You don’t need a perfect routine; you need one that works for you and your family. At Sweet Dreamz, we are here to help you build sleep habits that are realistic, sustainable, and actually fit around real life with personalised support and guidance every step of the way.
We totally understand how sleep challenges can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and isolating. We also know how life-changing proper support can be.
Specialist guidance for young people with additional needs, providing sensitive, individualised strategies that respect each child’s unique circumstances.
Whether you are across the street or across the world expert sleep support is available.
Start with a friendly, no-pressure 15-minute chat. I may ask you to complete a sleep diary beforehand to help me understand your child’s current routine.
We’ll review your child’s sleep patterns and family routines together — at your pace, by video call or face-to-face if you’re in Herefordshire. I’ll share practical tips and resources from the very start.
I’ll create a gentle, step-by-step plan tailored to your child and your family. No one-size-fits-all approach here — small, consistent steps lead to real improvements.
You won’t be doing this alone. I’ll be here to guide and reassure you as you put the plan in place — with extra support available to add on at any time.
I’m Karen, founder of Sweet Dreamz and a fully certified Children’s Sleep Consultant Practitioner based in Hereford. I’m passionate about one thing above all else … helping families get the sleep they desperately need.
With over 20 years of experience working with children, young people, and families across education, health, and social care, I’ve spent my career advocating for those with SEND, additional needs, and complex challenges.
I’ve managed national sleep services, trained practitioners across the country, and sat with countless exhausted parents who simply didn’t know where to turn. That experience doesn’t just inform what I do … it shapes how I do it.
I hold Level 3-6 certifications from some of the most respected names in sleep science, including Sleep Scotland, Solent NHS, The Sleep Charity and The Sleep Consultant Academy.
My approach is firmly evidence-based, tried and tested methods that get results. I know that when a family comes to me, they’re often running on empty, overwhelmed, and in need of someone who truly gets it … not just the science, but the reality of living it day after day.
Sweet Dreamz offers face-to-face support locally across Herefordshire and online Sleep Clinics for families further afield. Working with children and young people from 0–18 years, including specialist SEND support up to 25 years … because every child deserves restful sleep, regardless of their needs or diagnosis.
When I’m not supporting families, you’ll find me at home with my husband, enjoying time with our four children and five grandchildren. I’m also a lifelong dog lover … having owned and competed in agility with German Shepherds over the years, I now share my home with Willow, my adorable French Bulldog.
You don’t have to keep struggling alone!
Whether you’re local to Herefordshire or anywhere in the UK, Sweet Dreamz is here to help your family find the restful nights you all deserve.
