Chesca Hemandas
Hi! I’m Chesca and I am the regional representative for Asia. I am currently based in Manila, Philippines and have been a certified sleep consultant since 2018. It has been an interesting journey introducing sleep training where I am from as it was relatively unheard of a few years ago. It sure has taken off over the past few years and I’m honoured to be a part of it! I love helping families understand the importance of sleep and watching them become fascinated as their child learns good sleep habits.

Fiona Hauptman
Hi Members, I'm Fiona, originally from the UK and living in Israel for 30 years. In 2009, I opened the Baby Base Center for Child Development and Sleep Therapy, which houses five therapists specializing in pediatric therapy. I noticed that tired parents were seeking help not only for their children's sleep issues but also for their own. This led me to further my education to support both parents and adults with sleep problems. I'm deeply passionate about child development and sleep and proud to welcome thousands of babies to the Baby Base center each year for workshops and individual therapies. My expertise extends worldwide, providing consultations on sleep and development.

Hi everyone. I’m Heather the regional representative for Ireland & United Kingdom. I live in Wicklow, Ireland. I qualified in 2021. My company The Lullaby Lady LTD was established then and I had had the pleasure of working with over a thousand families in the last few years. As more and more great sleep consultants become qualified I am hoping that I can help and encourage them and that the industry can work as a team.
