    Laura - Sleep Coach & Founder of Sleep Success


    A sleep coach can wear many hats.  Sometimes I’m a shoulder to cry on, sometimes a counsellor, other times a planner, designer or problem solver.  I can be teacher, trainer, but always a good listener.  Whatever you need, I’m here for you.

    Sleep Success was created from sheer passion for all things related to sleep and well-being.  I was so inspired by the help I’d received and the improvements I’d made to my daughter’s routine when I did some sleep coaching with her, that when I took a step back to admire the results, I just had to pay it forward.  Going from a sleep deprived existence to living a full, well-rested life with a baby who sleeps (allowing everyone else to sleep) is an absolute game changer.

    I’m one of a very select group of sleep coaches who’ve had the privilege of being trained by the wonderful Heidi from The Parent and Baby Coach.  Let me tell you, when it comes to sleep coaching, gone are the days of putting a baby in a room and closing the door.  I’m trained to look at everything that could be preventing your child from sleeping well. I take a holistic approach when trying to identify the root cause of what’s impacting sleep, as sometimes the cause is not as obvious as we might like.

    Abby - Absolute Fitness

    I’ve always loved fitness and have worked in the industry for over 19 years. Since becoming a parent myself, I've focused on supporting mums through pregnancy, post-partum and am now also supporting women as they enter perimenopause. The benefits of exercise through all these life stages is crucial for physical and mental wellbeing- let's face it, being a woman can be an emotional rollercoaster! 

    With a background in sports & exercise psychology, I understand how to motivate people to adhere to a fitness programme and healthy eating plan (no dieting here!) and work with each client on an individually tailored plan according to their goals. I provide a mobile service so busy parents don't need to juggle childcare, parking or traffic- taking the stress out of exercise. And if you really want to de-stress, I also offer mobile relaxation, pregnancy, post-partum and sports massage in the comfort of your own home!

  • Sarah - Baby Wearing & Cloth Nappies

    Owner, Green by the Bay

    I founded Green by the Bay in 2022, shortly after welcoming my fifth child. With 17 years of experience using cloth nappies on all of my children, I’ve developed a great understanding and appreciation for their eco-friendly benefits. My goal was to share this knowledge with others, helping them start their own cloth journey. I also spent four years volunteering as a nappy librarian, helping others learn about and use cloth nappies effectively.

    As a parent, I’ve loved carrying each of my children, from tiny newborns to active preschoolers. In 2017, I became a trained Babywearing Peer Support, offering guidance and encouragement to fellow parents. More recently, I have returned to my studies to train as a Babywearing Consultant with the renowned School of Babywearing, with the aim to further enhances my ability to support and empower others.

    Green by the Bay is built around my family and my commitment to a greener lifestyle. As a mother, I aim to spend as much quality time with my children as possible while also working to reduce our environmental impact for their future.
