ALL ABOUT
CALM HAVEN
Hi! I'm Charlotte, an internationally certified child and infant sleep consultant. I am based in Christchurch, New Zealand. I have a husband, and three gorgeous children.
When I am not helping tired families, I am teaching young children! I am a primary school teacher with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Music and Education.
Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here.
When our first baby arrived, we were excited to start our family and continue our usual weekend adventures. But those plans quickly faded into the background as we navigated the exhausting reality of a cranky baby who wouldn’t sleep. I spent countless hours researching, trialing various sleep guides, and figuring out what truly worked — and slowly, I taught him how to sleep independently.
When I returned to work four days a week (just 19 weeks postpartum), we were lucky to have grandparents and preschool helping with care. This meant our son needed to be able to fall asleep easily and consistently for different caregivers. Establishing a simple, reliable routine made all the difference — and it was the beginning of our wonderful sleep journey.
Then came our second baby — our little pocket rocket! She challenged everything I thought I knew. I experienced sleep deprivation all over again and reached out to a sleep consultant for support. I learned even more, deepening my understanding of how to meet different sleep needs. By the time our third arrived, I felt confident and calm. I knew how to support her with flexible yet effective routines — naps on the go, independent settling, and long stretches of night sleep.
I’ve come to believe this deeply: when families sleep well, everything else becomes easier. Without sleep, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and miss the joy parenting can bring.
I’d love to support you and your whānau to find a rhythm that works. Let me help you rest well — so you can live well.
