Shannon Young – Canberra Gentle Sleep Educator
I help worn-out parents get back to quiet evenings by teaching loving, responsive strategies that help their little ones sleep better.
No rigid methods, just the gentle sleep support that your family needs to thrive.
Feeling burnt-out by your little one’s sleep (or lack there-of)? You’re in the right spot. Better Sleep 101 is full of gentle, simple steps you can take to make bedtime a breeze. Get ready to say hello to quieter evenings, starting now.
You know you need help with your child’s sleep, there’s only one problem: you want to improve things without using the old school “let them cry” sleep training methods, and you’re just too exhausted to sift through the endless advice and recommendations to find what will work for your family. That’s where I come in! I’m a Gentle Sleep Coach and I’ve studied all things sleep so that you don’t have to. I’m here to help you get back to those quiet evenings that you are longing for!
I’ll personally guide you and your little one to more peaceful nights and energised mornings. Say goodbye to the exhaustion from countless night wakings and feel confident in your nighttime parenting—all without wading through a sea of conflicting advice.
Stop the endless search for the right advice, and instead follow a clear, actionable guide created for the gentle parent. Learn loving sleep strategies to help your child sleep better so that you can enjoy quiet evenings and restful nights.
Grow your confidence with gentle sleep strategies so that your evenings are smooth, your child benefits from quality sleep, and you feel like a sleep pro, ready for anything.
And boy did I struggle with sleep with my first baby. I truly believe that sleep deprivation is a special kind of torture, so once I worked out how to help my son to sleep better, I became a Gentle Sleep Coach & Certified Infant & Child Sleep Consultant so that I could help other families leave the sleep deprivation behind too.
I’m now Mum to two young boys and between them both we’ve experienced all of the things – terrible sleep, colic, reflux, intolerances, tongue-ties, if it affects sleep, you name it and we’ve probably been through it!
But the good news is, along with my qualifications as a Certified Infant & Child Sleep Consultant and Gentle Sleep Educator, my real life experience puts me in a unique position to help you and your family.
I’ve lived the transformation that I’ll be guiding you through, and I know first hand just how much sleep deprivation affects things – from your mental and physical health, to your relationships, to pretty much everything in life. So let’s get you on the path to better sleep mama.
Over 2 weeks we will work together to unpack and understand your little one’s sleep challenges, and make gentle, responsive changes to help your family get the sleep you need.
Sleep had become a distant memory…. After working with Shannon he now sleeps right through, it truly is amazing! I cannot thank Shannon enough, my only regret is that we didn’t engage her sooner. Shannon is so passionate about helping your little one learn to sleep independently. Her advice and strategies was outstanding. We felt supported during the whole process and Shannon’s calm approach was exactly what we needed. This was a truly life changing experience, don’t think twice if your story sounds like ours.
