After 18 months of broken sleep, 4:30 wake ups, and a toddler who refused to nap in the day, we contacted Maryanne in desperation. My youngest daughter had been diagnosed with reflux when she was a baby and she had never slept through the night, unlike our first who is a great sleeper. Maryanne was brilliant, talking us through different options and asking us which we would feel comfortable with. Her empathy and understanding was incredibly comforting and I trusted her instantly.

She suggested completely changing our bedtime routine, while taking our eldest daughter into consideration. We did this and then started with the sleep plan Maryanne had tailored to our needs.

It was just amazing - Ilona responded on the first night and within 3 nights she was sleeping 11 hours straight. Maryanne's support has been constant and unwavering. We now have a toddler who goes down in her cot happily and sleeps for over an hour during the day and more than 11 hours at night. Contacting Maryanne has been life changing and we really can't thank her enough.

I'd read great reviews on The Sleep Works website but didn't really think anything would help our 6 month old start sleeping better. She was awake almost every hour and could take hours to settle and we were all suffering for it.

Maryanne was very understanding and worked with our preferences to find an approach that suited us. Within a few nights (and with a lot less upset than we thought) our baby started sleeping through the night-a result far better than we'd hoped for! She now also has long naps easily in her cot so everyone is much happier!

Maryanne was an absolute lifesaver for us. Our third child was a nightmare of a sleeper, waking up every 2 hours even at 7 months. Maryanne’s approach was gentle, holistic, carefully tailored to our family’s needs, and most importantly incredibly effective. After a week Sam was sleeping through the night, and he is now by far the best sleeper of all our kids. We often tell anyone who will listen that it’s the best money we’ve ever spent!

The results with our sons have been fantastic and I hope will continue to improve, but what I couldn’t have envisaged was what a far-reaching effect it’s had on everyone. The boys are much better behaved in the day, our relationship has improved and everyone is much much happier and more well rested. Maryanne’s support throughout the process has been incredible ... I literally couldn’t have done it without her. I can’t praise her highly enough.

We can't put into words quite how much Maryanne's help has meant to us and our little family. Our 16 month old was waking every 1-2 hours, all night, and only having short cat naps during the day. We were all exhausted and at the end of our tethers. We'd read all the books and had tried so many things that we thought she'd never sleep!

Maryanne talked us through various options, no 'one size fits all approach', really listened to us, gave us the confidence to try again and guided us through every step. Her method was very gentle and we were comfortable with it at all times. Our little girl now sleeps for 12 hours a night and naps happily for 2 in the day. Thank you Maryanne - we're eternally grateful x

We're so grateful to Maryanne for helping our 8 month old twin girls (and us!) sleep better. I immediately felt comfortable with Maryanne’s approach to sleep training, which is sensitive and gentle – and extremely effective. Within days our babies were settling much better for both daytime and nighttime sleep and no longer waking frequently and needing us to respond. She is an excellent sleep coach and I’ll be recommending her to my other sleep-deprived friends!

Maryanne’s strategies and techniques felt instinctively right for us, as they communicated a clear message to our baby whilst ensuring he still felt safe and loved. She was tremendously supportive, intuitive and insightful, helping us every step of the way to get the results we were after. Within 3 weeks our baby was sleeping through the night, and at last we were getting some sleep too! Thanks to Maryanne, we are now enjoying parenthood more than ever.

Maryanne’s techniques enabled us to get our daughter off to sleep on her own, without having to hold our hand or use us as comfort. Then when she did wake in the night she managed to get herself back to sleep and self-soothe. We can’t thank Maryanne enough for her guidance, patience and constant support during a time in which we thought we would never get through. She has helped us deal with our daughter in a firm but kind way, which is just what she needed.
