Unless you have lived, breathed and trudged through the daily grind of being a parent to babies or kids who don’t sleep, it’s hard to understand how debilitating, disorientating and destructive severe sleep deprivation can be.
Being a new parent or a mum with a toddler and or a baby AND being sleep deprived seems cruel and is utterly EXHAUSTING! Even the most simple daily tasks seem to take forever. Every day you just try to do your best. You’re told to follow your instinct, but you’re so confused and tired that you don’t know what your instinct is telling you. So you google the shit out of “How to get your baby to sleep”, only to come away with more questions and guilt than answers. All you want is to get your baby to sleep WITHOUT pulling your hair out or them crying their eyes out!⠀
I HEAR YOU, MUMMA. And that’s why I do what I do and why I LOVE HELPING MUMS, DADS and families.
I have been working with families for over 22 years and Established Lullababy SOS when I move to the Gold Coast in 2007. Since then, I have helped over 18,000 families globally with the LULLABABY SOS PROGRAM, and I would love to help YOU.
The LULLABABY SOS PROGRAM is a game-changer. It’s not for everyone, but it may be right for you.
This program wasn’t created on the back of being a mum who had a bad sleeper, although I have spent thousands of nights awake, supporting these mums and babies through the fog of sleep struggles. Lullababy SOS was created because supporting parents in teaching their babies how to sleep came easily to me. (see my full bio)
Learning how sleep is a skill that needs to be supported, practised and encouraged CONSISTENTLY and progressively as your child grows.
How you support a 3-month-old is very different to how you support a 13-month-old.
Let LULLABABY SOS take the guesswork out of it for you. ⠀⠀
If you want to know:⠀
THEN LISTEN UP!
There’s never been a better time to jump straight in! So if you’re ready for a more predictable routine, to gain your confidence in your parenting and want to use PROVEN, gentle, adaptable and effective ways to give you AND YOUR BABY a better night’s sleep AND a daily routine that can be adapted to YOUR family and lifestyle, then take action now
CLEARING THE FOG WILL MEAN THAT YOU CAN START TO FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS. If you’re considering it, NOW IS THE TIME

I have been meaning to leave you a 5 Star review because I have wanted to share with you how much you have changed our lives! I haven’t needed to contact you since our first meeting because your methods are so unbelievably flawless that our baby started sleeping through the night nearly straight away!! I couldn’t recommend you enough! I will tell every sleep deprived mother I ever meet about you. I honestly believe you should charge more for your services. We had to rock our 10 month old baby asleep in our arms for her to go to sleep and she was not having consistent naps in the day. She was waking multiple times through the night and staying awake for hours during the night and then waking up for the day at 4 am. My partner and I were struggling terribly with sleep deprivation I didn’t know how we could possibly keep living this way. We were a mess! We hadn’t had a full nights sleep in 10 months and the wake ups were getting worse! I found you on google after a terrible night, desperate to try anything. Literally after following your routine for 24 hours our daughter started sleeping through the whole night! 6:45pm - 6am every night since!! She even puts herself back to sleep on her random wake ups without crying out for us she is so calm and happy being in her cott she knows it’s a safe place. We can literally put her in the cott and walk away. I never thought I’d see the day. Thank you for literally changing our lives, every morning we wake up so thankful and well rested 🙏🏼 thank you again!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Felicity2024-08-26I was really struggling with my six month old baby’s sleep, both during the day and night. He went from being a great sleeper as a newborn to a baby that had to be held for every daytime nap and he started to wake up many times throughout the night. I was physically and mentally exhausted, as was my little baby. Neither of us were getting enough good quality sleep. I was desperate for help but I was afraid of being taken advantage of by an unqualified “sleep coach”. That’s when a family friend of mine who had received help from Elaine eight years ago recommended Lullaby SOS to me. Elaine did an overnight stay with me and my baby and taught me some simple but seriously effective techniques to help my little one sleep on his own in his own. I am not comfortable with the “cry it out” method, so Elaine’s gentle approach, which was very supportive of my baby, suited us perfectly. I can’t recommend Elaine highly enough. She has EXTENSIVE experience with thousands of different babies. She tailored a routine and settling approach to specifically meet the needs of me and my baby. I felt so supported during the overnight stay and during the following three weeks. If you are struggling with your little one’s sleep please know that Elaine is highly experienced, very capable and trustworthy.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.peta leddy2024-06-12We are currently on night 10. And I haven’t had this much sleep since before I was pregnant!!! My LO is killing it. We are so proud of him. This has been an absolute game changer for the whole household. Everyone is happier. The advice, support, techniques Elaine has provided are PRICELESS!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.XS Bennetts Green2024-05-21I can’t think about anything less than 5 stars to Elaine and her unbelievable knowledge and experience. I’m so glad she crossed paths with me and my family no only because I could see the differences in the first night but also because I was so confident with her support and professionalism. Thank you a million times Elaine!

Something I never thought would happen as we were at our wits end and so sleep deprived. Our friend recommended Elaine and could not speak highly enough of her. This was money well spent and only wished I had done it earlier ! Thank you Elaine for providing us the tools and education for our little one.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Shari cassimatis2024-02-01Kicking myself for not doing this sooner! A gentle and customisable approach. Thank you!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Monique L2024-01-29Amazing! Our family has worked with Elaine for both my daughter and then son and had amazing results with both. Elaine gave us a routine with information and support in helping us guide our little one's in sleep and we have never looked back. We always have and always will recommend Elaine to our friends and family for their little ones.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Alena2024-01-20DisappointingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Zoe Horder2024-01-17Didn’t work for us unfortunately.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Nikki Beech2023-12-21Elaine is some sort of sleep magician! She has helped both my kids sleep better over the years and it always blows my mind that she knows the answers (she's magical I swear). Elaine is also really lovely and non-judgemental about the crazy ways we've tried to get our kids to sleep better. She's very friendly and easy to talk to 🙂 Thank you for everything Elaine, you're the best and I recommend you to every mum struggling with sleep. I'd give you a 1000 stars if I could!!! xx

It's been around two months since our first appointment, and we still can't believe how much easier our life has become. Our daughter still experiences some sleep issues now and then (teething, etc.), but we know what to do, and it helps tremendously. Now, my husband and I don't argue about who will put our daughter to sleep—it has become effortless. Also, she couldn't sleep on her stomach after we transitioned her from the Snoo to the cot. Elaine's advice changed that in just one day! By the following night, she was sleeping through, waking only once for feeding. Very happy!!!recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.Kim Felsman2023-08-11Elaine is an absolute sleep superstar! 🌟 I have known Elaine just on 13 years now, when my first baby was born. As a sleep deprived new mum, Elaine was so caring & genuinely concerned for us & so gave us the continual support we much needed. Having her come into our home & educate us on sleep, then implement ways to achieve it - gave us so much confidence (& most importantly some shut-eye! 😴). She has seen us through nearly every developmental stage & is now supporting me again with my recent baby (as they were so different!). Each time I contact Elaine for either hands-on or phone advice, I wish I had done it sooner 🙃 as the results are immediate! You are an angel Elaine 💜recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.Cara BaxMac2022-12-29Elaine is so incredibly knowledgeable! Our 18m/o was randomly screaming out throughout the night, not needing anything but was just enough to wake us up (2-6 times). Elaine gave us a super simple schedule to follow that stopped her from getting too overtired and the scream-outs stopped. We're all SO much happier when we get a full nights sleep.. the world is a much better place, haha! Worth her weight in gold, Elaine is marvellous!! So grateful, thankYou 🧡recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.Cristy Ross2022-10-19Elaine is a life saver. A true sleep angel. We had no confidence in what we were doing prior to our session with Elaine. Post session we had a plan, we were confident in implementing it and now our bub sleeps between 9 - 11 hours per night. And he’s a super happy little man. Thanks Elaine.recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.Sian Thompson2022-03-03Elaine is the best decision we ever made! She helped us when our son was 6 months old (giving up the dummy and learning to self-settle) and then again when he was 4 years old (coming into our room 10 times a night). She has a wonderful and positive approach to sleep training. You feel completely supported through the whole process and the best part is - IT WORKS!!! I have been able to apply Elaine's techniques to our younger daughter too meaning that everyone is the house is sleeping through the night.recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.Nastassia Tognini2021-06-22Working with Elaine has been life changing!! We started working with Elaine when our little one was 5 months old and the only way we could get her to sleep was feeding to sleep, which some nights would take 2 hours at the beginning of the night and 2 hours overnight. Within a few days of implementing Elaine's methods, our little one learnt to self settle for both her daytime and bedtime naps and only wakes once for a feed overnight. She has gone from only having 40 minute daytime naps (mostly on mum) to consistently having 2 x 2 hour naps in the cot. Elaine gave us the tools, confidence and encouragement to teach our baby how to sleep. Her routine is gentle, yet effective and at no time did I feel like I was abandoning our baby - in fact, I feel she cries less using Elaine's methods than before. Our baby is happier and more alert during her wake time. I could not recommend Elaine enough and will definitely be reaching out to her before we have baby #2.recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.Katie Reed2021-04-05Our little boy always slept well until he turned two! one hour consult is all we needed and after day/night one, Miller was sleeping through again. today marks one week since our consult and Miller will not only sleep through, but stays in his bed happily chatting to himself until we get him out of his big boy bed. Elaine really is amazing. She knows the simplest but most effective techniques to get sleep back on track fast. couldn't recommend her enough.recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.Victoria Peterman2020-11-14Need that affirmation that you’re doing ok? Need that assurance that you’re doing a good job? Well Elaine was that for me. My son has been a good sleeper but we were just struggling with transitioning from 2 sleeps to 1. Doing the 30 min zoom call routine consult was a great option and would recommend to anyone needing help with this transition. Wake ups are getting better, day sleep is getting longer and bedtime is getting quicker.recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.Rebecca Wood2020-11-02Since the 4 month sleep regression my baby was waking anywhere between 4 and 10 times a night. I was absolutely exhausted and constantly just fed her back to sleep just to get myself a little bit more sleep. In the day times she would be very inconsistent and sometimes would go into her cot with no crying and sleep for 2 hours and other times would scream and sleep for 30 minutes. After 2 days of following Elaine’s routine, Myla has been doing all of her day naps with pretty much no crying at all, self soothes 99% of the time and has been only waking once for a night feed. She was already a happy baby on no sleep but now she’s even happier. My friend’s said I should have done this sooner and I definitely should have.recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.Morgan Guerra2020-10-07My daughter, Stevie, has always been a terrible sleeper overnight, however, I have always put off getting a sleep consultant putting it down to teeth, leaps, too hot/cold, noise etc waking her plus I had done so much research, followed other sleep programs and thought I knew everything I needed to know for sleep training and accepted that we just had a little one who didn’t like to sleep! At 18 mo, in the middle of a rough night, I finally decided to book Elaine who had been highly recommended to me. Although Stevie’s sleep had improved and she would sleep through some nights, when she did happen to wake, it would take 2 hours sometimes of lying on the floor holding her hand through the cot back to sleep, sometimes multiple times a night. In addition to this, we would always have to hold her hand for 20-40 mins to get her to sleep at the start of the night, every night. After only 3 nights of following Elaine’s recommendations, we were able to put Stevie in the cot and walk out for her to settle herself to sleep. Bar one night which was a quick resettle, Stevie has slept right through the night every night since!! That was 5 weeks ago!!!! I am blown away to be honest….. that’s all I can say. Best investment we made for our family and cannot recommend Elaine more highly. Don’t put it off and book Elaine in!! Now to deal with my husbands snoring waking me…..
