How does it work?

It’s a cliché, but it’s true — asking for help is the hardest part. Start by booking a free initial consultation with me, and we can chat through any of the issues you’re experiencing.

In this 30-minute session we can identify where your feelings of overwhelm, frustration and uncertainty are centred, and from there select one of the Sleep Packages or Nutrition Packages that will best serve you and your family.

Our initial consultation is always obligation free, and we might identify needs of yours that are best treated by other health professionals. I’m here to help in whatever capacity I can, so let’s just start with a chat and go from there!

How is Wholebaby different from the other sleep training services out there?

Wholebaby is not a sleep training service. Our methods aren’t based on strict schedules or behavioural prescriptions, and I will never ask you to leave your baby to cry – it’s just not my way.

Wholebaby is a unique and custom education platform, that teaches practical and compassionate sleep and nutrition strategies for you and your family. We will work together to find your normal, through an attachment and connection-based approach to sleep, and evidence-based nutritional foundations, that stay true to your intuition, values and relationship.

During your free initial consultation you’ll learn more about my sleep and nutrition philosophies, and if you decide they’re not a good fit for you and your family, that’s ok too.

What are your qualifications?

I have been a Registered Nurse with NSW Health for 17 years. I hold an Advanced Diploma of Naturopathy (AIAS), and have recently completed training as a Baby Sleep and Wellbeing Specialist (islagrace.ca) and a Certified Nutrition Consultant (ohbabynutrition.com), specialising in Pregnancy, Postpartum and Babies.

I’m also a Mum to four beautiful young kids, so there isn’t much I haven’t seen, experienced, tried (or failed miserably at) when it comes to women and children’s sleep and nutrition challenges.

How do I know if Wholebaby is for me?

• Do you want clarity around the overwhelming amount of sleep information out there?

• Do you need help changing a practice that is no longer serving, you, your baby or your family anymore?

• Do you want someone who understands sleep to guide you to nurture your baby to get more of it?

• Are you missing ‘the village’ and want someone to listen and help provide practical guidance around food and sleep?

• Do you lack confidence when it comes to making decisions around your baby’s sleep routines?

• Are you exhausted and depleted from trying to navigate your postpartum journey and your baby’s sleep alone?

• Are you craving some predictability?

• Do you want the skills to guide your baby through challenging times?

• Are you seeking compassionate and easy to follow advice, unique to your baby and your family? 

If you answered yes to any of these questions, start by booking a free initial consultation.

Can you just wave a magic wand and fix it all for me?

Unfortunately, no. However, what I can do is give you the knowledge, practical tools and confidence to introduce attachment-led and connection-based strategies that will empower you and your baby to get more sleep, nourish your bodies and focus on enjoying this special time in your family’s life.

Wholebaby provides support and consistency. By turning up for our babies time and time again, we are teaching them that we will be there when they need us. When they know they are safe, they can overcome change.

However, we do offer custom built packages that can include any, all or a combination of my Sleep Packages or Nutrition Packages so what we can take a considered and holistic approach to helping you and your family. Start by booking your free initial consultation with Annabel.

Where are you located and what areas do you cover?

Wholebaby is located in beautiful Orange, in Central West NSW. Annabel can travel within the Central West region, but travel fees may apply depending on your location. Phone and/or video consultations can be arranged upon request. Contact us to help find a solution for you.
