Unparalleled expertise & care

16 years of paediatric sleep experience and compassionate 1:1 support

Eve - Calm & Bright baby sleep consultant UK

Eve

C+B Founder, Certified Sleep Supporter, Mum of 4

In 2009, Eve was an exhausted first-time Mum, staunchly against any kind of sleep training.

Her 10 month old baby was waking and feeding every 1-2 hours. Exhausted to her bones, she had a minor car collision with her baby on board. She knew things had to change.

Refusing to ‘Cry It Out’ but knowing she could not go on as she was, Eve devised her own super-responsive, baby-led approach to suit her baby’s temperament and her own attached parenting style.

Within 3 nights her baby was sleeping 12+ hours. For the next 5 years, Eve voluntarily helped local families through the local Health Visiting team. 100+ families (and a 100% success rate) later, she trained to become a paediatric sleep consultant and C&B was born.

Eve’s passion lies in helping exhausted parents unlock the blockers that prevent them from accessing a rested life, using her unique compassion, insight and contagious hopefulness.

As well as being the proud mum of four wonderful humans, and wife-to-be to Andrew, Eve is an author, a speaker, a writer and a lover of all things outdoors.

Gem - Calm & Bright baby sleep consultant UK

Gem

C+B Director, Paediatric Nurse, Mum of 4

Gem is a paediatric nurse with over 20 years of experience caring for babies, children, and their families. She trained at the Evelina School of Nursing at King’s College London and has spent 18 years nursing children across a wide range of settings, developing particularly deep expertise in infant reflux, complex early feeding and sleep challenges.

At the heart of Gem’s expertise is a deep understanding of sleep deprivation and the impact it has on families as well as a belief that truly compassionate, skilled sleep support changes lives.

Gem went into nursing to save children’s lives, and 20 years on, she is still doing exactly that – just in a different way.

Supporting families to rest, regulate, heal, and thrive has a profound ripple effect, and the work she does now is every bit as important and life-changing as her clinical beginnings.

Gem is an author, public speaker, and writer, using her voice to advocate for gentle, evidence-based, compassionate support for families in the early years.

Gem is a mum to 4 and lives by the sea in Devon with her brood and husband Jim.

Anna - Calm & Bright baby sleep consultant UK

Shaped by kindness, patience and care

Calm & Bright was founded by sisters Eve and Gem, who have dedicated their careers to supporting babies, children and families during some of the most challenging early years of life. Through their clinical work, and through supporting thousands of families one-to-one, Eve and Gem saw a pattern. Parents weren’t lacking effort or love when it came to their family’s sleep. They were lacking clear, compassionate guidance that respected both their child’s needs and their own instincts. Sleep struggles leave families feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure of themselves.

Eve and Gem founded Calm & Bright to change that experience. Their approach is rooted in evidence-based practice, attachment, and deep understanding of child development. Just as importantly, it is shaped by kindness, patience, and genuine care for the families they support.

When you work with Calm & Bright, you are supported by Eve and Gem personally

They take the time to listen, to understand your child, and to adapt their guidance as your family grows and changes. There is no judgement, no pressure, and no rigid rulebook to follow.

Instead, families are given the clarity, reassurance, and confidence they need to create calm bedtimes, predictable rhythms, and sleep foundations that last far beyond the baby years. Calm & Bright exists to help families feel rested, supported, and secure again. Because when sleep is sound, everything else feels lighter too.

Hear from families just like yours

Five years ago, we reached out to Calm & Bright when my daughter was 5 months old. It was the best choice we ever made!

She was struggling with day naps and night time struggles. Gem was our real life sleep angel, with us every step of the way. The plan worked perfectly and within 3 days Azryah was self soothing and sleeping all night for 7pm-7am. I cannot recommend the team enough. She is now 5 years old and still sleeps like an angel.

Yas & Azyrah

It’s not sleep training, it’s total transformation. Both our children now sleep 11 hours a night and so do we.

James, Pip, Alfie & Finley

Our life began again the day we got the plan! I literally cannot thank these ladies enough! They saved my sanity! They gave my daughter sleep!

Eve & Gem are two of the most genuine and caring people. I knew instantly I would trust my babies with them! My biggest fears about breaking attachment, cortisol flooding the brain etc suddenly were all explained in a way they didn’t worry me anymore.

It took one night! I was blown away!! She was so much happier. I’d been depriving our little girl of much needed sleep! Our life began again the day we got this plan.

Sally & Trixie

I sent Eve & Gem a voice message to see if they could help with my 2 year old daughter’s sleep (I wasn’t sure as I live in South East Asia) and I can honestly say it was the best decision I ever made.

I made my cry for help in utter brokenness but as Eve walked me through their programme and alongside me in implementing it, everything began to change. I am so thankful and now when sleep challenges arise I truly am equipped to engage the process and be the best Mama I can be! Thank you C&B!

Tori

Eve & Gem made the entire process feel so stress free. Validating our feelings from the beginning & truly listening to what we wanted to achieve.

They have helped us with our eldest boy both as a baby & as a 4 year old, both times have been literally life changing for us!!! & I’m sure we’ll be in contact when our littlest is older too.
