ABOUT ME
Hello, I'm Jen. First and foremost I am a mum. I live in Clarkston, Glasgow with my husband, 2 children (toddler and baby) and our very fluffy cat.
Career wise I have been a registered nurse for almost 15 years working in a variety of different clinical and non clinical settings. I trained as a sleep consultant in 2021 while on maternity leave with my first born and have been offering sleep support alongside my nursing role since 2022.
I have always been rubbish at sleeping so I very much understand the torture of sleep deprivation! I didn't sleep through the night until I was 3 years old and even now it is rare that I get a full night's sleep. So when I had my wee boy I was determined not to pass on the curse of poor sleep to him and so I began researching everything I could about babies sleep and discovered the role of sleep consultants. This led me to the Sleep Nanny Academy where I trained to become a fully certified child sleep consultant.
Learning about the science and psychology of sleep has been fascinating and using the information to adapt my behaviour when it came to my son's sleep was a total game changer. Watching him go from over-tired and grumpy to the most content happy wee chap was amazing, not to mention I could get so much more done in a day! Since having my daughter in Sept 2023, I have been putting my knowledge of newborn sleep to good use and she first slept through the night by 3 months and we are currently navigating the ever changing nap routines.
Having the knowledge to get my little ones sleeping well without stress has been so rewarding for my whole family and I want to share that and help make it happen for all the other sleep deprived parents out there!
