“Baby & Beyond was formed out of the desperate need for more kindness and support for mums!
Lena’s unique gift with babies and nurturing approach put’s her in high demand and she’ll truly make a difference“
Lena – Baby Sleep Consultant in Wellington.
Hi, I am Lena, Wellington’s leading Baby Sleep Consultant and Post-Natal Advisor. Developing baby sleep patterns that work for your family is my top priority.
I have been supporting and nurturing Mums and their newborn babies and toddlers for the last twenty years. My unique talents are in demand throughout New Zealand and abroad. My passion is to empower, educate, and guide families that are experiencing sleep issues and parenting challenges. I bring a refreshing air of calmness and support and I’m an expert in empowering Mums in getting babies to sleep well.
Baby & Beyond was born to help re-establish confidence for exhausted, frustrated new Mums. Losing sleep daily, getting conflicting baby advice – often unsolicited – and feeling out of control is completing normal for the mother of a newborn baby, but progressively erodes your confidence in yourself. I recognised the pressure that lack of sleep places on Mums and since starting Baby & Beyond have helped so many families get their baby into positive sleep patterns.
Our philosophy at Baby & Beyond is to work alongside you, to empower you, and to build your confidence, skill and knowledge in all aspects of parenting.
My team and I truly believe we can make a difference in establishing baby sleep patterns that put you in charge.
I am a Mum of three beautiful children myself. I understand! I am experiencing those parenting highs and lows alongside you. It’s an amazing journey, but not without its challenges!
Baby & Beyond provides expert knowledge around baby sleep and the behaviour of babies and toddlers. But most of all, we provide support for mums. I’m proud to say Baby & Beyond has had the privilege of supporting hundreds of families since opening (we have lost count on the real number!) Together, with my baby sleep consultants, we continue to enhance our services ensuring our clients receive the highest standard of support and coaching.
About Lena – Your Baby Sleep Consultant
How do I know so much about babies and sleep? I have spent my life training for this very purpose! Before forming Baby & Beyond in 2012, I worked extensively with babies and toddlers, across many areas.
Here is a quick snapshot of my qualifications:
- A Bachelor of Education, specialising in Early Childhood Education
- Completion of Advanced Studies for Teacher’s Units in Development, Learning, and Sleep in Babies and Toddlers
- Gained a Diploma with Honours from the Wellington Nannies College
- Qualified in Childbirth Education (CBE)
- Attended many workshops, conferences, and learning modules in the areas of sleep, and the science behind it
My love of young children began at an early age, so it’s no wonder I have worked with them for so much of my life.
I’ve been an Under 5 Centre Supervisor in New Zealand, and a Head Teacher in private pre-schools in Australia and UK. I also have many years of hands on experience working inside the homes of families throughout the world. During this time I worked with Newborn’s, Babies and Toddlers in long term live-in placements, short term weekend, and overnight contracts.
While caring for my own three children, I qualified as a Childbirth Educator (CBE). Now, I am contracted by the Parents Centre to teach and write courses aimed at new mothers with babies and toddlers. I also run the very popular ‘Baby and You’ course, which I absolutely love!

Look what our clients have been saying about Lena…
“Wow I feel like a million bucks and long may it last! I am delighted and want to thank you Lena so much for your support. I wouldn’t have got through the nights and numerous re-settles without your words of advice going through my mind. You give us the confidence to know that what we are doing is OK and infact good for our little boy” Rebecca, Kapiti Coast
“I want to thank you Lena for coming into our home and helping our 10 month old girl with her sleep (waking all night)! over 3 weeks now and she is going strong. We are feeling more confident with our approach! You listened to our needs and fears and came up with a plan that suited us. Also all support that you gave me is much appreciated around my own anxieties of being a new mom. I love the holistic approach we were given. I think the one on one support is what this family needed! The best money we have spent! We can not thank you enough!” Jo-Anne, Upper Hutt
“Lena you have changed our life! After one week the boys sleep in their cots during the day and almost all night. I thought I would have two twins in my bed until they were 10 haha!! Thank you so so much” Julie, Tawa
“Lena we cannot thank you enough for what you did for us. You were so professional yet felt like a friend we had always had. Supported the things we had done and decisions we had made and then just pointed us in the right direction. We would recommend you to everyone (and have!) Look forward to working with you again soon as we want to touch base when he’s at the next stage!” Lauren, Lower Hutt
“OMG there are not enough words to describe how wonderful Lena is! She helped us out so much in the early (most difficult) days and am reaping the benefits for sure. Absolutely amazing and soooo not judgemental. And totally love their fudge.” Nic, Grenada North
“We have been working with Lena for the past 2 weeks and she has been absolutely fantastic. So supportive and helpful and our son’s sleeping has really improved. I cannot recommend enough!” Kate, Northland
“Thank you so much Lena from the bottom of my heart for the help you gave me with my son’s sleep.
Since speaking with you and making the simple but effective changes to our routine and way we were doing things, he has gone from a terrible sleeper to an amazing sleeper !
He has been sleeping through the night 12 hours straight, and having two brilliant naps each day.
Before speaking to you I was feeling really confused with the overwhelming amount of information available online about getting babies to sleep, and after feeling like I had tried everything , and brought every sleep aid possible over the last 8 months I seriously felt like it was a lost cause. Contacting you was a last resort, and now I wish you were my first point of call.
I was honestly feeling helpless and the complete lack of sleep was making me seriously unwell. I was sick of feeling tired and rundown and as much as I love and adore my boy I was sick of waking up to feed him anywhere from 3-6 times in the night.
I am so amazed beyond words that you were able to provide me with the tools needed to get him sleeping through the night, and transition from 3 short cap naps to 2 brilliant naps in only a matter of days.
I feel like I have more freedom now to do some of the things I really enjoy, and have the energy to really be the Mum and Wife that I always thought I would be. My son is happier sleeping more and is so happy and thriving. My husband is certainly glad that we are both sleeping better so he can too!
I felt that my style of parenting was completely respected, and felt that my values as a parent were listened to which meant the solution you came up with perfectly suited our family. I found the changes simple, and feel so happy that I have the tools needed to make this change long term. I will absolutely be using your services again if we ever strike a sleep problem again such as changing from two naps to one, or sleeping when he starts daycare.
Thank you for you kind reassurance, positivity, understanding and skills, it has made such a positive difference in our lives.” Hope, Raumati Beach
