Mindful Mum - Sleep Consultant Reviews

Jodie was absolutely incredible - she helped us take our 7 month old son from waking every 2 hours overnight to learning how to self-settle and either sleeping through the night or only waking one time. Her gentle approach worked more effectively than I could have imagined. But more than just the results, she was with us every step of the way as parents and provided continuous support throughout the process.

Jodie is amazing! I reached out to her after almost 3 months of my 15m old fighting bedtime for 1-2 hours every night and needing is in the room the whole time. Within a few days with some small tweaks we got her down to around 35 mins to settle with our support, so a HUGE improvement. My favourite part about Jodie vs other sleep consultants I’ve used (we have been on quite a journey with our wild girl), is the support she offers. I’ve had other consultants check in after 3 days / a week, whereas Jodie provided support in real time so we were able to make any necessary tweaks on the fly. This made me feel like we were using time to our advantage and got to a workable solution sooner. Definitely recommend if you’re struggling. Sometimes the ‘phase’ is more than a phase. For us after 8 weeks / 2 months of no change we knew there was a deeper issue where we needed extra help.

Jodie supported us the entire time and guided us through, her approach was gentle and consistent and it worked for all of us. Our little one now only wakes once a night for a feed, he was waking over 4-5 times and getting extremely hard to resettle. She has taught our little one to love sleep and to feel safe as he transitions from sleep cycles. We had gone 10 months of broken sleep, rocking for hours on end, unpredictable wake windows. We had tried every trick, every app and honestly felt like sleep would never happen. I now literally put him in his cot and walk out of the room and he’s asleep within 5mins all on his own, comfortably and no crying. Jodie is a superstar, we are so happy and not exhausted YAY!!!!

Jodie was so helpful getting our 8 month old to sleep. We slowly transitioned from Co-Sleeping to the cot, staying with her and giving lots of cuddles. Now she settles easily in her own room and only wakes up once per night (down from at least 3 per night). Couldn't recommend her enough.

After a year of sleep deprivation, a good friend referred us to Jodie with a promise it could change our lives. And after doing her 3 week tailored program it indeed has changed our lives for the better and gave us back our sleep and our mental health. We are so grateful and our baby has now learned to settle herself and we as parents have also learned skills to help her into being settled. Jodie was so easy to work with, she understood exactly what our baby needed and what we needed to do to make it work for our family situation. We will forever be thankful to how much Jodie has helped us. It’s good to know she’s always there for us if we need her.

So happy I engaged with Jodie, she was like an angel sent, within 24 hours Jodie was at my front door in full support for my third journey and first real time giving breastfeeding a go. jodie was kind, understanding and had the most effective approach that worked for me and my baby girl. I would recommend Jodie to anyone looking to breastfeed and maybe experiencing difficulties.

Jodie was amazing! From the moment I met her, she made me feel calm & confident. Navigating the journey of breastfeeding as a first time Mum can be tricky & overwhelming but Jodie taught me techniques that I continue to use weeks on in my journey. She also taught me to tune into what bub needs & is feeling. In our short time together, she transformed the start of my motherhood journey & I will be forever grateful.

Jodie has been instrumental in helping me navigate a challenging breastfeeding journey. With her help, we came up with a realistic management plan to ensure my newborn gained consistent weight. In what was a very stressful time, Jodie not only provided professional advice, but much needed emotional support. Being able to message her daily with any questions was a godsend. I don't know what I would have done without Jodie by my side. I highly recommend working with Jodie!

When my bub decided to arrive at 36 weeks, there was a lot I wasn't prepared for. Having a premature baby made the newborn phase that little more stressful as I was struggling to get her tiny mouth to latch properly and consequently feed properly and put on weight. Jodie came to the rescue and taught me how to position my bub and how to use a nipple shield. She gave me a little schedule on how often to feed, when to pump and how much milk to give as top ups to help her gain weight, which was a great success! Jodie also helped me bath my teeny tiny newborn, to hold her properly and keep her happy and calm. I honestly don't know how any new Mum could not have a 'Jodie' in their life supporting them along the way. Her knowledge and guidance over those first few weeks was truly priceless. Thank you Jodie! xx

Jodie has been an amazing addition to our family! I have a 3 year old and 1 year old, and she has been on the journey with both of them. She is super lovely to talk to, extremely knowledgeable, accommodating and compassionate. Thank you for all your support over the years!

Jodie’s calm and personalised approach to the sleep consulting was what led me to engaging Jodie for the 2 week consulting program. Best decision I have made in a long time. In the initial session Jodie got a good understanding of what was important to us and then worked with us to tweak the day and night routine and provide gentle techniques and approaches to routine and settling. Previously to Jodie’s consulting it was taking us up to an hour sometime 1hour 30mins to get our baby down to sleep at night - this was causing me a high level of anxiety as I also have a 6 year old to get to bed. And am often on my own doing this in the week. Jodie’s advice was so helpful through out the two weeks and even beyond, it was not a cookie cutter approach, it was completely tailored to our family’s lifestyle. I would highly recommend Jodie to all of my friends with babies and young children. I will be engaging Jodie when we need the routine updating.

There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude to Jodie and her baby-whispering magic. As a first time mum, I was clueless and dreaded going into the night (with a bub that woke hourly) - but Jodie changed EVERYTHING! In a gentle, confident and bespoke way to help him (and me) learn how to settle and sleep well. We cannot thank Jodie enough, she was so supportive through out the entire journey and also such a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much Jodie!

I enlisted the help of Jodie for my 4MO son after weeks of catnapping during the day and him waking up to every 2hrs at night. After paying us a hm visit, Jodie was able to provide me with the confidence, skills and knowledge to tackle the problem. Within 1 day, we had a baby who now didn't have a dummy, was starting to self settle himself to sleep and only waking once for a feed over night. Within 1-2wks, my son was in a routine (one that worked in with my 2.5yo daughter, linking a sleep cycle for a long lunch sleep and sleeping through the night. Jodie was EXTREMELY patient with me and my 100s of daily questions and kept my expectations in check when he had a light regression or just a bad day. I now feel confident to be able to read my baby and implement the tools needs to keep him on a good sleep path. I cant thank Jodie enough, shes been a life saver. Highly recommended Jodie!

We contacted Jodie for help with our five month old after weeks of sleepless nights. From what I read, we had developed numerous sleep props and needed to transition our daughter to her own room. Tackling these issues seemed overwhelming. Jodie was calm and kind and had a series of easy to follow steps to get our daughter to sleep through the night, which I never thought was possible. Jodie made me feel confident that I could get my daughter to sleep and keep her asleep and it’s the best feeling being able to do it yourself. I can’t thank or recommend Jodie more to anyone who would like better sleep for themselves and most importantly for their little one. I can honestly delineate our sleep experience as pre and post Jodie.

Jodie was an absolute gem. Our daughter was waking every 45 mins overnight, and despite enlisting the help of a different sleep consultant when she was 3 months old, and completing sleep school, our daughter still needed to be fed to sleep and woke frequently. Severely sleep deprived and sceptical anything could be done to help us, we engaged Jodie’s help. She paid us a visit and we were immediately reassured - she was kind, warm and most importantly she listened to our needs and worked with us rather than imposing strict, rigid rules like we had experienced with other sleep consultants. After 4 weeks of support, and practicing what Jodie had shown us, our daughter now sleeps through the night - something I never would have thought possible given she was waking up to 16 times a night. We also have the skills to persevere and get her back on track when life derails us a bit be it teething, injuries, illness, holidays, or developmental leaps. We are so thankful to have worked with Jodie, she was so kind to us when life threw us a few curveballs, and was so invested in just making sure it was the best, and sustainable outcome for our family. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thanks Jodie.

Game-changer. We had a baby who needed to be either breastfed, or rocked, bounced, patted AND sung to sleep (and woke up on transferring to the cot 75% of the time so we'd have to start all over again) for each sleep, and was more likely to sleep for 20 minutes than 2 hours. With Jodie's experienced and knowledgeable guidance, we now have a baby who happily self-settles in their cot day and night, and naps for 1-2 hours most of the time. It took less than 2 days. We now realise that bubs was always at least a little bit sad and grumpy from overtiredness, because they are so much happier and more settled now that they're getting quality sleep - we can actually take them out in public without risking screaming meltdowns now!! On top of all that, Jodie has recently followed up and helped us to troubleshoot frequent wakes overnight, and early morning (pre-6am) wake-ups. Following her advice the past couple of nights, we've had just one wake, and started the day at a respectable time. I cannot believe how much our lives have changed since working with Jodie. If you're thinking about it, just do it - it is the best money we have ever spent! The only negative is that we've now started putting weight back on from no longer rocking and bouncing bubs for hours every day...

Sleep is happening! Jody was great for helping us with our 9 month old. She is now sleeping through and Jody was great support in answering all my questions and worries about her sleep and feeding, as well as managing her sleep when she was sick. I found Jody to be very approachable and helpful and highly recommend her!

She is an absolute miracle worker! Thanks to her routine, our Naomi is now able to sleep 10-12 hours straight. Thank you, Jodie!
