Samantha's Story
Why she became a sleep consultant
I developed an interest in baby and child sleep following the birth of my daughter and the challenges our family experienced with her sleep. With a background in psychology and a particular interest in child psychology, I took it upon myself to research the subject in depth while continuing to work as a flight attendant for British Airways.
After leaving a job I truly loved, I became a certified baby and child sleep consultant and discovered how much I enjoyed working one-to-one with families from all over the world.
"I find it incredibly rewarding to see the transformations in families' and babies' sleep."
Having gained such valuable experience, it has been a real pleasure to join the Huckleberry Sleep Consultancy community and continue supporting families alongside my one-to-one clients.
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.
