Sleep Discovery & Foundations Consult – Adults
The Discovery and Foundations consult provides immediate supportive sleep advice for adults (from 18 years of age).
Contact me from anywhere in the world and I’ll support you through the sleep challenges you are facing. Sometimes all you need is someone to talk to who’s faced a number of sleep challenges and is qualified to help you with yours.
About the consult
- This is an initial consult. It is for 60 to 90 minutes and is conducted online via telehealth (video call).
- Cost: Please see the booking page for pricing.
- You’ll be sent an intake form to complete prior to the consult. By completing it prior to the consult it captures a health history and identifies potential red flags which allows us to fully focus on your sleep concerns and discuss solutions, collaborating on a roadmap to better sleep in the consult.
In the consult
- additional questions may be asked to gain a thorough understanding of your health and wellness history, your sleep challenge and potential contributors to the challenge;
- functional tests or standard blood tests and/or questionnaires may be recommended;
- a discussion around the foundational aspects that underpin a good sleep will be discussed;
- receive the dietary changes and supplement recommendations that are most important for you at the time of the consult;
- a roadmap, or steps, to better sleep will be discussed;
- handouts may be provided to help you understand your body and sleep better.
Within 24-48 hours after the consult you’ll receive an email with notes of our discussion and a sleep plan and roadmap to better sleep (actionable sleep suggestions), usually in dot points.
Restoring sleep health is a process
It can take time to shift sleep challenges in adults. This is because there are often many factors at play. For example there may be a mix of hormonal or neurotransmitter imbalances, gut disturbances and poor dietary and lifestyle choices that are impacting sleep. From the Discovery and Foundations Consult you’ll walk away with a sleep plan that contains recommendations to begin to improve your immediate sleep challenge, as well as lay the healthy foundations needed for great sleep. You’ll also receive a roadmap (steps) of what needs to be done to sleep better, wake refreshed and have great energy throughout the day. You can then take what you have learned and work on your sleep yourself, or you can continue your care with me where I’ll support you to implement the sleep plan and follow the roadmap to better sleep.
Some things I can help with
Hi, I’m Barbara. I love helping individuals with their sleep.
My daughter had many sleep challenges which frequently saw me sleep deprived and later contributed to the development of sleep maintenance insomnia.
My desire to understand the ‘why’ behind my daughter’s sleep issues and to resolve my sleep challenges without pharmaceutical medication resulted in me gaining further education in the field. I was able to help her sleep better and heal my chronic insomnia. Now, I strive to educate about all things sleep so that you have more understanding and feel empowered to remove obstacles and restore nourishing sleep. In sleeping better you’ll reclaim your energy and vitality, and when we sleep well, we live well.
Is this Consult for me?
You’ve probably heard or already experienced the wide range of sleep advice out there.
I work differently, because you deserve an approach that improves sleep and aligns to your values. An approach that is grounded in the latest neuroscience, sleep science and psychology to promote optimal sleep that meets your unique sleep needs.
You need some changes to your sleep.
You’d like to wake refreshed.
You’d like to have more energy and vitality throughout the day.
My approach is holistic and seeks to identify the underlying contributors of your sleep challenges. I developed Integrative Sleep Support to address the ABC’s of SLEEP. This makes the process of what needs to be considered when there are sleep challenges as easy as possible to ensure results. It is this integrative approach that I offer in every Sleep Consult.
