Outside of sleep support, I’m just Katie - boy mum, caramel latte addict, and firm believer that naps should be for grown-ups too! You’ll usually find me running around after my son, Mason, enjoying long walks with my cocker spaniel Ember, or winding down for a cosy evening with my kindle once bedtime finally rolls around.

Professionally, I’ve worked in Early Years Education for my entire working life; in both state and independent schools and settings, and also as a private Nanny.

Parenthood has been the most rewarding and challenging adventure for me, and it’s given me such an appreciation for the little things - like drinking a hot drink while it’s still hot (!), an early night, or ten quiet minutes to myself.

Mason suffered with silent reflux which became so severe that it resulted in a feeding aversion and poor weight gain. I remember struggling so much between the lack of sleep, the feeding issues, and trying to heal from a problematic birth; it was unsurprising that before long, I found myself in the throws of postnatal depression.

After I sought the help of a sleep consultant 6.5 months into my parenting journey, I finally felt I had a glimmer of my former self back. With the new found reliability of my son’s sleep, I started to get the rest I so desperately needed.

My own experience cemented in my mind that it’s true what they say - it really does take a village. I feel so grateful that through The Rest Assured Club I get to be part of that village for other families; I will be in your corner, cheering you on all the way!
