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, judgement-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.

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!"
Lizzie
“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! "
