Gentle sleep support for working parents to help your little one - and you - sleep better before your work day starts.

Better Sleep is Possible!

And I’m here to help you achieve it.

About Me

Hi I’m Rachelle, certified Sleep Coach and founder of The Sleep Diaries. As a mum of two, I know exactly what it’s like to feel the weight of sleepless nights. I’ve been in your shoes - endless patting and 2am Googling my way through those multiple wake ups.

Before starting The Sleep Diaries, I spent over 15 years working in coaching, wellbeing, and people development, supporting individuals and teams through periods of change, pressure, and transition. Now, I use that same expertise to support parents who are either on maternity leave or juggling work alongside the challenges of sleepless nights.

I believe in gentle, responsive methods that truly make a difference. I’m not here to give you a “one-size-fits-all” plan or suggest any cry-it-out techniques. I know what works — and what doesn’t — and I also know that better sleep isn’t just for your child — it’s for you too. Parents deserve rest, and I’m here to help make that happen, step by step.

Being back at work and up all night doesn’t have to be your normal. Take a look at my sleep packages to find out how I can support you.

  • "Within less than 2 weeks I had gone from having to help my baby fall asleep for every nap to being able to put him in his cot and walk away whilst he drifted off happily. Thank you Rachelle"

    Client Testimonial

  • "Thank you so much Rachelle!! I would thoroughly recommend The Sleep Diaries for all your baby sleep needs. The support I received was invaluable and having a well rested baby is the best thing I could have asked for."

    Client Testimonial

  • "Rachelle really listened to what was currently happening and what we wanted to achieve. I felt really supported right from the first conversation with her and never felt judged! The plan was easy to follow and Rachelle was on hand to answer questions and offer support"

    Client Testimonial

  • "Rachelle really gets it! She really listens and is responsive throughout. Her experience means she really relates to how challenging it is when your seriously sleep deprived and contending with returning to work. Not only does she help with baby sleeping but she gives advice and guidance to help prepare for your return to work which can feel like a minefield, especially when living on no sleep! The support she offers is invaluable, definitely money well spent and I would thoroughly recommend her to any parent who needs support"

    Client Testimonial

  • "We went from spending hours trying to get our 6 month old to sleep to being able to put her down in her cot independently and she would happily drift off. I really can’t thank you enough for the support you’ve given me not only with my babies sleep but also about my return to work which I felt really anxious about. Thank you Rachelle"

    Client Testimonial

  • "I approached Rachelle for support with my newborn who would spend most of the day asleep but most of the night awake. Rachelle gave me amazing advice on how I could help my baby switch around their day and night sleep, which I was amazed at how quickly she did, as well as other tips and advice on how to promote better sleep all round. My baby is sleeping so much better and I'm hoping she continues to do so. I truly can't thank you enough"
