Witnessing the precious first years of children’s lives and helping families thrive is what lights me up! And when I receive reviews like this, it's the cherry on top of the cake!

    Sarah is phenomenal and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment she stepped into our home and took one of our twin boys into her arms, we knew that we and our boys were in very good hands. Sarah joined our family when our twins were 2 weeks old and worked with us for 3 months as a night nurse. As a new mum, I was naturally nervous and was just hopeful that Sarah could help me overnight with the boys so that I could get some rest to tackle the days on my own. But we got so much more. Not only did Sarah look after the boys overnight (feeding, settling etc), she provided us with so much advice and guidance around everything to do with the boys including their routines, feeding, developmental issues, and literally ANYTHING to do with parenting. Her knowledge of all things babies and children is exceptional. Sarah was so kind, gentle, caring, and nurturing both towards us and the boys and even though we only had her assist us for 3 months, she feels like a member of our family and someone we will forever cherish. Sarah is a real professional, was a delight to have in our home, and built a fantastic bond with us and our boys. Sarah clearly loves her job and is passionate about caring for babies and children. She is loving and caring and having Sarah made life so much easier at what can be an overwhelming time. We miss her every day. It was truly a pleasure to have her look after our boys at the start of their lives. We are lucky to have met Sarah and believe any family would be lucky to have her!

  • Gemma, Brisbane

    We are so grateful for all Sarah’s help with our little girl. She made such a positive impact in such a short amount of time! She was professional and always made us feel comfortable and understood. She was always happily available for any guidance and support we needed. We were able to wean from night feeds and also have our 9 month old sleeping through in a week. Thank you Sarah for everything!

  • Elizabeth, Canberra

    Sarah has been a lifesaver with our daughter. Sarah started helping us with sleep routines when our daughter was a newborn. She was very unsettled and constantly grizzling. Sarah was calm, methodical and extremely knowledgeable with settling techniques, and quickly got our daughter into a routine. From then, Sarah has continued to provide advice on our daughter’s sleep routine. Most recently, Sarah’s advice saved us from many sleepless nights as our daughter transitioned out of her cot. We don’t know what we would do without Sarah. We highly recommend her!

  • Alice, Melbourne

    After months of trying every trick in the book to get my baby to take a bottle and having zero success, I reached out to Sarah for some advice. She was so quick to get back to me with a solution and in less than a week my baby was happily taking the bottle. Sarah was so lovely and generous with her time and I am so grateful for her help and guidance!

  • Ashleigh, Brisbane

    We cannot recommend Sarah at the Sleep Sanctuary enough!! Our little man was waking at least 4 times a night, always needing a bottle to go sleep, needed to be rocked and patted to sleep and was a 5am riser every day. He was also not established on Solids properly. After less than 2 weeks with Sarah, our bub is now sleeping through the night, self settling by himself and absolutely SMASHING his solids. He's also letting us sleep in until 6am sometimes later. Sarah was always on hand to answer any questions and she always went above and beyond to help us. She gave us so much confidence to move forward knowing we have the tools to combat any issues that may arise. Thank you so much Sarah!!

  • Haylee, Brisbane

    I would absolutely recommend Sarah to everyone. She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things babies and children. Her warm and caring nature helps when times get tough and she explains her approach with great detail. Sarah takes the time to develop a relationship with bub and our little boy absolutely loved spending time with her! Our bub was having many issues with settling and sleep and Sarah has made a big impact when it comes to settling him, having good routines, but also boosting my confidence in knowing what to do when it all became such a challenge. Thank you so much Sarah for your amazing support and help, we don't know where we'd be without you!

  • Harshita, Brisbane

    We are so thankful to Sarah who helped guide us through getting our 9 month baby girl to sleep through the night by Day 4! We couldn't believe it, after 9 long months of very little sleep, I certainly feel normal again. I have utilised other sleep consultants too but they didn't even come close to what Sarah has achieved. She is a thorough professional who is passionate about what she does and the results speak for itself. What I loved about Sarah is she pushed me to keep going and as a 1st time mum who is exhausted, sleep deprived with emotions running high - it would be almost impossible to navigate this through without the confidence and the holistic approach she took including nutrition, night feeds, sleep associations etc. The detailed explanation, sms support , quick responses to questions and all done with kindness - she is the best! Thank you very much Sarah!

  • Siobhan, Brisbane

    Sarah has been such a reassuring presence as we tackle a particularly tough sleep regression with our 2.5 year old girl. It's clear that she knows what she is talking about, and her approach is backed by a scientific approach which I appreciate. She has been very prompt with her responses which it very important to me. I highly recommend her. This has been a very tough time and she has alerted us to issues we didn't even know existed, and really asked the right questions to get to the crux of the regression.

  • Hannah, Brisbane

    Sarah is amazing! She helped me to establish a routine for my newborn that fitted in with also looking after my toddler and I can now get both girls ready and to bed at the same time. Sarah helped me to set specific goals and gave me so much support and encouragement to achieve them. My newborn was having contact naps all day but with Sarah's help I can now put her down in the bassinet! Sarah's advice and support has given me so much more confidence than I had before! I highly recommend Sarah!

  • Stephanie, Brisbane

    Sarah has been a wonderful ongoing help! I feel she has such a holistic and personal approach to helping families. All advice was so personal to my family's routines and even working alongside my sons reflux. Sarah's help and amazing advice allowed me to feel more confident in helping my little one sleep. I am very thankful for all her help, advice and kind words.

  • Aliya, Brisbane

    Sarah is an absolute rockstar! When she is taking care of my baby, I am anxiety free. She is knowledgeable, kind, approachable and is a legend with babies. I would highly recommend her services 100%. If you want a stress free night, call Sarah.

  • Chelsea, Brisbane

    Sarah was an absolute blessing for our little one's sleep! Her support and guidance helped our 6 month old to go from waking every 30 minutes to sleeping through the entire night in just under 2 weeks. We are so thankful to Sarah for her wisdom, guidance, and support.

  • Arlia, Geelong

    Sarah has been an immense help in getting us to a point where our daughters sleep routine is not a chore anymore. Very informative, happy to answer questions and provided heaps of tips and advice without leaving us overwhelmed.

  • Justine, Brisbane

    Thank you so much for your help and guidance Sarah! We were deep in sleep deprivation with our toddler and baby. Sarah was so easy to communicate with, understood what would work for us and supported us through the entire process. Our toddler is now consistently sleeping through the night, and our baby is sleeping so much better as well. They are so much more content with full sleep tanks, and we are happier for it! Thank you again!

  • Amy, Brisbane

    To leave your newborn with someone the week after getting out of hospital was really difficult for me. But with no friends or family around due to Covid border closures and me being ill after an emergency c-section I had no choice. Sarah kept us sane and hopeful in those early days when she would easily cry for 4 hours without end. Sarah was flexible and reliable. She would provide us with weekly in-depth advice about sleep, settling, breastfeeding etc. She remained available for advice via telephone even after she finished her Night Nanny service. We would highly recommend her to anyone!

  • Jessica, Brisbane

    We highly recommend Sarah! She is a great professional and a lovely person. she helped us with our newborn baby boy and made us more confident to understand him and this whole new life and routine. Thank you so much Sarah for everything

  • Becky, Brisbane

    Sarah helped give me the tools and confidence to get my little one to sleep in her bassinet rather than just contact nap. She’s great at responding to queries and I feel like she was really invested in helping me.
