Making Baby Sleep Feel Easy –The Future of Parenting Wellness
After a particularly challenging experience with her second child’s sleep, Laura Halsey set out to understand why nothing seemed to help. What began as personal frustration became a professional turning point. She trained as a holistic baby and child sleep coach and quickly uncovered what so many parents never get told: sleep isn’t just about routines - it’s emotional, developmental, environmental, and deeply individual.
Armed with this insight, her experience as a mum of two, and a background as a former Head of Marketing, Laura founded The Peaceful Sleep Company - now one of the UK’s go-to holistic sleep consultancies. Her mission is simple but powerful: to make baby sleep feel easy.
At a time when sleep advice can feel overwhelming or extreme, Laura offers a different path: holistic, evidence-based support that works for the whole family - whether parents are preparing for their first baby or already navigating sleepless nights.
Her flagship resource - the Digital Prenatal Sleep Pack - is fast becoming one of the most talked-about tools for expectant parents. With
expert-led videos, instant access on any device, and the freedom to move at your own pace, it’s designed to help families prepare for sleep before their baby arrives. It reflects a growing shift in how modern parents approach wellbeing; one that recognises that mental health, emotional preparedness, and sleep support are just as important as birth or feeding preparation. As Laura explains:
“Sleep preparation is the next wave of parenting wellness - just like birth or feeding preparation, it’s about setting families up for success before exhaustion takes hold.”
Alongside her digital resources, Laura offers highly personalised one-to-one support, blending practical strategy with emotional reassurance. Her approach is compassionate, calm, and holisticalways looking at the child as a whole, not just sleep in isolation, and always rooting solutions in the real-life needs of modern families.

GET SET GO
September marks a time of new beginnings. As summer winds down and routines fall back into place, many parents look for activities that support both growth and connection. One of the most magical of these is parent and baby swimming.
At GetSetGo, we see every day how the water becomes a place of joy, discovery, and bonding. For little ones, the pool isn’t just somewhere to splash – it’s a safe environment to build confidence, coordination, and trust. For parents, it’s a chance to share in milestones that are every bit as emotional as a first smile or first step.
These lessons aren’t only about water skills –they’re about togetherness. The gentle reassurance of your arms, the laughter that bubbles up with every splash, and the comfort of eye contact all weave moments that deepen the parent–child bond.
GETTING STARTED AT HOME
You don’t have to wait for the pool to begin your baby’s journey. Here are a few simple ways to build water confidence in everyday life: Bath time adventures – Make baths playful with
gentle splashing, floating toys, and pouring water over hands and feet.
Face and hair rinsing – Slowly introduce water over the face and head, turning it into a game to ease worries about water on the face.
Songs and play – Singing nursery rhymes while swishing water helps create positive associations. Gradual immersion – Let your baby sit in shallow water first, then gently support them lying back to feel the water on their ears.
Stay calm and confident – Babies pick up on your cues. If you’re relaxed, they’ll be more likely to relax too.
This September, as you settle into the rhythm of a new season, consider giving your child the gift of water confidence. Whether it’s the first joyful splash in the bath or a gentle glide across the pool in your arms, each moment builds memories and skills that last a lifetime.
Here’s to beginnings, to bonding, and to the little splashes that lead to big milestones. Book a free trial this September at GetSetGo. Call 0208 050 0070 or email swim@get-set-go.com, quoting LIFE.
BRITISH TRADITION MEETS NORDIC QUALITY
PO.P’s Design Collaboration with Liberty Fabrics

HOW MUSIC HELPED MY BABY FIND HIS VOICE
“When my son Jack was six months old, he was a quiet observer - bright-eyed and curious, but happiest in familiar surroundings. New places, loud noises or unfamiliar faces would make him pull back, as if the world felt too big. I wanted to help him grow in confidence, gently and joyfully — without pushing him before he was ready.
Then a friend told me about Mini Mozart.
We went to a trial class with open minds and no expectations, just hoping Jack might enjoy something new. What happened amazed me. As the pianist played the first note, Jack froze — not from fear, but awe. His eyes locked on the music, his body stilled, and then, slowly, he began to bounce. His face lit up. It was as if something inside him had come alive.
Mini Mozart isn’t just another baby class. It’s a magical blend of live music, storytelling, and sensory play — crafted by classically trained musicians who understand how little ones learn best. Each session is thoughtfully paced to engage without overwhelming, and babies are active participants. They shake maracas, follow rhythms, and feel the music in their whole bodies.
“Mini
Mozart isn’t just another baby class. It’s a magical blend of live music, storytelling, and sensory play “
Over the weeks, Jack began to bloom. He started vocalising more, copying sounds from class, and reaching for instruments with purpose. At home, something beautiful unfolded — he became more expressive, clapping to songs, babbling with rhythm, and connecting more with the world around him.
As parents, we often wonder what’s going on behind those wide eyes. But in the first five years of life, a baby’s brain is making over a million new neural connections every second. And live, interactive music lights up so many parts of the brain: supporting language, memory, movement, emotion, and confidence.
For us, Mini Mozart became more than a lovely outing. It was the start of Jack’s journey into selfexpression and joy. There’s nothing like realising that, through sound, they’ve found a way to share their inner world.”

Sustainable, Cosy, Fun: Autumn Blankets for Children of All Ages
Introducing J.J. Textile’s small blanket collection – fourteen charming, fully reversible designs in a compact size. Woven from a cosy, yet sustainable, blend of wool and cotton, they’re half the size of J.J. Textile’s standard blankets but just as snug – and even machine washable too.
J.J. Textile’s much-loved designs are available in a compact size of 130 x 90 cm, perfect for little ones, smaller spaces or simply when you want a touch of warmth. The small blanket collection features fourteen unique designs, each fully reversible with an inverted colour-scheme on the back – a signature detail which adds cost-effective versatility and uniqueness.
Made from Norwegian new wool, prized for it’s soft yet durable finish, these blankets are warm, breathable and naturally cosy. A necessity for children’s blankets: the whole collection is machine washable – making them practical for everyday life.
The idea for the smaller size came from customers who loved the original designs but wanted something more compact: a blanket that could be used in prams, on children’s beds to add some personality or even as something easy for mums to use during late night feeds.
Each blanket is woven in Europe in small production runs, helping to minimise waste and maintain close attention to detail. J.J. Textile works directly with their trusted manufacturer, guaranteeing high-quality and ethical considerations are met.
Starting at £65, they offer a sustainable, highquality alternative to fast-fashion textiles – perfect for gifting, dressing a nursery or simply keeping close at hand during chilly months. jjtextile.co.uk
THE MOST POPULAR IV SUPPLEMENTS MY CLIENTS LOVE
BY ABI, SENIOR NURSE AT EFFECT
One of the best parts of my job is hearing how our clients feel after their IV drips. Over the years, a few supplements have become real favourites — not just because of the science behind them, but because of how they make people feel.
Glutathione is by far the one I’m asked for most. Clients often call it the “glow drip,” and it’s easy to see why. They tell me their skin looks brighter, their energy levels pick up, and they feel less sluggish even after a heavy week, whether that’s training hard in the gym or juggling a stressful workload. Many also say they like knowing it’s supporting their liver and overall cellular health, so they feel like they’re really taking care of themselves from the inside out.
Curcumin is another favourite, especially among those dealing with inflammation. For clients who train regularly, they often notice they recover faster and feel less sore in the days after their drip. Those with ongoing joint aches talk about feeling “lighter” and more mobile, which is such a confidence boost for them. I’ve also had clients recovering from injuries tell me their healing feels quicker and less inflamed, which can make a huge difference to their recovery journey.
DOCTORS
Then there’s Vitamin C, which is probably the one everyone’s heard of but few realise how much more powerful it can be in IV form. Clients tell me they notice they don’t pick up colds as easily, or if they do, they bounce back much quicker. It’s also the go-to for anyone feeling run-down or preparing for a busy season, and many love the added bonus of their skin looking fresher and more radiant afterwards.
What keeps people coming back isn’t just what’s in the drip — it’s how they feel afterwards. Brighter skin, stronger immunity, faster recovery, and that general sense of being more energised are things my clients mention again and again. IV therapy isn’t a magic fix, but it’s such a powerful way to support the body, especially when life gets hectic. For many of my regulars, these drips have become part of their self-care routine, and seeing the difference it makes for them is exactly why I love what I do.
Glutathione is the key ingredient in the www.effectdoctors.com/product/ drip-and-glow/ Curcumin and Vitamin C can be added to most of Effectdoctors.com IV Drips.

PREVENTATIVE HEALTH SCREENING:
PEACE OF MIND FOR YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES
Dr Angela Rai of The London General Practice discusses the benefits of Health Screening.
Health Screening, as part of a preventative package, is a recognised part of modern medicine. Advances in technology and medical science mean that signs of disease or other health issues can be detected much earlier than before, so that action can be taken at an early stage with the potential opportunity to improve quality of life and future outcome.
To get the most from health screening it is recommended that the package is tailored to the individual, taking into account family history, personal medical history, gender and age.
It is also important to avoid ‘over testing’ or undertaking screens when there is no clinical indication for concern.
Common causes of future health problems include lifestyle and family history, and health screening can reveal changes which if implemented could result in positive impacts on health and wellbeing.
“Health
screening can reveal changes which if implemented could result in positive impacts on health and wellbeing”
Health screens now assist in identifying, diagnosing and treating people who show symptoms of memory or cognitive impairment.

in particular anyone:
• experiencing memory difficulties and who wishes to understand the reason for this.
• who is concerned about a family history of memory issues
• seeking to check their current health status, or get advice regarding a general issue with their health.
The package includes an examination with a medical consultant who is a recognised cognitive expert and a set of investigations designed to identify a wide range of possible causes of memory difficulties.
This service responds to the knowledge that early diagnosis and access to the best treatments for memory and other cognitive symptoms significantly improves clinical outcomes. Figures show that it is possible to reduce the risk of dementia by up to 30% by controlling other risk factors, such as blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and cholesterol.
