She specialized in baby and toddler sleep and helping parents struggling with their child’s sleep by using positive sleep solutions and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy type treatments.[/custom_font][vc_empty_space height=”15″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”15″][custom_font font_size=”15″ line_height=”26″ font_style=”normal” text_align=”left” font_weight=”300″ text_decoration=”none” text_shadow=”no” color=”#666666″]She studied BA (Marketing Communication) at the University of Johannesburg and has a background in marketing and social media. However, it was when her son was born that her life changed completely – not just socially but also professionally. After four months of waking up every 45 minutes she searched all over the world for help and her journey to better sleep eventually lead her to train in America to become the first Sleep Sense consultant in Africa. Her son’s transformation made such an impact on her that she decided to dedicate her professional life to helping families in Africa; educating them on the importance, relevance and manageable aspects of child, toddler and baby sleep.

Since the humble beginnings of the start of the business, she has helped hundreds of families to better sleep and further educates herself in the spheres of neuroscience, nutrition, toddler discipline, breastfeeding and other baby and sleep related matters. She believes sleep is the fundamental building block of healthy living and considers the education around better sleep as a passion, more than a job.

She lives in Centurion, South Africa with her family.[/custom_font][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space][custom_font font_size=”20″ line_height=”25″ font_style=”normal” text_align=”left” font_weight=”600″ text_decoration=”none” text_shadow=”no” color=”#9c95b4″]Qualifications[/custom_font][vc_empty_space][custom_font font_size=”15″ line_height=”26″ font_style=”normal” text_align=”left” font_weight=”300″ text_decoration=”none” text_shadow=”no” color=”#666666″]Certified Sleep Sense Consultant – Sleep Sense (USA)
