There are not enough superlatives in the world to do justice to the work Hannah Love has done with our family. Hannah has totally transformed our lives in a way I never thought could happen. We have a 5 year old little boy, Rafferty, and a 2 year old daughter, Livia. Years (literally) of sleep deprivation and behavioural issues with our daughter lead to us contacting Hannah and I only wish we had done it sooner.
This wasn’t just sleep, Rafferty started school in September I wanted to ensure his afternoons were fun filled yet calm but what he came home to each day were attacks from his sister who had started to scratch and hit him at any opportunity. As well as that Livia would scream and cry as she fought not to be dressed which only added to the tension and was really distressing for everyone. Hannah helped us with her behaviour. The improvements were noticeable each day until one day Livia put her own coat and shoes on when I wasn’t even in the room. She was so proud and so happy – and so was I. Sticking to the rules meant there was no confusion for Livia, she now knows what is expected of her and enjoys participating choosing her own outfit or shoes.
As the struggles getting Livia to nap or go to bed at night became increasingly difficult, we fell into almost every trap – doing everything we knew was wrong – but we felt helpless to change the situation. At nearly 2 years old, we were still giving Livia a bottle of milk in an effort to get her to go to sleep which lead to us giving her more milk throughout the night to try to get her to go back to sleep. It was absolute torture, as she would still wake up up to 6 times a night.
There are countless other issues Hannah helped us with throughout our time working together to the point that I was fearful of our 6 weeks ending as the results we achieved have been life changing. Livia also seems more content and less tired, she no longer attacks her brother and they have even started to play together wonderfully. She still has her moments but the skills Hannah gave us mean we know how to deal with any issues in an effective way. Hannah is utterly amazing at what she does and it is thanks to her that we feel human again and have two very happy, well behaved (most of the time), well-fed and sleep satisfied children.
