Hello, I'm Evelyn Burdon.
I'm a former midwife and retired Health Visitor with a BSc (Hons) in Primary Care. During my 30-year NHS career, I specialised in child development, baby and toddler sleep, person-centred counselling, postnatal depression, and baby eczema. Supporting families has always been my passion, and helping parents overcome sleep challenges is something I truly love.
I also understand sleep deprivation on a personal level. I'm a mum to two daughters and a proud grandma to three. My own children didn't consistently sleep through the night until they started school, so I experienced seven years of broken sleep, exhaustion, and trying to stay awake during meetings. I know how overwhelming and isolating sleep deprivation can feel, which is why I approach every family with empathy, understanding, and absolutely no judgement.
After retiring from the NHS, I trained as a Baby and Toddler Sleep Consultant with a clear mission—to help as many families as possible enjoy better sleep. Since then, I've supported parents across the UK and internationally through my highly acclaimed book, and 1:1 Sleep Consultations.
For five years, I also provided home visit sleep consultations throughout South Manchester and Cheshire. I paused these during the COVID-19 pandemic, and I'm now delighted to reintroduce my Home Visit Sleep Support Package, giving local families the opportunity to receive personalised, hands-on support in the comfort of their own home.
I offer a free 15-minute discovery call before you book. This gives us the chance to chat about your concerns, discuss your little one's sleep, and make sure I'm the right fit for your family.
To arrange your free discovery call, simply text 07715 305 331
I look forward to supporting you and your little one on your journey to better sleep.
