Lily is a respite Maternity Nurse and Sleep Consultant who works in South West London and also offers phone consultations outside of this area.
Sleep is an integral part of a child’s development and their family’s wellbeing. Whilst studying Midwifery, working as a Maternity Nurse and a Nanny, Lily has learnt the importance of guiding children to have the ability to self settle, even from the very early stages. With regard to sleep techniques, Lily believes good communication is key and offers advice whilst respecting parents own informed choices.
Lily listens to your individual needs and provides guidance prior to initiating any sleep programme. It is important for the process to be gradual to ensure that goals are realistic and achievable. Lily also offers respite night nannying and weekend daytime maternity nurse support.
Lily is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. She thrives to provide parents with confidence to implement the tailored sleep programme for their child. Lily aims for parents to feel well supported and motivated throughout the process.

“I first contacted Lily after really struggling to get my 7 month old little girl into a routine. I was always having to rock her to sleep in her pram and would spend many nights going for a walk to get her to go to sleep. I decided that enough was enough and Lily literally has been amazing! She listened to my individual needs and works the tailored sleep programme around what will help you and your baby. I will be honest, the first two days and nights were difficult, particularly as I wanted to stop E's dependence on her dummy at the same time. Unbelievably, we are now seven days in and E now sleeps through the night without a dummy and is able to self settle. Lily also implemented a milk reduction programme for E as she had built a feed to sleep association for any night wakings. Additionally E now goes down for her naps happily during the day with virtually no crying at all. Lily was always very helpful with any concerns I had and her support has been amazing. When things were difficult she was there to give me motivation and I quite honestly think I would have given up after the first day if it was not for her! I would recommend Lily to anyone!”

“My two year old started to wake in the night and fortunately I was recommended Lily through my cousin who had used her. Lily was brilliant. During an initial phone consultation, I explained what we were doing. Lily gave me some great tips to get E in a regular day routine before installing the sleep programme. Lily explained where I could change a few things to help E sleep. After gradually moving her nap from morning to afternoon, E stopped getting over tired in the evening before bed. Lily gave me the confidence to change things and was at the end of the phone if I had any questions. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is having trouble in getting their child to sleep.”

"Lily started as a Maternity Nurse as my son was a newborn. She has been fantastic at this both when he was a newborn (whilst requiring feeding) and now with the differing challenges of caring for a 6 month old and 21 month old simultaneously during the evening and night. Lily helps with all aspects of the children’s day ranging from food, playtime, classes, bedtime, bath time and lots of creative arts and crafts. She is an incredibly hard worker who ultimately gets satisfaction from helping people and being of value, this is evident in everything she does for us.
Lily has an unflappable and calming nature, she is never flustered and tackles every situation in her calming style always with good humour. Our children adore Lily and we as a family could not value her more highly. She is an exceptional carer of children and we as a family trust her implicitly."
WR, Dad of 2yr old and 11 month old.
"Lily is confident, hardworking, kind and is a popular member of our midwifery team. She is always spoken of very highly by women in her care. I believe that any family she works with will find her to be an amazing and supportive asset who they can rely on at all times"
