SLEEP & MOTHERHOOD FOR PROFESSIONALS

BY MAMA MATTERS

Modern, responsive sleep support for professionals.

A 6-week course with real-life strategies - because parents deserve better than ‘drowsy but awake’.

You want to make a real impact in your work with mums and babies—but it’s hard when outdated, sleep-training-focused advice dominates the conversation.

Families deserve better. It’s time for a change.

Introducing Making Waves: Sleep Support for Professionals, a six-week online course designed to empower you with real-world, attachment-focused strategies to confidently support families through the sleep challenges of modern motherhood.

If you’re a GP, midwife, doula, IBCLC, psychologist, social worker, OT, or any professional working with families, and you’ve been saying:

“I wish I had better tools and resources to guide parents.”
“I feel like I’m stuck between outdated advice and my instincts.”
“I want to give families strategies that actually help—without adding pressure or guilt.”

…then this is for you.

You don’t need to be a sleep specialist to make a real difference. If sleep is a recurring topic in your work (which, let’s be honest, it always is), this course will give you the understanding, confidence, and practical tools to support families with clarity and compassion—without resorting to mainstream sleep training narratives.

And right now, you have the exclusive opportunity to join the Founders Round.

Starting April 22nd, 2024, this six-week experience will be drip-fed weekly as we build it together. As a Founder, you’ll be part of the first group to access and shape this course, with live discussions, direct support, and lifetime access to all future updates.

This isn’t about step-by-step sleep programs or generic fixes—it’s about giving you the confidence, language, and practical tools to navigate real-world sleep conversations with families in a way that actually helps.

Join the Founders Round for just $497 (full price $997).

OUTdated sleep advice is failing families.
You can be the solution.


Families are overwhelmed by harmful sleep advice. Professionals are left frustrated, stuck, and unsure how to provide the support parents truly need.

Professionals like you are on the frontlines, supporting families with the best of intentions - but the challenges are undeniable:

  • Outdated sleep training methods dominate. Families are left confused and pressured by advice that doesn’t align with their instincts.

  • You feel stuck between what you know and what parents hear elsewhere. Without the right tools, it’s easy to second-guess yourself or feel unsure.

  • There’s a lack of evidence-based, practical resources. You want to help parents feel empowered but often don’t have the concise tools they need.

  • Parents are overwhelmed and exhausted. They come to you looking for guidance, but mainstream advice often leads them further into stress and guilt.

Maybe this leaves you feeling frustrated, stretched thin, and stuck trying to navigate outdated advice that goes against what you know to be true. And worse? Families miss out on the support they deserve.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

What If You Could Confidently Support Families While Changing the Sleep Narrative for Good?


Imagine guiding families with evidence-based, attachment-focused strategies that reduce anxiety, build connection, and truly make a difference - without resorting to outdated sleep training advice.

I’m Fiona, and I know the challenges professionals face when it comes to supporting families with sleep. That’s why I created Making Waves: Foundational Sleep Support for Professionals.

This course is designed to:

  • Give you confidence in discussing infant sleep and attachment-based approaches.

  • Bust harmful myths that dominate the sleep conversation.

  • Equip you with simple, actionable tools you can share with parents - whether you have 5 minutes or 50.

  • Help you make a difference, even in short interactions, by providing practical solutions that align with parents' instincts.

This course includes 4 pre-recorded modules, downloadable guides, and client-friendly resources, all designed to provide clarity, confidence, and compassion in your work.

P.S. By joining the Founders Round, as well as founders pricing you’ll also get exclusive access to a private space on the Circle platform, where you can reflect, connect, and share insights with like-minded professionals.
