Hi, I'm Sofiya
A mother.
A Gentle & holistic sleep coach.
A breastfeeding peer supporter.
I’m here for the parent lying awake at 2am, wondering what they’re doing wrong.
For the one who feels they are constantly bouncing, feeding, rocking their baby to sleep, hoping for just a little rest.
And for the one who knows their child needs closeness, but quietly wonders how much longer they can keep going like this.
I’m not here to “fix” your child.
I’m here to help you understand them better and to walk with you, gently, toward more rest, connection, and confidence.
Because your child’s sleep isn’t a problem to solve.
It’s a relationship to nurture.
Ready to get more rest?
Rooted in Connection,
Not in Control
A different kind of sleep support
What if you didn’t have to choose between your baby’s needs and your own?
What if improving sleep felt more like deepening trust than “fixing” behaviour?
That’s the kind of support I offer.
❌ No rigid methods
❌ No “cry-it-out”
❌ No pressure to stop breastfeeding, bedsharing, or doing what feels right for you
Take a look at my gentle and compassionate approach to sleep to see if we are a good fit to work together.
Are you currently...?

Overwheled by conflicting advice and not sure what would work best for you child?

You felt calm, confident, and empowered to navigate sleep challanges now and in the future?
-
You started to feel like yourself again, having the time and energy to do something just for YOU?
How would it feel if..?

Common sleep struggles I can
support you with
Frequent night waking
Your little one is waking often through the night, and you're feeling exhausted and unsure what's normal or how to respond. I’ll help you understand why night wakes happen, what’s developmentally typical, and how to gently support more restful sleep without compromising connection.
False starts at bedtime
Your baby falls asleep, only to wake 20-40 minutes later like bedtime never happened. Together we’ll uncover what might be contributing - whether it's timing, transitions, or something else - and find a gentle way forward.
Bedtime battles and resistance
Your child resists sleep with everything they’ve got—stalls, tears, or meltdowns. We'll look at what’s underneath the resistance and how to create a more connected, less stressful bedtime rhythm.
Early rising
5am wake-ups? Earlier? I’ll help you explore why your child is waking with the birds and how to gently nudge mornings later - while respecting their unique sleep needs.
Moving away from co-sleeping
Maybe co-sleeping has served your family beautifully- but now it's starting to feel less sustainable.
Whatever your reason, deciding to move away from co-sleeping can be a tender and complex choice. I’m here to help you navigate that shift with compassion, respect, and a pace that honors both your child’s need for closeness and your need for rest.
Making changes to how your baby falls asleep
You're ready to change the way your baby or toddler falls asleep - maybe you're currently feeding, rocking, or lying next to them every night - and it no longer feels sustainable.
But you want to do this in a way that still honors your child’s need for closeness and security.
Difficult naps
Your baby resists naps, or only sleeps for short stretches - leaving you both feeling frustrated. You’ve tried calming routines, quiet rooms, long walks… but settling for naps still feels like a battle.
Whether you’re in the thick of a nap transition or just trying to make naps feel a little less stressful, I’m here for you.
Only one caregiver can settle
Your child strongly prefers one caregiver for sleep, and that’s leaving someone burned out (and someone else feeling left out)? I help families gradually introduce an additional settler in a way that feels safe and supportive.
Choose your compassionate support
For caregivers ready to cut through the noise and get clear, science-based answers about sleep - with a focus on what’s developmentally normal, responsive, and right for your child.
Join a supportive, judgment-free space where you'll learn what truly matters when it comes to infant sleep. Grounded in evidence and empathy, these workshops offer practical tools, fresh perspective, and the confidence to make informed decisions - all without pressure or prescriptive rules.
For when you’re feeling unsure and need expert eyes on your little one’s sleep - your chance to get thoughtful, evidence-based guidance.
Whether you're after a one-off clarity call to untangle a tricky sleep phase, or more in-depth support with a personalised plan and follow-up guidance, this service meets you where you’re at. You’ll receive calm, compassionate insight tailored to your baby - no quick fixes, just responsive support that helps you feel confident in your next steps.
Not quite sure what would be most helpful to you right now? That’s totally okay. I’m here if you’d like to chat - we can figure it out together, no pressure!
Kalia, mum of 9 months old Dimitris who was only able to nap in his stroller, and was also struggling to fall asleep in his cot at night.
"With Sofiya's help, we were able to get our little one to sleep peacefully during all naps, without needing to be rocked in the stroller. At night, he now falls asleep in his crib by himself, simply with our presence in the room. Sofiya also explained what normal sleep patterns were for a child of that age, which gave us so much reassurance and confidence that we weren’t doing anything wrong.
We are deeply grateful for her support and guidance! Thank you so much!"
It’s an honor to walk alongside families on their sleep journey.
