Sophie Potter

I am the Co-Founder of Blissful Bambino and been working in my role as a Sleep Coach since October 2012. I have two wonderful children, Lily and Felix, although they are not so little now at 14 and 19! I have always had a passion for developing positive sleep habits and focused on putting everything I knew into practice with my two children. I’ve worked as a childcare professional for over twenty years, but I wanted to share my knowledge and passion about sleep with even more families in my role as a sleep coach. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, as I absolutely love it and its so rewarding. It’s wonderful being able to help families overcome issues they may face and I believe that 'consistency is key' to achieve success.

Qualifications:

• NNEB - Qualified Nursery Nurse and Nanny

• Level 3 OCN in Sleep Coaching with the MNT

• Level 3 OCN in Reflux and Early Allergies in babies with Ready to Parent

• Completed a course at Warwick University about the developing mind of babies, theories of attachment and the parental role

Previously, as a childcare professional I worked as a nanny with individual families, as a nursery nurse within childcare settings, a maternity nurse for twins and I was also the deputy manager of a nursery for four years, until I left that role to have my first baby in 2002. 

Through my career I have built up a wealth of experience and knowledge about babies and children, their behaviour, sleeping habits and personal relations. Specifically, I have spent a lot of time advising parents on how to achieve positive sleep associations and good sleeping habits within their children.

I am the Co-Founder of Blissful Bambino and been working in my role as a Sleep Coach since October 2012. I have two beautiful children, Jessica and Oliver aged 11 and 7. Thanks to the lack of sleep, overwhelming amount of conflicting advice and not knowing where to find support as a first time mum, Jessica was my inspiration to become a sleep coach. I am so pleased I did, as I absolutely love it! I have tried and tested all of the techniques and responses that we use and I believe that this helps me support parents with understanding and compassion. I love empowering parents and giving them the confidence to achieve their goals.

Previously, as a midwife I worked for the NHS for 13 years, mainly in the community looking after couples during pregnancy, in labour, birth and in the postnatal period. I have spent time preparing parents for childbirth and parenthood, by leading antenatal preparation sessions to large groups. I have also helped hundreds of parents with those early weeks at home, providing advice on sleep patterns, settling and soothing their newborns and helping them adjust to their new family dynamics.
