Meet Donna
Global Sleep & Conscious Parenting Game-changer
Founder of Parenting Collective
Hey beautiful Mumma (Dad, Grandparent or Carer too!) I’m Donna, the heart and driving force behind Parenting Collective, a Certified Sleep Specialist and Conscious Parenting Coach, here to help you reclaim your nights, your confidence, and your joy in parenting.
For over two decades, I’ve been transforming family life across the globe, turning chaos into calm, exhaustion into energy, and overwhelm into deep connection.
My journey began like yours, deep in motherhood, craving answers and desperate for rest. I immersed myself in the science of sleep, earned my certifications, and combined them with 20+ years of lived experience to create a nurturing, responsive approach with a 100% success rate. No “Cry-It-Out,” just secure sleep foundations that last a lifetime, because when your child sleeps well, the whole family thrives.
Trained personally by world renowned Dr Shefali in Conscious Parenting, I can also guide you through the big emotions, power struggles, and curveballs of parenting toddlers, tweens, and teens. You will learn how to show up as the calm, confident, emotionally secure parent your child needs, without losing yourself in the process.
Families from Perth to Paris, Sydney to San Francisco work with me because I don’t just give you a plan, I walk alongside you through the rough nights, tricky days, and moments of doubt, until your family is living the peaceful, joy filled life you deserve. This could be the turning point for you and your family and I am here to help you take that first step.
AUSTRALIA’S LEADING SLEEP EXPERT
Sleep support isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your little one is unique, your parenting style is unique and I believe your sleep support should honour that.
At Parenting Collective, my priority is to make sure you feel fully supported, physically, emotionally, and mentally, every step of the way. I empower you with the knowledge and confidence to guide your child toward healthy sleep now and well into the future. Together, we listen to your child’s cues, follow their lead, and gently restore rest in your home, in a way that feels aligned, respectful, and achievable for your family.
A well-rested child (and parent!) is happier, healthier, and ready to thrive. Sleep is a biological need, not a luxury, but not all little ones arrive in this world knowing exactly how to do it. Sometimes, they just need the right support, and that’s where I come in. With over 20 years of experience and a 100% success rate, I’ll help you get there without ever compromising your connection.
At Parenting Collective, we will NEVER:
Ask your baby to “Cry It Out”
Ask you to leave your baby alone
Ask you to stop cuddling your baby
Ask you to stop feeding if it works for you
Ask you to do anything you’re not comfortable with
I work with families anywhere in the world, from newborn days right through to age 10. This is sleep support that’s secure, responsive, and nurturing and it works.
CONSCIOUS PARENTING COACH
Parenting is not about perfection, it is about connection. And the good news? You already have everything within you to be the best parent your child needs, I am here to help and support you to uncover all the beauty.
As a Certified Conscious Parenting Coach, trained personally by world renowned psychologist Dr Shefali, I support parents to move away from old generational patterns and reactive parenting, into a place of deeper understanding, emotional safety and genuine connection with their children. Whether you are raising toddlers with big feelings, navigating school age challenges, or guiding pre-teen’s|teenagers through life’s ups and downs, my approach is always secure, responsive and nurturing, for both you and your child.
Parenting can be messy, triggering, and overwhelming and that is okay and VERY normal, you are HUMAN. Together, we will work through those moments, helping you regulate your own emotions so you can respond to your child with calm and clarity. You will learn how to hold boundaries without guilt and shame, connect without control and guide your child in a way that builds resilience, trust and mutual respect.
At Parenting Collective, I will NEVER:
Judge your parenting choices
Tell you to ignore your child’s emotions
Ask you not to have strong, supportive & loving boundaries
Ask you to use fear, shame, or punishment to get results
Suggest you suppress your own needs to “keep the peace”
Give you cookie cutter advice that does not suit your family
I work with parents across Australia and worldwide, helping them create emotionally safe, thriving families, not by changing who they are, but by deepening their self awareness and transforming how they show up. This is Conscious Parenting that is real, practical and life changing and the BEST thing is it 100% works. (Believe me, it has been tried and tested with my own family, from complete CHAOS to CALM).
Much Love
