About Me
Rebecca Askew
Hi, I’m Rebecca, a Sleep Consultant, Parenting Coach, and Sleep Consultant Trainer dedicated to helping families navigate the challenges of baby and child sleep, as well as behavioural struggles.
Hi, I am Rebecca. I am a mum to four incredible children and Grannie to four delightful grandchildren. They are the primary motivation behind my career as a Sleep Consultant and Family Support Specialist .
I have a First Class Honours degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Primary Education. I am currently a PhD student researching the impact of toddler sleep on parents’ physical and mental health.
Honestly, none of my children slept through the night, which led to me feeling drained and disengaged much of the time.
After dedicating my time to raising my children, I pursued a degree in Psychology, even though I was the oldest student in my year! To my surprise, I graduated with a First Class Honours degree. At the same time, I became a grandmother to a little boy named Noah, who, like his daddy, had trouble sleeping.
The common response from health professionals that “some babies just don’t sleep” didn’t sit well with me anymore; I knew the science behind sleep. I wasn’t prepared to just accept that answer for my grandson’s sleep like I did 27 years previously for his daddy. As a family, we found help in the form of an amazing Sleep Consultant, and I found my passion. Within six months, I trained as a Sleep Consultant with the same company, starting my own business as soon as I qualified. After helping hundreds of families with their baby/child’s sleep issues, I realised just how many families needed help and that there was a need for more Sleep Consultants.
Using my experience as a Child Psychologist and as a mum and Grannie, I also help families through the everyday challenges of parenting. From navigating toddler tantrums, tackling fussy eating, overcoming separation anxiety, or starting the potty training journey, I offer compassionate, practical, and non-judgmental support tailored to your family’s unique needs.
I love every minute of it.
My mission
My mission is to empower families with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to create a peaceful, well-rested, and connected home. Through expert sleep consulting, parenting support, and child behaviour guidance, I help parents navigate the challenges of raising children with science-backed, compassionate solutions. I believe that no parent should feel alone or powerless when facing sleep struggles or behavioural challenges. That’s why I’ve dedicated my career to not only working directly with families but also training the next generation of Sleep Consultants, ensuring that more parents have access to the support they need. My goal is to make expert guidance accessible and transformative, so every family can thrive.
