Sleep Science Guru

Jenna is our magic sleep fairy godmother! Our 1 year old was waking 8-10 times a night, would scream intermittently and could only ever get to sleep from being rocked and held. Our backs and morale were completely broken. Jenna came in and within three days our baby was sleeping a 12 hour night with no intervention and could put herself to sleep on her own! Jenna’s warm and empathetic nature, along with her extensive knowledge of baby sleep science made us feel so comfortable with the process. Thank you Jenna, you’ve changed our lives!

My mental health never suffered as badly as when we were sleep training. Jenna, the owner, is a trained psychologist and why we chose the Sleep Science Guru. My gut was telling me there was something “off” with sleep training but trusted Jenna given her psychology degree. Unfortunately, she goes against the Australian Association for Infant Mental Health’s advice against any form of controlled crying (they have position statements published on their website). When I queried this, she tried to tell me that what we were doing was different. To be clear, we were leaving my son for timed intervals to cry in the hope he would “self settle”. I hope this is a genuine misconception from Jenna, and if so she further educates herself around attachment and biologically normal infant sleep. If you are reading these reviews because something isn’t sitting well for you around the prospect of sleep training, please know there are other ways and that holistic practitioners do exist.

Highly recommend!
For any mum and dad who are struggling with their little ones sleep this is worth the investment! We had the lovely Jenna out and after 1 week our little boy was sleeping through the night and 5 months later is still doing his 10 to 12 hours over night and 2 to 3 nice long day naps.

Thanks to Savannah our sleep and sanity has been saved! Our 10 month old went from taking up to an hour to get to sleep at night, with multiple resettles and up to 7 wakes throughout the night only to wake for the day way too early; to settling himself to sleep in around 5-10 mins and waking for only 1 feed, if not sleeping through and waking at an appropriate time, if not needing to be woken for the day!
This took only a couple of days and changes were even noticed on the first night!
Savannah has such a beautiful and gentle nature. She is very calm and reassuring and ensures that you feel happy, comfortable and confident with every step on the journey.
We can't recommend Savannah and Sleep Science Guru enough!

We can not thank Kate from Sleep Science Guru enough! Our little girl (2 yrs old) has had significant sleep problems throughout her life. We have tried many programs and services, all with little success. She improved remarkably quickly when we started the individualised program that we were provided and is now sleeping 11-12hr through the night nearly every night. Her day sleeps have also improved significantly, from most days having little to no sleep, to frequently enjoying a 1-2hr sleep in the day. We've noticed some problematic behaviours (associated with chronic sleep deprivation) decline and are watching our little girl blossom. I really enjoyed their gentle attachment-based approach, which can be tailored to suit your situation. We are still on the journey but are SO grateful for the help we've received. I would recommend to anyone experiencing sleep problems with their bub/child. Thank you Kate!

Kate is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and patient. She listened to my concerns without judgement and gave me encouragement when I needed it most (can she be my personal cheerleader, please?). We sought help from a few other sleep consultants prior to reaching out to the team at sleep science guru and I honestly regret not reaching out sooner. If you’re not in WA (like me) and you’re hesitant because you think you need someone to visit you in person, please give this wonderful a team a call first. I was amazed at how incredible their support was over the phone!

Can not recommend this service enough! X

I wanted to jump on and leave a well deserved review for Kate.

Kate and I have been talking on and off since my little guy was a newborn. He has mostly been a good sleeper but every now and then something needed tweaking and I need an expert to help.

The great thing about their programs is the flexibility, I often didn’t need more than 10-15 minutes and could save my ‘minutes’ for another call when I needed that go to advice again. So handy to have in your back pocket when you have those moments of doubt!

I found Kate to be so warm and reassuring but most importantly I found her to be trusting. She always gave me confidence in my ability and how much I knew my baby and just guided me with suggestions.

With the knowledge I already had from my first two kids and having Kate to guide me as well, so far our little man has mostly been a great sleeper, taking some of that stress away from having 3 kids.

I know who I’ll be calling when we hit another bump in the road or need some advice. Thanks Kate!

Jenna is such a kind and genuine soul who has a loving and gentle approach when it comes to baby sleep. Science based practices make for a successful strategy and I can honestly say that what we learned at her course has made the newborn period so much less stressful and much more pleasant. I cannot recommend her workshops enough!

My fiancé and I met Jenna for a workshop and tips when I was about 35 weeks pregnant! I could not recommend her services any more! She is AMAZING! Her tips are unreal and her knowledge is first class!
With her help our baby was doing 6-8 hour stretches from 2 weeks old and this is still going today and he is 7 weeks old.
We saw her again when my son was 7 weeks old as I was having issues with him sleeping during the day. After her home visit and advice I have had no issues putting him to sleep in under 10 minutes on my own! Absolute life saver!

I attended one of Jenna's Mother's group consultations and it was amazing. She got 8 babies sleeping together at the same time! My bub was sleeping long stretches at night but i found her tips on self settling and day naps priceless. Thanks again Jenna!

My daughter had recently started daycare (at 19 months) and her sleep went all out of whack! She was an amazing sleeper and then went through a huge regression! We were exhausted and drained and tried “sleep training” that we had used in the past which was not working for her this time. Jenna offered great advice, new ideas and tips that I would otherwise have not thought of. She really listened to our issues and helped make sense of the situation. She was also great at checking in to monitor how we were doing through our retraining. I would highly recommend her, she worked her wonders on us and we now have a 22 month old who finally sleeps through the night once again, in her own bed!

Jenna’s work is amazing! She really knows what’s she’s talking about and has so many helpful tips. I highly recommend her!

Jenna’s sleep program is incredibly thorough and I felt that it was far more holistic compared to a previous experience with another specialist. I had become highly anxious and I was desperate for something to work. Not only was Jenna able to turn things around with our 5 month old, but she went above and beyond with follow up support. There was genuine care from Jenna and her evidence based practice provided me with the confidence I needed to get back on track with my son’s sleep habits. Thank you Jenna!

Jenna has blown us away with how passionate and caring she is for what she does and who she works with. Her strategies are so effective and she empowers her clients with knowledge and confidence. She is gentle, encouraging, and truly loves what she does- thats why we love her!

Jenna is just amazing! My bub was a terrible sleeper and Jenna gave me some amazing verbal information at a mums group meeting that has changed our sleeping game completely! We went from 5 to 7 wake ups every night down to 1 or 2. Happy bub and mama here thanks to some sleep! Could not reccomend her enough!

I contacted Jenna when my baby was 7 months old, I heard back almost immediately, we had a phone discussion that night and we begun training the next day. We had previously sought the help of another sleep consultant which had initially helped but after a couple of months things began to fall apart again. I was obsessed with rigid nap times and wake intervals and sleep was a constant source of anxiety. Freya was taking up to an hour to get to sleep each night, waking up as early as 5am and was in bed by 5.30pm at night which meant my partner was unable to see her at all during his work week. Within a day of Jenna's new plan, my daughter was chatting herself to sleep within minutes of being put to bed. She helped us to adjust Freya's bed time so that she gets to spend time with her dad each night when he has finished work and she now sleeps in until 7.30 most mornings (yay sleep-in!). Most importantly Jenna taught us that babies are not robots and that while a routine is great it is also okay to stray from it in order to live our lives! We get to spend more quality time as a family, we actually leave the house on a regular basis and we might even go out for dinner one of these days I would encourage anyone struggling with sleep to contact Jenna, she is kind, realistic and has changed our lives so much for the better! Thanks Jenna xx

I was breastfeeding my baby to sleep every night and wondered how I would ever stop? ! (even though at 15 months old this mummy was ready.for my own personal reasons!)
My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our personalised sleep plan for our baby Harvey. Harvey goes off to sleep on his own - HAPPY! He is now sleeping like a champion and we feel soooo confident and relaxed knowing what we are going to get (rather than the ever changing guessing game we were used to)
Jenna is amazing! She is so personable and was there every step of the way which set us up for SUCCESS! Her ongoing guidance and support was game changing! She answered all of our questions.
We highly recommend Jenna for anyone needing a little bit of help! You will
wish you did it sooner, it’s worth the investment! Thanks so much Jenna xx

Jenna is an absolute angel, we wish we had contacted her sooner.
Our son was 16 months, still being fed during the night and waking every 2-3 hours, to say we were sleep deprived was an understatement. We had tried other sleep avenues with no prevail and to be honest we thought there is no way anyone could fix our issue.
We came across Jenna via Instagram, did a phone consult and booked her in for the following week. The moment she comes into your house she brings with her such a calming presence and we instantly felt at ease, our son was even drawn to her friendly nature.
Jenna tailored a plan that suited our parenting style and was exactly what we needed.
By night two our son was sleeping through the night, no wake ups, no tears and no more feeds. Our lives have completely changed that we now get sleep.
If you have been thinking about booking in Jenna, don't wait, I promise she is worth it.

I was lucky enough to host the mothers group package, and WOW what incredible value for money. Jenna is such a beautiful passionate soul! She gave lots of general information on our babies ages then spent alot of time answering everyones individual questions. 110% reccomend

Jenna has the most beautiful nature, she is always bubbly and happy to help and I feel she really cares about her clients; she goes above and beyond. Our three year old was waking constantly, having nightmares and bed time was always such an anxious process for us all. Now, master three sleeps through the night, no nightmares and going to bed routine is smooth sailing and enjoyable for us all. I highly recommend Jenna - as a parent its the best investment you will spend.
