Sleep Success!

Helensburgh’s Andie Corrigan is a Certified Infant & Child Sleep Consultant and the founder of Sleep Success. Here, Andie shares why she became a sleep consultant, and what she loves about her job.

I became a sleep consultant because I was a sleep-deprived, totally exhausted mum. Waking every 45 minutes and unrealistic expectations took their toll on me until I was referred to a sleep school. It changed my life!

I became so frustrated at how easily it could have been prevented. It wasn’t about sleep training. It was just understanding what was happening developmentally, learning to read my baby’s signals a little better and having the confidence to back myself as a mum.

But then, of course, my eldest’s sleep went downhill again and I couldn’t figure out why the tips I’d used before didn’t work anymore! So, I started studying baby sleep consultancy, initially just to increase my understanding and give me more tools around my little’s sleep.

This job is more rewarding than I ever imagined. It’s making a difference to an entire family, not just one person! I love parents walking away feeling confident in their little one’s sleep. It’s about giving them the reassurance to trust their instincts and make choices that align with their family’s values.

I truly believe there is no right way when it comes to your family’s sleep. Everyone has different circumstances, parenting styles and baby temperaments that impact our sleep needs. My support is inclusive and holistic, based on your sleep goals and family values.

Every day I am mixing my passion for educating and helping others, constantly passing on little tips and tricks I learn from each family too. It’s the absolute best!
