About me

I’m Linda!

I am the founder of The Sweetest Sleeper and a certified sleep consultant. I am a mum of two and have a passion for all things baby and sleep related.

As with most parents, navigating those early months and years of our children’s lives are the happiest and often the most challenging of times. My first son, Cormac, didn’t need much help with settling into a routine and developed healthy sleep habits relatively easily. He seemed to love sleep as much as his dad and I did. My second child, however, put me to the parenting challenge!

My daughter Laoise was born before her due date and was a very fussy newborn, often crying for hours on end and for no reason. The long bouts of crying eventually passed; however, the sleep habits she had picked up during this time did not. She didn’t sleep well at night or during the day, she needed a lot of help getting to sleep and lacked any sort of consistency. This became problematic for me because I had returned to work when she was just 12 weeks old and I was exhausted! I knew I had to do something, so I set out to improve her sleep.

When doing so, I never anticipated the amount of conflicting advice I would read, and how difficult it would be to know what to believe and where to look for support. Juggling two small children and a full-time job, all while being sleep deprived, is a time in my life I will never forget.

Once I started researching sleep training and sought the right advice, I was hooked! I remember the exact moment I realised that I could help Laoise sleep better and that things didn’t have to be this way. That was when it all changed for me; I instantly knew I wanted to help other families who faced similar challenges, so I began training to become a Sleep Sense qualified sleep consultant under the inspiring mentorship of Dana Obelman and never looked back!

The Sweetest Sleeper Services

My goal as a sleep consultant is to help parents understand the importance of sleep as well as guide them in teaching their child positive sleep habits. This involves one-to-one coaching on all aspects related to your child’s sleep and daily routine, as well as creating a bespoke sleep plan which is reflective of the individual needs of both the child and parents to ensure the best possible approach and outcome for everyone.

It is my firm belief that the development of healthy sleep habits should be considered as important as ensuring our children develop healthy eating habits. Sleep is a necessity for human survival and getting enough sleep is vital to the body’s development and restoration. I have seen firsthand the difference it can make for not only the child, but for everyone in the family when sleep is given priority.

Why choose The Sweetest Sleeper?

It is my goal to achieve success with each and every parent that seeks my help. There is nothing more important to me than my children (and my sleep!) and I understand what it is like to navigate parenthood, sometimes feeling overwhelmed and uncertain. I also know that there is a lot information regarding parenting out there, not to mention the plethora of advice that comes from well-intentioned family members and friends, making it nearly impossible to know what is right for you and your child. Not only do I offer proven gentle solutions to your child’s sleep problems, I also provide in-person and real time support. Supporting parents while they support their child is what I do best!

We were exhausted when a friend recommended Linda to help us with our youngest child’s sleep!

We were exhausted when a friend recommended Linda to help us with our youngest child’s sleep, he was 7 months at the time and was waking up every hour and a half at night and had very short naps in the day, we thought we would never sleep again. After a few days we saw

I could not recommend the newborn service more.

My son Ben has just turned 18 weeks old, and as a first-time parent it has certainly been a roller-coaster.  Going through such a huge life change, one of my biggest fears was Ben would form bad sleep habits. Luckily, Linda was on hand to offer much needed insight, advice and continued support from week

Ciara, mum to Ben

My husband & I began working with Linda when we were at our wits end with our two year son.

From when he was 18mths, hiss sleep began to deteriorate to a point where he refused to sleep in his cot so we had to move him into a bed. From here he developed bad habits, like one of us having to stay in the room with him until he fell asleep (which could take

We reached out to Linda when our 2.5 year old was waking early and fighting naps.

Our goal was to get her to nap consistently if possible. Linda gave us so many tools and suggestions to get her sleeping well, as it turned out she was dropping her naps. However, Linda still helped us in achieving full night sleep, eliminated early waking and taught us to offer naps when needed which

Wish we called Linda sooner!!

I was worried about going back to work and all the changes we would have to make and stressing over the lack of sleep. We got recommended Linda from a friend and i only wish we contacted her earlier. Linda was so approachable, easy to chat to and nonjudgmental. The support Linda provided with daily

The best decision we ever made!

We reached out to Linda for help and support with transitioning our 15-month-old baby girl Fiadh into her own room and cot from our bed. It was the best decision we ever made. Thanks to Linda’s expert advice and support we now have our evenings back and our little girl sleeps happily and cosily in

I will definitely be recommending her!

We were literally at our wits end. Our little one was awake every few hours crying for us and the only thing that would help settle her was rocking (could range from ten minutes to an hour) or getting into bed with us. She also wouldn’t sleep until we went to bed which meant we

We’re only sorry we didn’t come to her sooner!

Before we started working with Linda, our two-year-old was being fed to sleep, had multiple wake ups, and always ended up in our bed. After a week or so he was going to sleep independently in his own bed. Most importantly to us, this was achieved with minimal upset. Linda had us prepare him very

Highly Recommended!

When I think of where we were before we enlisted Linda’s help and how far we’ve come, it’s hard to believe how much progress the girls have made in a relatively short space of time. Before Linda’s help, we were making all the big mistakes many tired parents make leading to bad sleep habits …

I cannot recommend The Sweetest Sleeper enough.

My 7-month-old used to wake every 2-3 hours and was fed back to sleep. By the second night in sleep training he no longer needed a bottle to go back to sleep, and by the third night, he slept his first whole night. Both me and baby are so much happier as we are both

Marian

I sought Linda’s help when my son was just 6 weeks old.

I found he wasn’t sleeping for long during the day, sometimes he would wake after 20 minutes and would only sleep in my arms, which wasn’t a habit I could maintain. Since starting Linda’s newborn support plan, I have learned so much and received amazing advice and support. It’s made life as a new mam
