About Me
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.
In desperation, I turned to a wonderful sleep consultant - and it changed everything. With her warmth, knowledge, and support, my son began to sleep, and I finally started to feel like myself again.
That experience was life-changing. It lit a fire in me to help other families facing the same challenges.
Through The Baby Sleep Sanctuary, I offer compassionate, personalised sleep support for children from birth through to six years old. I work with tired parents who are longing for rest but don’t know where to begin, using gentle, evidence-based methods that nurture secure attachment and support healthy, independent sleep - always tailored to your child’s needs and your parenting values.
Whether you’re navigating newborn nights, toddler bedtime battles, or preschool sleep disruptions, I’m here to offer calm, clarity, and a plan that truly works for your family.
Because I’ve been where you are - and I believe every baby, every child, and every parent deserves the gift of rest.
