Hi there, and welcome to Happy Snoozers Sleep Consultant! I’m Marina, and I’m absolutely delighted to help you and your family on the journey to better sleep and brighter days. For me, sleep is about so much more than just getting through the night—it’s the foundation for your child’s growth, emotional well-being, and independence. But just as importantly, it’s about you, as parents, finding balance, energy, and the space to enjoy the precious moments of parenthood. I know firsthand how challenging sleepless nights can be, and I want you to know—you’re not alone. I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Caring for children has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Since I was 18 years old, I’ve been dedicated to helping little ones grow, learn, and thrive. My journey began in Spain, where I worked as a nanny, Spanish teacher, and Early Years Practitioner while earning my degree in Early Years Teaching. Those early experiences taught me so much about understanding children’s needs and how vital sleep is for their development. From there, I moved to London, working with families as a nanny and later as a nursery teacher. Along the way, one thing became crystal clear: when children sleep well, everything improves—for them and for their parents.

That realization led me to take the next step in my journey and become a certified Infant Sleep Consultant. I trained with an incredible mentor all the way from New Zealand, and through that process, I deepened my knowledge and gained the tools to help families find the rest they deserve. My approach is holistic, evidence-based, and completely tailored to your family’s unique needs, values, and parenting style. Every family is different, and I believe in listening first—understanding what you’re going through, what your goals are, and what works for you. From there, we’ll create a sleep plan that feels practical, gentle, and, most importantly, doable.

I know how overwhelming it can feel when you’re running on empty. On nights when I haven’t slept well, I’ve found it harder to bring my full energy, patience, and focus to caring for the children I cherish. And if I felt that way after just one tough night, I can only imagine how much more challenging it is for parents who experience this night after night. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping families not only find solutions but feel supported throughout the process. You don’t have to do this alone—I’ll be right here to guide you, cheer you on, and help you troubleshoot along the way.

For your child, sleep is a cornerstone of everything: brain development, learning, emotional regulation, and even social growth. A well-rested child is curious, engaged, and ready to explore the world around them. But sleep is just as important for you. Parenthood is such a rewarding journey, but it can also be exhausting and overwhelming, especially when you’re not getting the rest you need. I’ve seen how transformative it is when parents reclaim their nights and wake up feeling recharged. It’s not just about sleep—it’s about giving you the energy, patience, and joy to fully embrace parenthood.

One of the things I value most is helping children develop independence at their own pace. Encouraging independence doesn’t mean letting go—it means giving your child the confidence and tools to grow. Sleep is one of the first ways children can learn to self-regulate, and I gently guide them through that process while ensuring they feel secure, supported, and loved. At the same time, I focus on creating a positive, calming bedtime experience that works for you as parents. After all, when children sleep better, parents do too—and that creates a ripple effect of joy, balance, and connection for the whole family.

Parenthood isn’t just about caring for your child—it’s also about caring for yourself and, if you’re partnered, nurturing your relationship. You deserve to feel supported, well-rested, and like your best self. I know how hard it can be to find time for self-care, reconnect with your partner, or simply enjoy a quiet moment, but those things matter. They help you show up for your family in the best way possible. Together, we’ll create a healthier, happier dynamic where everyone has the space to grow, thrive, and feel deeply connected.

Helping families find balance and rest isn’t just my job—it’s my mission and my passion. There’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing a family go from exhausted and overwhelmed to rested and recharged. I’m here to make this process as gentle, stress-free, and supportive as possible. Together, we’ll uncover the sleep solutions that work best for your family, and I’ll be here for you every step of the way.

You deserve to wake up every morning feeling rested, recharged, and ready to embrace all the joys of parenthood. I’d be honored to help you get there. Let’s work together to create a future filled with calm, connection, and those precious moments that matter most. Welcome to Happy Snoozers—I can’t wait to meet you!
