I don’t know where to begin but if I could give Chantel 10 stars I would. We went from co sleeping as baby would not sleep in his cot, to him now sleeping in his cot in his own room and sleeping for the majority of the night. We saw changes in the first night and it just got better.
Chantel is extremely knowledgeable, friendly helpful and the person that any sleep deprived parent needs in their life. I wish I got her to help us sooner as the changes have been life changing and I am enjoying being a mum so much more.
She is also very supportive, non judgemental and has a very gentle approach. She won’t make you do anything you don’t feel comfortable with and won’t make you feel bad if you need to take your own time.
If you are hesitant in getting Chantel to help you with your baby’s sleep, don’t be. This lady is amazing and you will be glad you did so.
LIFE CHANGING! If you’re contemplating whether to do sleep training or think maybe you can ride it out or do it off an app with no conversations with a real person… DONT! I put it off for months and was so sleep deprived, and a bit skeptical that sleep training would work. But my gosh was I wrong! Chantal is amazing! And she isn’t lying with the name ‘Baby Sleep Magic’ it’s literally magic! I actually couldn’t even believe it myself when we saw an instant change in our daughters sleep the first go after implementing Chantal’s advice. She is also super helpful with backup support if you have questions after your consult! She has always been there for me to re-assure or provide answers to questions that arise along the sleep training journey. Couldn’t recommend her high enough!
Chantal was recommended to us by a family member and she has truly been amazing throughout the whole process of sleep training.
We couldn’t get our baby to sleep till midnight with lots of screaming and crying and nothing helped other than rocking and patting her for hours on end. Chantal guided us and helped us achieve an earlier bed time with less crying & less fussing. She has been so supportive over the course of weeks with so many texts and audio messages back and forth answering any question I had and her replies were always quick and so helpful.
100 percent recommend Chantal. My husband and I can now enjoy having dinner together and bed time for our daughter is not daunting anymore.
Thank you so much
Where do I start… a friend recommended I book a consult with Chantal after months of my girl not sleeping. My daughter would wake every 1-3 hours over night for feeds and only sleep 30-45 mins during the day. I thought being 14 months I’ve left it to late. After chatting to Chantal it took under a week and my daughter now sleeps through the night, has two naps of at least 1hr each, her eating is so much better and she goes to sleep easily once put in her cot. I feel like a weight has been lifted on my shoulders and I can’t thank Chantal enough for all the support and tips. 100% recommend!!!
Chantal changed our lives. I was so afraid of sleep training, but she gave us a really gentle and calm approach, I never felt like I was doing things that felt wrong for my attachment style. But the best part was that every step along the way she was checking in, reassuring, offering non-judgmental advice and encouragement. The many many voice notes have been the best part of this service. She is so kind and passionate about what she does. My son slept through after 2 weeks and he used to wake for a feed hourly in my bed. Sweet sleep has been amazing for this tired family! Cannot recommend highly enough.
I can't express my gratitude enough for Chantelle's invaluable guidance and support. As a new mum, I was navigating uncharted waters, but Chantelle has been my guiding light throughout this journey. From sleep schedules to settling techniques and even daily nutritional advice, Chantelle has been there every step of the way. Her expertise in establishing a sleeping routine for my baby was a game-changer. What truly sets Chantelle apart is her unwavering ongoing support, which has been a lifeline for me. She is not just a mentor but an amazing human being. Thank you, Chantelle, for making this new chapter of motherhood so much more manageable and enjoyable!
Wow. I don’t know if “thank-you” says enough! Chantal was so onto it as we expressed all the issues we had encountered with our little 18mo and his broken sleep habits. She helped us feel empowered and confident in our decision making, as well as educated us in the ‘why’s’ and ‘how’s’ of toddlerhood.
We were suffering from broken nights, protests with sleep, feeding/nursing to sleep as well as nap resistance. We were almost at breaking point!
Within a few days of implementing Chantal’s advice, we saw humongous improvements. After a week, we started to see our little guy starting putting himself to sleep at night (!!) once this was sorted, we tackled his day nap and boom, a few days later - same result.
I cannot recommend Baby Sleep Magic higher! If you were on the verge on a breakdown and feeling helpless like us, THIS is the solution!
Thank you
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
From the bottom of our hearts we can’t thank you enough Chantal!
You have changed our sleep! From cat naps, awaking every sleep cycle and having to have 10 men for the transfers to bed and a whole lot of finger and toes cross the transfer would work that’s all behind us! Your caring and support is endless!
Anyone thinking of having Chantal’s help, do it! It’s so worth it! Sometimes it’s only a little thing you need to adjust but Chantal is so caring and nurturing! My husband was away when we reached out for help and the support you gave me during this process, I really thank you!
From one happy family all getting SLEEP!!!!
Chantal is a baby whisperer... don't think twice about booking her.
I was at breaking point before her visit- getting 3 hours sleep a night. Our 4 month old son had feeding issues and very poor sleep since he was born. It got to a point he was waking at night every 20-60 minutes and refusing bottles in the day. Very short naps in the day. It took us hours to get him to sleep at night and he was very unsettled.
I couldn't believe how quickly he improved after Chantal's visit at our house. We literally saw massive improvements within 24 hours.
He now naps like a champion, he only wakes once for a feed at night (has even slept through the night several times).I cant believe this is our baby! Most importantly, he is now so settled and happy. We have our sanity back
Chantal is gentle in her approach, non-judgmental and so supportive. Her app, 'Baby Sleep Magic', is very useful for sleep and nutrition challenges that you may face as the baby grows.
THANK YOU SO MUCH CHANTAL xxx
“Chantal is so knowledgeable and this app is such an amazing tool — you get to chat with other mamas who are facing the same problems as you. Our baby went from co-sleeping to sleeping on his own in 10 days, we didn’t think that was possible but Chantal made it happen. She truly cares which makes such a huge difference.”
Excellent
“Chantal’s knowledge has been absolutely incredible. Her methods have transformed our bub from a poor, non-routine sleeper into a sound, predictable sleeper and we could not be happier with the results! … Highly recommend this app to any parent!”
“Amazing!”
“I can’t begin to explain how grateful we are that we found Chantal at Baby Sleep Magic! … Now that our little girl can self settle she puts herself to sleep and can link sleep cycles. … Chantal really is a magic human who is passionate about helping parents navigate sleep with their little ones.”
Full of invaluable knowledge!
“LIFE CHANGING! … I put it off for months and was so sleep deprived, and a bit skeptical … but my gosh was I wrong! … I actually couldn’t even believe it myself when we saw an instant change in our daughters sleep the first go after implementing Chantal’s advice."
Best money I have ever spent!
“This app is a great tool to compliment Chantal’s amazing consultation. I was sleep deprived and not sure what to do. … The effects were INSTANT! He went from waking 4–5 times each night to sleeping the whole night through in about 2 days and … good 1.5–2 hr day naps. The follow up support Chantal gives is wonderful!”
Very happy customer
“Best decision I ever made was contacting Chantelle. … Now I can put her down in her cot and off she goes to sleep in minutes. I’ve learned so much from Chantelle and the app. She’s one of the most genuine, caring, and helpful people I have ever met. … I can’t begin to explain how grateful we are that we found Chantal at Baby Sleep Magic!”
Chantal is absolutely incredible! We are so grateful to have found her, and couldn’t recommend Baby Sleep Magic more. We engaged Chantal when our son was 9 months old and wished we had done it sooner! The in-home consultation was worth every single cent - it was so reassuring to have her meet our son, and see his temperament, his sleep space, and our routines first hand. After completing so many online sleep training courses, I felt like they were all so generic and nothing I was doing was resulting in longer stretches of sleep at night. While he had been falling asleep independently since 4 months old and napping like a champion, I felt like I was ticking all the boxes… but he was still waking 3-6 times every single night! After just TWO DAYS of implementing Chantal’s advice, our 9 month old slept through the night for the first time in his life! And has slept through every night since (4 weeks and counting!). I used to read reviews like this and feel so disheartened, it felt so unattainable - but Chantal made it simple, gentle, achievable and so easy to implement! Her follow up support and communication was fantastic! Always so quick to respond with helpful advice, tips and knowledge. We are so grateful to her for giving our family the gift of quality sleep, and for her reassuring us as first time parents. Thank you Chantal!
Omg. Why didn’t we do this sooner is the question I’m asking myself!!!
Chantal is amazing! Such great advice knowledge and support. I was able to check in with her and ask any questions I had and she made sure to check in with me to see how we were going. Our baby now sleeps through the night in a matter of days!
We are beyond appreciate of the advice!
Thank you, thank you, thank you x
Chantal is a miracle worker. At my whits end- sleep deprived- anxious- confused why my baby wouldn’t sleep- I booked a consultation with Chantal and she has literally saved my sanity.
Within a couple of days of Chantal’s guidance my baby went from being fed and rocked to sleep and waking up every hour through the night to me being able to put her in her cot drowsy and falling asleep by herself. Every scenario along the way I could easily text or voice note Chantal and she would reply promptly with detailed explanations and plans. She taught me how to teach my baby to sleep and to sleep WELL.
If you are at the end of your tether and you’re wondering if you should get help. Please do. Choose Chantal. She will help you!!! (Her service comes with a cool app as well which has a wealth of information too).
CHANTEL! The woman, the myth, the LEGEND! She absolutely saved our lives with her magic. Our son was 14 months when we decided to transition from co-sleeping to falling asleep independently in his own cot. I was very nervous that we had waited too long, but Chantel filled me with heaps of confidence! Chantel is with you every step of the way, no matter how long it takes. He is now sleeping 13 hours on his own. I am so thankful for her. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!
I was sleep deprived, bleary minded and not sure what to do. Then Baby Sleep Magic was recommended to me by a friend who had had a great experience with Chantal so I was keen to give her go. My first consultation was BRILLIANT! Chantal was thorough and generous with her time. We covered so much and I felt like I had lots of practical things to implement to try and improve my baby’s sleep. The effects were INSTANT! He went from waking 4-5 times each night to sleeping the whole night through in about 2 days and he went from short day naps to good 1.5-2 hr day naps. The follow up support Chantal gives is wonderful, and the speed which she replies is amazing! Honestly, this was some of the best money I have EVER spent!
We had an incredible experience Chantal. From the very beginning, her approach was gentle and focused on secure attachment, exactly what we were looking for. We saw noticeable improvements within the first week. Like 5hours of uninterrupted sleep (as apposed to normal which was 2hrs max). What really sets her apart is her ongoing support post-visit. I have questions daily, and she responds within the hour. Her guidance is incredibly specific and tailored to our baby’s needs. I highly recommend her services to any parent seeking a compassionate and effective sleep solution!
Chantal is absolutely incredible, she truly changed our lives.
I was very skeptical at first, but after reading her glowing reviews, I decided to give it a try and I’m so glad I did.
Our baby, almost 6 months old, had been waking up every hour for the past four months, needing to be rocked to sleep every single time, sometimes 8 to 9 times a night or more. We were exhausted and desperate.
Chantal came to our home for just a couple of hours, and in that short time she gave us so much insight, practical advice, and a fresh, gentle routine tailored to our baby’s needs. She has an incredible understanding of infant sleep and feeding, and her calm, confident presence immediately put us at ease.
The results were almost instant.
On the very first night, we saw improvements. Now, just four nights in, our baby is sleeping 11–12 hours straight with no waking and no night feeds. He’s more rested and happier and so are we!
Her ongoing support has also been amazing she’s answered all my questions with care and has been with us every step of the way.
I cannot recommend Chantal enough, not just for sleep guidance, but also for feeding support. She’s a true expert and a wonderful person to have on your side.
Chantal has changed our lives. Baby would not sleep in the day unless held and nighttime was similar. We did not want leave her to cry it in order to achieve results and we managed to achieve excellent results within a week without compromising what we wanted for our baby. Naps are now in the cot and we are able to put her down in the night. Chantal was on call 24/7 to help and answer questions and the support she gave us was above and beyond.
Chantal has been so easy to work with. She is honest, reasonable and extremely practical in her approach. She does not impose unrealistic expectations and ensures all your concerns and challenges are taken into account. She has allowed us to embed a feasible and long-term routine for our son that has drastically improved his sleep. I highly recommend her if you are struggling with your child's sleep. We are so grateful for Chantal and her expertise.
Chantel was incredible. So helpful and responsive, even calling outside her hours to check in! She made sure we had the tools to deal with a very dire sleeping situation with my 20 month old. She got us back on track in no time, and tailored her suggestions to our style of night time settling. The insights she gave too about overall health and nutrition helped us unbelievably. I just wish we’d contacted her sooner! I’m finally sleeping through the night and could not thank her enough!!!!

Thanks Chantal, I just wished we had hired you earlier. We kept postponing it because we always thought he’d sleep better the next night. Well, the next night never came. Things got better only when Chantal came to our lives. We followed strictly what she recommended and the results are impressive, hard to believe. Our baby is sleeping perfectly and this is liberating. Happy days
Chantal was amazing, warm and so knowledgeable. There is a lot of information out there and she helped us identify what is important and how to implement it for our baby. Above all, having her come into our home and work with our baby as well as the ability to continue to communicate and ask questions was a game changer for us. We would 10000% recommend her services to friends and family. We had our daughter settled in her own cot within a couple of days without any distress for her or us. there was some moaning but nothing like a cry. Using the methods she taught us we have transitioned her now to a sleep sack as well and having that info has just set us up for long term success. We cannot thank her enough!!!
I reached out to Chantal when my baby was waking 6-10 times per night and crying at every nap. She helped me tweak our wake windows as well as getting bub to go to sleep independently. I saw improvements the same day! Chantal was friendly, highly responsive and I loved she provided 30 days support! I'm so glad I had her support and guidance through one of the hardest sleep periods we've experienced.
Chantal has been an absolute lifesaver. When we reached out our 11-month-old was waking up to 10 times a night, cosleeping and feeding to sleep.
I truly thought our baby was incapable of sleeping well but Chantal assured us that could change. Chantal came to our home for a personalised consultation and offered practical, tailored options that felt manageable and respectful of our parenting style.
She was always extremely quick to respond to any questions we had and incredibly supportive throughout the process.
Now our little one sleeps through the night in their own room, and we feel like completely new people. Hiring Chantal was hands down the best decision we’ve made.
As a first time mum navigating life with a newborn is daunting and reaching out to Chantal at 8 weeks when I was overwhelmed and sleep-deprived, was one of the best decisions I’ve made. From the very beginning, Chantal was incredibly generous with her time and knowledge. She responded quickly when I needed support the most. Her guidance was clear, compassionate, and tailored to our family’s needs - down to the minute! Within days, we started seeing a difference, not just in my baby’s sleep, but in my own confidence as a parent.
I am so grateful for her support during such a vulnerable time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any mums looking for additional guidance!
I cannot recommend Chantal enough. She is the baby sleep magician and so supportive. We were almost sure it would be impossible to get our little boy into his cot, let alone sleep through the night. I was not a fan of the whole ‘cry it out method’ as our little guy is very sensitive, so Chantal tailored a plan for us to gently work with him and do things at a slower and gradual pace. We went from having a baby who was breastfeeding to sleep every sleep, since birth and also co-slept with me since birth, to now sleeping in his cot and most nights sleeping all the way through. The support from Chantal along the way has been incredible and we definitely needed it. Thank you again Chantal. We have loved working with you and getting this Mumma out of severe sleep deprivation to a happier function human again 🫶🏼
WOW WOW WOW! I can’t recommend Chantal enough. We were 6 weeks out from having our second child when our 20 month old went from a unicorn sleeping baby to reversing in everything.
Waking, crying out,not settling - only would do so if she was in our bed or was given a warm milk bottle to go down again. It became a habit for her and for us we wondered how on earth are we going to do this with a newborn!!
Insert Chantal - a miracle worker! With the knowledge and skills she swept in and by night three we had a sleeping toddler again and haven’t had a problem since and it’s been 3 weeks . We are even in a different state to Chantal so everything was done over the phone and text and the support was next level!
Don’t think about it ! Book it in! You won’t look back .
Thank you thank you again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was reading all those dreamy reviews when I first contacted Chantal, hoping I would also be writing one!
Here we are!!!!
My six-and-a-half-month-old, who was waking six to ten times every night, can now fall asleep independently and only wake 1 to 0 time (for a feed). Chantal taught us so much. She responded to all our questions so fast, and everything she told us always worked brilliantly!
I did recommend Chantal to my friend she is on day number 2 and already has amazing results. We joked, calling Chantal the woman that whispered in baby ears! She really is magic!!!!! Thank you so much, Chantal, from Alex, Laura and Keelan.
I highly recommend Chantal and her services! When we started working with Chantal, my 10-month-old son was waking every 2 hours during the night, and I was completely exhausted. With her gentle, responsive, supportive, respectful and personalized guidance, my baby built healthy sleep habits. Now he falls asleep on his own and sleeps 12 hours straight, something I never thought would be possible! Chantal gave me so much confidence as a mother. She is always available to answer questions and explain the process. Thanks to her, our whole family is finally well-rested and happier. She adjusted every single detail in our routine and nutrition and truly changed our lives! I wish we contacted her sooner! We can’t thank her enough!
We honestly can’t thank Chantal enough. She has helped us with both of our kids and truly saved us. We were exhausted, overwhelmed, and unsure what to do, but her guidance was gentle, supportive, and effective. Within such a short time, our little ones were sleeping so much better, and we finally felt like ourselves again. She didn’t just give us a plan she gave us confidence, reassurance, and ongoing support that made all the difference. If you’re struggling with sleep, don’t wait she is an absolute game changer.
Chantel has been amazing! My 18 month old protested going to sleep every single night. We would have to let her stay awake later or take her in the car just to get her to go to sleep. Now 2.5 weeks later she actually asks us to go to bed, goes down with no fuss and we then don’t hear a peep from her! For both her day time nap and bedtime! Truly Chantel has been incredible and so supportive checking in and answering all our questions also changing tactics when we felt we needed to, she has been so supportive! Highly recommend if you are looking for a sleep consultant! Thanks so much!
LIFE CHANGING. Highly highly recommend Baby Sleep Magic, 100% worth every penny for a good night's sleep. Chantal works some serious magic! She is super friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. Within the first night, my 10 month old had dropped a night feed, and within a week had started sleeping through the night for the first time ever. Chantal made sure to check in with me frequently and continued to give advice and support where needed. She is seriously amazing.
Chantal is incredible! Our family has become so much happier after finally being able to have some sleep. My daughter is 13months and has never been able to sleep through the night, always relying on bottles to soothe her back to sleep. Chantel’s advice now has her not only sleeping through the night but also going to sleep independently. It was the best decision we have made. Baby number 2 is on its way and we will definitely be in contact to make sure we start off on the right foot.
Thank you so much!!!
Chantal helped my son achieve longer naps and sleeping through the night at 7 months. I was reading books, looking online for advice on sleep and was trying everything but nothing worked until I had Chantal come over and give advice.
It has been life changing to get sleep again for our whole family! She listened to our concerns and the advice is very personalised to our own needs! Definitely recommend Baby Sleep Magic 🙌🏼
I put off working with a sleep consultant because I thought I had all the information. I read the books, joined the forums, and analysed other people’s routines. But after nine months of sleep deprivation, I finally reached out to Baby Sleep Magic on a friend’s recommendation.
To be honest, it’s not magic — it’s Chantal. Chantal’s pragmatic approach, combined with her genuine compassion, gives you the confidence you need to embark on such an emotionally charged journey. Her ongoing support made it feel like we had a live-in sleep consultant — no time to second-guess myself.
It didn’t happen overnight, but my partner and I are floored by the results. Sleep deprivation is no joke. We highly, highly recommend Chantal’s services — a true professional who has saved my sanity.
We cannot thank Chantal enough. Her methods and guidance have worked wonders for our bubba. I thought I had done all the research on baby sleep, and still nothing was working for us. Until we worked with Chantal and followed her methods… by night 3 our 4 month old put himself to sleep (without any cry it out methods). We couldn’t believe it. Of course we still have the occasional hiccups with his sleep, but from where we started, the improvement is incredible! Chantal’s guidance and responsiveness whenever we were struggling was unmatched. We are so grateful! We cannot recommend Chantal enough.
Can’t thank Chantal enough! We engaged her for a home consult hoping she could help our 11 week old to go to sleep without needing to be rocked/swayed before transferring or carrier naps in the day. I had a back injury that flared up and felt desperate. Honestly, we had low expectations given a lot of sisters/friends said our baby was “too young” to learn to self-settle. We thought we just had to “wait it out” (but my back wasn’t waiting any longer). We read her long list of 5-star reviews and emailed her straight away. Chantal gave us the tools we were missing, tweaked some things we were already implementing and overall gave us confidence that we were on the right track! Our baby learnt to self-settle in her cot within days, learnt to resettle to link sleep cycles and started sleeping longer stretches at night! We completely turned a corner & know that with age, time, practice and consistency, it’ll only get better. My back is singing Chantal’s praises!
Chantal is kind, understanding and most importantly, passionate about baby sleep. Her approach is gentle and very family-centred. She really is *magic*!
We loved having Chantal come to our home so we could meet her and chat about troubleshooting — something the books don’t offer! We found her app incredibly insightful too with a plethora of information for various ages. A tool we will continue to refer back to as our baby grows!
Our only regret is not finding Chantal sooner! So really, it can be done before a certain “age”! Thank you SO much!!!
Chantal has truly changed our lives! I can’t thank her enough. My husband and I were exhausted because our baby used to wake up every 2–3 hours during the night, and we didn’t know what to do. But after following her guidance, our baby now sleeps through the whole night without waking up. It’s Chantal’s magic! The best thing was that the baby changed the sleeping pattern almost the next day!! She was available through the first night and really was emotionally invested in our success. The best baby sleep specialist on the Gold Coast!!!
I had a wonderful experience working with Chantal recently when my 3 year old daughter started having some sleep issues. Within 10 days my daughter was sleeping on her own again which was life changing for me. She went from needing to be patted and me being in the room, to independent sleep. Can’t thank Chantal enough for her support, responsiveness and fast results.
Very grateful for the support we received from Chantal! We reached out for support with our 7 month old boy to help with self settling and transitioning from contact to cot naps. With a few changes and recommendations, we saw major improvement within a few weeks. He was sleeping through the night and having all naps in his cot! Chantal was always super responsive to any questions we had and supported us all throughout. Could not recommend enough!
