About Rachael
I’m Rachael Hawkins, a holistic sleep coach based in Cambridgeshire, supporting families both locally and online. With over 30 years’ experience in early childhood care — including NNEB Childcare & Education, Level 6 Holistic Sleep Coaching, baby massage and baby yoga — I support families through the everyday sleep challenges that arise in infancy and early childhood. As a mum of two prematurely born boys, I understand the realities of navigating parenting and the emotional ups and downs that come with it.
My approach is attachment-protective, developmentally supportive and fully responsive, always shaped around your child’s needs and your family’s values. I work gently alongside you to improve sleep in a way that feels realistic at home and honours your parenting style.
