Working with Lauren has been absolutely fantastic. She took the time to understand the issues we were experiencing and made sure the sleep plan was tailored to our family. We would highly recommend Lauren to anyone who’s in need of a good nights sleep!!

Lauren has been an absolute life saver for our family! We have used Lauren a few times before for our other children and trust her soft and gentle approach.
Most recently she has worked out our two sons. First was a 7 month old who was waking frequently through the night. We had her come and stay for 2 nights and she got him sleeping right through the night without feeds. Lauren has been checking in with us daily for the past 1.5 months to make sure we are on track, as the little man was sick and then has been getting his first five teeth through which inevitably did not effect his sleep. But knowing that I could always touch base with Lauren and have the ongoing support to stay on track has been amazing. She’s so knowledgeable and has a very gentle approach to settling.

She also worked with my 5.5 year old son who has never really slept through the night. He would always wake up and jump into bed with us. We would also have to lie next to him and wait for him to fall asleep. Lauren came in and did bedtime with him and reassured him that she would be right outside his door if he needed anything or was scared. He now goes to sleep without us being in the room and sleeps through the whole night. She suggested a great night light and a relaxing bedtime routine which has made the world of difference. Lauren was able to connect so well with Archie and made him feel really safe. It’s been such a weight off our shoulders to have him sleeping well! He’s so much happier in the day and able to concentrate at preschool.

We can’t thank Lauren enough for all of her help and support. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!!

We cannot thank Lauren enough for the incredible support and guidance she provided in helping our 11-month-old transition to sleeping in his own room through the night. Before working with Lauren, we were exhausted from our baby waking up to feed every 2 hours overnight. It was becoming overwhelming and we knew we needed help.

Lauren is warm, knowledgeable, and truly listened to our concerns. She created a customized sleep plan that felt right for our family, and her step-by-step guidance helped us feel confident throughout the process. The plan was gentle yet effective, and within a short time, our baby was sleeping in his own room and staying asleep for longer stretches.

Our nights have completely transformed, and we are finally getting the rest we desperately needed. I highly recommend Lauren to any parents struggling with sleep concerns—she's a lifesaver!

I can’t recommend Lauren enough.

We had a very bumpy 18 month sleep regression which left us exhausted. The tools we used with our first did not work with our second leaving us a little confused.
We had an initial call with Lauren and opted to go with the 3 week support package. Lauren helped give us an actionable plan and structure to support our little guy to help return to happily going to sleep on his own. Lauren has a wonderful approach, which enabled us to give the support our toddler needed but also gave him the space to return to doing it himself.

The daily check ins were wonderful just to help trouble shoot and ask questions if anything funny happened in the last 24 hours.

We got in touch with Lauren for our third baby who really threw us for a loop with sleep. Nothing that worked for our first two children seemed to be working and I felt helpless and exhausted trying to manage her constant night wakes and cat naps during the day, which took longer to settle her for than she would end up sleeping.
We booked in a 3hr home visit and Lauren came over and spent some time with our 8 month old and us to work on how to gently settle her to sleep in a way that worked for her, us and our family. She truly put our girl’s needs first, making sure that she wouldn’t be distressed and always felt supported. Having her there gave us SO much confidence to proceed and I still cannot believe how quickly we saw results from her settling suggestions and changes to our routine. We are out of the house a lot with the bigger kids and she helped us work through naps on the go, self settling in the cot etc. Within the first day we saw huge results in terms of settling times and methods. Our daughter was never left to cry and actually started to really enjoy her bedtime routine. Instead of feeling a sense of dread around nap and bedtimes and nights alone when my husband is shift working, I feel confident and excited to see how she settles, knowing she’s getting what she needs. Within three weeks, she’s settling herself for naps and bedtime. She’s happier during her wake windows and has naps on the go. Our big kids feel involved but also know when to give us space to settle her, knowing we won’t be apart from them for hours at a time to get her to sleep. I feel so emotional about this whole process - Lauren has really given us so much of our life back and helped me feel like I’m meeting my baby’s needs. We have more time to play with our kids instead of settling, more time to enjoy our baby, more time together in the evenings. More sleep. And most importantly, this whole experience has allowed me to really savour this time with our last baby without feeling scared about the next nap or bedtime. I’d recommend Lauren to anyone who’s struggling or needs a little confidence boost to help their little one get better sleep.

Where do I even begin... After almost 2 years of sleepless nights, a tense house and a million different ideas on how to settle our little one we found Lauren. My partner was sceptical and I was cautiously optimistic and all I can say is Lauren delivered!
Lauren's calm nature, empathy and knowledge on the topic is second to none. The best part was the daily check ins and via text. It allowed us to try things, reflect in the light of day and be offered encouragement and advice.
You have to do the work, and Lauren's encouragement helped us keep going in those trying times.
5 weeks on and we are having more bedtime settles in under 20 minutes than ever before and have even started experiencing our child sleeping through a few times.
Our little one is a new kid and I am a new person. Our family is overall happier!!! Thank you so much Lauren, we are so grateful and would recommend your service to anyone who is need of some sleep help!

My experience with Lauren was nothing short of fantastic. I was so happy I chose the in-home support consultation - having it be so hands on with her support to navigate how to settle my little one made it feel less lonely & built my confidence. Over the several weeks, we went from not being able to self settle at all, to sleeping hours on end with my daughter knowing how to self soothe/settle without me. This was the first time she could do it in her life (13 months later) she also now car naps/pram naps which she never could do before & I am so grateful for this new level of sleep we all now receive. She's professional, extremely personable & a wealth of knowledge - thankyou so much!

Honestly, we cannot thank and recommend Lauren at The Conscious Parenting Co enough! We had tried other sleep training methods in the past which didn't work nor suit our parenting style, until we came across Lauren. Working with Lauren was easy, flexible and mostly supportive! It was calming to know Lauren did not follow a one size fits all type protocol which was reflective in the work and support that was provided. We honestly now feel equipped with tools and strategies to get consistent sleep for us and our little one and again all thanks to Lauren and her support. Thank you Lauren 🙂
