Emma knows from first hand experience the overwhelming exhaustion of chronic sleep deprivation. It not only effects your baby or child adversely, but has profound effects across the whole family’s wellbeing.

Meet Emma O’Callaghan
Emma founded Baby Sleep Expert to provide an empathetic and understanding service that is easily accessible to all. With over 20 years working within both hospital and community settings, Emma has extensive experience in working with infants and children in their formative years.
Her background as a Midwife and IVF Reproductive Nurse Specialist complements her Certification as an Infant and Child Sleep Consultant, as well as advanced training in the Biology of Attachment and Neurodevelopment with Dr. Aimie Apigian.

everyone is different
unique
Emma believes that every baby, child and family are unique and has developed a holistic approach to sleep coaching. There are no sleep problems that she is unable to solve as she works in partnership with you. Emma gets to know your family, your child and your sleep problems and gives you a simple, achievable plan, with bundles of hand holding, to launch your baby to sleep success! Emma's aim is to see babies thriving and parents confident and enjoying parenthood again.

easy
Often, parents are surprised by how easy the process is overall. The most common phrase Emma hears is ‘I wish I’d done it sooner’!
all styles
Emma supports all styles of parenting when working with your family to develop a plan. She takes into account your parenting style, your baby’s temperament and your family’s schedule, all the while keeping a close eye on the emotional wellbeing of your baby and you.

Emma is a Certified Baby Sleep Conultant, as certified by Baby Sleep Consultant Training Ltd Australia.
All Baby Sleep Consultants are taught to be experts on all behavioural methods of sleep training, we also have our own unique methods which we know from experience are very successful.
Baby Sleep Consultants do not believe in the one size fits all approach to sleep consulting or sleep training. We consider behaviour modification and sleep training to be one solution, but our unique holistic approach means that in some cases it is not even necessary once we have made changes to sleep hygiene, environment and timing.
