Parenting can be overwhelming, but you are never alone.
Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed with understanding your baby's needs? Do you sometimes feel like you're the only parent who doesn't quite get why your baby is crying or unsettled? Is it a struggle to find a settling technique that feels safe for you and your baby during daytime naps? Have you been trying to find answers in all the articles and posts online, but it's only left you feeling more overwhelmed? You don't have to go through this alone. Let's work together to find a way to support you and your baby.
As a mother of a now university student, I completely understand what you're going through. I remember those moments of feeling overwhelmed, confused, and exhausted with a newborn in my arms. But through experience, I have learned that the key to being a healthy parent starts with getting sufficient sleep. However, it doesn't just end there.
I believe that every problem has a solution, which is why I am here to help you with every challenge that comes with parenthood. Let's work together to make your journey as a new parent a little easier!
"Every child is unique, and their sleep is no exception. With my guidance, you can finally understand and work with your child’s sleep personality, bringing peace and tranquillity to your home"
After the birth of your baby one of the biggest adaptations you have to make is to adjust your life according to the sleep patterns of your newborn. Most parents expect to have interrupted sleep for a short while, but when this occurs regularly for an extended period, sleep deprivation can take its toll on relationships with partners, family and friends.
You knew that having a baby would change your sleeping routine, but it can be hard to really understand it until you are a new parent. While young babies spend most of their day sleeping, they sleep for small windows of time. This means that you are also waking up frequently to care for them—and it is exhausting and overwhelming.
From the stress of a baby dealing with reflux or colic, to the pressure we feel to get our babies to sleep through the night, navigating the challenges of baby sleep is tough—really tough.

I love to help people and am very driven. My objective is to make a difference in the lives of others through mentoring and assisting them in their journey as parents or caregivers. I see myself as a facilitator of change, a coach to the success of those that come to me for assistance when it comes to Early Childhood Development.
The Pikanini Brand has become a recognized and trusted source that promises expert, professional advice and services in the early childhood development field. We believe in a multi-professional & holistic approach and combine years of experience and knowledge gained in the fields of social work, play therapy and early childhood development.
My approach when working with families here in South Africa and abroad is to work in conjunction with you, the parents, to pair my expertise and knowledge as a qualified child sleep consultant with your parenting style.
Should you wish to book a sleep package, I will request that you fill out a sleep client questionnaire and 2-day diary. This will enable me to gather all the information I need for a detailed sleep analysis. I will create a bespoke sleep plan which will detail your family’s path to getting a good night’s sleep. Consultations are either private home based or held via zoom so you can log in from home or office. Daily support via the method of your choice will then begin to ensure sleep success. My support is compassionate and non-judgmental throughout our support period.
When parents are committed to achieving sleep success, through whichever sleep training method works for their family, I will be there to guide them every step of the way. My personal touch and full support as a sleep consultant results in the families I work with recommending me to other parents who are also struggling. So many families around the world are sleeping better because of the decision they made to ask for help. Most of my clients are by word of mouth due to families being so happy with the service.
