About Me
Katie Tiffany
Certified Infant Sleep Consultant
Hi! My name is Katie. I grew up in North Yorkshire, and have spent most of my life living in Skipton, which is where I live with my son JJ and our long haired sausage dog Frankie!
I am a single mum to JJ, and it’s becoming a mum back in Sept 2022 that led me here, to supporting other families with their little one’s sleep! Whilst off work raising him, I found I became really fascinated with & passionate about all things infant sleep, so, I qualified as an Infant Sleep Consultant!​​​
​​
Like most new parents, I knew nothing about baby sleep before I had JJ - I had never thought much about it other than knowing they wake a lot in the night! I was expecting to be tired, but it wasn’t until I was living it, & so terribly sleep deprived day in, day out, with no light at the end of the tunnel (something I know now you can’t quite grasp until you are a parent yourself, no matter how much someone tells you!) that I started to focus on doing something about it.
Being a parent is hard, but being a single parent & doing it all alone, the night wakes, the exhaustion the next day, the trying to make sense of it all without a second person to bounce ideas off, or tag team & offer a helping hand - its A LOT! So to any parents out there, I see you. I've been there without a village of support. I can help.
Sleep deprivation is awful and it really does affect every other aspect of your life whether it be your physical health, mental health, relationships and can leave you feeling like absolutely everything is falling apart around you. I totally understand it, and have felt it myself.
If you feel now is the time to try and make some changes, please get in touch. Together we can make progress.​
My Approach
At Tired Mama, I only practice gentle & responsive techniques to help with your child's sleep. My goal is to empower parents with the knowledge they need and support them in helping their infants develop healthy sleep habits. I understand that every family is unique, and every child is different, and I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs, providing gradual and effective solutions.
Although sleep training is part of what i do, there is so much to discuss before that, it isn't always needed! So it really is worth reaching out. I am passionate about helping families and single parents, and sharing what I know, and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in peoples lives. My commitment to excellence and continuous improvement drives me to deliver the best possible service, and I am here to support you every step of the way on your journey to better sleep.
