's getting your little sleeping more soundly or helping your toddler cope with separation anxiety, I'll teach you everything you need to know about what is normal for your child's age and stage of development. You'll learn about schedules (although perhaps not in the way you are already thinking), calming techniques, and holistic sleep solutions that work for you and your baby!

Are you feeling tired, overwhelmed, or at your wit's end?

I can help you create sleep solutions that will work for you AND your baby

"Sleep challenges can be hard and there aren't usually one-size-fits-all solutions.  But know that, one way or another, there's always a way around whatever is making you lose sleep.”

Kelly Harper | Infant and Family Sleep Specialist | Adelaide
Over the past ten years, I've had so many families ask me about their little one's sleep.  I've never prescribed a training method.  Instead, I encourage parents to listen to their instincts and find solutions that work for them. 

Because I don't believe there is a one size fits all guarantee.

As an infant and family sleep specialist, I take a root-cause approach to sleep based on understanding your child's unique developmental needs.
​
I recommend strategies that are centred on attachment and responsiveness, always.
​
I'd love to work with your family to honour and strengthen the relationship between you and your little person and provide support for whole-family wellness.  Without sleep training.
