I studied with the Holistic Sleep Coaching Program, one of the most comprehensive, science-backed, evidence-based, and responsive sleep coaching programs internationally.
The program is led by Dr. Lyndsey Hookway, clinical director and co-founder, who is a well-respected healthcare professional, IBCLC, author, teacher, and mentor.
With insights from world-renowned guest experts, the program has provided me with comprehensive knowledge and expertise to support families effectively.
I have completed my degree-level certification in Holistic Sleep Coaching, accredited at Level 6 through the Open College Network, the largest vocational body in the UK.
As a Holistic Sleep Coach, I recognise that every child and family is unique and offer a personalised approach. When working with families, I consider a broad range of factors that may be influencing your child's sleep including:
Age and Developmental Stage: Tailoring strategies to align with your child's growth.
Family Dynamics: Understanding the interactions and rhythms within your family.
Temperament and Personality: Acknowledging your child’s individual traits and behaviours.
Health: Addressing emotional and physical health that may affect sleep.
Sleep Hygiene, Environment, and Sleep Patterns: Creating optimal settings and routines.
Diet and Nutrition: Considering dietary influences and any potential allergies or intolerance's.
Exercise and Activity Levels: Incorporating appropriate levels of physical activity.
I value your expertise as a parent and am dedicated to creating gentle, responsive strategies that foster secure attachments, prioritise bonding and align with your parenting values. I aim to empower you to trust your instincts, offering non-judgemental and compassionate support.
By prioritising family-centred care and valuing you as the expert on your child, I ensure strategies are guided by your child's best interests. With education on biologically normal infant sleep and responsive feeding, I promote realistic expectations and provide holistic care for your family.
My Principles as a Holistic Sleep Coach:
Gentle Methods: Avoiding separation-based sleep training techniques and ensuring you're at ease with strategies, which prioritise secure attachment.
Supportive Guidance and Education: Providing education and reassurance about biologically normal infant sleep and suggesting practical options to make things easier for you to navigate.
Tailored Planning: Creating individualised, flexible plans, not rigid, one-size-fits-all methods.
Realistic Expectations: Setting realistic and achievable goals without promising quick fixes or guaranteed results.
