Katelin Williams
Certified Infant and Child Sleep Consultant
Hi there,
I'm Katelin and I live in Brisbane Australia with my wonderful husband and 3 gorgeous boys who are aged 7, 5 and 1. My professional background is Primary School teaching (specialising in Early Childhood) and have been in the teaching space for 13 years. I have loved every minute of building positive relationships with my students while fostering their learning and development along the way.
I am so passionate about making a difference in children's lives, that when my own children came into the world, it was the biggest blessing I could ever ask for. Except when it came to sleep. It was a complete shock to both my husband and I when my eldest son was 2 weeks old and he would just be awake crying all night and we had no idea what we were doing. In those overwhelming moments, I realised that I knew nothing about how babies sleep, how much sleep they need and had never even heard of the term 'wake window' before. I was so focussed on just surviving labour and giving birth that I didn't think to educate myself on anything else like sleep, once he actually arrived. The next day I purchased an infant sleep program and it changed my life (in the best way possible) forever.
Fast forward to 1 month down the track and I finally understood the science behind infant sleep, how to create the perfect sleep environment and settling techniques which improved my son's sleep dramatically . Most importantly though, I was SLEEPING too and I transformed back into the happy, bubbly person I once was who was now confidently able to leave the house with my baby knowing I had all the necessary procedures in place that supported his sleep.
From my own experience, I have witnessed first hand just how life changing and valuable it is to educate yourself on how to support your baby's sleep and what they need to achieve calm, peaceful nights and well rested, happy days. My approach is gentle, kind and empathetic in providing you with the most individualised solutions to help your little one sleep peacefully, while also making a positive difference in your life too.
