Hi, I’m Shelby and I’m The Nap Nurse.
I am a certified Baby and Child sleep consultant and a registered member with the International Institute of Complementary Therapies.
I am a wife, a mother, a nurse and sleep consultant and I am here to help, let’s get started!
"We first engaged Shelby when our son was four weeks old with the intention of implementing a routine and encouraging longer sleeps of a night. Shelby was able to provide us with a bespoke plan to assist us in implementing a feed / play / sleep routine for our son throughout the day, with a separate bedtime routine. Shelby provided resources that educated us on infant sleep and soothing techniques; this helped us to build a knowledge foundation we could adapt as required. Our son is now seven weeks old, and sleeping for approximately six hours a night. I
would happily recommend Shelby to any prospective new clients, and am very happy with the services we received"

"Shelby, you have been absolutely amazing!!! Thank you so so so much! We are so grateful for all the help you have given us to assist with Maya and Zara’s sleep. The new routine you prepared for the girls is going really well. We can’t thank you enough for all that you have done for us. We were just so lost and exhausted and had no idea what to do anymore – your suggestions, patience, expertise and understanding has just been the best! Your check-in texts, emails and phone calls were always positive and upbeat, and we loved your supportive and encouraging communication with us. We highly recommend you"

"It has been so nice to work with you over the last few weeks to get Kiyana into a better sleep routine.
Your initial plan for us was good, thorough and achievable. Your 48 hours check-ins gave us time to find out if things were working for us and you were always close by with suggestions when things didn't go to plan - as we know babies have their own ideas sometimes! You were able to adapt your plan for us on the fly as she was going through leaps and difficult moments and that was really appreciated. It really felt like we were working together and understood each other despite not being able to meet you. All in all, I enjoyed working with The Nap Nurse and would have no hesitation in recommending you to my sleep struggling mummy friends."

Shelby, the nap nurse, the sleep queen. I could give you so many titles but one keeps springing to mind and that is ‘my saviour!’.
After 2 short weeks, your constant check ins and words of encouragement our lives have changed. We would highly recommend you to any parents who might be struggling with sleep deprivation like we were. After 3 years here with us, Stella can now sleep through the night with no wake ups! I am truly amazed. You saved our sleep! Stella even said thank you for her special clock, because it helps her know when she can get out of bed or if she needs to go back to sleep! Thank you thank you!

We had been struggling for a while, after already having a sleep consultant with someone else in the early days and following countless instagram sleep accounts which all had varied advice and left us feeling really confused and at a loss with what we should be doing. You came at just the right time for us, getting our baby into a good sleep routine. He has always been tricky with his day sleep, but we have a more consistent 2 nap approach now and most of the time, he can link sleep cycles for that second nap, which he struggled with previously for a long time. We know what his awake windows are now which is a huge relief for us. We also no longer have to pat him to sleep, which is a huge time saver for us. We have also implemented a comforter for him upon your suggestion and it seems to be working well. Last night he actually did not cry at all (which is rare). rather, he played with his comforter for a few minutes before calming going to sleep If this continues, it will be life changing for us and we have you to thank. So, thank you, thank you, thank you, you lovely sleep fairy.

Prior to working with Shelby my 5.5 month old could not self settle and was fully assisted to sleep for naps, bedtime and night wakes. Shelby created an easy to follow plan with choices and scenarios enabling me to confidently make the changes to my sons sleep. Within days he was self settling like a champ, amazing!! Shelby was always positive, supportive and provided additional advice where needed. Thank you so much!!

Being a first-time mum is scary and confusing at the best of times let alone during a pandemic when face to face consultation is non-existent.
I have seen multiple professionals from GP, paediatrician and IBClC and none of them were anywhere near as helpful as Shelby or listened to me the way that she did. She not only made me feel a little less crazy but also heard as a mother.
She was easy to contact, her advice was clear and consistent, and she would get back to me within an hour or two.
I would highly recommend the Nap Nurse to any parent.
