Good Sleepers - Family sleep consultant - Cambridge

Katerina C.

My name is Katerina and when I went to Isabelle, I could hardly remember even that. With two daughters within 20 months and neither of them being an easy sleeper in the last five years I had slept through the night less nights than I could count with my fingers. So when a friend of mine introduced me to Isabelle, I didn't hesitate for a moment and emailed her to get going. I had to wait for a month, but I promise you its worth the wait. My then 3.5 year old would sleep holding my hand and would wake at least 3 times every night with me going back and forth between her room and mine. After 4 weeks and only one teary evening, my daughter sleeps peacefully in her own bed until our alarm clock goes off the next morning. Isabelle is so knowledgeable, both in terms of sleep science but also parenting. She provided me with practical advice that met the needs of my child and my family, and even though the reason I went was sleep, she helped me across a number of development areas for both my daughters. Cause as she pointed out how your child operates during day is closely linked to how they sleep. So, thank you Isabelle, it was a pleasure and a privilege to have met you and you helped our family immensely.

Another amazing review for Isabelle! She made wonders with our family and the sleep of our 6 months old little girl! Not that the road to get there was easy, it was hard work and to be honest I almost gave up a few times. But Isabelle managed to find the right words to motivate us and take us one step further every week, and before we knew it a month and a half later our girl falls asleep by herself in her cot at every sleep, we have an established routine, she is in bed by 7:30 so we have our evenings back and she is starting to sleep through the night as well. As a first time mom, working with Isabelle also taught me how to be a better mom, how to trust my girl and her ability to learn new skills, and how to trust myself to help her learn. It does feel like working with Isabelle was a true turning point for us. So THANK YOU!! Another thing that I truly appreciated was how Isabelle is always available outside of the weekly appointments to provide extra guidance and support if needed, either by text or phone calls. I truly felt supported every step of the way and that's how we have managed to acheive what felt impossible a few weeks ago.

Isabelle provided invaluable support during a challenging time when our little one's sleep was impacting our life as a family. She took the time to learn about our family routine and tailored the approach to us, using her expertise. Rather than offering a quick fix, Isabelle guided us through a gradual, stepwise, and sustainable process that respected our baby’s capabilities. Nearly a year later, we’re happy to say her advice continues to benefit our family. We’re very grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her services.

Isabelle has totally transformed our experience of sleep with our toddler. Her approach is theory led and logical, and she helped us understand not only the dynamics of our parenting but what was getting in the way of good sleep happening. Isabelle listened really well to our experience, she was a very safe pair of hands without being judgemental. The weekly homework helped us all adjust at our own pace and we now have our evenings back with no broken nights, plus a happy and well rested child. We can see why she comes so highly recommended and feel fortunate to have found and worked with her. We couldn't recommend her highly enough! Thankyou, Isabelle!

I found Isabelle’s website in the middle of the night in deep despair whilst pleading with my very strong-willed 5-year old daughter to please just go to sleep, as I had been almost every night for months and months. I connected with the firm but compassionate and empathetic approach she promised.

I am so very grateful that Isabelle agreed to take us on. Now, 6 months later, our daughter sleeps independently through the night and can put herself back to bed if she needs to get up for any reason.

Although we saw changes in her behaviour almost immediately when we started working with Isabelle, it took a while to get here and it was hard work. Isabelle’s holistic approach relied on my husband and I learning more about ourselves as parents, what our strengths and weaknesses are and how to come together to parent our fiercely clever, determined, and testing little girl. It took a lot of patience.

But we got there and, most importantly, we did it through learning, understanding and implementing what we learned. There may well be quicker fixes out there, but I would absolutely make the same decision again. Thank you Isabelle!

Sleep is vulnerable, emotional and debilitating when you're not getting any. In 4.5 weeks of working with Isabelle we have gone from my baby only sleeping on me and breastfeeding to independently sleeping happily in her own cot, in her own room. It's unbelievable and we are very grateful 🙂

We have worked with Isabelle to sort out the sleep of both of our children. To say that she single-handedly saved our sanity is only a mild exaggeration.

Isabelle's approach has always struck us as the ideal balance between data-driven facts and personalised empathy; we felt in the perfect hands from our first meeting in 2018 and have recommended her to all of our friends since. When our second child turned out to not be amenable to what we had thought "should work" after the experience with child No. 1, we returned to her for help, despite having moved countries. Over the course of a few online meetings she guided us towards a good-night's sleep for everyone, after almost two years of being sleep-deprived zombies. We could have never imagined that two children in the same family could be so different in their sleep needs. But Isabelle, with her experience and ability to assess our situation even remotely, had us set on a success course in no time. And we have been well rested ever since.

If you are looking for someone to help you and your child with their sleep, please look no further.

Isabelle's expertise in this area is truly unparalleled. In my opinion, she's the best you'll find.

For years, I was extremely concerned with my daughter’s sleeping habits and the impact it was having on my wife. She was sleep-deprived, constantly exhausted and spending long nights on our daughter’s bedroom floor.

The situation got so bad that despite wanting the best for our child, my wife and I no longer agreed on the best course of action.

Isabelle not only listened and presented us with a clear, actionable plan, but she also helped us understand the underlying reasons for our daughter's behaviour.

This new understanding, alongside Isabelle's guidance, restored unity and hope to our family, giving us a renewed sense of optimism.

Isabelle’s plan, our understanding of the root causes, and our renewed optimism were three absolutely essential parts of helping our daughter change her sleeping habits and helping us understand each other’s concerns.

I honestly wish there was an "Isabelle" for every challenge in life. I’ll be forever grateful to her.
