Maria Fraser - 4-12 Month Sleep Support Group Sleep Coach

I’m mum to three kids; Ayla 9, Georgia 7 and Theo 3. Since becoming a mum I have been passionate about baby sleep and helping guide other parents with gentle sleep solutions. After finding myself helping friends and friends-of-friends with their babies I decided to qualify as a Sleep Consultant in 2015 through Baby Sleep Consultant Training Ltd.

I have been a long-time customer of The Sleep Store so when I saw they were advertising for a Sleep Coach in 2016 I just had to apply and have been here ever since! I love that we are so accessible to all parents - providing free expert advice and a safe space for parents to ask questions through a trusted brand.

Maria also oversees all of our other Sleep Support Groups and will often help us to reply to any sleep-related questions from customers. She also gives us valuable expert advice in our articles and e-books to ensure our infomration is accurate and up-to-date.
