Nurtured Guidance. Better Sleep.
Helping little ones sleep and families thrive through personalised in-home and online sleep support for ages 3 months to 7 years.
Hi, I’m Mel.
I am a Registered Midwife, Nurse, mum to three little boys, and a Certified Baby and Child Sleep Specialist, living just outside of Toowoomba, QLD. My passion for supporting families began long before becoming a sleep consultant. Through my years working with babies, children, and parents, I saw firsthand the profound impact that sleep has on a family's wellbeing. Once I became a mum myself, I gained an even deeper understanding of just how challenging sleep deprivation can be. The exhaustion, overwhelm, and constant questioning of whether you're doing the right thing can affect every part of family life.
That's why I created Nurtured Nights by Mel.
My goal is to provide families with gentle, personalised sleep support that nurtures both the child and the parent. I believe healthy sleep and strong parent-child connections can go hand in hand. Every family is unique, which is why I take the time to understand your child, your parenting style, and your goals before creating a plan tailored specifically to your family's needs.
As a mother, I want the very best for my own children, and I bring that same care, compassion, and dedication to every family I support. Whether you're navigating newborn sleep, frequent overnight wakes, nap struggles, or toddler bedtime battles, I'm here to guide you with practical strategies, encouragement, and ongoing support.
Family is at the heart of everything I do. My husband has proudly served in the Australian Army for over 14 years, and one of my greatest motivations for building this business is to help provide for our family while giving him the opportunity to step back, prioritise his own wellbeing, and enjoy more time with us. Working from home allows me to do what I love while remaining present for my boys and creating a life centred around family.
I know how life-changing better sleep can be—not just for your little one, but for your entire family. It would be my privilege to support you on your journey towards more restful nights, happier days, and the confidence that comes from knowing you're not doing it alone.
