About Lucy Wolfe

I am a Sleep Consultant, Relationship Mentor, and mother of four amazing children. I am the author of the bestselling books The Baby Sleep Solution and All About Baby Sleep – Your Questions Answered, and the creator of the 100% natural Sleep Through Bed and Body Sleep Spray and Relaxing Rub.

I hold a first-class honors Master’s degree in the Psychotherapy of Relationship Mentoring from Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) and am a graduate of University College Cork (UCC) in Parent Mentoring and Relationship Studies. I completed the Gentle Sleep Coach as well as Certification in Child Sleep Studies, attended the Naturally Nurturing Sleep Clinic,  and I have also completed specialised training for children aged 4-5 months. I am a certified Happiest Baby New Parent Educator, with an OCN-accredited certification in Postnatal Depression support. I am a current PhD student with (TUS) researching intergenerational perspectives of Irish mothers’ sleep experiences.  I engage in continuous professional development and personal reflection. I have been in practice, supporting and guiding parents for over 14 years.

I am the former European director and member of the Association of Professional Sleep Consultants, a member of the International Association of Child Sleep Consultants, and a (PV) Member of the Irish Association of Relationship Mentors.

As the resident sleep expert on Virgin Media One’s Ireland AM breakfast show, I am also a regular guest on Irish TV, including appearances on RTÉ’s Today Show. I have also hosted sleep segments on Ireland AM titled “Baby Bedtime Basics” (2013) and “Sleeping Beauties” (2018), and appeared as a sleep expert on The Morning Show (2012) and Midday (2014). Additionally, I contributed to the RTÉ documentary Awake – The Science of Sleep (2017).  My work has been widely featured in the media, both in Ireland and further afield. I regularly contribute to sleep articles for parenting publications.

In addition, I work with leading corporations to help reduce sleep deprivation in the workplace. I serve as the resident sleep expert for several consumer websites and frequently appear on national television and radio broadcasts.

As a busy mum of four, I empathize with the sleep challenges parents face, both from my own experience and as a professional. No one sets out to have a sleep issue, but sleep challenges can quickly become ingrained and difficult to overcome, leaving parents exhausted and unsure of how to proceed. These challenges may be evident from the early days or can emerge as a child grows. It’s never too early to start laying the foundation for healthy sleep habits, and it’s never too late to address existing sleep issues.

Through my own parenting journey, I was frustrated by the limited resources and ineffective methods available—many of which neglected the emotional well-being of both the child and the parents. The options seemed to be either “tough love” or giving up on sleep altogether. This motivated me to pursue training and develop a gentle approach that encourages positive sleep practices without using harsh methods like controlled crying or cry-it-out techniques.

Drawing on my training and experience with families, I developed a holistic approach that honors the science of sleep while synchronizing with your child’s natural rhythms. My Stay-and-Support approach, along with other child-centered adjustments, helps parents foster healthier sleep patterns in an emotionally supportive way, leading to sustainable, long-term improvements rather than quick fixes.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach for any family. The personalized recommendations I provide will empower you to feel confident and supported on your parenting journey.
