My son, Leonardo was 2 years and 4 months when I first got in touch with Amanda for an initial consultation. Up to that point I honestly thought that he was part of the tiny percentage of people that can apparently function on very little sleep!
When I look back, it’s clear that this wasn’t at all the case, and Amanda explained to me exactly what was going on with the unrelenting cycle we were stuck in. Leo would only fall asleep in my bed as I lay next to him, twiddling my hair until he fell asleep at 9pm. Most nights I fell asleep too as every night I would be woken several times by him moaning in his sleep or having full-on night terrors. He would then be up and ready to start the day at 5:30am, sometimes much earlier.
I was beyond exhausted and had reached a very low point by the time I reached out to Amanda for my initial consultation.
However, Amanda instantly lifted my spirits with her care, understanding, incredible wealth of knowledge in this area and most of all her reassurance that things would get better.
I almost didn’t allow myself to believe that my son would one day be asleep in his own bed by 7pm and sleep 11-12 hours uninterrupted, but after being referred by so many people to Amanda I went ahead and chose her Platinum Programme with part support and surely enough it happened: My first full night’s sleep in two and a half years!
I felt like a brand new woman!
Nights like these became the norm and now, rather than dreading the night ahead as I did before I so look forward to snuggling up with my boy for stories and songs at Quiet Time then saying goodnight and having the rest of the evening to myself.
I would highly recommend Amanda’s services to anybody whose little one is experiencing sleep issues, especially for those parents who want to employ gentler methods to help their child to sleep better without crying or leaving them alone.
My only regret is not having contacted Amanda sooner!
