About Blissful Bambino
Our sleep coaching approach
Our main focus is to nurture confidence in babies and children when it comes to sleep. We do this using our gentle and intuitive approach and by working in collaboration with parents, as they are the experts in their children.
Personalised support, tailored to your family
We believe it is crucial to truly understand our families and their unique dynamics in order to create tailored sleep plans. As parents ourselves, we know how overwhelming sleep deprivation can be. It can cloud your judgment and make it hard to find a clear way forward. That’s why all of our support is personalised, offering guidance that provides parents with the clarity and confidence to navigate their sleep challenges. We know that more settled sleep for babies and children is achievable, and our passion for helping families reach that goal shines through in everything we do.
Empowering parents with gentle, effective techniques
Parenting can be challenging, and everyone needs a little support along the way. Our goal is to share our knowledge and skills, drawing from our professional backgrounds, to provide parents with gentle and effective techniques. We focus on empowering families to discover their own path, using methods that align with their values and needs. Our holistic approach considers the full scope of family life, ensuring that our tailored support plans lead to positive, long-lasting outcomes.
About Faye & Sophie
Since meeting in 2007, we have formed a strong friendship and found a mutual professional interest in supporting parents overcome sleep challenges with their babies and children. We created Blissful Bambino in 2012 based on our passion and joint expertise.

I am the Co-Founder of Blissful Bambino and been working in my role as a Sleep Coach since October 2012. I have two wonderful children, Lily and Felix, although they are not so little now at 16 and 22! I have always had a passion for developing positive sleep habits and focused on putting everything I knew into practice with my two children. I’ve worked as a childcare professional for over twenty years, but I wanted to share my knowledge and passion about sleep with even more families in my role as a sleep coach. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, as I absolutely love it and its so rewarding. It’s wonderful being able to help families overcome issues they may face and I believe that 'consistency is key' to achieve success.

Previously, as a childcare professional I worked as a nanny with individual families, as a nursery nurse within childcare settings, a maternity nurse for twins and I was also the deputy manager of a nursery for four years, until I left that role to have my first baby in 2002.
Through my career I have built up a wealth of experience and knowledge about babies and children, their behaviour, sleeping habits and personal relations. Specifically, I have spent a lot of time advising parents on how to achieve positive sleep associations and good sleeping habits within their children.

I am the Co-Founder of Blissful Bambino and been working in my role as a Sleep Coach since October 2012. I have two beautiful children, Jessica and Oliver aged 14 and 10. Thanks to the lack of sleep, overwhelming amount of conflicting advice and not knowing where to find support as a first time mum, Jessica was my inspiration to become a sleep coach. I am so pleased I did, as I absolutely love it! I have tried and tested all of the techniques and responses that we use and I believe that this helps me support parents with understanding and compassion. I love empowering parents and giving them the confidence to achieve their goals.

Previously, as a midwife I worked for the NHS for 13 years, mainly in the community looking after couples during pregnancy, in labour, birth and in the postnatal period. I have spent time preparing parents for childbirth and parenthood, by leading antenatal preparation sessions to large groups. I have also helped hundreds of parents with those early weeks at home, providing advice on sleep patterns, settling and soothing their newborns and helping them adjust to their new family dynamics.
We both feel very passionately that sleep coaching does not have to be a distressing process and that realistic goals can be achieved by following a gentle and nurturing path. This is much easier to achieve when the parents are provided with expert support and advice.
We have worked with hundreds of wonderful families since we started, both face to face and online. Our role is so rewarding and it’s an honour to be welcomed into a family, to support them on their sleep journey.
