Welcome to The Baby Sleep Sanctuary
I'm Ellie, Sydney Eastern Suburbs based, certified baby sleep consultant and founder of The Baby Sleep Sanctuary. After seven years in the high-pressure media world at BBC Global News, I thought I understood stress - until I became a mum.
From the moment my beautiful son was born, sleep was a constant struggle. He woke every 30 to 45 minutes, night after night, for the first seven months of his life. I was utterly exhausted, overwhelmed, and barely making it through the days - all while navigating postpartum depression and OCD. I discovered firsthand just how essential sleep is - not only for babies, but for the entire family.
Sleep Coaching Services
Sleep Coaching Package
One flat fee. Full support until your baby is sleeping soundly.
Before we begin, we’ll start with a quick, obligation-free phone call to chat through your current challenges and make sure we’re the right fit. I’ll also explain how I work and what to expect from the process, so you feel confident moving forward.
My Sleep Coaching Philosophy
I believe that good sleep is not just possible, it’s essential for the wellbeing of your baby and your whole family. My approach is rooted in gentle, evidence-based methods that respect your baby’s emotional needs while giving you the structure and support to create lasting change.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all sleep solutions. Every baby is different and so is every family. That’s why I take the time to truly understand your child’s temperament, your parenting style, and your unique goals.
What Families Are Saying
Thank you so much once again for extending such kindness to us, we have had a really rough year and you will never know how much this has helped our family! I'll never forget it ❤️

Ellie gave us the support and strategies we needed and on the very first night, our daughter slept from 6:30pm to 6am! It was honestly transformational.

I wouldn’t have believed it. We’d just come back from a long trip and were in full survival mode

Frequently Asked Questions
We support families from newborn to around six years old — whether you’re dealing with a brand-new baby, a toddler refusing naps or a preschooler regressing in sleep. My goal is to meet you wherever your child is, and help you build restful nights for your whole family.
Yes — our approach is rooted in gentle, evidence-based methods that honour secure attachment and your parenting values. No strict schedules, no “cry it out” mandates. Instead, we craft a plan that fits your child’s temperament, your home rhythm and the way you parent.
Absolutely. Your feeding and sleep arrangements are respected. Whether you’re nursing, sharing a room, bed-sharing, or planning a transition, we build around your preferences and support you in creating healthy sleep habits in a way that feels right for your family.
Many families notice positive shifts — calmer bedtimes, longer stretches of sleep, better naps — within a few nights to two weeks, depending on the child’s age, sleep history and how consistently the plan is applied. We walk with you through each step to make sure progress is steady and sustainable.
Life happens, and your sleep plan is built with flexibility. When disruptions like travel, teething, illness or developmental leaps occur, we’ll adapt the plan together rather than restarting. Your job is to make consistent progress — not to be perfect every night.
Not at all. You’re here because you care, and you’ve probably already tried many things. I listen first, honour your choices, gather the full sleep story, and build a plan with you. You’re the expert on your child and your home — I’m the guide who supports you to restful nights.
Typical inclusions:
A detailed intake questionnaire to map your child’s sleep habits, temperament and your family’s rhythm.
A consultation (phone or in-home, depending on your package) to walk through the plan together.
A personalised written sleep plan tailored to your child and your values.
Follow-up support to help you implement the plan, troubleshoot, adjust and feel confident.
Yes. Frequent brief night wakings can add up and exhaust the whole family. We’ll identify the triggers (environment, sleep associations, developmental factors) and design strategies that lengthen restful stretches, calm those quick wakings and support more peaceful nights.
Yes. Our methods draw on current sleep science and child development knowledge, while remaining rooted in gentleness and respect. Your child’s emotional and physical wellbeing is always the priority, and your unique family rhythm guides the plan we create.
First step: reach out for a free, obligation-free chat where we discuss your current sleep landscape, your goals and see if we’re a good fit. If it feels right, we’ll progress to intake, choose the best package for your family, craft your personalised plan and begin the journey toward restful nights.
