What we’re about
Welcome to Better Sleep Mindfulness!
Through the power of mindfulness, allied to scientific know-how, we re-discover refreshing sleep. Our bodies know how to sleep – and want to sleep. Using approaches I developed to cure my own insomnia, I show you how to re-awaken this innate wisdom, and to release the blocks that prevent nourishing sleep and rest.
I'm an author, teacher and practitioner of Mindfulness, Focusing, Compassionate Communication (NVC) and Somatic Experiencing trauma therapy. My unique approach includes mindful meditations focusing on sleep and sleepiness. We also explore ways to live healthily, clearing a space and setting the best conditions – with clean eating, exercise, and compassionate communication with oneself and others. Promoting a healthy environment, within and without, we give ourselves the best opportunity to rest and sleep well. Let's support each other on the journey. Let’s get sleepy together!

See all- Better Sleep with Mindfulness: 4-week course **1/3 off**Link visible for attendees
This super supportive 4-week course gives you a way to really change your sleep habits, and re-learn deep and refreshing sleep.
Every Tuesday evening in May: 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th May '24
7:00pm-8:30pm BST- Sessions are recorded for participants' use only;
- Resources, notes and audio meditations included;
- If you miss a session, attend that one session free on a future course.
Mindfulness has much to offer those who wish for more rest, and a better quality of sleep. Here, we learn mindful practices that support refreshing sleep at night, and give you more energy during the day. Attending a course is particularly effective for re-setting healthy sleep patterns. Focusing on sleep over time has a cumulative effect. As you practise sleep-related skills, your system re-learns what it already knows and wants. With the support of the group, you embed new conditions which encourage sound and restorative sleep.
SESSION 1 covers:
- Getting to bed ‘procrastination’, tuning into natural body rhythms that tend to sleepiness and sleep
FUTURE SESSIONS...
- Getting to sleep, healthy pre-bed activities, daytime practices to aid night-time sleep, sleep cycles
- Staying asleep, going deeper with sleep practices, awareness of dreams, and 8-hour ‘rest opportunity window’
- Waking up easily, with effective day-time naps and energy-boosters for fresh and wakeful days.
Following the course and its practices, you can expect to make significant progress in tackling common difficulties with sleep, such as:
- Feeling ‘tired but wired’ at night
- Struggling to get to sleep, or stay asleep
- Waking up feeling tired and drained
- Not waking up or getting up when you wish
- Feeling tired during the day
Groups are friendly and supportive, as we explore the challenges of your night-time 'rest opportunity'. You have the chance to lie down for meditations (rather like ’napping’), so bring something to lie on if you wish.
