About Sleep by Emma
Hello, my name is Emma, founder of ‘Sleep by Emma’, a practicing NHS Midwife and qualified Sleep Consultant for babies and toddlers.
​
I have been a qualified Midwife for 10 years (BSc Midwifery 1st Class Honours) working for the NHS and now I’m back from maternity leave, I work part-time two days a week as a community Midwife. I have worked for many years on Labour Ward and out in the community doing a job I am so passionate about and truly love.

2. I agree should a Post-Consultation review date and time be arranged 24 hours’ notice is required to reschedule this.

5. I understand that any changes made to my baby or child’s sleep, feeding, routine are suggestions and I as the parent/carer/guardian am responsible for choosing to implement. I understand results are entirely dependent on the commitment from myself as the parent to consistently follow the plan and that no guarantees can be given due to the many factors which impact on sleep and behaviours.
6. I understand goals may not be achieved during the period of working together but that Sleep by Emma will provide a range of tools and suggestions to support me in working towards my aims.
