Alison Gregory is the director and founder of Newborn Solutions. She has been a Qualified Midwife and Parenting educator for over 20 years. Alison is also an endorsed/eligible Midwife through the Australian Midwifery Board to practice inside and outside of hospitals. She deals with the full spectrum of antenatal-intrapartum-postnatal aspects of pregnancy/labour/birth. She is also a fully qualified parenting educator, baby/toddler sleep specialist, certified lactation consultant and has a prescriber license.
Alison has been researching baby sleep patterns/cycles and what helps or hinders baby sleep for more than 20 years to better understand what impacts baby development. She specialises in improving feeding habits to meet nutritional need, age appropriate play to boost development, interpreting body language/cry sounds, positive/negative discipline to improve behaviour and settling techniques that promote consistently better sleep patterns throughout the day and overnight. So, couples can enjoy the parenting journey with a confident plan.
Alison also worked as an Aerobic Instructor and Personal Trainer for 4 years prior to becoming a Midwife. It is this background that gives her a greater understanding of the human body, the importance of posture, mindset training and a deeper knowledge of working with the mechanics of muscles, breathing patterns and hormones.
Outside of work Alison is raising 2 children with her husband of 18 years. It is this personal experience of parenting that helps her to be sympathetic towards your situation. Many of her techniques have been tried on her own two children, which she contributes to making them such great sleepers. Alison had two wonderful natural childbirth experiences and loves to share her knowledge so that many others can improve their chances of meeting their birth expectations. “My children are an absolute blessing and I understand the amazing love parents feel for their baby/toddler/adolescents”.
So many people STRUGGLE with parenting issues, yet some will take weeks or even months before they make a decision to seek HELP. There is no need to struggle on your own. Although every family and baby story is unique, Alison is very experienced in identifying and resolving unwanted issues.
