About Me
Meet Marie – Mum of Three and Certified Child Sleep Consultant based in Co. Monaghan.
When I became a mum, I expected some sleepless nights. But I wasn’t prepared for just how hard it would feel when the exhaustion didn’t pass or how frustrating it would be to follow all the “right” advice and still struggle. Our sleep issues with my eldest took a huge toll on my mental health, and my confidence as a parent.
The real breaking point came when my second baby was born. I had just started to get a handle on the sleepless nights with my first, and suddenly, it all felt impossible. Trying to juggle a newborn while still dealing with my eldest's sleep issues and helping him adjust to having a new sibling - it was too much to manage.
I know what it’s like to feel trapped in survival mode. To dread bedtime because you know the battle that’s coming. To spend hours comforting, feeding, or lying next to your child, only for them to wake again minutes later. To start questioning yourself - What am I doing wrong? Why can’t I figure this out like other parents seem to.
And I know what it feels like to finally get help and see real change.
When I finally got the right support, everything shifted.
My little boy became a happier, more settled version of himself. Our evenings became ours again. And I finally felt more like me - with the energy and patience I had been missing for so long. That experience changed everything for me.
I knew I wanted to help other families going through the same thing.
I enrolled in the Family Sleep Institute in 2021, drawn to its comprehensive and evidence-based curriculum and I gained a deep understanding of how sleep works - and how to improve it in a way that feels realistic, flexible, and guilt-free.
I became a certified sleep consultant ini2022 and I am now a proud member of The International Association of Child Sleep Consultants and The Child Sleep Society. I continue to stay up to date with the latest research so I can offer families practical, science-backed solutions that actually work.
I founded Mellow Child Sleep Solutions because I never want another parent to feel as lost, exhausted, or stuck as I did.
Sleep shouldn’t be this hard. And it doesn’t have to be.
I believe sleep support should feel doable and fit you life, not complicate it. No rigid rules. No guilt. Just expert guidance that works for your child, your family, and aligns with your parenting preferences.
Because when your child sleeps well, everything changes. You get your life back. Your energy. Your joy in parenting.
You don’t have to accept exhaustion as the norm.
Let’s Make Sleep Easier.
