Meet Rhian
Being a Mum has changed you as a person. You can’t remember now what life was like before, and your heart is fit to burst with love. You hate the idea of leaving them alone to cry to get them to sleep better.
You have a dreamy vision of happy bedtime routines, and a full night’s sleep, and you just wish you could there.
You’ve tried taking the advice of well-meaning friends and family, you’ve spent hours googling solutions, but nothing is working and you’re overwhelmed.
I completely get it, I’ve been there myself!
Hi there! I’m Rhian!
I help exhausted parents just like you get more rest by helping their children sleep using gentle, responsive, and evidence-based methods. I mean, which parent doesn’t want more sleep?!
When I’m not helping families sleep better, you’ll find me spending time with my own lovely family - my husband and my two sons.
When I’m not busy being Mum, you’ll find me relaxing at home in North Wales, cup of coffee in hand (or sometimes wine!), enjoying a good book, watching mindless TV, or listening to music that I grew up with. I also love spending time in nature, and running (slowly, but it’s still running!).
So how did I become a Sleep Coach?
Whilst on my second maternity leave, I found myself seriously sleep-deprived - a baby that would only sleep on me, and a four-year-old creeping into our bed each night. Long days of parenting the boys after a broken night's sleep equalled a short-tempered Mama - I was not being the parent I wanted to be.
Making some changes to my boys’ sleep totally turned my life around – my boys were happier as they were getting the rest they needed, me and my husband could share a bed again, I wasn’t dreading the night times, and I felt like my old self during the day.
I was inspired to help others get their life back too, so trained as a Holistic Sleep Coach, ditched my career in the Pharmaceutical industry, and here I am!
So what is a Holistic Sleep Coach, and what methods do I use?
Infants and small children are vulnerable and deserve our best. Parents are also vulnerable and deserve respect, truth and choices. When parents reach out for support with sleep, they are bombarded with choices about how to approach sleep. Do they just ride it out? Do they go for a quick fix? Or do they choose a gentle approach – and if they do this, what does ‘gentle’ really mean? At the Holistic Sleep Coaching program, I have been trained to take an approach that takes every relevant area of family life into account.
Holistic sleep coaching recognises that babies are usually completely normal, that their needs are not just physical but psychological, emotional and relational as well. Leaving them to cry does nothing for these needs. It also stresses parents out!
The Holistic Sleep Coaching Program is the most comprehensive course currently available, as it draws on the expertise of experts; from paediatric occupational therapists to doulas, from paediatricians to play therapists, and experts in anxiety and mental health to allergy and epigenetics.
I will look at the whole picture, and provide you with evidence based and realistic/age-appropriate advice and techniques. I will never recommend that you leave your little one to cry, and can offer a range of responsive methods.
