A team of experts
As a team of experts in sleep, family health and well-being, nutrition and lactation, we are committed to providing comprehensive support and guidance to help families achieve optimal health and wellness. We understand that these areas are all interconnected, and we work collaboratively to address these important areas of your baby's development.
By working together, we can help you address the unique challenges that come with parenting, from sleep deprivation and developmental changes, to navigating the world of solid foods, feeding and beyond. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and support you need to thrive as a family, so that you can enjoy the joys of parenthood without the stress and overwhelm.
Our Team
Meet Amy Wallace
An internationally certified Infant and Child Sleep Consultant, Founder of Little Dreamers and co-founder of Beyond Sleep School based in Queensland, Australia. We are here to help you and your baby not just overcome sleep challenges, but set them up for sleep time success long term. Our signature approach? We want parents to know they are not alone on this journey – Little Dreamers offers hands on help, support that suits your individual needs, with proven methods that result in sustainable, long-term success. After all, sleep challenges are totally normal— sometimes we all just need a helping hand and someone to guide us when we need it most. I created Little Dreamers to empower parents in a safe space where every question and sleep concern is welcome. We truly believe there are no bad sleep habits and we all deserve to be well-rested, confident and thrive even in the most exhausting times. I'm a mum to three children myself and know first-hand how supercharging a relationship with sleep can truly benefit the whole family.
Meet Lauren Moran
Hi there! I am Lauren and I am a certified Family Sleep & Wellness Coach living in Auckland, New Zealand. I am Mum to 2 beautiful kiddos, Chloe & Max, and wife to my military husband, Ethan. After working as a Human Resources Professional for 9 years, I never expected to take such a different path since having my babies. I worked with Amy (Founder of Little Dreamers) with my eldest daughter when she was 4 months old and honestly, since then I discovered a passion I didn’t know I had! After doing this I realised I wanted to help families to have the same experience and gain more sleep all round no matter their goal. I follow a holistic and parent-first approach - yes! That means your goals are want I would like to achieve with you. What’s missing that you want to have back? How do you want your days to be structured? Anything! It’s all about having a well rested little one and parents! Working with me means we will look at all areas from the sleep environment, nutrition, developmental progressions, attachment, appropriate routines for their age and more. Throughout my studies I was able to grasp the science behind all things sleep and attachment with our little ones, which will help us understand what your little one needs - there is no one size fits all approach. With my support you will gain the knowledge and tools to manage your little one’s sleep so it is never overwhelming for you and you can feel better for a well rested family.
Meet Sam Wysocki

I have my Masters in Primary School Teaching and Learning and am excited to now be working alongside Amy and Lauren at Little Dreamers. I love learning and supporting others, and believe that all parents deserve to thrive not survive. When we have kids we want to be the best version of ourselves and sleep plays a huge role with this and our general wellbeing. There is nothing wrong with asking for support around sleep and wanting guidance with what and how to do it! I’ve been there with my boys and am excited to support others with this.

Meet Tessa Scott
Hi, I’m Tessa, a Registered Naturopath and Nutritionist, based in Dunedin, New Zealand. I am passionate about infant and toddler nutrition and wellbeing. It’s so important that our little ones get the best start in life, so supporting parents to provide good nutrition and teach their children good habits is an area that I’ve become really focused on. My own daughter Maddie has taught me so much in this area and I love sharing my knowledge with other parents. I take a holistic approach to nutrition. It’s not always about the food, so I work with parents on all aspects of their child’s health including their environment and behaviour. I enjoy helping parents find ways to optimise their children’s health and empowering them to raise happy, healthy children.
