Sleep deprivation can affect all aspects of our lives.
Don’t wait – Talk to me today!
Hi, I’m Kim! Mum to two gorgeous school-age children, and certified Sleep Sense™ consultant. I know what it’s like to be at the end of your tether due to lack of sleep. It’s hard to enjoy your child and really be there for them when you’re exhausted – let alone be your best at work, or take care of all your other family and household responsibilities.
I started Cherished Sleep, sleep consulting because I know firsthand what sleep deprivation can do to families…
You don’t have to do it alone, I am here to help!
Five Steps To Getting Your Baby To Sleep Through The Night
Sleep deprivation is no joke, it has real consequences for the whole family.
When your child isn’t sleeping it means NO-ONE is getting the rest they need.
If this is happening in your household, your stress levels are likely through the roof.
If you feel like you’re not coping and you’re often reduced to tears, it’s time to get some help. Lack of sleep puts you at greater risk of depression, anxiety and physical health problems and it may also be affecting your child’s wellbeing and their development.
Whether you’re a new parent after advice, you’re struggling with your child’s sleep, or you’re the one with a sleep issue to fix, I’d love to help your family.

The Sleep Sense™ Method, created by Dana Obleman in 2003, has already helped hundreds of thousands of parents just like you teach their children healthy sleep habits. It was my strong belief in Dana’s system that inspired me to become a professional sleep consultant, and I look forward to helping you and your family achieve the same results that my recent clients have been enjoying. Here are some testimonials from them:
Kim has been fantastic! Couldnt reccomend Cherished Sleep more! We have a 13 month old, feed to sleep and terriable at self settling since 4 months old. At 1 year we decided to try it out, after 1 night we noticed improvements, after 2 nights we had a changed boy. Its now 2 weeks and oh my goodness, we have ourselves a little angel sleeper! Kim thank you, highly reccomend the investment. Even if you have a ‘pretty good sleeper’ you will soon have a master sleeper!
Kim has been so wonderful to work with in giving us the tools to give our children the skills they needed to sleep well. Our girls didn’t make it the easiest transition but all the awesome tips and tricks Kim had up her sleeve helped us overcome these. We now have stress free bedtimes and lovely rested children.
