Side-effect free ways to support better sleep
Lying in bed, wide awake and exhausted at the same time, calculating exactly how little sleep you’ll be getting even if you manage to finally nod off right now
But whether it’s long term chronic insomnia, perimenopause or menopause related, ADHD restless brain or simply a one off “bad” night, there are side-effect free ways to support yourself in getting better sleep and waking up, recharged, energised and ready to enjoy the day ahead.
Insomnia is torture
With personal experience of chronic insomnia from primary school until my mid 20s (I overslept for my Drama GCSE exam having been unable to GET to sleep until it was almost time to go to school), I love being able to use what I’ve learned to help my clients, Sole to Soul Circle members and yoga students sleep better.
In addition to supporting clients with psychosynthesis counselling and self care coaching, I’m a Senior Sleep Recovery Practitioner having done additional training with Lisa Sanfilippo (author of Yoga Therapy for Insomnia and Sleep Recovery).
As well as working with individuals online, before moving to Westport, Co Mayo, Ireland in 2019, I taught a weekly Sleep Yoga class at Benton Hall Golf & Country Club, Witham, Essex. I also facilitated a Sleep Retreat at Westport Country Lodge Hotel and Sleep Yoga workshops.
“Working with Eve helped me not only in the short term – improving my outlook and attitude to help me through a very difficult time – but also in the long term as I have taken to heart the lessons learnt and am feeling happier and more positive than I have ever felt before. Thank you, Eve.”

There is so much you can do to learn to help yourself
Part of the trouble with insomnia is that we can feel too tired to do the things we know could help but with practice, insomnia self help tools will become easy for you to implement and maintain.
Trauma recovery, while aided by rest and good sleep, can also be impacted as hypervigilance and other symptoms of PTSD, CPTSD or even general stress and anxiety can make it feel very challenging to LET yourself let go enough to sleep but this is something we can (gently and powerfully) work with too.
Mindfulness for sleep can be wonderful but needs to be paired with self-compassion.
Whether you’re struggling to drop off or waking up earlier than you want, if you want better sleep and to feel more energised, I’d love to hear from you.
Self-care coaching for insomnia can help you experiment with a range of tools for better sleep, putting into practice the ones that work best for you.
This will make it more likely that you’ll be able to sleep and wake up feeling refreshed.
Personally speaking, while I’ve had to reprioritise my own self care for sleep with perimenopause and menopause, my own sleep is better than ever. I can implement mind/body and energy work tools to make it much easier to ease into sleep.
And I really wish I’d understood the impact of ADHD on my sleep (and life!) all these decades as, again, there are ways to support yourself that you may never have even considered.
Self-care coaching for insomnia isn’t just about learning sleep hygiene and bedtime routines that will help you unwind before bed. It’s also about doing things throughout the day to make that later unwinding much easier.
Supporting your nervous system with a holistic mind, body, heart and soul approach.
All my work is collaborative so the choice about the direction we take and tools you learn is entirely up to you.
The fact that you’re reading this, looking for support and knowing you can improve things is a big step.
