Why This Course Exists

You don't want a method to follow.
You want to learn how to think.

You're uncomfortable with non-responsive behavioural sleep training
You want deeper clinical understanding, not scripts
You're tired of simplistic advice that collapses in complex cases
You want to be taken seriously as a professional
You want to build a sustainable, values-led practice

"Holistic sleep coaching is not behavioural training made gentler. It is a multidisciplinary, evidence-led framework."

This programme does not give you a checklist. It develops your ability to think. And that changes everything.

If you've completed other sleep training but still feel gaps – especially with complex cases, feeding integration, temperament, mental health or neurodivergence – this provides the clinical framework your first training lacked.

What Sets This Programme Apart

Evidence-based, gentle, holistic

01

Evidence Appraisal & Applied Sleep Biology

Interpret research confidently, understand applied sleep biology, and assess multifactorial cases using structured clinical reasoning.

02

Structured Clinical Reasoning for Complex Cases

Consider feeding, development, mental health, temperament, neurodiversity, sensory processing, and family context as part of integrated assessment.

03

Clear Professional Scope & Sustainable Practice

Practise within clear scope, communicate confidently, and be seen as an evidence-led professional with a thriving practice.

What This Training Enables You To Do

By the end of this programme, you will be able to:

A professional framework for thinking, assessing, and practising with integrity.

Navigate Complex Infant Sleep With Clinical Clarity

We're selective. Here's why.

The ones who thrive share one quality — a hunger for clinical understanding, not scripts.

Good fit if…

You're a professional working with families (health visitor, midwife, IBCLC, doula, nanny, OT) seeking deeper clinical expertise in sleep

You're transitioning into sleep coaching and committed to building a professional identity

You value evidence-based, responsive care over behavioural techniques

You want clinical reasoning and depth, not scripts or quick fixes

You're building a long-term professional practice and sustainable income

You're willing to examine your own biases and engage with complexity

You're prepared to invest time equivalent to university-level study

Not a fit if…

You want a "gentle method" you can market without deep understanding

You're looking for sleep training with a rebrand or softer language

You expect certification with minimal effort

You want scripts to follow, not thinking to develop

You're seeking information for your own baby, not to build a professional practice

You're exploring casually without commitment to becoming a practitioner

You're unwilling to engage with complexity and multidisciplinary frameworks

Frequently Asked Questions

Answered honestly.

Is it worth £4,250?

This investment is designed to pay for itself, in client revenue, credibility, and career opportunities that no short or generic course can match.

Is this course accredited?

Yes, this course is accredited through the Open College Network, the largest vocational body in the UK. The course is accredited at level 6.

For our IBCLC and aspiring IBCLC colleagues, the course is accredited for CERPS. Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive 7.25 L(Lactation), 2E(Ethics), and 35R (Related), a total of 44.25 CERPS until July 15th, 2024.* *The course will then be re-accredited for CERPS, and the value may be different. We cannot guarantee the number of CERPS at this time.

Does this course qualify me to be a qualified sleep consultant?

Currently, there is no set industry ‘qualification' that qualifies you to be a sleep consultant.

This means that after any sleep course, you could technically call yourself a sleep coach, sleep consultant, sleep nanny, or similar.

The benefit of completing the Holistic Sleep Coaching Program is that students can complete an in-training program, which is delivered by leading specialists in the field. This enables students to feel confident that they are receiving the best possible information and guidance that will help them in their work supporting families.

The accreditation through OCN enables students to feel confident that teaching and marking standards are upheld through the rigorous internal and external verification process.

Can I fit this course into my lifestyle?

Short answer: yes. You can log in and out of the course at any time, and you will see a mixture of written content, videos, and quizzes. You can download a copy of the course and even listen to it on the go.

All the coaching call sessions are recorded and made available after 24 hours, so if you miss anything, you will be able to catch up.

There is no attendance element to this course, so no travel time to account for, no childcare, and no additional expenses.

Is NOW the right time for me to take this course?

The Holistic Sleep Coaching Programme requires professional identity commitment, at least 80+ hours of active learning, and an ongoing dedication to improving your skills as a sleep therapist.

If you're still figuring out professional identity or are getting accustomed to your life after a big life change, you may want to take some time and think about enrolling.

When you KNOW helping families with sleep is your path and that you CAN dedicate your time, THEN enroll.

Don't make a rushed decision; we'll be here when you're ready.

Are there any prerequisites before attending this course?

Before signing up for this course, you are required to have a good level of conversational English. The course is taught in English, and assignments must be completed in English.

In order to complete the Holistic Sleep Coaching Program, candidates are required to have the following in place:

Internet access and a working email address.
Up-to-date internet browser.
Ability to hear audio/video via your computer.
Use of a computer to study the course. Phones and tablets are not recommended.

What support do I get after graduation?

Lifelong community, ongoing masterclasses, and mentorship to boost confidence and referrals.

What if my partner isn't fully on board?

Your partner needs to be genuinely supportive, not persuaded.

This is an investment (financial and of your time and attention), and you will feel more comfortable taking this step to elevate your practice with full support.

Before you enroll, show what you learned about Holistic Sleep Coaching with your partner, don't just tell them.

Let them see what you're signing up for, and ensure they understand why this matters.

If you both don't agree on making this step right now, take some time. We're here if you need any additional information.
