About Us
At Shaping Waves Consulting, we’re passionate about bringing accessible, compassionate support to families who need it most. We understand how lack of sleep and challenging behaviours can impact a child’s development—and how overwhelming it can feel for parents. That’s why we’re dedicated to helping families understand the “why” behind behaviours and providing practical, evidence-based strategies. Our mission is to create happier days and more restful nights, one small step at a time.
