Most people don’t struggle because they lack training. They struggle because they don’t know how to turn it into something that actually works.
These are real stories from professionals who were in that exact position, and what changed after they joined Babyem.
Structured Professional Pathways
Each course has a distinct identity – here’s what our graduates say.
"I am always fully booked and set my own hours."
Holistic Sleep Coaching
"I replaced my part-time income within my first month of completing the programme."
Build, Thrive & Scale
"I now command premium rates and work exclusively with high-net-worth families."
“I searched for quite a while to find a course, and what won me over with Babyem is how attentive they are…. The course exceeded my expectations and explored all possible topics that I could imagine, all of which were based on scientific research. If you are looking for something that can actually teach you about how to be a Maternity Nurse in depth, you will not be disappointed. Thank you, Babyem!”
"The Holistic Sleep Coaching Program is an innovative and refreshing approach for those seeking to refine their sleep skill-set, encompassing a broad range of essential topics that impact a child’s healthy sleep habits."
"I was drowning in 1:1 work, always chasing new clients. After working with Emma, I finally built a system that gives me predictable income and freedom. Now, I have more time for myself and my family. I generated a month’s income in just 10 days. The program has transformed not only my business but also the lives of the families I support."
"The Babyem course is a fantastic resource to learn about perinatal mental illness. It has content from clinical and perinatal psychologists who do very short, informative, and easy-to-follow videos, so you can learn as you go along. The course itself is split into little sections, when it looks at things such as transition to parenthood; all the different perinatal mental illnesses, so you can learn about symptoms and how it affects parents; partners becoming parents; and then also teaching people how they can look after themselves. It's a really useful guide to go through, and at the end of each section is a quiz, so you can test yourself and your learning, and then you can go back and do some more reading and go back and re-quiz yourself as well."
“This is a topic that is so needed, and there is so little evidence-based research out there for parents.”
Colic & Reflux
"It changes lives. I love unpicking complicated situations, and I love figuring out what options suit individual families. I get a huge sense of fulfillment when parents start enjoying their children again, when they get that light bulb moment where it all makes sense, and they feel confident as a parent once again. There’s nothing better."
"I completed 4 placements with Babyem, which were a mixture of multiples and single babies. I gained such diverse experience that was invaluable, including supporting the care of a baby with a severe kidney condition (referred from Great Ormond St Hospital), and also with a baby that had a severe dermatological skin condition. Although I had worked as a nanny for 16 years prior to completing the maternity nurse training, without this course and the placements and ongoing support, I don’t think I would have been working as a Maternity Nurse. I learnt so much evidence-based information that really helped me understand the importance of why certain approaches are followed. Having such a qualified teacher made a big difference, as being a known Lactation Consultant and Sleep Specialist, I felt confident that we were being taught the most up-to-date methods, but also coming from someone who deals with complex issues on a daily basis through her own practice."
“This course is so needed. It is a welcome alternative to other courses using much more gentle methods without the need to leave the baby to cry, which is unacceptable to many families. It incorporates small changes to routine and environment, which can make a big difference to sleep. It is very adaptable to each family’s situation. I will certainly be incorporating these ideas in my work with twin and triplet families.”
"I’ve made more money in 3 months than I did all of last year. The program has transformed my business, and I never offer discounts anymore—the right clients come to me, and it’s easy to sell!"
"I really valued the insights I gained from this course. As an IBCLC and NHS tongue-tie specialist midwife, I found it to be a thorough, well-researched, informative training course. I would highly recommend it, especially to fellow midwives, health visitors, paediatric and neonatal nurses, doctors, and anyone with a keen interest in restrictive lingual frenulum (tongue-tie). Sarah has a huge knowledge base on the subject, which she shares here. She is honest about what we do not yet know, and about the myths and controversies involved in the subject."
"It’s the best investment you can make in your ongoing training, if you enjoy working in a truly gentle and evidence-based way with families. And the support network is second to none!"
“Very Informative, especially regarding Cow Milk Protein Allergy”
Colic & Reflux
"What I loved most about HSCP is the invaluable and thoroughly in-depth training provided by Lyndsey and the speakers delivering their varying content to the course. I love the community and the ongoing support from the team and students/graduates. The feeling of believing that ‘everyone has your back’ is incredibly reassuring."
“The Holistic Sleep Coaching Program is a comprehensive training program for practitioners seeking in-depth knowledge of infant sleep and related topics. The content is evidence-based and includes guest lectures from well-known experts in these fields.”
“The course is supported by a sound evidence base of up-to-date literature. I would thoroughly recommend this course to any professional wishing to update their training on how to support parents with normal infant sleep.”
"I sold out my first program completely. I didn’t even believe it myself, but the strategies Emma taught were game-changing. I’m now fully booked with a waitlist!"
“I was looking to expand my skillset to support parents better. There were so many sleep courses out there. The Holistic Sleep Coaching Program is the most comprehensive course with such an impressive list of speakers. The online modules are so user-friendly, with course content available to read and listen to. The course is thoroughly evidence-based, and provides knowledge beyond sleep on a huge range of topics.”
“This course was a real eye-opener for me, especially looking at how tongue-tie affects both bottle-fed and breastfed babies! The course was well put together and I now feel better able to support the families I’m working with.”
"For me, it was a degree-level professional education on everything you need to know about sleep, not just a philosophy to follow. The course introduced me to some very creative ways to support families to sleep better that support the attachment of children. If you are thinking about doing the course, you won’t be disappointed, it is packed full of value, is always updated with new information and functions to make our work easier. I’ve done lots of training and courses, and hands down this is the most comprehensive."
“Informative, factual and scientific information - Best CPD I have done to date”
Colic & Reflux
“My work has literally quadrupled since completing the training, and I now have a sustainable business. The marketing week was a life-changer. I previously thought I had this figured out with a reasonable social media following that was bringing in work, but it has really changed how I operate in my business and my life! I now truly value myself and the time I give families properly.”
“The course is detailed and analytic, and I especially enjoyed the wealth of supporting strategies and videos with Sarah Oakley, which demonstrated her extensive experience and passion for the subject. As a result of this course, I feel better equipped to support mums and their infants throughout their breastfeeding journeys and highly recommend this course for all professionals supporting families and infants.”
"The Holistic Sleep Coaching Program, designed and delivered by Lyndsey Hookway, is a comprehensive training programme for practitioners seeking in-depth knowledge of infant sleep and related topics (e.g., feeding difficulties, SIDS, temperament, anxiety, allergies, sleep pathologies). The content is evidence-based and includes guest lectures from well-known experts in these fields."
"Amazing course with lots of valuable information. As English is not my native language, I can say that everything was understandable. Also, the email support is top-notch."
"Thank you so much for the wonderful course. I learn more about babies and parents' sleep. Highly recommend it to every mom and dad; it will truly help them to understand babies and the world around them. I enjoyed it immensely."
“The course was incredibly educational and provided me with invaluable skills for caring for vulnerable babies. I especially appreciate the practical advice on supporting infants with trapped gas and the detailed information on how specific medications can help reduce bacterial strain and support the immune system. I feel so much more confident and well-equipped in my role thanks to this training. Highly recommended for anyone in this field.”
"This course was incredibly helpful and well-structured. The content was evidence-based and easy to follow, and the resources provided were excellent for completing the assessment. I feel much more confident in my understanding of infant sleep. Highly recommend for anyone interested in becoming a gentle sleep educator!"
"Very reasonably🎉"
"Amazing course, it's lots of useful information."
"I have really enjoyed this course and feel I have learnt so much. This course has filled me with the confidence that I will be a great value to families during the first months of their newborn's life. Thank you, Emma and Team, for creating such an interactive and knowledge-filled course!"
"Amazing course, learnt so much. Thank you, Babyem."
"I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The content was clear, informative, and very well presented. There was a lot of practical information that I can use within my practice, and I gained so much knowledge and confidence from completing it. I'm really glad I signed up and would highly recommend it."
"I found Babyem and their holistic sleep coaching program after a long search for a reliable sleep course. Studying sleep coaching with Dr. Lyndsey Hookway was one of the best experiences I've ever had in my career. With all the information provided, not only do you learn, but you also know how to put it into practice. The course doesn't end with the study alone; on top of that, the weekly ongoing support from Lyndsey ensures that both you and the families you work with achieve the best outcomes. Being part of the weekly discussion group also gives you the opportunity to connect with other professionals who are truly passionate about this field. Setting up a business is not easy, but the information that Emma Dewey shares in the course and during group discussions is incredibly valuable. It's a true privilege to receive support from Emma, who has extensive experience in the field. I can't thank Lyndsey Hookway, Emma Dewey, and the entire team enough for helping me become a sleep coach I am truly proud of."
"This was very informative. The videos that complemented the course were very helpful."
"I followed this sleeping coach program because I want to support parents as a baby sleep coach. The program gave me a solid foundation, helpful structure, and practical tools to understand infant sleep better. While there is still room to go deeper and make some elements more personalized, it was a valuable learning experience that helped shape my approach."
"Excellent course, totally recommend for everyone working in the field of maternal mental health"
“A great and informative course!”
"This is my 3rd Course with BabyEm, I love how the courses are laid out and that you can revisit the course content."
"I highly recommend Babyem's courses. I learned a lot of new information, which was presented in a very interesting and engaging way. I am really excited."
“I completed the Maternity Nurse course with Babyem and highly recommend it! It was professional, comprehensive, and gave me the skills and confidence to support families after birth.”
"I recently completed a sleep coaching course and found it incredibly insightful and practical. It deepened my understanding of infant and child sleep, offering gentle, evidence-based strategies I can confidently apply in my work with families. Highly recommended for anyone in child care."
"I highly recommend the Holistic Sleep Coaching Programme (HSCP) to anyone wishing to work with families around sleep, or seeking to expand their knowledge in this important area. It is, without question, one of the most thorough and enriching courses I have completed. It is genuinely holistic. The depth of content extends well beyond sleep science, incorporating child development, attachment theory, responsive parenting, and evidence-based approaches. This is delivered with a strong focus on practical application. It truly lives up to its holistic title. I was already working with families, and I was eager to strengthen my understanding of sleep and address the gaps I felt existed in the support I could offer to parents. The HSCP exceeded all expectations. It gave me the clarity, confidence, and evidence I needed to support families with more depth and care. The support throughout and crucially following the course is second to none. The passion Lyndsey and Emma bring is evident in the level of detail, thought, and care embedded in every aspect of the training. They are so deeply committed to their students and graduates, and it shows. In addition to the extensive learning around sleep and family support, the programme also offers invaluable guidance on how to build and market your own practice. They have so effectively balanced both professional and business development. Look no further. If you're looking for a well-rounded, respectful, and expertly designed programme that keeps the wellbeing of families and children at its core, this is it. The HSCP has allowed me the confidence and the tools to move forward and build a business, and fulfil my passion for working with families."
"Such an interesting course, packed with information, videos, webinars and great instructors who are so inspirational in their passion and knowledge for their chosen speciality. You'd be hard pressed to find a better course."
“I loved doing this course. I was able to do it in my own time and really get to understand the theory behind maternity nursing. The staff have always been on hand to answer any questions, especially Emma. There is a wealth of support and course resources available.”
“The evidence based training I have received from Babyem is amazing. The courses are well written, informative and uncomplicated to complete. I have attended their 2 day in person training too and highly recommend it. Babyem has given me the confidence, skills and knowledge to confidently work in newborn care. Thank you 😊”
"If I could give 10 stars, I would! Emma and Lyndsey go above and beyond, not just in their knowledge, but in how they show up for every student. I started my journey with Babyem years ago, and each time I return for further training, I feel more supported, more confident, and more part of something meaningful. This isn't just a sleep course, they genuinely help you grow both personally and professionally. Thank you both for creating such a welcoming, empowering space."

Overall, this course has significantly enhanced my professional qualifications and prepared me to offer the highest level of care to families. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to advance their career as a Maternity Nurse.”
"I did the level 6 holistic sleep coaching course with Lyndsey Hookway. I have done other sleep courses and this one is by far the best! So much evidence based information and I learnt so many different ways to help families. The after care is amazing and you really feel part of a community. Lyndsey and team are always there to support and answer questions. Lyndsey provides coaching calls after the course which are so good! I would 100% recommend it to anyone wanting to become a sleep coach. Thank you!"
"Found Babyem Level 4, plus bonus segment to be an excellent course, with loads of support from London. Regardless of where you live in the world, or the wifi capabilities provided.

Thanks to Francis and the Babyem team."

"Very complete course full of research and useful information and also lots of support. I really enjoyed it and recommend it. Thank you!"
"Excellent course!!! 🌟🌟 I've done a tongue-tie course before a few years ago via a different company and it's really good to refresh my knowledge.

"Having already done a sleep course, I thought I already knew a lot about sleep but I learnt something new in every single lesson of every module. I love how evidence and science based it is.

I'd recommend this course to anyone wanting to become a sleep consultant!"

"I really appreciate the opportunity to do an online theory course, as it gives me time to read and reread. I can do it whenever I have time, and it is a place I can come back to again to renew my knowledge.

Thank you so much, and looking forward to a practical meeting with Pediatric first aid specialists."

"The courses are well organised, and the material presented is easy for you."
"I have just completed The Holistic Sleep Coaching Program through Babyem, and I can't recommend it enough to everyone who wishes to succeed in the infant sleep industry outside of the mainstream sleep training practices. Having trained with Lyndsey Hookway and Emma Dewy has been an enormous privilege, as well as a massive enhancement to my career. There is no better sleep coaching program offered by other providers, and you won't find anything as comprehensive as this. From sleep biology to cultural competency, communication and marketing. I gained the knowledge and developed a competitive skill set to support the most complex cases thanks to this program."
"Very good training. I just wish the practical training was spread over two days, as it is a lot of information to take in."

Build, Thrive & Scale
"I launched my business in August 2020, and I was fully booked by the end of the year. I am now booked 1-2 months in advance. When I left my job and lockdown hit, I decided to take the time to re-evaluate my career. In the simplest sense, the course made me a true holistic sleep consultant. It gives you a grounding, in fact, an understanding of biology and real tools to analyse a situation. It equips you to give an honestly bespoke service."
“I searched for quite a while to find a course, and what won me over with Babyem is how attentive they are….

"I found Babyem and their holistic sleep coaching program after a long search for a reliable sleep course. Studying sleep coaching with Dr. Lyndsey Hookway was one of the best experiences I've ever had in my career. With all the information provided, not only do you learn, but you also know how to put it into practice. The course doesn't end with the study alone; on top of that, the weekly ongoing support from Lyndsey ensures that both you and the families you work with achieve the best outcomes. Being part of the weekly discussion group also gives you the opportunity to connect with other professionals who are truly passionate about this field. Setting up a business is not easy, but the information that Emma Dewey shares in the course and during group discussions is incredibly valuable. It's a true privilege to receive support from Emma, who has extensive experience in the field. I can't thank Lyndsey Hookway, Emma Dewey, and the entire team enough for helping me become a sleep coach I am truly proud of."
"I followed this sleeping coach program because I want to support parents as a baby sleep coach. The program gave me a solid foundation, helpful structure, and practical tools to understand infant sleep better. While there is still room to go deeper and make some elements more personalized, it was a valuable learning experience that helped shape my approach."
"I recently completed a sleep coaching course and found it incredibly insightful and practical. It deepened my understanding of infant and child sleep, offering gentle, evidence-based strategies I can confidently apply in my work with families. Highly recommended for anyone in child care."
"I highly recommend the Holistic Sleep Coaching Programme (HSCP) to anyone wishing to work with families around sleep, or seeking to expand their knowledge in this important area. It is, without question, one of the most thorough and enriching courses I have completed. It is genuinely holistic. The depth of content extends well beyond sleep science, incorporating child development, attachment theory, responsive parenting, and evidence-based approaches. This is delivered with a strong focus on practical application. It truly lives up to its holistic title. I was already working with families, and I was eager to strengthen my understanding of sleep and address the gaps I felt existed in the support I could offer to parents. The HSCP exceeded all expectations. It gave me the clarity, confidence, and evidence I needed to support families with more depth and care. The support throughout and crucially following the course is second to none. The passion Lyndsey and Emma bring is evident in the level of detail, thought, and care embedded in every aspect of the training. They are so deeply committed to their students and graduates, and it shows. In addition to the extensive learning around sleep and family support, the programme also offers invaluable guidance on how to build and market your own practice. They have so effectively balanced both professional and business development. Look no further. If you're looking for a well-rounded, respectful, and expertly designed programme that keeps the wellbeing of families and children at its core, this is it. The HSCP has allowed me the confidence and the tools to move forward and build a business, and fulfil my passion for working with families."
"If I could give 10 stars, I would! Emma and Lyndsey go above and beyond, not just in their knowledge, but in how they show up for every student. I started my journey with Babyem years ago, and each time I return for further training, I feel more supported, more confident, and more part of something meaningful. This isn't just a sleep course, they genuinely help you grow both personally and professionally. Thank you both for creating such a welcoming, empowering space."
"The Holistic Sleep Coaching Program exceeded all my expectations. It's incredibly thorough, covering a wide range of topics from sleep biology to marketing your sleep coaching business. I also love the fact that you get lifetime support and coaching from Lyndsey and Emma. So you can feel confident about developing your coaching skills and creating a successful business."
"I did the level 6 holistic sleep coaching course with Lyndsey Hookway. I have done other sleep courses and this one is by far the best! So much evidence based information and I learnt so many different ways to help families. The after care is amazing and you really feel part of a community. Lyndsey and team are always there to support and answer questions. Lyndsey provides coaching calls after the course which are so good! I would 100% recommend it to anyone wanting to become a sleep coach. Thank you!"
"Having already done a sleep course, I thought I already knew a lot about sleep but I learnt something new in every single lesson of every module. I love how evidence and science based it is. When there's so much misinformation spread online, you know what you're learning on this course is accurate. I'm so grateful for the level of support too. I'd recommend this course to anyone wanting to become a sleep consultant!"
"This has been an amazing experience. I am very happy that I chose to take this course over the many other options out there. Babyem Holistic Sleep course offered all of the things I was looking for in a class. The team was incredibly helpful and the expert knowledge made me feel like I got the whole picture. I love the science and evidence backing and family centered approach. I feel very confident going out into my community and helping families with their sleep concerns. All thanks to Babyem. Thank you so much!"
"I have just completed The Holistic Sleep Coaching Program through Babyem, and I can't recommend it enough to everyone who wishes to succeed in the infant sleep industry outside of the mainstream sleep training practices. Having trained with Lyndsey Hookway and Emma Dewy has been an enormous privilege, as well as a massive enhancement to my career. There is no better sleep coaching program offered by other providers, and you won't find anything as comprehensive as this. From sleep biology to cultural competency, communication and marketing. I gained the knowledge and developed a competitive skill set to support the most complex cases thanks to this program."
"I launched my business in August 2020, and I was fully booked by the end of the year. I am now booked 1-2 months in advance. When I left my job and lockdown hit, I decided to take the time to re-evaluate my career. In the simplest sense, the course made me a true holistic sleep consultant. It gives you a grounding, in fact, an understanding of biology and real tools to analyse a situation. It equips you to give an honestly bespoke service."
"I was drowning in 1:1 work, always chasing new clients. After working with Emma, I finally built a system that gives me predictable income and freedom. Now, I have more time for myself and my family. I generated a month’s income in just 10 days. The program has transformed not only my business but also the lives of the families I support."
"I’ve made more money in 3 months than I did all of last year. The program has transformed my business, and I never offer discounts anymore—the right clients come to me, and it’s easy to sell!"
"I sold out my first program completely. I didn’t even believe it myself, but the strategies Emma taught were game-changing. I’m now fully booked with a waitlist!"
"4 new families joined my program this week. Just wanted to say, Emma Dewey, this program has transformed my life. I am only doing a handful of 1-1. I feel so free, so thank you!!"
Build, Thrive & Scale
"The Babyem course is a fantastic resource to learn about perinatal mental illness. It has content from clinical and perinatal psychologists who do very short, informative, and easy-to-follow videos, so you can learn as you go along. The course itself is split into little sections, when it looks at things such as transition to parenthood; all the different perinatal mental illnesses, so you can learn about symptoms and how it affects parents; partners becoming parents; and then also teaching people how they can look after themselves. It's a really useful guide to go through, and at the end of each section is a quiz, so you can test yourself and your learning, and then you can go back and do some more reading and go back and re-quiz yourself as well."
"I really valued the insights I gained from this course. As an IBCLC and NHS tongue-tie specialist midwife, I found it to be a thorough, well-researched, informative training course. I would highly recommend it, especially to fellow midwives, health visitors, paediatric and neonatal nurses, doctors, and anyone with a keen interest in restrictive lingual frenulum (tongue-tie). Sarah has a huge knowledge base on the subject, which she shares here. She is honest about what we do not yet know, and about the myths and controversies involved in the subject."
“This course was a real eye-opener for me, especially looking at how tongue-tie affects both bottle-fed and breastfed babies! The course was well put together and I now feel better able to support the families I’m working with.”
“The course is detailed and analytic, and I especially enjoyed the wealth of supporting strategies and videos with Sarah Oakley, which demonstrated her extensive experience and passion for the subject. As a result of this course, I feel better equipped to support mums and their infants throughout their breastfeeding journeys and highly recommend this course for all professionals supporting families and infants.”
"Excellent course, totally recommend for everyone working in the field of maternal mental health"
“This is a topic that is so needed, and there is so little evidence-based research out there for parents.”
