About Me
Providing Pediatric and Adult Sleep Support
Hello! I’m Carla
Founder, Night Night Sleep Consulting
I’m Carla Picolli, a psychologist and internationally certified Sleep Consultant for adults and children. I help exhausted adults and parents to rediscover the pleasure of sleeping well, so they can have energy, excitement and engagement they desire to be fully present and happy in their lives.
Before I specialized in the subject of sleep, I have experienced first-hand how difficult, and sometimes frustrating, it can be to have a baby sleep through the night.
With my first child, my husband and I tried everything to help him sleep better. I read several books, studied different methods, talked to sleep psychologists, but nothing worked, until I discovered the Sleep Sense Program. Through this method, gradual and simple, but consistently applied, my son started to sleep better at night and became a much happier child. That is when Night Night Sleep Consulting was founded in New Zealand, where we were at the time, now residing in Melbourne.
It was my strong belief in this method that inspired me to go through the International Sleep Sense™ Certification and Solve Your Sleep Certification, which are the most recognised, comprehensive and professional sleep consulting training programs in the world. Since then, I have been very pleased to help adults and parents in New Zealand, Australia, UK, USA, Brazil, Portugal and around the world to develop healthy sleep habits, making family life better, harmonious and happier.
- Do you have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep in the middle of the night?
- Do you think you sleep poorly?
- Are you up all night with bedtime battles?
- Is sleep restless with multiple wakings because your child doesn’t sleep well?
I would be happy to help you. I will be by your side during this learning process. It is never too late – nor too early – to start sleeping better or to help your child sleep through the night. My methodology allows us to work together to find the most suitable approach for you, regardless of your parenting style or family dynamics. Like you, we value a good night’s sleep!

SLEEP CONSULTING METHOD
The Sleep Sense™ method was created in 2003 out of a strong belief that healthy sleep habits contribute to healthy children. A well-rested child is more curious, full of energy, happy, fun, and eager to learn.
The Sleep Consulting method places a lot of emphasis on accommodating different parenting styles and the bottom line is that you, as a parent, need to be comfortable with your new sleep plan in order to work for your child. It is extremely important for me to work in partnership with adults and/or families, fully understanding the situation and family dynamics, to achieve the expected result through a customised plan.
This program is recognized and approved by the Association of Professional Sleep Consultants, whose mission is to promote the highest standard of practice for the professional sleep consulting industry worldwide, to ensure that client’s needs are met with professionalism, excellence, and ethical care.
See below my methodology in a summarized way:
Kind Words From Our Rested Clients
An Investment in Our Health
“Following Carla’s guidelines, in the first few days, I started to feel a noticeable improvement in the amount of hours I slept and the quality of my sleep. I want to emphasize that I started to sleep 7-8 hours at night, without nighttime awakenings and without melatonin. It was an incredible advance, as it gave me much more energy, tranquility, and concentration……..I highly recommend it.”
Cleuza, 64 Years Old
On the Verge of Depression
“Thanks to God and Carla’s teachings, my 4-month-old baby went from 4 night awakenings to just 1. Sometimes he has quick awakenings, but he goes back to sleep by himself. Today I can rest and sleep, and so I got rid of the beginning of a depression that was around me due to sleep deprivation. God bless your life and your work immensely, which brings so much quality of life to all moms.”
Rafael’s Mom – 4 Months Old
Two Times Tired with Twins
“I have twins and until 6 months our life was upside down. The nights were scary with 2 babies crying……We did Carla’s program and in 4 days the miracle happened, the boys slept for 10/12h straight, without milk, without a pacifier, without rocking, literally by themselves. Teaching them to be autonomous in their own sleep was certainly the greatest gift we could give them.”
