Stories of Moms Who Kissed Goodbye to Sleepless Nights

Jessica & Peter
Arthur (11 months old)

We’ve been working with Aya on sleep training for the past few weeks, and I’m honestly so happy with how far we’ve come!

Arthur just turned one, and for months he’d been sleeping downstairs in a travel cot so he wouldn’t wake his older siblings, but he was still waking multiple, MULTIPLE times a night. We spent hours pacing the floor, rocking him back to sleep, completely stuck in a routine we just couldn’t break.

From the start, Aya completely understood what we wanted: to gently teach Arthur to settle himself, move him back into his cot upstairs, and do it all without endless tears (because we hate hearing him cry!). Aya’s gentle approach and personalised plan were exactly what we needed! She really listened to us and created something that fitted our family perfectly.

Sleep training with Aya has honestly been the best decision we’ve made for Arthur and for all of us! We never thought we’d be sleeping through the night again, but here we are! Arthur now drifts off happily on his own, sleeps soundly in his cot, and wakes up rested (and so do we!). I still can’t believe I’m writing this!

Aya is warm, professional, and always there if you need advice or reassurance. She’s calm, patient, friendly, and everything you could wish for in a sleep consultant. She is so lovely and we cannot recommend her enough!

Our only regret? Not starting sooner!

Thank you so much, Aya, for giving our family the gift of sleep again. 💛

Zein
Mum to Hamza (1 year 10 months)

I have been doing sleep training with Aya for the last 3 weeks. My son is 22 months, been a horrible sleeper since birth; waking up every two hours for 22 months, co slept with us, would have milk in a baby bottle 4 times a night. I wanted to try sleep training so many times but was so scared it will be super tough on him, he’s a very emotional baby, and we travel quite a lot, so was rly scared about this step. He’s very attached to me as he sees only me most of days, and when we travel the change of scenery makes him more attached.

I discussed all of this with Aya and told her how guilty I felt for starting to sleep train and move him to another room, but to be honest, I physically couldn’t handle it anymore, I really felt that not taking care of myself and having him extremely reliant on me is not the answer.

What’s amazing about Aya to be honest is she gave me my slow sweet time in this transition! With every stage whenever I felt that I needed more time to stay closer to him she’d advise me on how. And the most important thing is that she explained something I didn’t expect we CAN do during sleep training: is to soother our babies! No consequences when they’re frustrated or emotional especially at the beginning stages.

The approach was super gentle and the flexibility I had with my son during it and how we altered things was perfect. I can’t thank her enough!

And I understand how a lot of mothers are so scared to do this ! You can ask Aya how many time I postponed it 😅🫠 but I’m such a calmer mom now and a better one for that !

Selina
Mum to Connie (11 months old)

I never thought I’d see the day when my baby, me and my partner manage to all get some sleep!!

My daughter who is now 11 months has always been awful at bed time, from a newborn, she was a breast fed to sleep baby and would never settle in her cot, mosses basket or next to me! She would constantly scream as soon as she was put in and I just did not have the knowledge or skills to be able to help her to sleep as I didn’t know what to do! We just got used to no sleep!

The day time was the same, she wouldn’t sleep unless she was on me ( which of course is lovely but there comes a time when baby needs to learn to sleep on there own and chores need to get done)! With Aya’s help she has managed to set us a plan that suits my daughters needs as well as my preferences and helped me to finally support my daughter to have a good bedtime and daytime nap routine! She now goes down in her cot awake and sleeps most of the night (with one or two wakes – which is super normal) in her cot without being fed to sleep! I never thought I’d see the day!! We was all completely drained exhausted and I was at the end with no hope of her ever settling in her cot let alone actually sleeping!! I was going almost all night everyday with maybe 2 hours sleep max!

But Aya has just been absolutely fantastic she supported both me and my partner through the whole process, even late at night when it was a struggle at first, and even with baby being poorly! I could not of done this without her support and I now have the knowledge and strength to know what to do and how to help my baby sleep at night!

Undertaking sleep training has been one of the best things we have done, and Aya is such a lovely person who has reassured me, supported me when I was struggling to get through and answered all my questions and tailored the plan just how I wanted it, I struggled with the transition as I was so used to having my daughter with me due to not sleeping in her cot, but Aya made the process so comfortable.

Aya you truly have been incredible, I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for my family! Sleep is just so important and we all now feel refreshed and everything is now easier with a good nights sleep!! I highly recommend this to all mummy’s that are going through struggles at night time or day time, there is sleep at the end of the tunnel!!

Badia
Mum to Amr (3 1/2 years old)

Aya is an angel who has completely  transformed my 3 and a half year old’s sleep (and my life) in just two weeks. My son used to wake up multiple times a night and would refuse to sleep unless he was cuddling me. It would often take him a little under an hour to fall asleep.

Now having completed Aya’s program I just tuck him in bed, kiss him and walk out of the room and he happily sleeps until the morning! I cannot recommend aya and her services more she is truly amazing!!!!

Juliette
Mum to Noah (4 years old)

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Aya for her incredible sleep training program. After the birth of our daughter, our son Noah, who was once a great sleeper began waking up frequently at night and sneaking into our bed. 

Aya helped me understand the reasons behind Noah’s behaviour and provided an easy-to-follow program that involved Noah and minimised fuss. Her guidance taught me the importance of patience and structure, which I realised I was lacking by often giving in to his demands. I had no idea that by giving into demands I was making Noah feel uneasy. With time, by putting boundaries back in place – Noah’s behaviour changed for the better.

With her support, we reinstated structure, and now Noah sleeps through the night. Our family is so much happier and well-rested. Thank you for your wisdom and encouragement.

Blossom, Mohammad & Baby Khalifa
Parents to Khalifa (5 weeks out)

As first-time parents, we had no idea that an overtired baby was even a thing. Some nights, bedtime was so stressful – our little one would become completely hysterical and we felt lost trying to calm him down.

We started working with Aya when baby Khalifa was around 5 weeks old, and we saw results from the very first day and night. It wasn’t all super easy, but with patience and consistency, nap times became so much smoother, and bedtime turned into a lovely calm routine rather than a battle.

The changes have been incredible – Khalifa is so much calmer now, he hardly ever cries and we’ve seen a huge improvement in his overall comfort. He has fewer spit-ups, no longer needs pacifier during the day (only for naps and bedtime), and his night wake-ups have reduced from three to just one (sometimes two on an odd night).

We are beyond grateful that we chose to get this guidance – not just for our baby but for our own sanity and mental health. Aya’s support has been truly invaluable, and we can’t recommend her enough to any new parents struggling with sleep.

Katie
Mum to Isabelle (1 year 6 months)

I can’t thank Aya enough for her personalized sleep approach. My daughter, Isabelle, always struggled with sleep, and nothing seemed to work. I was initially worried about sleep training due to concerns over the cry it out method. Aya addressed these concerns head-on, explaining the process and what to expect with precision and accuracy. I especially appreciated the clear structure and guidance she provided. Even on challenging days, Aya was always there to help us understand and tackle the root of the issue.

Before we knew it, Isabelle was sleeping independently!

I also learned so much about sleep cycles— a real eye-opener for me. It was intriguing to discover that even as adults, we wake up during the night, but the key is to return to sleep independently by joining the sleep cycles together. Thanks to Aya, not only does Isabelle sleep well, but I’ve also regained my time and peace of mind. I’m incredibly grateful for Aya’s support and expertise.

Mariam
Mum to Zayed (2 years 5 months)

Aya I cant thank you enough for the patience, time and support you have given us through Zayeds sleep journey. Zayed can now sleep independently and confidently thanks to your expertise and kindness. I thought the first day was going to be so so difficult, but you made it a smooth transition. It wasn’t easy to transition my son to his own crib because we as parents are also emotionally and physically attached to him. You reassured me that I’m on the right path and to not give up.  

Im truly blessed to know you!
