Deborah’s sleep clinic was designed precisely for this sleep deprived household! My two children, then aged 6 months and 2 ½ years old, had horrible sleep habits and I quickly needed help from a professional.

Initially, I utilised the clinic for my young son, Sammy, who was still waking through the night as I had just weaned him from breastfeeding and started him on formula.  By employing Deborah’s straightforward and realistic weekly or monthly sleep goals, specifically by setting a routine and creating more down time in the evening for Sammy, I was gaining confidence in the clinic’s effectiveness, seeing results, and most importantly, everyone in our household was getting their much needed and deserved sleep.

Deborah did such a fantastic job with Sammy, that I then used the sleep clinic for my older daughter, then 2 ½ years old, who was not getting enough nighttime sleep and was napping as a result of this REM sleep deficiency.  I thought Isabelle was a hopeless case in developing better sleeping habits, but once again, Deborah employed simple yet effective sleep techniques, such as an incentive based reward scheme along with positive reinforcement in this case.
