Whether you're heading back to work after maternity leave, worried about your baby starting nursery, dealing with night wakings, or just desperate for sleep - I can help.
Most of all, I understand moms.
I understand the emotional side of this too. The guilt, the anxiety, the feeling like you're doing something wrong.
I've been there.
Looking for solutions for a better night's rest? You're in the right place.
I'm Shelby, and I know how exhausting it is when you're not sleeping.
If you're here, you're probably running on empty and need things to change. And soon.
I worked as an Early Years Teacher in Doha for 10 years. I've cared for hundreds of babies and toddlers, and I know how capable they are when they're given the right support.
A little back story.
As both a parent and an early years teacher, I understand how exhausting sleepless nights can be, especially when you’re trying to balance work, motherhood, and your own wellbeing.
I know what it feels like to return to work after maternity leave while battling separation anxiety, overwhelm, and a baby who still wakes often.
My journey into sleep consulting began after the birth of my baby girl. Her sudden and fast arrival left me navigating recovery, trauma, and months of sleepless nights. I didn’t want anyone to hold her or go near her for a long time, and the emotional load alongside the sleep deprivation felt impossible.
Through this experience, I learned just how deeply sleep affects a child’s development and a parent’s emotional balance, confidence, and daily life.
When I discovered the Sleep Sense™ Program, it transformed everything for us. Within days, my baby began sleeping peacefully, without long nights of crying, and without leaving me feeling like I was doing something wrong. - This was incredibly important to me as a mother. The change in her happiness, her growth, and our overall family life was incredible. Having worked with children and parents every day for over a decade, my motivation is to support families in a deeper, more meaningful way. That’s what led me here. Today, I help families all over the world in our strong expat community create consistent, nurturing routines using gentle, proven methods that respect each child’s personality and each family’s unique needs. My goal is simple: to help you feel confident, supported, and finally well-rested again.

Client Testimonials
“Being a first-time working mom, I carried so much guilt about going back to work and leaving my son at home with a nanny. I was anxious about going back to work after maternity leave, still needing to wake every hour to feed him back to sleep.
I’m so grateful I found Shelby. In the first few days I could see a huge difference and she helped us tackle his short naps and constant night wakings. I was so proud of him, even being so little that he's learned to self-soothe and would wake briefly, then put himself back to sleep.
He was soon going 8-hour stretches at night and sometimes even longer. It changed everything for us.
Thank you, Shelby!”
Baby C, 14 Months
“Working with Shelby was truly life-changing for our family. My child was only sleeping about four hours at night, waking hyper and ready to play, and I felt completely overwhelmed.
From the very first call, Shelby was kind, clear, and reassuring. She explained exactly why we were struggling and created a realistic plan tailored to our family without any pressure.
She checked in consistently, guided me through every concern, and kept me confident and on track. The progress was incredible and my child now sleeps through the night, follows a proper routine, and I finally get real rest again.
It has made such a positive difference to our home. I’m so grateful for her support.”
Baby K, 18 Months
"My daughter is now falling asleep on her own within minutes and she does not wake up at night- even if she does, she goes back to sleep and does not need to come to our bed. We all sleep on our own bed now and I have personal time. Initially, she would wake up an hour after I was putting her down and would only sleep on me/with me. I had zero personal time. Now I do!
Shelby did a great job. She did not treat us like robots, she could understand and she provided emotional support as well. Super important, as the first days were difficult and I was questioning myself.
Shelby supported me emotionally and we did this together."
