Vanessa was a calm and stable voice in our troubles. She listened and took the time to carefully understand the issues before compiling a bespoke and tailored plan for us to follow. Her regular and consistent support was key to getting us through the initial hurdle and our little boy is now well on the way to good sleep.
Thanks so much again, Vanessa!

It feels nothing short of miraculous that, after over a year of not sleeping for more than a couple of hours at a time and unwillingly co sleeping, Henry is not only in his own bed in his room but he's also regularly sleeping for over 4hours at a time.

The plan that you formulated took into account all the challenges that living in lockdown presented us with as well as maintaining the good sleep habits of Emily.

Henry now has a regular bed time, at which he actually goes to sleep (no more 2 -3 hr settling marathons with a screaming baby) and we've reclaimed a bit of an evening for ourselves.  We couldn't have done this without your support!  I'm beyond delighted :-)

We had been struggling with our twin’s potty skills regression. It seemed to be a dead end for us until we were introduced to Vanessa from Family Matters. Her method was very exact and structured. We followed it and after 5 days our girl was going potty without issues.

The next week we started with our boy. It took him 2 days. We looked at each other in disbelief, surprised as if it wasn’t real. We have Vanessa to thank for giving us support and structure. She was there the whole time to remind us that we had to keep going, that we were on the right path. Vanessa also took time to give us pointers to deal with some other unwanted behaviours. The experience was a total success.

Our family can’t recommend Vanessa enough for parents who need a knowledgeable specialist who will guide them out of whatever “dark tunnel” they feel they are in. In our case, her help took a huge weight from our lives. 

My husband and I would spend most of our evenings trying to get our 2 year old son to stay in his own room and sleep there all night. Vanessa gave us the advice, empowerment and encouragement to change things and my husband and I can now enjoy our evenings together again. Something I thought would never happen! I would not hesitate to recommend her services and support."

As a first time Mummy, trying to navigate the crazy changes to my little one's sleep routine has been tough to say the least.  But we have been so lucky to have Vanessa. She has been amazing and given so many great tips already.  She is also very real with it all and knows that life gets in the way sometimes and you have to do a routine that suits the needs and demands of your family.  I love how adaptable she is and also that she doesn't believe that 'one size fits all'.  Would recommend her to anyone and am already grateful for the advice I know she will continue to give as my baby grows older and goes through future sleep changes."

It is so hard to put my appreciation into words.....Family Matters has given me confidence in my parenting abilities, through guided techniques and routines! Vanessa listens and gives advice in a non judgmental way. Her help has transformed the way we communicate with our children, thank you so much for all your support."

Vanessa is supportive, practical, kind and realistic. She listens and gives real thought to her advice. She is a real find. Thank you Vanessa for empowering me to get more sleep and help me grow as a mother, and so let my children blossom."

UK Family Matters has been a lifesaver. My 4 month old baby only catnapped during the day and wouldn’t go to sleep in his cot unless he was rocked to sleep. At night, he was only really sleeping in 2-3 hour chunks so I was constantly up in the night trying to feed him back to sleep. I was desperate for a solution so that I could enjoy my time with my baby without worrying about sleep. UK Family Matters were there every step of the way, and I am so relieved I contacted them. I really wanted help that would suit my baby as he grew and developed, and UK Family Matters provided a flexible package that tackled issues one at a time, and at an age appropriate for my baby. It made the whole process more manageable and was personalised for us as a family. They were with us through some of the tough moments as well as the victories, and it made me feel that we weren’t on our own and there was a friend talking us through it all. My baby is now 6 months old, waking only once in the night and is put in his cot awake and he is asleep within 10 minutes. They enabled us to be the parents we wanted to be, and I can’t recommend them enough."

Just wanted to say a big thank you for all your amazing support and advice over the past 8 months, I really couldn’t have got through it without you and all your wisdom. Future clients will be so lucky to have you and will grow in confidence with you guiding them."
