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.

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."
