Hi I’m Kathryn, I have a natural love of working with children and their families. My passion for this lead me down a path of training and working as a nanny with many different families and countries all over the world.

Coming back to the Waikato and working as a parenting facilitator I then became a mother of three, now teenagers. Having a career as a certified sleep consultant seemed the next natural progression and one I am loving.

Having worked for more than 20 years, almost as an extended member of other families, I have developed the ability to provide sensitive, caring, and timely support and also an intuition that allows me to respond to the needs of the family in a respectful manor.

Drawing on my experience as a mother and my training as a sleep consultant, plus the ongoing mentoring from Lena and Baby & Beyond, I can compassionately support families to regain and sustain the confidence they need to tackle the challenges that parenting brings. I can offer information and guidance towards better sleeping habits for your family that will allow your child to learn to sleep independently and offer follow up support that will help continue to maintain this.

I am excited to be working as part of the Baby & Beyond team as I know our knowledge and skill set can only help to guide families through what can potentially be a very rewarding journey.
