My approach
Maria Besini - Certified Baby and Child Sleep Consultant
I understand how challenging children’s sleep problems can be for the whole family.
My goal is to support you in helping your child grow into a happy, confident and emotionally secure child, while strengthening the parent–child bond.
Every sleep challenge is unique. Together, we explore the whole picture, identify the root causes of your child’s sleep challenges, and create personalized sleep solutions that truly fit your child and your family.
My approach is trauma-informed and attachment-based, which means your child’s emotional wellbeing always comes first. The strategies we use respect your child’s biological sleep rhythms and developmental needs. Changes happen gradually, using gentle sleep strategies that honour your child’s pace and your family’s values.
Through our work together, my aim is for you to gain practical sleep tools, a deeper understanding of your child’s needs, and greater confidence as a parent.
Ultimately, the goal is a well-rested child, calmer nights, and a more balanced family life.

Does This Sound Familiar?
If your child’s sleep has become a daily struggle, you are not alone. Many parents experience sleep challenges, frequent night wakings, and exhausting bedtimes.
Perhaps:
Your child struggles to fall asleep and bedtime turns into a long and exhausting routine
Your child wakes up multiple times during the night, leaving the whole family exhausted
You are co-sleeping, but it no longer works for your family
Your child needs breastfeeding, rocking, or constant help to fall asleep
You feel completely exhausted and unsure what to try next
You have tried different advice, but nothing seems to work consistently
You want to understand what is normal sleep behaviour for your child’s age
It’s not your fault. And it’s certainly not your child’s fault either.
Many families struggle with sleep challenges, night wakings, and exhausting bedtimes.
With the right sleep guidance and a personalized sleep plan, things can change in a way that truly fits your child and your family.If you recognized your family in any of the situations above, you are in the right place to find gentle sleep support for your child.
How Life Can Change When Sleep Improves
I know that right now you may feel overwhelmed and find yourself wondering, “Will I ever sleep through the night again?”
Now imagine how life could feel after sleep support and the right guidance, when:
• Bedtime becomes calm and connected, without stress, pressure, or daily battles
• Your child learns to fall asleep more independently, without needing constant help
• You no longer have to wake up repeatedly during the night just to help your child fall asleep again
• And if your child wakes during the night, they can settle back to sleep more easily and quickly
• Your child gets the restorative sleep they truly need and is happier during the day, with fewer meltdowns
• You and your partner can enjoy peaceful evenings together again
• You wake up in the morning feeling more rested and with more energy
• Your home feels calmer and daily life becomes more balanced and predictable
• You feel more confident and secure in your parenting
What Parents Often Tell Me at the End
I know how difficult it can be right now to imagine that your child’s sleep can truly improve.
Many parents start this journey wondering whether things will ever really change.
What I can tell you is what parents often say when we reach the end of our sleep consulting journey:
• “When we started, it felt impossible to imagine sleep without nursing. In the end, it was much easier than I expected.”
• “I still can’t believe how quickly my child’s sleep improved.”
• “I finally have time to relax with my partner again in the evening.”
• “I stopped yelling and the meltdowns stopped too.”
• “My child loves their own room and bedtime routine now.”
• “We do our routine and then my child falls asleep calmly and easily.”
• “I feel so much more confident as a parent.”
• “I finally started taking care of myself again.”
• “My child now sleeps in the nursery / stroller / car without difficulties.”
If you want to find out what can help your family
During this free 20-minute sleep consultation, I will listen to what is happening with your child’s sleep and explain honestly whether – and how – I may be able to support your family.
It’s simply a first conversation to understand what your child’s sleep and your family may need.
The consultation is completely free and there is no obligation to continue working together.

What parents say...
Verified Google Reviews
The word “thank you” feels too small for Maria. Her support was incredibly valuable to our family. With her gentle and practical advice, we achieved things we never thought possible. We first stopped sleeping in the carrier, then our baby learned to sleep in the crib, and now our child falls asleep independently in their own bed. Everything was done with love, respect and sensitivity for our baby and for us as parents and of course without tears. Maria, we truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting not only our little one, but also us as parents. ❤️
Choosing Maria was the best decision we could have made, and the results exceeded our expectations. She is an exceptional professional, highly knowledgeable about baby and child sleep, and at the same time a very warm and caring person. We trusted her guidance and followed her advice carefully, and the result was that our sleepless nights finally came to an end. What impressed us most was that everything was done with great respect and sensitivity for our child’s emotions. Thank you so much for everything you've done with our family 🙏
We completed Maria’s sleep program, which also included night weaning and helping our child transition to their own bedroom, and I am truly very happy with the results. We had several sleep challenges to work through, and I really appreciated the way Maria guided and supported me throughout the entire process. Her approach was calm, clear and always respectful of our child’s needs. Maria, thank you so much. You helped us not only improve our child’s sleep, but also discover new ways to connect and communicate as a family. 🥰

This approach supports not only better sleep, but also a happy and emotionally secure child.
Trauma-Informed Sleep Support
Being trauma-informed means understanding how a child’s nervous system, emotions and experiences influence sleep and behaviour.

Every child and every family is unique. That’s why our work together is based on personalized sleep guidance that respects your child’s temperament, development and your family’s needs.
You will never be asked to leave your child to cry or follow strategies that don’t feel right for your family.
Instead, we work with empathy, respect and emotional safety, creating changes that feel natural for your child and lead to lasting sleep improvements.
We focus on the root causes of sleep difficulties and behaviour, not just the symptoms.
This allows us to build a strong foundation for calmer nights and healthy sleep habits, without pressure, guilt or losing the connection with your child.
