When I first met Danielle and her little 3-month-old baby Emily I was greeted by some very loud screaming. It was ear piercing.

She had a really serious case of cat napping and mum was desperate. Danielle was only ever able to get Emily to sleep in the baby sling / Ergobaby. Once there she would easily sleep for 3 hours plus. But not in her cot.

Within minutes of me arriving, I settled Emily to sleep for an hour followed by another 2.5 hours, 3.5 hours in total. She regularly does long sleeps in her cot and mum is rapt. This has translated to sleeping so well that she only wakes for one feed in the night. Mum and dad are very happy and so is Emily. Such a cutie and really thriving.

Danielle's story in her own words

Our baby Emily struggled to sleep. She was only sleeping for a total of 6 hours most days within a 24 hour period, so was extremely tired and irritable. The only way I could get Emily to sleep throughout the day was in the baby carrier, so consequently, I was walking the streets most days like a zombie! My husband and I were exhausted. We received Karen’s details after visiting the GP – Emily also has reflux. After my first call with Karen, I was instantly filled with confidence.

Karen came to visit one afternoon after a morning of Emily screaming and she worked her magic straight away! Whilst she was at our house, she managed to get Emily to sleep for a total of 3.5 hours – and in her cot! Karen made a few suggestions and gave me a number of strategies to use to help Emily sleep which have been invaluable.

Emily now sleeps for around 4 hours each day and is only waking once in the night. My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with the results. What has impressed me the most is Karen’s constant follow up and support. Her services didn’t stop after the home visit – she has taken a genuine interest in Emily’s progress and has been there every step of the way as an amazing support.

I would not hesitate in recommending Karen to any of my friends – she really is the modern day Mary Poppins! Our family is much happier and well rested and we owe it all to Karen’s magic. Thank you!!!!

Karen really understand Toddler Behaviour

I have been going to Karen since my daughter was 7 weeks old. Even through her toddler years, Karen has been spot on and has helped immensely with toddler behaviour related questions. Karen guided me through potty training issues and how to best navigate them based on my strong willed child.

Nurture Parenting - knowledgeable, supportive and gentle

Karen was understanding, kind and supportive with clear strategies to help improve our toddlers sleep. She explained what was happening and gave us a plan to follow. This is the second child we have used Karen’s methods with and I would recommend Nurture Parenting to any parents wanting to better understand their babies sleep and gently help them to self soothe and sleep better.

After buying Karen’s newborn program and successfully using it on baby 2, i decided to start even earlier with baby 3. I got a little confused on certain things since she’s preemie but Karen helped me go back to my core and center, listened attentively and answered all my questions. She also went beyond that and shared new ideas with me. It was ace. I might book another in a few weeks if needed. For now baby is doing everything by the book

Advice and videos are so clear and succinct

I just wanted to write and say thank you. We started your program almost three weeks ago, and it has dramatically changed our babies sleep for the better. Toby (10 months) went from waking 6+ times each night. We fumbled during each wake, as we offered dummies, bottles, whatever we thought would stop the crying for a moment. The only thing that we achieved, was waking him up even more and frustrating the **** out of him!

The first night of magic presence took 40 minutes, and now he is down within minutes once he is placed in the cot. We have had a few sleep throughs as well.

Your advice and videos are so clear and succinct. We found them so easy to follow. To compare, we looked back on a sleep consultant plan that we paid $300+ for with our firstborn and were stunned at how complicated and convoluted the plan was. No wonder it didn't work!!

I was so nervous about going back to work being so sleep deprived, and I was also concerned about how Toby would cope with the transition to day care. However, I now feel a lot more confident (and well rested!).

All the best and thank you again.

I'd pay 10 X what I did for this sleep program

never wanted to sleep train, I didn’t think I could personally tolerate listening to my baby cry endlessly. It surprised me how quickly my 7mo picked this up. Night one we removed the dummy and overnight feed cold turkey. We’re on night 11 and bub has been sleeping through almost every night since night 2 (we’re still battling early wakings every now and then). Day naps have also improved remarkably! I’ve also got one of the mums in my mother’s group onto this who is having huge success with her 8mo boy who she fed to sleep previously!

As my title says, I would pay 10x the amount for this program knowing how well it worked! Listening to the crying whilst in the room with bub was hard, but I know my presence was reassurance for her and it is the only reason I went with the program!!

Thanks so much Karen for this program, it’s working beautifully for us and I know it’s setting us up for long term success! I will recommend to anyone who will listen 😂
