'Lou worked with me to help my three year old feel happy and safe at bed time and get her into a regular sleep timetable. Without her calm patient input I don't think I would have had the confidence or know how to manage the change. We were in a pattern of going to bed at 9.30pm after an exhausting period of negotiation, now she goes to bed at 7 pm with a contented " goodnight mummy" instead of tears- Thank you Lou for your support and wisdom."

'I had three kids under three with my youngest being 6 months, he would wake every 20 minutes for a feed and I was so tired and scared of waking the other children that I would feed him in my bed. Lou Michaeli was referred to me as a gentle sleep coach who only charges once the child is sleeping through. From the outset she advised me on the importance of being consistent also asking me about his sleep patterns and was able to work out a routine that best met his and my needs.
Just when I wanted to give up she pushed me to continue and then it happened. My 6 month old started sleeping from 7 till 6, I couldn't believe it.
My baby is almost 9 months now, and sleeps the best out of all three kids.
I cannot recommend her enough! She's not only a fabulous sleep consultant but she's so friendly, supportive and trustworthy. I would not hesitate to use her when we have another baby nor recommend her to anyone who is having sleep issues with their children.'

'When my daughter turned two I decided to stop breastfeeding and co-sleeping but was terrified about how stressful and hard the process would be and the anxiety of my past attempts to cry out. I realise now that it was just as much me who needed the confidence as my daughter.
To say Lou is a miracle worker is an understatement!!! she took into consideration all our individual circumstances and tailored a plan to suit us. My two year old who had never slept more than four hours straight was calmly and blissfully sleeping through the night after only four nights! And so was I for the first time since when I was pregnant.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lou as a gentle sleep consultant especially for anyone who is hesitant because you only pay when they are sleeping through so its always a win win.'
Sara - mum to Leo
' I was at my wit's end! my son was waking every sleep cycle, the sleep deprivation was ruining me. I was not a fan of the "cry it out" approach as I would of hated my son to feel distressed. There had to be a better way- and there is!! Lou was fantastic from the outset, she worked with us on a very gentle and calming approach, I was always present which provided my son with the reassurance he wasn't being abandoned. Within a few nights, he was self settling and after a week sleeping through the night!!!
Thank you Lou for helping our little family, your method absolutely works and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others.'
