Leanne you helped me put my baby to sleep. Your compassion, knowledge and suggestions were lifesaving. Your response to my emails was so fast and my baby is now napping all on her own. Your wisdom and support allowed all our family to sleep.

Regina Mosh

I wouldn’t recommend. Very expensive, for a generic pdf guide and minimal support. I found most of the information in the guide on free sleep Instagram pages, google, and YouTube. Approach might work if you’re happy to let your baby cry.

Leanne is amazing. She taught our baby how to sleep through the night and in doing so returned our sanity. She is so amazing in her knowledge of all things to do with your precious babies sleep. I cannot recommend her highly enough if you are needing support and love during the challenging time of becoming new parents. She returned to us our sense of peace. A must for every new parent. Our baby now sleeps soundly from 7am to 7pm thanks to Mother in Touch.

So incredibly grateful for Leanne! My son who is 12 months never slept through the night. We tried a sleep consultant at 5 months who ghosted us a few days into the program despite my son showing no improvement. We then tried the O’Connell family centre at 10 months which was traumatic for both my son and I. We then found Leanne who has been a dream to work with. We saw results within a day and my son has been sleeping consistently through the night since. Leanne checked in daily which made me feel incredibly supported. Thank you Leanne!

I reached out to Leanne in desperation. I was 19 weeks pregnant and exhausted. My 14 month old was refusing naps, bedtime was a nightmare, she’d wake frequently at night wanting to breastfeed for comfort and ended up in my bed. My main goal was just to stop breastfeeding but in 2 days my daughter was off the breast, napping on schedule and sleeping through the night. Leanne changed our nap schedule and that made all the difference. She was so supportive and reassuring throughout the process and really quick to respond to all my questions. I am so grateful for Leanne I wish I contacted her sooner! 🙏

Leanne was incredible in helping us solve our 3-year-old daughter’s sleep issues, she had never been a good sleeper, and after a great discussion and precise instructions from Leanne our daughter slept considerably better on the 1st night! we now don’t have to worry as our daughter sleeps through the night like clockwork. We couldn’t have done it without Leanne and Mother in Touch. We could not recommend this enough to any struggling parents out there who need a good night’s sleep with their little ones.

Tim Fletcher

Our bub suffered from a long sleep regression following several ear infections. We saw a GP however they are only able to see the outer ear and we were concerned that with repeated wake ups, sometimes 90minutes at a time, our little one might need overnight testing at a sleep clinic and/or referral to an ENT specialist for grommets. We tried an appointment with Leanne after reading her reviews and had an amazing result right away on the first night. We discovered our bub had been overtired and needed an early dinner, less stimulation and earlier bedtime. Following Leanne’s sleep schedule and techniques our bub was able to fall asleep in just 4 minutes and began sleeping through from 7:30PM. Now after 3 weeks regaining a restful night for all of us, we are still having the life changing sleep schedule and he falls asleep without any tears. Big thanks to Leanne

We had an incredible experience with Leanne, our sleep consultant. Our 5 month old baby was struggling with frequent wake-ups overnight and cat naps during the day. Leanne provided us with a personalised schedule that completely reorganised our day and night routine. Within just 2 days our baby was responding remarkably well. He was happier during his wake windows, feeding improved and most importantly he was able to do long stretches of uninterrupted sleep at night. We’re deeply grateful for Leanne’s expertise and support.

Leanne has been amazing. Our 11 month old now sleeps through the night, such an incredible change for our family. She was so easy to work with, so helpful and was always willing to answer any questions I had no matter when.
We will be recommending her to all our friends and family who have little ones struggling with sleep and routine. Thank you Leanne❤️

My husband and I couldnt thank Leanne enough if we tried!
My little babe was 4 months old when her sleep patterns started to change. Waking up numerous times a night unsettled, reintroducing bottles during the night – it felt like a major setback. We reached out to Leanne who immediately helped us introduce a new day / night schedule.
Leanne attended our home to help us overnight and I cant suggest this enough!!!! She helped us teach our girl how to self settle with the most gentle and fulfilling approach. Within a week, my girl was back to sleeping all the way through the night. Weeks later, she is just thriving (we all are!!) and enjoying her 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep. If by chance she does wake, she is able to self settle herself, eliminating the need of either my husband or I having to get up! A dream. If you are considering approaching Leanne, dont think twice!!!

Leanne was a life saver for our family! After the first phone call we implemented the sleeping plan and noticed a change immediately (exceeded all our expectations).

We had 1:1 support, check ins and with prompt responses to help through the day for nap times.
We have gone from hourly night wakes, feeding to sleep, 100% contact napping during the day to a happy baby independently sleeping and a much better feeding experience. We can’t thank Leanne enough for her help and support.
