What is a placement?

Free support from a trained professional. Here's how it works.

When our graduates complete the Holistic Sleep Coaching Programme, we encourage them to support their first families for free, or at a heavily subsidised rate. This is not a compromise on quality. It is how a great professional builds a great practice.

For families, a placement means access to a qualified, motivated sleep coach at no cost. In return, the coach gains real-world experience and asks only for honest feedback and a reference if you feel the support was valuable.

Fully trained

Every coach on this page has completed the full HSCP programme. The same clinical depth as established practitioners.

Insurance verified

All coaches confirm professional indemnity insurance before being listed. HSCP certification also confirmed

No obligation

You contact them directly. Terms are agreed between you and the coach. Babyem does not mediate or manage the arrangement.

Why This Works

"The best sleep coaches are not born experienced. They are trained rigorously, and then given the space to practise well."

This is the model. A graduate leaves the programme with clinical depth and genuine motivation. What they need next is real families: real situations, real outcomes, real trust earned.
What they are building is a portfolio: a set of real families they have supported, with real outcomes. You can be part of that, at no cost to you.

Simple process

How it works for families

Four steps. No waiting around. No ambiguity. You are always in control.
1

Browse the coaches

Filter by location, specialism, or baby age. Read each profile and find someone who feels right for your family.
2

Sleep Biology

Reach out through their profile. This is a direct conversation between you and the coach. Babyem is not involved.
3

Clinical Integration

Discuss what support looks like, how you will work together, and what you will provide in return — typically a reference.
4

Professional Practice

Work together directly. If it is not the right fit, there is no obligation to continue. Your family comes first.

The difference between a newly qualified coach and an experienced one is experience, not knowledge. Their training is current, thorough, and clinically grounded. What they are building is a track record. You can be part of that.

Questions

Answered honestly.

Is a newly qualified coach as capable as an experienced one?
All our coaches have been through the same programme of training and development, and newly qualified coaches receive regular supervision as they build their practice. What a newer coach may have less of is direct client experience — though many bring rich and diverse life or career backgrounds that inform how they work with families.

What a placement builds is exactly that practical experience: real families, real situations, real outcomes. Their training is current, their motivation is high, and their investment in getting this right is significant.
A written testimonial. That is the core ask, and it matters enormously to a newly qualified coach building their practice.

These coaches have invested significant time, money and effort completing the full Holistic Sleep Coaching Programme. They have studied hundreds of hours of clinical sleep science, infant development, responsive parenting approaches, and complex case work. When they take on a placement family, they give that family the same preparation, care and professional attention they would give a paying client.

In return, a genuine testimonial — honest about your experience, what you found helpful, and how the support affected your family — is what allows them to build a credible practice.

There is no obligation to continue. If the arrangement is not right for your family, you can end it at any point. We encourage all families to be honest about this. It is the best outcome for everyone, including the coach.

No. Babyem verifies training completion and documentary compliance. All arrangements are made directly between you and the coach. We do not mediate, supervise, or manage the support relationship.
Coaches update their own availability. We ask all listed professionals to review their status monthly. If a coach has filled their placements, they will update or remove their listing. If you contact someone who is no longer available, please let us know.

For graduates

Getting your first clients is the hardest part of building a practice. This page puts your profile in front of families who are actively looking for newly qualified coaches who understand the arrangement.

Each placement gives you real experience, a testimonial, and the confidence to move into a full practice. The goal is simple: five supported families, five references, and a practice you can build on.
