About me

“No one should feel alone in those sleepless nights, and I want to be the person that helps parents feel confident and supported every step of the way”

Hi, I’m Patricia—your local sleep consultant with a passion for supporting families through sleep challenges.

After spending years working with children around the world, I’ve come home to share what I’ve learned and bring sleep support to our community. With 8 years of experience and having worked with over 65 families, I’ve gathered a diverse understanding of child development, routines, and family dynamics. While sleep consultancy is a recent venture for me, my extensive childcare background gives me a solid foundation to help families find the rest they need.

Children are my absolute passion—I’m constantly amazed by their resilience, growth, and how quickly they learn when given the right tools and guidance. My approach focuses on helping both parents and children navigate sleep training with confidence and ease, creating long-term benefits for the whole family.

Coming back to Coffs Harbour was a no-brainer for me. It’s home, and I wanted to bring back everything I’ve learned to help our community. Right now, I’m seeing friends and family starting their own journeys with little ones, and I want to be there to support them through the ups and downs—helping them find rest, peace of mind, and the confidence to take charge of their little one’s sleep. My goal is to make sleep training feel like a positive and achievable journey, not just for babies, but for parents too.

About Drift

Drift Sleep Solutions was created out of both passion and necessity. In Coffs Harbour and the surrounding areas, there is a serious lack of support for parents struggling with their child’s sleep. I have spent eight years working with children, and one of the biggest challenges I’ve seen parents face is sleep—both theirs and their child’s. The exhaustion, frustration, and helplessness that sleep deprivation brings can impact everything. I wanted to change that.

One experience that solidified this mission for me was hearing about my cousin’s struggle to sleep train her daughter using local services. The process was unnecessarily traumatic for both her and her little girl, and it broke my heart to see them go through it. Sleep training shouldn’t feel like a battle—it should be a supportive, responsive process that meets the needs of both the child and the parents. That’s why Drift exists: to provide gentle, effective, and in-home sleep solutions that make life easier for everyone.

Our mission is simple: Gentle sleep solutions for happy babies (and even happier parents!)
