Good to know

Questions parents ask before they book

Do you use cry-it-out or controlled crying?

No. Every Parenting Collective sleep package is responsive and never cry-it-out. You stay in the room with your child, supporting them while they learn the skill of falling asleep. Donna Moala is a Sleep Sense certified consultant, and every plan is built around your child's temperament and your family's values rather than a fixed timetable.

How long does it take to improve my child's sleep?

Most families see meaningful change within the first week. The Optimal Sleep Package runs for 21 days of dedicated 1:1 support, with a plan personalised to your child's age and temperament, unlimited WhatsApp support and phone calls throughout — so you are never left alone to interpret a PDF at 2am.

What ages do you support with sleep?

Newborns through to teens. Sleep support is grouped into four age bands — newborn (0–3 months), baby and young toddler, toddler and preschooler, and older children and teens (4–16 years) — because a four month regression, a cot to big kid bed transition and a teenager's bedtime screens each need a different plan.

My toddler has never slept through. Is it too late for us?

No. There is no age at which sleep stops being learnable. Older children who have never slept independently often move faster than parents expect, because they can understand the plan and take part in it. Donna regularly works with families whose children are three, five or ten and still waking overnight.

Do you offer in-home sleep consults in Perth, or is it all online?

Both. Donna Moala is based in Perth, Western Australia, and offers in-home consultations across the Perth metropolitan area. Families anywhere in the world work with her over Zoom, with the same personalised plan, private family sleep portal and daily check-ins through the Rested App logging system.

Tonight could be the last hard night.

Fifteen minutes with Donna. No cost, no pressure, just an honest conversation about what’s happening in your home and what’s possible.
