An early pioneer of positive parenting education, Miriam has advised, supported and worked with parents and child health professionals for over 30years.  Her commitment to empower parents with full information regarding sleeptime safety awareness and settling skills for babies, newborn to two years, and assisting parents and surgeons with PWS (flat head) concerns has been, and is currently still the driving force behind the success of her business.
