I know what it feels like to be surviving on no sleep. I've been there, and I want to help you through it.

Hi, I'm Abi. I'm 29, married, a mum of two little ones aged four and five, and I grew up on a farm in the Kent countryside. Little Willow is named after our beautiful Family farm. I'm a Level 6 OCN qualified infant sleep consultant. I did my training with the Lindsay Hookway Hollistic Sleep Coaching Programme.

But before any of that, I was just a very tired mum at the end of her rope!

My story

When my youngest was eight months old, I was up every thirty minutes through the night, feeding to sleep every single time. I was exhausted, touched out, and completely stuck in a cycle I didn’t know how to break. My anxiety spiralled and I struggled to leave the house. I reached out to a sleep trainer and it changed everything, not just my baby’s sleep, but my mental health, my relationship, and how I felt about motherhood. I was told not to feed to sleep anymore, and whilst part of me felt ready to let my breastfeeding journey go, I really struggled to come to terms with it.

It worked, but it came at a cost I wasn’t prepared for. Now, nobody I work with is told they have to give something up before they’re ready.

Why I trained

I wanted to be able to do for other families what had been done for mine, but I also wanted to do it properly. I trained at the highest level so that every family I work with gets genuine expertise, not guesswork. I chose the Lyndsey Hookway programme specifically because of its holistic, attachment-led values. It reflects exactly how I believe sleep support should be done.

Responsive doesn't mean resigned

You can hold your baby's need for closeness and still want more sleep. Those two things are not in competition, and anyone who tells you that you have to pick one hasn't looked at your family properly.

My job is to work out what's actually driving the wakings, and then build something around it that you can genuinely keep up at 3am. Nothing I suggest will ask you to override your instincts.
