ABOUT HAPPY SLEEPY PEOPLE

Parenting while keeping up with the work hustle? It's like running a marathon with hurdles made of bedtime battles, right? We're expected to be these amazing superheroes who can do it all. Truth is, we can’t and our mental health suffers for that.
That's where Happy Sleepy People comes in—a brainchild born from real mental health struggles, especially those sleep-deprived days of new parenthood and juggling work and children.

Imagine seamlessly getting back into the work groove while your home is filled with blissfully sleepy and content people.

OUR STORY
I'm Natasha—a mum of two with over a decade of experience working in the corporate world.
I noticed a big gap —parents in the workplace just aren't getting the backup they need. There are many aspects to this but my focus is on those sleep-deprived parents at their workplace expected to perform at work and those on parental leave really wanting to enjoy that leave but unable to because they don’t have the guidance or support and are struggling with the sleep deprivation.
I get it – routines are not everyone's cup of tea. But you know what? Embracing routines totally transformed my parenting game! The tricky part was finding accessible information to help without it being super expensive. I rewrote my story, became a qualified sleep consultant, and now with workplaces as my sidekicks, I want to change that tune and help as many parents as possible! Let's make it accessible for everyone. Your employees deserve that extra support, knowing their employer's got their back.
It’s time to change the narrative that parents are forgotten about in workplaces and make a small difference with huge impact.

You won't believe the magic of sleep! When little one dozes off, their body does this awesome thing—it releases growth hormones that are fuel for both body and brain! And guess what? It’s not just about growing big and smart; sleep also gears up their superhero immune system and aids quicker recovery.
Healthy Development
You wouldn’t think it, but sleep is a secret power-up for the brain! It’s like a magical memory booster. Babies need their snooze time for their brains to soak up and stash all that cool new info they’re taking in.
Brain Development
Routines are a secret sauce for your little one’s emotions! When sleep takes a nosedive, emotions go on a rollercoaster ride. Hello, irritability! Hello, fussiness! So, a good snooze? That’s the golden ticket to a happier, calmer baby!

Client Love
Natasha has totally transformed my motherhood. I was so nervous about the lack of sleep I kept hearing about but with her help I created great sleep habits from birth. I was educated on this which resulted in a baby who slept through at 6 weeks and has a great association with sleeping!
Where do I start? I was in such a bad place with my 4 month old, I was very sleep deprived and Natasha changed all of that. She explained things to me I had never heard such simple changes that led to me having a totally different experience of naps and sleep. I feel so much happier as i’m sleeping better! THANK YOU !!!!!!!
Happy Sleepy People changed our life and i’m not exaggerating. We really struggled with exhaustion and lack of sleep which hit a breaking point when our daughter was waking up every hour. In just a few days we had a baby sleeping through the night. The constant support we received kept us going, we can’t thank you for enough for giving us our wellbeing back.
The only way I could get my baby to sleep was to rock her or for her to nap on me. I was losing my mind and so much sleep, arguing alot with my husband as we were both just so tired. After 2 days we had our baby sleeping 7pm - 7am. I still can’t believe it. I couldn’t of done any of this without Natasha, her encouragement helped me so much.
A miracle worker!!!
