Lauren Wilkinson
Lauren has always had a passion for the early years. She has spent 17 years working in education and is a qualified primary school teacher. Lauren is a mummy to two young boys, and after experiencing countless sleepless nights and witnessing the magic of sleep coaches, it inspired her to become a sleep coach herself. She has also completed further training, so she can support children with Autism who are experiencing sleep challenges. She joined Huckleberry in 2024.
Lauren's Story
Why she became a sleep consultant
I am not embarrassed to admit, that when I had my eldest son, I just expected that he would sleep and it would all naturally fall into place. I quickly found out that for my son, this was not the case!
My son had reflux and sleep was a constant struggle. At 6 months old, I decided that it was time to get some support. I worked with a Sleep Coach and over the coming weeks his sleep was transformed! I didn’t hesitate to reach out for support again when I had my second child and was trying to balance the sleep needs of a newborn and a 21 month old.
When I was working on my boys’ sleep, I became more and more interested in the science behind it all and in the different ways we can support our children to get the rest they (and their parents) need.
When my youngest was 6 months old, I started my training to become a certified sleep coach and I have never looked back. I have also completed further training so I can provide sleep support to families with children with Autism.
"Supporting children and their families has always been one of my favourite parts of my teaching career and I realised I could use these skills to support families again, but this time with sleep! "
Over the years I have supported hundreds of families with children ranging from newborns to 10 years old, and since 2024 have been a proud member of the Huckleberry team!
How we work with families
Evidence-based, not trend-based
Plans are backed by science and support is adapted to your child. Every recommendation is rooted in peer-reviewed pediatric sleep research.
Flexible, family-centered methods
There's no single approach for sleep. Our consultants work with your parenting values and comfort level, so the plan feels just right.
Education over prescription
We help you understand the plan, not just follow it. You get the "why" behind each step, so you can respond with confidence.
