ANNA DEACON

Baby & Child Sleep Consultant

Confused about sleep training? You're not alone. Most exhausted parents aren't doing anything wrong - they're just drowning in conflicting advice. Early rising, nap refusal, rocking for hours, long bedtimes? My SETTLE Method cuts through it: one gentle, tailored plan for your child.  

Gentle sleep coaching for your little one.

Hi, I'm Anna

Do you need genuine, judgmental-free help with your child’s bedtime routine, night time sleep or early morning rises? You’ve come to the right place!

I’m a Level 6 Certified Sleep Consultant and qualified Norland Nanny with years of experience working with infants, toddlers and pre-teens and their families.

I became a sleep consultant after seeing so many of the families I worked with facing the same battles each night. I wanted to do more than just be there during the day. I wanted to help so that both the parents and children in my care were well rested, and enjoying family time together again.

I work with families from 5 months through to pre-teen. Each age has different sleep needs, and I tailor my approach accordingly, whether it's establishing healthy foundations for a baby or addressing older children's sleep challenges.

I work with you and create clear, personalised step-by-step sleep plans that align with your family's values and lifestyle.

The SETTLE System

  • S

    SOOTHING

    Responsive, gentle settling that comforts your child without creating the sleep associations that keep everyone awake

    ENVIRONMENT

    Light, temperature and cues that tell your childs's body that it's time to sleep. From short naps to 5am starts, the room matters.

  • T

    TIMING

    Age-right wake windows, naps and bedtimes, so we work with your child's biology instead of fighting it.

    TAILORED

    Built around your family's values, routines and parenting style. One size never fits all. Your plan is yours alone.

  • L

    LOVING

    Boundaries delivered with warmth. Better sleep should never cost you closeness. It should give you more of it.

  • E

    EMPOWERED

    You finish with the tools, knowledge and confidence to handle regressions and wobbles on your own.

  • Coaching

    ​Support that doesn't disappear. You're never left to figure it out at 2am. I'm with you through the plan, and here for you long after, whenever a new stage brings a new challenge.  

  • Peace

    ​Your evenings back. When sleep settles, so does everything else — calmer bedtimes, a calmer house, and time together again in the evening. Predictability brings assurance you know you’ll sleep.

What People Are Saying

​"We can’t thank Anna enough for her support. We reached out when we were stuck in a cycle of early wake ups and cot refusal, and she immediately put us at ease. She created a tailored plan that addressed the dummy and sleep environment perfectly. She is super supportive throughout the process. Anna is always there when we need her, and thanks to her guidance, we finally have our evenings (and our bed!) back. Thanks so much."

— Yee and Gemma

"​I’m so pleased he’s doing a lot more self setting again and longer stints. I have also heard him wake in the night and settle himself again without me having to go in so we’re definitely making progress. Thank you again for all of your help Anna! You’re an absolute superstar!"

​“Noah’s sleep is amazing - and such perfect timing too! Your routine for the day was so helpful and is what we follow. Sometimes we get a little noise about 5am but we leave him and he resettles himself. It’s miraculous and I’m so thankful for your help and input!! I honestly didn’t think we’d get to this point but, wonderfully, here we are! Thank you so, so much! "
