Root To Calm Programme
The bespoke and unique support you need for a more settled, calm and content baby.
Allowing you to thrive, not just try and survive motherhood.
Does this sound like you?
Exhausted trying to find the right answers
Endless hours searching the internet.
Trying things but having no idea what, if anything is working!
Shattered from lack of sleep and never being able to put your baby down.
Feeling broken by the constant crying distress, and discomfort your baby is in
Overwhelmed by conflicting information
So many people have said, try this, do this.
Suggested it’s because you are breastfeeding, that you need to switch formulas or to give medication!
Perhaps you have been told there is nothing you can do and you just have to wait it out!
Everyone has a differing opinion and the advice is so conflicting.
Guilty that you aren't enjoying being a mum
You love your baby but are hating the experience of motherhood.
You can’t understand why your baby is so unsettled and have no idea how to help them.
You find yourself feeling so jealous of others with happy babies, whilst you miss out on the experience of motherhood you had hoped for.
The Root to Calm programme- What is it?
A bespoke programme of support for families with unsettled babies. Aimed at parents with babies aged 0-6 months.
Supporting you to identify the root causes of your baby’s discomfort and discover the enjoyment in parenting that has been missing from your lives! A unique and holistic approach, that has you and your baby at it’s heart.
Life with an unsettled baby impacts EVERYTHING!
Your relationships, your sleep, your state of mind!
The constant worry about what is wrong with your baby, the guilt you feel at being unable to help them and the endless search for what to do to make things better!
Identifying the root causes of your baby’s discomfort is the start of a happier, more settled and calmer family life for everyone
My goal is to empower you to identify what is going on for your baby, help you learn to trust your intuition and enhance the connection and bond you have with your baby.
To help you move away from the tears, frustration and guilt, so you can begin to thrive as a family.
Helping your baby to be free from pain and discomfort and for you all to have a happier, more settled, calm and fulfilled family life.
My approach is:
Holistic– This is not a one size fits all, cookie cutter approach to parenting. There are many things that impact our baby. It’s about the whole not just looking at symptoms in isolation.
Evidence based- Where we can, we start with the research! Unfortunately, there is not always research into all things infant feeding or unsettled babies. I do not recommend things that have no grounding in evidence. This is about bringing you the evidence based information you need to inform your decisions, putting you back in the driving seat of motherhood!
Child focused– Your baby is heart and center! Developmentally, biologically appropriate care and support for you and your family.
I do not promise a QUICK FIX– because that is treating the symptoms, not looking holistically, at the root causes, the factors, the circumstances as they are for you and your baby.
You deserve BESPOKE, NUANCED support to ensure you both get the long term transformation you need to have a better experience of motherhood and a calmer, happier baby.
Donna's Story
‘I had been so looking forward to becoming a mum.
But within weeks of our baby arriving, we were navigating through the depths of colic and reflux.
I didn’t really understand what these terms meant. I was googling everything at 4 am on social media to try and find the answers we so desperately needed to help our little one.
I realised that it wasn’t just my baby that was unsettled, it was me! I was also an unsettled parent!
I felt so swallowed up by all the noise and just didn’t know where to turn!
How different things are now!
We now have a happier, more settled baby with a clear idea of what was causing my baby to be so unsettled and how to help him!
I felt so listened to and heard! I finally had the evidence-based knowledge I needed, all delivered in bite-sized chunks when I needed them most so I didn’t feel completely overwhelmed.
Through the Root to Calm programme, we managed to find our way not only to a pain-free, more settled baby but to the enjoyment of motherhood I had been so looking forward to and thought we may never get!’
The Truth about Unsettled Babies
The unspoken truth when it comes to unsettled babies is the current system is FAILING them and you!
The mainstream approach is to treat the symptoms and does not address the underlying root causes as to WHY your baby is so unsettled.
The most common ‘advice’ you have probably heard is
‘It’s normal, all babies cry they will just grow out of it’
‘Just stop breastfeeding and everything will be better’
‘Let’s give them medication that will solve it’
But….
There is a another way!
MY approach will help you identify the root causes as they are for YOUR BABY, not a cookie-cutter approach that only treats the symptoms.
So very often INFANT FEEDING is at the heart of these issues.
So often, this is overlooked or not correctly assessed.
I want to give you the right support to help you correctly identify WHAT is going on for YOUR baby and give you back the control and confidence to decide what the next best steps are for you both.
Can you Imagine?
Life with a more settled and content baby!
My Unsettled baby
This is one of the only pictures I have of my second as a baby.
I found adjusting to motherhood harder than I thought. With the arrival of my second baby I felt more ready to embrace motherhood for all it was, and lean into the more challenging moments.
Little did I know at this point just how hard that would be.
My son cried constantly and had terrible reflux (hence so few pictures!).
We were told, all babies cry, reflux was normal and because he was gaining weight there was nothing wrong.
All the professionals kept saying I probably had postnatal depression. I was so frustrated by this!
I wasn’t depressed. I was consumed by anxiety and worry for my baby being in so much discomfort.
Overwhelmed from the constant crying and lack of sleep. I felt helpless from not knowing how to help my baby!
It was such a struggle of trying to survive life with a baby in constant pain and distress. I wished to be anywhere but trapped at home with a screaming baby! And still we were told…
You just have to wait it out
I felt robbed of my experience of motherhood, never had any quality time with my first son and regretted my decision to become a parent. I then felt hugely ashamed of feeling this way!
Eventually as things did get better and I went back to work, I embarked on years of expanding my knowledge and experience supporting parents finding parenthood challenging.
Through extensive training and education I began to realise that our situation WAS NOT NORMAL!
That the only choice isn’t just wait it out or to give medication! That there was another way to support parents to have a better experience of motherhood!
I have created this evidenced-based and holistic programme to support families with unsettled babies in the way they deserve.
Empowering you to understand why your baby is so unsettled and take the necessary steps to improve life for all of you!
I never want any parent to hate motherhood and miss out on this experience as I did.
I have made it my mission to support YOU and your BABY, so much better

The programme also includes support from a craniosacral therapist, a Paediatric dietician and a responsive sleep consultant, all who can help answer your questions, via the educational content and recorded Q&A sessions. You may find answers to your questions in here.
I commitment to you is to do my very best and be there with you, to try and help improve things for you and your baby.
Via the 1:1 sessions ( 1 x 1 hour, then 2 x 30-minute sessions, at 2 weeks and 6 weeks) and the WhatsApp support, together we will help get you and your baby to a better place.
Additional 1:1 sessions can be purchased if required.
Ideally I want to help support you from as soon as you feel there is an issue with your baby being unsettled. This enables you to get the transformation you desire of a more settled baby as soon as possible!
Most of the babies that I support are aged between 0-6 months, although I have supported many families with babies older than this ( between 6-9 months)
These all happen over ZOOM.
We will arrange the first 1 hour session and then following this arrange the next follow up session.
These are proposed to be undertaken at 2 weeks into the support, and then towards the end at 6 weeks. This can be altered as necessary.
You are skeptical! I totally understand this! And you are right to be as there are no guarantees when it comes to parenting!
Many parents with unsettled babies feel they have tried so many things and nothing has worked, but trying multiple things and suggestions without having the underpinning knowledge and understanding, is very different to using a proven framework with expert support.
What I can promise you is this:
Infant feeding is often at the heart of why babies are unsettled. My expertise lies in helping you correctly identify what is going on with infant feeding and address these issues.
NO I cannot fix or cure everything, that would be disingenuous to tell you that I can.
My commitment to you is to use my knowledge, skill and expertise to help identify what is going on for you and your baby and continue supporting you for as long as you need the help!
