Uncover what’s really beneath your child’s sleep struggles.
Root-cause, holistic, neuro-affirming sleep support that sees the whole child.
For families who need more than standard advice.
Because sleep is about so much more than sleep
You’ve tried the routines. The sleep cues. The calming tricks.
But your child is still wakeful, and you're still exhausted.
If you’ve ever felt like something deeper is going on, you’re right.
I don’t offer sleep training, sticker charts, or schedules.
I offer root-cause sleep support that honours the whole child — their nervous system, sensory world, nourishment, rhythms, and need for connection.
I specialise in working with sensitive and neurodivergent children of all ages, and with families who are tired of advice that doesn’t fit their child.
You don’t need more hacks or fixes. You need to be truly seen.
This is gentle, neuro-affirming support that meets your child where they are, with insight and guidance that honours your whole family.
Because your child isn’t broken. And sleep isn’t just a behaviour.
Parent testimonial
‘We first came to Kara because we needed help transitioning a co-sleeping toddler who woke often into his own room and help with night-weaning. We had been trying on our own for months and sleep seemed to be getting worse not better! A few months later and he now is completely weaned, sleeps in his own room and more often than not, sleeps through the night!
What I loved about Kara’s approach was that it was gentle with no harsh ‘cry-it-out’ methods. She took time to get to know us as parents and our child’s personality and habits to tailor suggestions and plans to our circumstances and parenting-style.
I could not recommend Kara or her services highly enough- so happy we found her!’

Hi, I’m Kara
I’m a neurodivergent mama, trauma-informed practitioner, and a ‘sleep detective’ — skilled at uncovering the hidden reasons behind sleep struggles in sensitive and neurodivergent children.
Sleep can be harder for some children — especially those with neurodivergent brains, sensory processing differences, or anxiety. When sleep is disrupted, it can increase sensory overload and make regulation even more challenging.
With over 25 years of experience working with children and families, a background in psychology, and currently studying counselling, I offer compassionate, root-cause sleep support that honours the whole child — their nervous system, sensory needs, and wellbeing.
You know your child best. I’m here to help you understand them more deeply, so rest can become a reality for your whole family.
