Marisa Tait

My name is Marisa and I am a Holistic Sleep Coach and Gentle Parenting Advocate.

I have two children aged 14 and 11, and have experienced sleep challenges with both of them throughout their lives. I remember my eldest starving my husband and I of sleep from the moment he entered the world, looking up at us with his big beautiful eyes in the middle of every night for many many months!

At that time we frantically read book upon book about ‘getting into a routine’ and nothing resonated with us, because all the methods involved crying it out. It just didn’t make sense to us, as we were parenting gently and responsively throughout the day and it didn’t seem right to ignore him when he most needed us at night. In the end, we used a gentle sleep coach to help us to get him to at least settle at night for a few hours and I remember hoping that I could help other families in the same situation at some point too.

Later, when it was time for school, we decided to home educate. This has given me a wealth of experience and a natural interest in how children develop and thrive.

Fast forward 14 years and my eldest is at school, I still home educate my youngest and I have qualified as a Holistic Sleep Coach. I enjoy helping families to gain confidence in their parenting choices and to use gentle methods to get a better night’s sleep.

I also help families with understanding the scientifically proven benefits of attachment parenting, as well as giving advice on home schooling.
