Karola Marais

I was born in Pretoria but moved to Windhoek, Namibia when I was just 7 days old - and I've happily called it home ever since. Now I'm married with two precious daughters of my own that bring me so much joy. We love spending time together in nature as a family.

Even during my busiest days, I still carve out special evening routines with the kids. We snuggle up to read a couple short stories before bedtime, progressing from tales about animals to their latest obsessions like Frozen and Paw Patrol. My little one still needs her lullaby of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" that I've sung to her over 2300 times now! Many nights she sings along with me in her sweet toddler voice. It's these simple blessings that help me destress and forget the worries of the day.

That's why I'm so passionate about helping families who struggle with sleepless nights reclaim these beautiful moments. I firmly believe that if your child gets enough sleep, it will dramatically turn around your whole family's life. The worst tip I've heard is to just put your kid in front of the TV until they crash. But the best guidance I can offer is for you to trust your awesome parental instincts - you CAN do this!

My goal is to equip moms and dads with the know-how and confidence to establish healthy sleep habits. Don't believe the myth that we can adapt to less rest. Ongoing sleep loss poses real health issues even if we temporarily adjust. Reach out so I can support your family in getting the sleep you all deserve!
