Three Key Concepts:
While the exact sleep coach process can be different for everyone, success is based on 3 Key Concepts
SLEEP
EDUCATION
Knowledge is Power: Unlocking restful sleep starts with understanding it. Coaching equips you with the knowledge you need to make informed choices for better sleep.
RESOLVE
PERPETUATING FACTORS
Sleep coaching tackles the root cause, not just the symptoms. We identify and address the underlying factors keeping you awake for lasting sleep improvement.
COGNITIVE
PROGRAMMING
Sleep struggles can fuel anxiety. I use cognitive techniques to retrain your mind, reducing sleep-related worry and promoting a peaceful night's rest.
What is Personalized Optimization?
You are an individual. That means I can’t just give all of my clients the same advice. It won’t work!
Throughout the program we will agree upon changes and try them out. If a change doesn’t work, for whatever reason, that is not failure! It just means we need to tweak things until we land upon a solution that is easy to implement and works for you.

Understanding Somatic Breathwork
Somatic breathwork uses conscious breathing techniques to calm the mind and body. By focusing on your breath, you can activate your relaxation response which helps to decrease hyperarousal, promoting better sleep quality over time.
MORE SLEEP TIPS
Somatic Awareness, CBTi and ACTi
I combine Somatic Awareness, CBTi and ACTi to get to the personal root cause of Insomnia. My sessions teach us to be curious, exploring our unique circumstances. These techniques can help:
- Hormonal Imbalances
- Life Change / Stress
- Inappropriate Sleep Expectations or Ideas
Breath Based Somatic Techniques
- Oxygen Advantage Altitude Training for Athletic Performance and Recovery
- Ancient Yogic Exercises to Decrease Stress and Improve Sleep
- Learn to Listen to Your Body with Embodied Breathwork
- Deepen Your Mindfulness Practice
- Breathe Life into Your Daily Routines
What is a Session Like?
It can be a bit intimidating to try something new and I know how hard it can be to decide whether or not a program is right for you, none of us want to waste our money or feel disappointed.
First, it's important to understand that every session is a bit different depending on the person and what they come in with on a given day.
That said, I believe it's still important to get an idea of what a general session looks like so you can decide if it is a good fit for you.Â
This sample session was recorded with an existing client. This client is not currently experiencing sleep problems but she is aware of the effect life stress has on her sleep. As such this was more of a general maintenance session.Â
NOTE: typical sessions are up to 60 minutes in length. This is an abbreviated sample session.

Nutrition
Many individuals with insomnia experience anxiety about their lack of sleep. Nutrition provides a controllable factor – what you eat – offering a sense of empowerment amidst sleep challenges.
My own experience with sleep and digestive problems since childhood fueled my passion for nutrition and holistic health. In the past three years, I've further specialized in sleep science, with a recent focus on perimenopause (a stage I'm personally journeying through!). This deep understanding stems from my desire to help others heal and improve their sleep, mirroring my own journey.
Perimenopause can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to fatigue and other health concerns. While I don't focus on treating true insomnia with nutrition alone, improving your diet can significantly enhance your overall well-being, even with sleep disturbances.
Still tossing and turning all night?
You're not alone. My sleep coaching goes beyond generic advice. We create a personalized plan based on your sleep patterns and goals. Personalized sleep coaching can be your key to waking up feeling your best. Invest in a better you, starting today!
