Anke Scherman

I’m a proud single mom of two wonderful boys and twin girls. I recently moved to the beautiful coastal town of Kleinmond in the Western Cape, where I’m raising my family and enjoying a slightly slower, more intentional pace of life.

My journey into sleep consulting started from personal experience. Like many parents, I was once a very sleep-deprived mom. Everything changed when I began teaching my firstborn healthy sleep habits from an early age. The difference it made to our family life was incredible, and it sparked a passion in me to help other families experience the same relief.

Now, as a mom of four (including twins!), I bring both real-life experience and professional guidance to the families I work with. Managing sleep with multiple little ones — while navigating the realities of single motherhood — has given me a very practical and empathetic understanding of what parents are going through.

Being a single mom to four kids can be a little wild at times, but the fact that we all sleep well is honestly what makes it doable. I know firsthand how overwhelming things can feel when everyone is tired, and how life-changing it is when healthy sleep habits finally fall into place.

I truly love supporting and guiding families toward better sleep. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping parents move from feeling exhausted and overwhelmed to confident and rested, while creating calmer homes for everyone.

These days I’m grateful for the simple things — laughter with my kids, meals with good friends, and the beautiful surroundings of our little coastal town.

As a sleep consultant, I support families with compassion and practical guidance, helping you build healthy sleep habits that bring more calm, rest, and balance back into your home.
