In Home Consultations
Locations
- Natalie provides in home consultations in the Newcastle, Central Coast and Hunter Valley Regions of NSW Australia only.
Is this the right consultation for you?
- The in home consultation is perfect for local families that would appreciate Natalie’s support in your own home, in your child’s bedroom while initiating your new Sleeping and Settling routine. This is designed to be a once only visit to empower you with the information and the skills to implement and sustain the new routine in order for you to achieve your sleeping and settling goals. Once you achieve your sleeping and settling goals you will then have the confidence to plan for great days and improve unsettled ones. If you feel you need more support than a daytime visit Natalie can recommend alternative services that may suit your needs better.
Success rate
- Natalie has a 99.9% success rate for her clients self-settling to sleep in their own bed, during the consultation using the Sleep and Settle System, no matter what the clients were doing to settle to sleep before the consultation. Changing your baby or toddler’s sleeping routine is a gentle process that begins at the consultation, the average time it takes to achieve your goals is 3-21 days.
How does the consultation work?
- Prior to the consultation Natalie will assess your child’s sleeping and settling issues and consider your aims and expectations of the consultation to determine if it is the right choice for you.
- During the consultation Natalie will discuss the aims of the consultation, assess your child’s bedroom environment, help you choose the appropriate strategy for your child and family and stand side by side with you while implementing your new strategy for the first time.
- You will gain the skills to understand your baby or toddler's needs, plan for a great day that contributes to great night sleeping and to improve an unsettled day or night. The five simple steps of the Sleeping Baby System™ will be covered leaving you feeling empowered and confident with your new routine. For more information on The Sleeping Baby System™ click here.
When and what time are the consultations?
- The in home consultation is booked Monday to Friday during business hours and the time of the consultation based around your baby or toddler’s daytime routine. If you feel that your baby or toddler doesn’t have a routine Natalie will suggest an age appropriate one to follow that is comfortable for your family. Natalie only see's one family per day in order to respect your baby or toddlers sleep time for the consultation.
- The consultation is held during the day. It doesn’t matter whether your baby or toddler’s sleeping or settling problems occur in the day or night, you will be applying the same strategy for all sleeps. The daytime routine always contributes to the night sleep and vice versa. You are more likely to retain the information discussed during the day when you are more awake.
How long does the consult go for?
- The average length of the consultation is 2-3 hours.
What is the investment for the consultation?
- There is a flat fee of $360 plus travel if applicable. Natalie will discuss the travel with you personally once she receives your enquiry form. Credit cards and direct debits accepted.
How many consults will I need?
- You will only need one consultation. Natalie has only been back to the same family more than once for a completely different problem much later on or the next baby to prevent problems before they begin!
