THE COLIC MAMA

Hi, I’m Sam, founder of The Colic Mama — and just like you, I’ve been that mum pacing the floor at 3am, holding a crying baby, wondering what on earth was going on… and how to make it stop.
When I had my first daughter, I thought I was ready. I’d spent years studying gut health, the immune system, and nutrition — but nothing prepared me for colic. Not with her. And definitely not when it happened again with my second baby. I was completely blindsided by colic.
I tried everything. I researched. I cried. I doubted myself. But slowly, I started to piece things together. I began to understand what was really going on inside my babies’ little bodies — and once I found real solutions that worked, I felt compelled to share them.
That’s how Your Colic Survival Guide came to life — a book I wrote to help other parents feel supported and empowered. When I saw just how much it was helping people, I knew I needed to go further. That’s why I decided to start running my small-group colic classes — so I could walk alongside other parents and offer the kind of support I wish I’d had.
Before motherhood, I travelled the world for 5 years then completed a BSc Hons in Psychology and went on to earn diplomas in Biomedicine and Nutritional Therapy. I became a qualified Nutritional Therapist just before having my first daughter — and it turns out, everything I’d learned about gut health led me straight into the world of infant colic. Since then, I’ve focussed on infant gut health and trained as an Infant Massage Instructor and Breastfeeding Peer Support Worker to better support the families I work with.
Now, I get to combine everything I know — both professionally and personally — to help parents move out of survival mode and into a calmer, more connected space with their babies.
I know how lonely colic can feel. I know how overwhelming it is when nothing seems to work. But I promise you this: it’s not your fault, and it can get better.
You're not alone — and I’m here to help.
