Answer a few questions and I’ll point you to the most likely root cause (routine, sleep pressure, associations, boundaries, anxiety, environment) plus your next best steps.
My approach- (gentle, evidence-based, no cry-it-out)
Sleep affects behaviour, learning, mood and family wellbeing,but most parents are drowning in conflicting advice.
I use child development, responsive settling strategies and clear routines to improve sleep with minimal distress. No rigid one-size-fits-all plans. Just what works for your child and your family.
Kath Garwood- about me
I’m Kath Garwood, Certified Sleep Nanny® and early years specialist with 20+ years’ experience supporting children from newborn to pre-teens. I’ve helped over 1,000 families improve sleep, and I also support and train sleep nannies at Sleep Nanny HQ.
My work is gentle, evidence-based and tailored, so you get results without cry-it-out.
I have had several roles over the years including behaviour management and nursery manager. I use my knowledge of childhood development alongside my additional studies into mindfulness and positive psychology to support families with a gentle approach to sleep training.
Bringing a combination of science and soul to each case. I know first-hand how difficult life is when you are sleep deprived as I was there with my own daughter too.
My mission is to make parents feel confident in what they are doing long-term so that sleep does not become a constant battle in your home.

Testimonials
Results from families I’ve supported
From dummy and swaddle removal to toddler boundary-setting and older child bedtime anxiety, these are real outcomes from gentle, tailored plans.
We call Kath the sleep wizard in our family…
She always knows exactly what changes to make (however big or small) to get our babies sleeping better!! I couldn’t recommend her more highly. After working with Kath for our first child, we knew we would want to work with her again for our second child. This time we worked with Kath to help our 5 month old learn to self settle, get rid of the dummy and swaddle, establish a good nap routine, and get him sleeping through the night. Kath is so incredible and it was amazing to work with her again. Kath always takes the time to get to know our baby and their individual needs. Kath’s calm and informative manner gives you so much trust in the process and as a result we were able to achieve all of our objectives. Kath was always on hand to answer our questions and help us make changes in real time so we could see what worked best for our baby. You can really tell that Kath cares about her clients and that translates into the time she takes to help you and the advice she gives you. Once again we are so pleased and truly loved working with Kath! We will definitely be using Kath for any future babies!!
Kath is truly amazing!
We felt so lucky to be recommended her by a friend. It got to the point we were dreading bed time with our 7 year old every single night as he always prolonged everything and never settled well. At times he wasn’t asleep until 10pm and he would be up and down stairs,getting upset and needing one of us to stay with him until that time. It was a nightmare.
Kath has turned our lives around. Not only has she got him asleep by 7.30-7.40pm every night, she’s also got him sleeping longer in the morning too! She has spent so much time setting a new sleep plan tailored just for him as well as keeping in touch regularly (with us, and our son!) to see how things are going and to make any necessary changes. Kath was available to answer questions any time and always got back to me very quickly with answers! We are absolutely amazed and thrilled to have our evenings back and seeing our son less tired has meant his mood is much better during the day too! We cannot recommend Kath highly enough. It’s been great having her involved!
Best Thing We Ever Did For Our Baby!
Kath has been absolutely amazing. With her support we managed get our 18 month old to sleep in her own cot throughout the night. Prior to this our little one hated her cot, she would only sleep, if rocked or cuddled and co-slept most nights. She was always restless and wake lots during the night leading to little or no sleep for everyone involved.
Kath prepared a two week sleep plan which suited our needs and parenting style. In the middle of our sleep plan, our little one was poorly with teething and a tummy bug, Kath was able to troubleshoot to avoid us returning to bad habits and got us back on track. We were grateful for her ongoing support.
We were relieved that Kath didn't use a 'cry it out' method and were surprised at how quickly our little one took to the gentle sleeping plan devised by Kath. A month on and our little girl now enjoys sleeping in her cot and is able to self-sooth when she wakes up at night. She wakes up happy and refreshed, and so do we! We never thought this would be possible.
Thank you Kath, you've changed our lives!

Emily has been a real life saver.
Emily has been a real life saver. My twin boys’ sleep had got really bad, they were waking up to 11 times a night each and not at the same time. By the end of our two weeks working together they were waking 1-2 times and often at the same time. We are now out of survival mode and life is so different, so much nicer!

Emily has equipped us with the tools to adapt Olivia’s sleep plan as she gets older.
Emily was fantastic from the start, it was very much a two way conversation and personalised to our family. Over the course of the two weeks, Olivia’s sleep progressively improved and she is now consistently sleeping through the night. Emily has equipped us with the tools to adapt Olivia’s sleep plan as she gets older.
