3.5 year old twins
"Working with Emily has been incredibly helpful for our whānau! Her supportive, understanding, and flexible approach has been a godsend as we navigated adjusting our three kids to a new routine. In the past, I feared sleep training because I was afraid of the stress and judgment, but Emily's sleep support has been just that—support!”

"Emily was a very supportive and understanding sleep consultant to work with. She adapted a plan that met our family's needs while also considering the necessary steps for us to achieve the desired changes. Her knowledge and accountability helped us follow through with the plan, and her input was invaluable for nights or days that didn't go as planned. With adjustments to the timing of bedtime and consistency in allowing our toddler to self-settle, he is now able to fall asleep on his own, usually within ten minutes. We highly recommend Emily to other families looking to improve their little one’s sleep."
7 month old
"Emily is supportive, caring, and extremely understanding. Our then-6-month-old was needing to be fed or patted to sleep, waking multiple times overnight, experiencing false starts, and taking short naps. Now, our 7-month-old self-settles for naps and bedtime, has only one or two easy wakes overnight, and is napping for age-appropriate times. Her very practical approach to sleep consulting has equipped our family to support our wee boy with his sleep long-term. We have routines and methods to implement no matter what sleep regressions he might experience in the future. Her approach also let us choose the type of settling method and routine, which I really appreciated. We felt understood in our needs for our baby’s sleep and were able to be flexible in our schedule to suit our lifestyle. Her communication was excellent; she checked in regularly and troubleshooted any issues we had. I definitely recommend Emily’s sleep consulting to any parents who want more sleep and a more settled routine for themselves and their little ones."
8 month old
"Our time spent working with Emily was one of the best things we've ever done. Before engaging with her, our 8-month-old daughter caused us so much stress and anxiety around sleep! She was catnapping throughout the day, and bedtimes were a nightmare with endless false starts and resettles. Often, we had to hold her asleep in our arms for hours, as she was untransferrable, and then deal with frequent and lengthy night wakes. Sleep was not a word we knew! Emily was thorough, and her support and investment in our journey were so tailored and relevant that, within days, we went from rocking and feeding our daughter to sleep to having her fall asleep in her cot on her own within minutes. We were gobsmacked! To say that Emily nailed the perfect plan for us would be a total understatement. Her support was unwavering, even when we threw many hurdles at her, like a trip out of town and engagements during nap times. Despite all this, Emily had an answer and a plan for every question. She made the process natural and easy, and she was our biggest cheerleader, which gave us more confidence with every step. We will forever be grateful to Emily for giving us the tools to get our sleep and our evenings back. She has truly changed our lives."

"Through Emily’s dedicated guidance and unwavering support in her sleep consultancy work, Ronin has made remarkable progress, transitioning from co-sleeping and frequent night wakings to sleeping independently and self-settling. This change has brought immense relief and peace of mind to our family.”
5 month old
"We reached out to Emily for help with our 5-month-old's self-settling and routine. Although we only worked with her for 5 days due to personal reasons, we saw significant improvements in our little one's sleep! She started settling herself for naps and overnight sleep. Emily was very supportive, replied to my questions promptly, and was lovely to work with! I’d recommend her to anyone whose little ones have sleep issues."
4 month old
"When we started with Emily, we were desperate for help as we were so sleep deprived. She gave us the confidence to put into practice some techniques that made the biggest difference! We were able to establish a routine that also had flexibility, and our wee man started making improvements in his sleeping from day one. We will be recommending her to others."
7.5 month old
"Our biggest objective in sleep training was to improve the quality and length of Cooper’s day naps. Cooper was a serial cat-napper, only sleeping for 20–40 minutes at a time unless he was being held or napping on the go. His naps also always seemed to coincide with other obligations, such as kindy drop-offs/pick-ups, so when he did nap at home, I would almost always have to disrupt his sleep. At the end of the day, he would be overtired and hard to settle at bedtime. Emily used her expert knowledge and holistic, gentle approach to formulate a sleep plan that works around our engagements while ensuring that Cooper is still having age-appropriate wake windows and long enough naps to get the restorative benefits of sleep. Cooper is now consistently taking two naps a day, including a 1.5–2.0 hour nap in the middle of the day, which has been transformative! It allows me some much-needed time to get things done or simply rest when I need it. Having this time to myself to ‘just be’ has been beneficial for the entire family, as my mood is greatly improved. Emily also navigated us through dropping the third nap, which has reduced our overnight wakes from two, sometimes three, down to one, meaning more quality sleep for me! She has given us the tools to adjust nap times when flexibility is required and to troubleshoot any future sleep issues that may arise as he continues to grow. Thank you, Emily, for your support and encouragement. We are truly grateful for the work you have done with us!"
