About Ciara
My journey into sleep consulting began while working as a nanny in Australia, where I supported families with their children's daily routines and sleep. During this time, I had the opportunity to work alongside experienced sleep consultants and see the positive impact that gentle, personalised support can have on the wellbeing and confidence of the whole family.
Alongside my hands-on childcare experience, my background in Public Health has given me a strong appreciation for early childhood development, family wellbeing, and the role that healthy sleep plays in both physical and emotional health. It reinforced my belief that supporting a child's sleep can have a positive ripple effect on the entire family.
Inspired by these experiences, I completed my training as an Infant and Toddler Sleep Consultant. After returning to Ireland, I founded Calm Cradles with Ciara to provide gentle, evidence-informed, and personalised sleep support for families seeking practical guidance, reassurance, and restful nights.
I believe every family is unique, which is why I take the time to understand your child's needs, your parenting style, and your goals. Together, we'll create a sleep plan that feels right for your family and supports your little one in developing healthy, sustainable sleep habits.
