Sleep shouldn’t feel this hard
If your baby is:
Waking every 1–2 hours overnight
Only settling with feeding, rocking, or motion
Catnapping or fighting sleep during the day
Waking early no matter what you try
You do not need more tips.
You do not need another generic routine.
You need to understand why your baby is waking.
Because the night waking is not the problem.
The short naps are not the problem.
The early rising is not the problem.
They are the symptoms.
The real work is identifying what is driving them - and that is where I come in.
With experienced, objective eyes, I uncover the patterns that are often impossible to see when you are deep in the exhaustion yourself. Then I design a clear, evidence-based plan that addresses the root cause, so sleep can improve in a way that feels calm, sustainable, and aligned with your family.
I don’t offer generic sleep advice.
I design sleep
As your baby’s Sleep Architect, I draw on over 23 years of midwifery experience to assess and align every factor influencing sleep.
Like an architect, I meticulously design every step of your baby’s sleep - aligning biology, rhythm, feeding, and environment into a system that works for you.
When these elements come together, night waking reduces, naps stabilise, and sleep begins to flow.
No guesswork. Just clear, structured guidance that works.

I wish we had got Jo in sooner because our little boy was always a bad sleeper. We hired someone else before Jo, when he was 9m and they didn't help at all. In comparison, Jo tailored her approach to our son and understood his needs. With Jo, it's not a 'one size fits all' approach - which we loved!! She had Cooper sleeping through and taking his dad at night when needed - instead of just me...in under a week! When she said she could do that I didn't believe her! Forever grateful

Jo is by far the best investment we have made for our family postpartum. Jo is the only person I trust to care for our newborn baby and I sleep so soundly knowing that my baby is in the best hands. I had PPA/PPD with my first baby and I can happily say I have not experienced it with my second due to having the support from Jo. Our 6 week old baby consistently sleeps 5-6 hours straight when Jo is over, and she gives us peace of mind by also tending to our 18 month old if he wakes in the night. There’s no better feeling than waking up refreshed in the morning and coming out to our son eating breakfast and playing with her, our newborn happily sleeping and all of our laundry done and house reset. Postpartum is truly a sacred time and Jo has helped make it incredibly special for us this time around. I would recommend her to anyone, and she makes me feel like I could easily have a 3rd baby!

As first time parents, we have been through phases of feeling very overwhelmed - but Jo has been our guiding light. Her support with our son Huddy's sleep and routine has completely transformed our home into a calm, thriving space. She's helped us navigate sleep & offered invaluable advice through every phase of our parenting journey so far, always with genuine care and compassion. Jo is a true wealth of knowledge with the biggest heart, and we honestly wouldn't be where we are today without her.

Jo is a lifesaver! We weren't sure where to look as my first son slept through the night on his own but my second one was getting harder and harder to put down for naps and bedtime. Jo's knowledge & medical experience had him sleeping well in days. She's extremely personable and makes sure how she implements her method is easy to understand. Highly recommend!

Jo is an actual magician! She turned my waking every 45mins, needing to feed back to sleep baby into a 12hrs a night, independent sleeper in just 2 days. And she did it with such kindness and compassion. When we had our second bub we already knew the foundations but when she started cat napping at 3 months old, we were onto Jo in a heartbeat. She made some small tweaks to our routine, and we've now got 2 excellent little sleepers. We cannot recommend Jo highly enough
