Meet Tara Mitchell

Leading Paediatric Sleep Expert | Founder of The Gentle Sleep Specialist

Hi, I’m Tara  - a former paediatric nurse, a mum, and founder of The Gentle Sleep Specialist.
With over 17 years' experience in paediatric health, child development, and infant and toddler sleep, I’m here to help you experience the life-changing transformation of better sleep.

My own journey began with my daughter Scarlett - an unsettled baby with CMPI and reflux  - and it led me to discover just how powerful the right sleep support can be.
Since then, my team and I have worked with thousands of families around the world, offering gentle, effective, and truly supportive solutions for children aged 0–9 years.

You don’t have to just “wait it out.”
Better sleep is possible - and it can change everything.

Why Choose The Gentle Sleep Specialist?

 

  • 10+ Years of Trusted Support
  • Thousands of Families Transformed
  • Gentle, Personalised Methods
  • Expert team across Sleep, Psychology, and Child Development
  • Resolve frequent waking, short naps, difficult bedtimes, contact to cot and much more!

You could spend months - even years - blaming regressions, teething, or developmental milestones...
But the truth is, great sleep isn’t a milestone your child has to “grow into.” It’s a skill -  and one they can learn with the right support.

Frequent dummy replacements, endless rocking, or feeding to sleep isn’t "normal infant sleep." - They're signs your little one may need gentle guidance and you deserve expert support.

That’s exactly what we offer:
👉 Online programs for children aged 3 months to 9 years, full access to our video library, tools, and daily personalised support, exclusive lives — all for just $139 AUD.

👉 One on One Prefer a more personalised approach? One-on-one support, where we guide you via phone every single day, tailored to your child and your unique situation.

Our Success Stories

"I cannot rate this
program enough!"


"We’re only two days in and my 5-month-old is already self-settling and only waking once for a feed. The difference it's made while also having a toddler is incredible! Thank you so much Tara and team - you've changed our lives!"

"After 18 months of sleep deprivation, it was life-changing"


"I was skeptical, but Tara made me feel safe and supported. From the first night, my son slept through. Worth every cent—we're all happier and healthier now."

Thousands of happy families and 5 star reviews.

Imagine Feeling Confident in Your Child’s Sleep

 

When your child sleeps well, it transforms everything:

  • Their emotional regulation, development, and health improves
  • You parent with more patience, clarity, and confidence
  • Your relationships, mental health, and joy return
  • Your child’s long-term sleep habits and bedtime security are strengthened

And most importantly—you stop surviving and start truly thriving.

The longer sleep struggles continue, the harder it can be.
The earlier we support your family, the faster we see beautiful results.
