From struggling with sleep problems to sleeping well consistently
I know from personal experience how it feels not to be able to sleep well at night. I struggled with insomnia in the past too and dreaded going to bed not knowing how the night will turn out.
I used to toss and turn in bed at night and it often took me over an hour to fall asleep. Then I'd wake up in the middle of the night a couple of times (in my case because of nose bleeds and overthinking) and found it difficult to get back to sleep again. And of course, I woke up in the morning feeling tired or even exhausted, and all of that before having to face a busy day.
Today, I don't have any of those problems and it's great to teach others like you the practical sleep skills that enabled me to overcome my insomnia and sleep well every night no matter what happens during the day.
I'm very proud of the work that I do helping clients finally sleep well again.

It's completely possible to sleep well consistently every night
Since I started my sleep coaching practice in 2014, I worked with so many great clients who almost lost hope in finally being able to overcome their sleep problems or insomnia.
It takes commitment, time and work to retrain your body (and your mind) to create healthy and optimized sleep every night. It certainly isn't about 'top tips' or 'secrets' like you might have read or heard through other resources.
Sleep changes every night, which is probably one of the frustrating things especially when you don't know how to influence the outcome. The great thing about us human beings is that we can learn sleep skills and train ourselves to improve our sleep across all stages of our life. Sleep is not as much about the 'science' but more about the practicalities.
The best way to show you what is possible is to share what my previous clients say about working with me:
When I started working with Beatrix I was in quite a low place. A combination of running a successful and quickly growing business together with raising 2 kids, a home building project and a poorly elderly mother (at a distance) created something of a perfect storm to throw my sleep out completely and suddenly at the start of February.
I only slept every few days (when I was exhausted) …before that my sleep was fine. My GP’s lack of time led to little more than experimenting with a range of pharmaceuticals that did nothing useful and they often fell back to prescribing sleeping pills. My situation was compounded by June as my episodic migraine turned into daily migraine and I ended up in a ‘can’t sleep because of migraine pain… and …get migraine because of lack of sleep’ loop which seriously impacted my quality of life.
During work with Beatrix, you will get to recognise what the real stressors are in your life, how to manage ( and frankly de-fuse) them. By doing this, these issues just don’t appear at night and sleep happens naturally. She has provided me with a toolset here for life.
The pharmaceuticals are long-gone and sleep is much better and I am back to my usual 6-7 h level. I’m back doing my 5 km runs 3 times a week and other leisure activities, always remaining mindful of finding daily space to relax and decompress. I certainly recommend Beatrix to anyone suffering with sleep problems - I took action within a few months of running into problems and with her patient and tailored work, this has prevented a situation running into very long term suffering and bought back my joie de vivre...

Before I began working with Beatrix, I was in a very low place. I had been suffering with 'Long Covid', and had chronic sinus problems that affected my breathing. I dreaded going to bed, I was up 3 or 4 times every night and I was averaging around 4 to 5 hours of very disturbed sleep per night.
Even before this illness, I hadn't been a great sleeper, sleeping no more than 6 hours per night. When I began work with Beatrix, I immediately felt better, she has a calm and assuring presence that helped put me at ease. However I had so many reservations. I doubted whether I would actually be able to change, I doubted whether things could really get better, as Beatrix had assured me that they would.
But each doubt that I had turned out to be unfounded, and at each stage of the process, change did happen, and I grew more confident. The key thing that changed was my perception of self. I had myself pegged as a 'light sleeper', whereas today, I think of myself as someone who can sleep well, no matter what is happening externally. I was surprised by the depth to Beatrix's work, and I particularly enjoyed and benefited from our work exploring personality types.
I learned that it is the beliefs I hold about myself (in particular a belief that, no matter what I do, it won't be good enough), that contribute to a general lack of satisfaction with life, and which then impact sleep negatively. In understanding how these beliefs are impacting my life, I have learned to recognise them when they come up and address them there and then.
All of this has meant that, not only do I sleep better at night, I am much more calm and centred throughout my days. I can't thank Beatrix enough for the joy and wellbeing she has brought to my life. Not only am I sleeping better, my husband is too, having taken on some of the learnings also. This truly is a life changing process, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

When I first got in touch with Beatrix, I was in a bad place with my sleep. A difficult mix of fatigue, an inability to sleep and the resultant anxiety made the start of my final year of university extremely difficult, and I felt at a loss. My academic studies suffered, and I wasn’t happy with my routine and lifestyle. I
would struggle to fall asleep, and if I woke up during the night, it would be a miracle if I managed to fall back to sleep. Instead of trying every farcical remedy I had found online or in the shops, I realised that I had to get to the root of the problem in order to improve my quality of life. I thoroughly enjoyed my work with Beatrix and felt completely supported and understood along the way.
We tried many different exercises, each time learning something new about myself and my mind. This process enabled me to work out that my sleep was being affected by a complex and negative mindset, which I stood no chance of improving without professional help. Understanding my mind and emotions has been so important in dealing with any stresses and life challenges, as I can now cope with them in a more pragmatic way.
I cannot overstate the positive impact that Beatrix’ work has had on my life, and my general happiness. I now no longer describe myself as having a ‘sleep problem’, because my sleep is great. When I look back to where I was in September, it is quite astounding to see how far I have come. I may still have the odd bad night, but I don’t panic about it in the way that I used to.
Along with my better sleep, I have also become much happier with myself and my new routine. My studies have improved drastically, and I have Beatrix’s dedication to her work to thank for this, as well as myself for sticking to her advice!
