Tailored sleep support

5 months - 4 years.

Exhausted and running on empty? Maybe you feel like you have tried everything but your little one is still not sleeping well. I offer tailored sleep support to resolve your little one’s sleep issues. Meaning the whole family gets the rest they need.

No more guesswork. No more trial and error.

Expert support from a Certified Sleep Consultant and Teacher of 14 years — so you can feel rested, reasured and back in control.

Ready to feel like yourself again?

At Little Ember Sleep Consultancy, I support parents who are exhausted, overwhelmed or beginning to dread bedtime.

Perhaps your baby needs to be fed or rocked to sleep, wakes frequently throughout the night, naps have become a struggle or your baby is suddenly waking at 5a.m. You may be spending hours getting your little one to sleep, only to find yourself doing it all over again a few hours or even minutes later. If you feel like you are in the loop of trial and error and second guessing, please be assured you don’t need to work this out alone.

I want to help you find a way forward and for you to know there is light at the end of the tunnel.

With an Early Childhood Degree, three years working in nurseries, fourteen years as a Primary Teacher, and now a Certified Sleep Consultant, I bring a depth of child development expertise and I use this to tailor my approach to your baby.

My methods are nurturing and supportive, with no cry-it-out. I believe no two babies or families are the same, so I don't offer a one-size-fits-all plan. Your baby's temperament, development, routine, feeding and sleep patterns, and your family's lifestyle all shape the plan I create — which is why my approach gets results where generic advice hasn't worked before.

The result isn't just a few better nights — it's a real, lasting sleep transformation: longer stretches of sleep, calmer bedtimes, and a clear, confident routine that actually fits your life. Most importantly, you get to do it your way — gently, and without ever leaving your baby to cry alone.

Claire Payne Sleep Consultant

About Me

I'm a certified Sleep Consultant, a teacher and someone who truly understands how hard broken sleep can be.

Hi i’m Claire, the founder of Little Ember. I'm a mum of two, a teacher of fourteen years, and someone who once spent hours every night rocking and feeding my own baby to sleep, wondering if I'd ever feel rested again. That experience — and my Early Childhood degree and years working in nurseries — shaped the calm, room-based, no-cry-it-out approach I now use to support other families. If sleep struggles have taken over nap times, your evenings or nights, I'd love to be that guiding light, to help you find your way back to rest.

How sleep support works

  1. Discovery Call - A free 15 minute call where we have a chat about your little one’s sleep and get to know each other to make make sure I am the right fit for you and your family. No pressure or judgement.

  2. Analysis - Over the next 3-4 days you will record your little one’s sleep, activities, food and mood. This will give me a real insight into your little ones sleep and I will be able to find out the root cause for their sleep issues.

  3. A Consultation and Personalised Plan - A 45 minute video call where we go through everything together. By the end you will have a clear, tailored plan built around your little ones sleep needs, temperament and family routines and values.

  4. Implement the Plan- I will be there to support you via Whats app for three weeks, as you implement the plan. I’ll be there to celebrate the wins with you, answer questions or make tweaks to the plan, if needed. If you choose the Little Ember Glow package, you can implement the plan at your own pace, with the option to upgrade to the Light in the Night package.

  5. Enjoy the calmer more rested nights - feel like yourself again, enjoy your evenings back, connect with your partner again, have a clear understanding around night sleep and naps.

Good bedtime routine

Imagine this….

Having a calm predictable bedtime routine

Having your evenings back, without having to sit next to your little one’s bed

Not having to get up multiple times in the night

Feeling the anxiety around sleep drift away

Having more time for you and feeling like yourself again

My Services

Every baby is different, which is why I don't believe in one-size-fits-all sleep plans. I take time to really understand your baby's temperament, routine and sleep needs before building a plan that's tailored to your family — using nurturing, room-based methods that never involve leaving your little one to cry alone.
