Sleep better and improve your health and wellbeing naturally
Struggling with sleep? Whether you are a exhausted parent with a little one (or not so little one!) sleeping poorly, or you are not sleeping well yourself, you and your children can sleep well and reclaim back energy and vitality.
I reclaimed my sleep after experiencing chronic insomnia and I helped my young daughter through many sleep challenges. Now it’s my life’s work to help you sleep well too.
Integrative Sleep Support
I offer Integrative Sleep Support for all ages – newborns, babies, toddlers, children, teens, adults and seniors. My sleep support is holistic, targeting the many causes of poor sleep – sensory, lifestyle, environment, diet and nutrition, connection, social and psychology, and the physical and biological. Sleep is a complex interaction of many factors – from biological to environment – and the causes of sleep issues are multifactorial. My integrative approach identifies the different areas requiring support for each individual and empowers for change in these areas to reclaim sleep.
Hi, I’m Barbara!
Do you want to improve your or your infant/child’s sleep, health or wellbeing, but feeling overwhelmed and not sure what steps to take to reclaim sleep, energy and vitality?
I’m Barbara, a qualified Naturopath, Certified Paediatric Sleep and Wellbeing Specialist and Adult Sleep Coach. I’ve experienced a wide range of sleep challenges, sleep disorders and health issues in my own family. I also tried ‘gentle’ sleep training with my daughter before I even knew sleep training was ‘a thing’ and found it made everything worse. I used my naturopathic skills and further education in sleep to resolve our sleep challenges and reclaim my family’s health, energy and vitality.
I love using my success, knowledge and experiences to help others with their sleep and health challenges. Are you ready to reclaim sleep and flourish?
Here’s how I can help
FOOD COMPATIBILITY HAIR TEST
Discover what foods to eat to heal the body and overcome sleep and health issues.
Do you, or your child, have sleep challenges such as frequent waking’s? Insomnia? Eczema or skin condition such as psoriasis? Swollen tonsils and adenoids? Gut issues or kids complain of sore tummies? Constipation? These are just some of the things this test can help to improve!
The Food Compatibility Test is a simple non-invasive hair test that helps to identify over 500 foods, beverages, household and personal care products that are compatible for your or your child’s body or causing inflammation and impairing the body’s ability to heal.
Kind words
Barbara at Lavender Sleep & Wellness was so easy to work with, she was very understanding of our situation and thorough in helping us come up with ideas to help our 9mo old minimize her night wakings from 6-8 down to 2-3. She gave us realistic expectations for the age and small gentle changes in order to ease into it to keep our daughter comfortable. Overall we are happy with the work she provided and insight to help us understand more on infant sleep challenges.
Since we began working with you last week we’ve had a few nights of sleeping through (yay!). She even sat up once, a usual signal that we need to go in to help her back to sleep, but she laid back down and went to sleep after a few minutes. I was SHOCKED!
Working with Barbara has given me so much knowledge & understanding into my 17-month-old daughter’s sleep & gut challenges. In less than two weeks Barbara has helped me eliminate the long night wakes / parties & we are well on the way to establishing much more sustainable sleep habits. The fact that Barbara also specialises in gut health was such a bonus as working to improve our daughters iron levels & gut health via the hair test results have made a massive improvement to our nighttime sleep. I can’t thank you enough Barbara.
Barbara’s communication is outstanding – she is so thorough with her emails and has sent many follow up emails, which provided help above and beyond what I expected. She is so knowledgeable and recommended supplements for my son that made an immediate difference. Thank you so much, Barbara! I highly recommend!
