More About Us

If you are supporting families with sleep then it's likely that you have seen many parents being sold the dream of gentle sleep, only to find that it is nothing of the sort.

Well, let us share a little (not-so-secret) secret.

You probably already know a good way to support families with sleep challenges is to offer them gentle strategies that feel like a good fit with their parenting style.

But what if we said this is only a tiny piece of the puzzle?

If we distill sleep support down to a range of sleep strategies, we are missing the point of being truly holistic and responsive. A holistic approach is so much more than the range of sleep strategies in our tool kit.

In the Holistic Sleep Coaching Program we do things differently. Our industry-renowned training supports our students to be able to support families with sleep in a way that gets results, without resorting to non-responsive techniques, which conflict with their
responsive parenting beliefs.

I launched my business in August 2020 and I was fully booked by the end of the year. I am now booked 1-2 months in advance. When I left my job and lockdown hit I decided to take the time to re-evaluate my career. In the simplest sense, the course made me a true holistic sleep consultant. It gives you a grounding in fact, an understanding of biology and real tools to analyse a situation. It equips you to give an honestly bespoke service.

I was looking to expand my skillset to support parents better. There were so many sleep courses out there. The Holistic Sleep Coaching Program is the most comprehensive course with such an impressive list of speakers. The online modules are so user friendly with course content available to read and listen to. The course is thoroughly evidence based, and provides knowledge beyond sleep on a huge range of topics.

My work has literally quadrupled since completing the training and I now have a sustainable business.The marketing week was a lifechanger. I previously thought I had this figured out with a reasonable social media following that was bringing in work, but it has really changed how I operate in my business and my life! I now truly value myself and the time I give families properly.

Having completed other sleep courses I signed up for the Holistic Sleep Coaching Program as I didn't feel I had the knowledge I needed to support my clients in the way they needed. The Holistic program goes into areas that other courses just don't touch, and as a result, this course has given me the breadth and depth of knowledge I was really looking for.

Meet the founders of the
Holistic Sleep Coaching Program

Lyndsey and Emma have worked together for many years, teaching childcare and health professionals internationally. They started with running short sleep courses, but recognised the need for an in-depth course that addressed the many areas that affect families’ sleep from colic, allergies, feeding to sensory needs. They set out to create a course where practitioners could feel confident supporting families across a range of issues, and be able to support a family holistically.

This program has grown from an idea, to an internationally renowned program that seeks to challenge the mainstream narrative, and provide responsive, gentle sleep support to parents! They combined their extensive experience, passion and expertise when it comes to parenting, education and marketing and have to date trained thousands of professionals across the world.

So you know you are in great hands...

This course is so needed. It is a welcome alternative to other courses using much more gentle methods without the need to leave the baby to cry, which is unacceptable to many families. It incorporates small changes to routine and environment which can make a big difference to sleep. It is very adaptable to each family’s situation. I will certainly be incorporating these ideas in my work with twin and triplet families.

Kathryn Stagg

IBCLC, Breastfeeding Twins and Triplets UK Group

Professor Helen Ball

The course is supported by a sound evidence base of up-to-date literature. I would thoroughly recommend this course to any professional wishing to update their training on how to support parents with normal infant sleep.

Professor Amy Brown

I was looking for a thorough, scientific and evidence-based course, and that’s how I found the Holistic Sleep Coaching Program. The course really met my expectations regarding evidence-based knowledge and education.
All the tutors are absolute specialists in their field of expertise, and it’s wonderful being part of a worldwide community and receive ongoing professional education too. 

Consuela Hendricks

Child Psychologist & Holistic Sleep Coach

Prior to working as a Sleep Coach I worked in the City, however, after the birth of my child I really wanted to do something that meant something more to me! I learned so much during this course about sleep, and also on the business side of things (which I wasn’t expecting)! I’ve now been able to promote my business in a way that attracts the right clients for me which is amazing.

How much does it cost?

We don’t publicly display the price on our website. Instead, we invite you to take the next step by submitting your application or scheduling a call with our team. This allows us to assess together whether the program is the perfect fit for your needs and ensure we answer all of your questions. The call lasts approximately 45 minutes and you can book this call here.

Does this course qualify me to be a qualified sleep consultant?
Currently there is no set industry ‘qualification’ that qualifies you to be a sleep consultant. This means that after any sleep course, you could technically call yourself a sleep coach / sleep consultant / sleep nanny etc…

The benefit of completing the Holistic Sleep Coaching Program is that students can complete an in depth 14 week training program, which is delivered by leading specialists in the field. This enables students to feel confident that they are receiving the best possible information and guidance that will help them in their work supporting families.

The accreditation through Open College Network, enables students to feel confident that teaching and marking standards are upheld, through the rigorous internal and external verification process.
How do I get supported throughout the course?

The program structure is intentionally designed with layers of child, family, and sleep-related content, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience.

We deeply value the importance of continuous mentoring. As part of our commitment, our holistic sleep coaches receive ongoing access to two live calls with Lyndsey every week, providing valuable guidance and support. Additionally, they have the opportunity to engage in monthly marketing calls with Emma, further enhancing their professional growth and development.

Do you have a Scholarship Program?

Yes we do! At the Holistic Sleep Coaching Program we are committed to diversity and inclusion, and as such, we provide two fully funded Scholarship places for the Holistic Sleep Coaching Program each year.
Equity and diversity are important goals for us as a company, as a team, and as teachers. We are immensely proud of the diverse delegates our Program attracts, but we know the sleep coaching world lacks representation from marginalised groups, and we want to do our bit to improve this.

Our Scholarship program will provide an opportunity for you to study and work in a profession where you may have been previously underrepresented, and will provide you with all the necessary skills, training and support to build your own sleep coaching business.

Criteria for applications

In order to be considered for our Scholarship program, you must meet the following criteria:

– You must be a member of an underrepresented or marginalized group (including but not limited to underrepresented racial populations, LGBTQI, from a low income or economically vulnerable geographic area, individuals with disabilities, etc.)

– You must be able to demonstrate your working within a community of underrepresented families or be able to commit to providing support in these areas after your training is complete.

– You must not be qualified or have undertaken any previous higher level education (e.g degree level or equivalent), or undertaken sleep coach training or related (such as doula training or IBCLC), or already running your own business.

How to apply

Click here to complete your application. You will be informed via email if your application has been successful. If the form is closed, our scholarship places for the year have been filled.

If you do not hear from us by the time the closing date arrives, we regret to inform you that your application has not been successful on this occasion. We are unable to provide feedback on individual applications.

For me it was a degree level professional education on everything you need to know about sleep, not just a philosophy to follow, the course introduced me to some very creative ways to support families to sleep better that supports the attachment of children. If you are thinking about doing the course you won’t be disappointed, it is packed full of value, is always updated with new information and functions to make our work easier.
