Book your Complimentary Sleep Assessment to discuss your sleep problems or insomnia

Let me start by saying that my time with Beatrix has been truly life changing!

Before I started I had a lot of issues around sleeping (some I didn’t even know about). I considered myself a ‘light sleeper’, I would be very alert and sensitive to sound. Waking up several times in the night and I’d be happy if I got more than 4 hours. I had created an environment that I thought would help me sleep, but actually it created a lot of anxiety for me. I even prided myself on being someone who ‘doesn’t need a lot of sleep’.

Working with Beatrix was challenging at times as she had an incredible insight into what my habits and feelings were around sleep. She would challenge those in a kind, but direct way that would sometimes feel uncomfortable, but she also created a space where we could sit in that discomfort together and explore what we could do to improve my sleep.

One of the biggest takeaways from my time with Beatrix was learning to focus on my emotional and mental well-being as well as my physical, especially during the day time. It has meant that I have connected to my own needs and wants and she has helped me navigate some incredibly sensitive issues in my personal life that were affecting my sleep. Challenging my thoughts around sleep has actually helped me to look at myself as a whole person and how I go through life and even how I want to show up. Being tired kinda prevents you from doing that.

Now I have a routine and a mindset that I feel so confident with, but not only that; it is something that I feel I can sustain. I consistently get 8 hrs+ with very few wakings and even on days where I am struggling with a busy brain; I feel I have the tools in place to ensure I get enough rest and relaxation.

Working with Beatrix is not a ‘quick fix’, it requires you to show up as well and that can seem scary, but I can honestly tell you it is worth every penny and every minute. I cannot recommend Beatrix and her work highly enough.

Insomnia has been one of the most challenging things that I've dealt with for many years. It can be exhausting, frustrating, and at its worst....down right debilitating. I tried damn near everything from sleeping pills, supplements, CBT-I, technology, etc...just to get a few hours of rest.

I came across one of Beatrix's YouTube sleep coaching videos and found what she was sharing insightful and helpful. I appreciated that her methods were so different from what I've experienced with Western based treatment. Inspired with hope, I decided to reach out to her directly, and that's where my journey to a better nights rest began.

She's an amazing coach. No nonsense, no BS....and she takes a very simplistic approach with her methods. She provided me not only with the tools to be successful, but also with the belief and confidence that I can achieve a good night's rest. She also taught me that we all go through cycles of difficult sleep, and that's ok.

By applying her tools and training, it helped me ease through those cycles...becoming more accepting, and calming my lively mind during the night.

I highly recommend them both if you're looking for valuable and simple solutions to solving your sleep challenges. And if you're looking for more assistance, reach out to her directly and set up a consultation.

I can promise you that it will be a life changing experience, and you can & will achieve a great life of rest. Thank you Beatrix for helping me get back to a more restful life!!

Working with Beatrix was truly a game changer for me.

I began sessions thinking of myself as an insomniac and had suffered for almost ten years with periods of times being unable to sleep. Riddled with anxiety about getting sufficient sleep, worries about how I would be able to function or emotionally regulate the next day. I found myself counting the hours I had left to sleep, feeling so much pressure to sleep inevitably lead to more sleepless nights.

Beatrix is so understanding, having experienced sleep issues herself I felt she really "got" the worries and feelings that I had around sleep. I had previously tried CBT to deal with my sleep problems to no avail. I found Beatrix's approach helped me to get tangible lifestyle and perspective changes in a holistic way. I was able to release myself from the pressure to fall asleep quickly and focus on rest and relaxation. I was also able to take a look at other parts of my life and create behaviours that made me feel more balanced in general.

I no longer deal with sleep problems. I used to have fear that because my life involved a lot of travel and less routine I wouldn't be able to fix my sleep issues but with Beatrix I was able to realized my road towards healing was not through control but through understanding, perspective changes and practices for emotional regulation.

I can honestly say working with Beatrix was one of the best investments i've ever made and I wish everyone who was struggling to sleep could find the support that Beatrix gives.

I was unable to remember a time in my adult life when I felt that I had had a good night’s sleep, often waking on the hour, and I felt I had done well if I got three hours of unbroken sleep in a night.  I defined myself as a person who just couldn’t sleep and this affected every aspect of my life. An afternoon nap was an essential part of my daily routine, and I often felt I was sleeping away a good part of the day, which in turn made me frustrated, irritable, and miserable. 

I had unsuccessfully tried many different approaches to improve my sleep. Then I found Beatrix - and I find it hard to express just what a difference three months of her personal coaching has made. I am no longer a person who can’t sleep, and I now consistently have around seven hours of sleep a night and wake feeling refreshed and energised. I have learned how to sleep well, and have a set of skills and tools that I can use if and when I need them. 

I felt instantly comfortable in my sessions with Beatrix and really appreciated her highly personal approach. It always felt that the sessions were tailor-made for me and, as they went on, I learned more about how I could improve other areas of my life. I now feel happy and confident that not only can I sleep well, but I can also engage better with my emotions. I can now intervene to prevent negative thoughts and feelings escalating, and as a result, I feel so much more grounded emotionally. I felt that Beatrix was continually fine-tuning the process to enable maximum improvement. She was completely engaged, responsive, non-judgmental, and was always there if I was having a problem and needed additional support.  

My experience with Beatrix has been life-changing and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Retired Database Consultant

When I came to Beatrix I was struggling to sleep. I went to bed stressed and anxious and would get up to distract myself.

I found it hard to focus and perform at work and was not feeling happy or well. I really enjoyed exploring why I was not sleeping and discussions and exercises I did with Beatrix helped me to understand the role my own mind had in keeping me awake rather than all the other things I was blaming it on.

As a result of this coaching I am confident that I will sleep when I go to bed, and do sleep well. I have more energy and enthusiasm for life and am picking up activities I had abandoned when I felt sleep deprived.

It's made a huge difference to my wellbeing and I'm very glad I could benefit from Beatrix's work.

Kaz Stuart 

Director of Strategy and Learning

Working with Beatrix has been one of the most impactful experiences of my life. What started as a journey to improve my sleep quickly became so much more. She helped me understand myself in ways I hadn’t before, equipping me with the tools to navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence.

Since our sessions, my sleep has completely transformed. I now have a consistent routine, going to bed at 10 PM and waking up refreshed at 6 AM. It has become second nature, something I don’t even have to think about anymore. Even on the occasions where I'm out or socialising, even when I allow myself a lie-in, I wake up feeling rested rather than sluggish. That is a huge shift from where I started.

But what is even more profound is how Beatrix’s teachings extend beyond sleep. I now recognise when I am on autopilot, stepping in to ask myself, Do I really need to be doing this? That awareness has helped me set boundaries in both my personal and professional life. I have become better at protecting my focus time at work, saying no to unnecessary meetings, and ensuring I have the space to be productive without burnout. It is not perfect yet, but every week I get better at it.

One of the biggest revelations has been understanding how my body works. Through tracking my cycle, I have noticed how my energy fluctuates throughout the month. The first 20 days, I feel fresh and full of energy, but as I approach the end of my cycle, I know to lower my workload, schedule fewer meetings, and prioritise rest. This small shift has made a world of difference in how I manage stress and maintain my energy levels.

I have also become more mindful of my evening routine. If I find myself dozing off on the sofa, I now recognise the pattern and make small adjustments, like sitting on the floor instead, to keep myself engaged in the evening. Even when my daughter, Nala, wakes up during the night, I no longer stress about getting back to sleep. Instead, I focus on rest, and more often than not, I wake up feeling refreshed.

Beatrix’s support has been truly life-changing. She does not just offer quick fixes. She helps you build lasting habits that genuinely improve your well-being. The lessons I have learned from her will stay with me for a lifetime, and I almost wish I could have her on retainer as a monthly sounding board.

If you are considering working with Beatrix, do not hesitate. She is so much more than a sleep coach. She is a guide for anyone looking to regain control, find balance, and step into a life that truly works for them.

For me, sleeping through the night was a challenge I had given up. I just didn't believe that there were any methods to get a normal night's sleep. I thought I was a special case. The problem of sleeping through the night has determined my life for about 25 years. I'm a coach myself, even a success coach, so I've really tried “everything”. I had at least thought so. But nothing really helped.

So what was the specific problem? I was able to sleep through for four to five hours and woke up every night. Then I listened to some exercises in order to fall asleep again after an hour and a half. Overall, however, I had to spend 9 to 10 hours in bed to get enough sleep. Then I confronted the situation that even this “listening to lessons” or other kind of distracting exercises didn't work anymore. So I was struggling with only 4 to 5 hours of sleep.

After the coaching with Beatrix I no longer need any kind of external devices or lessons to fall asleep again. I sleep an average of six and a half to 7 hours. That's quite a miracle. For which I am very grateful.

What supported me even more and what I enjoyed a lot were the coaching results on other topics: e.g. in private relationships, or on professional levels.

It was a great honor for me to work with Beatrix. She is a wonderful gift to this planet.

Before working with Beatrix, I had a very rocky relationship with my sleep.

It began after giving birth to my first child when I suffered from postnatal anxiety, which left me going days- yes literally days- without being able to sleep. I had a course of CBT sessions, which initially helped, but after the birth of my second child and covid, my sleeplessness returned and my previous therapy did not seem to help.

I felt hopeless and incredibly uncertain about being able to sleep. I struggled with 'busy mind' and not being able to fall asleep easily. After struggling with insomnia for the past 6 years, I literally felt 'broken' and so afraid that I would never be able to sleep again.

What I enjoyed most about working with Beatrix is her personalised approach to tackling sleep issues. Beatrix really listened and helped alleviate a lot of my sleep worries.

I am now sleeping for 7 hours most nights and falling asleep within 15 minutes. This isn't something I thought would be possible. 

Jasmine 

Teacher 

I began working with Beatrix in December 2022. At that time I was achieving perhaps 5 hours of sleep per night and enduring frequent awakenings in the very early hours and failing to get back to sleep. When I did go back to sleep it was often after several hours of restlessness which also impacted upon my wife of course.

This had been happening for a number of years ... probably since I turned 50. As annoying as it was I had come to accept this as normal for my age. I had seen my father experience something similar and this just confirmed how "normal " this was.

After working with Beatrix for 3 months I now know that the previous situation is anything but normal. I am now consistently enjoying maybe 6 nights out of 7 a clear 8 or 8.5 hours uninterrupted sleep. I have also developed the capacity to fall back to sleep when I do wake up.

Furthermore, if I do wake in the night I can usually pinpoint the reason why. This I have found is a major part of the process to develop the skill set that I was so badly lacking before. I have never been a "morning person" and maybe I am not there yet. But I am a whole lot more awake after a regular 8 hours of sleep.

The changes I have made through working with Beatrix have on one level been rather minor to be honest. In terms of effectiveness they have been anything but minor! I guess the biggest hurdle that was overcome was the ingrained belief that I had developed that I wasn't able to sleep through the night. Guess what – with a belief like that it so often proved to be correct!

I found Beatrix to be very personable and I enjoyed our online sessions. They were practical and realistic. Beatrix and I have only met on screen but it was evident very quickly that she had totally sized me up and this enabled her to push just the right buttons to be effective. This is clearly a skill and it enabled progress to be made very quickly indeed.

Amazingly, after only 3 months I now go to bed with great confidence that I will sleep through the night. Seems such a basic thing but I was so far from this 3 months ago.

Ian Jarvis 

Director

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.

Maurice Carlin - Director of Islington Mill

So this is my Story of what I've been through over many years of dealing with insomnia, it started over 25 years ago when I was working late nights, I had never been a good sleeper, but this made it worse.

When insomnia came into my life I used alcohol to help me sleep, and then when Nytol came on to the market I used this to help aid sleep, which it did for a good few years. The effects of Nytol slowly stopped working and it was taking longer to get to sleep, so I decided to get extra help. This process was getting CBT sessions, which did work very well for twelve months, but that wore off and I resorted back to Nytol. I then tried the NHS Sleepio sleep guide, which did nothing and then tried hypnotherapy which did nothing as well. I then went back to CBT which did not work at all this time.

Then four years ago, I suffered the loss of my farter and I suffered a brain injury at the same time and my insomnia went downhill very quickly. I was lost and did not know what to do as I had tried everything, so I resorted to using medication, cannabis and alcohol, at first individually, but that wore off in the end.

So I combined all three at the same time, and guess what.......yes I was out like a light every night, which was fine, but the next day did I feel bad, so this went on for a year and a half till one day I just could not take it any more and decided that I was going to seek help.

I thought if you can find life coaches then I'm sure I can find a sleep coach, which is where I stumbled on Beatrix.

The process which she talked me through was step by step was painless and gradually through the sessions, it got down into the end that I was drinking very little to get me to sleep and it's true that I was feeling ok in the mornings with very little hangovers.

But I decided to go further and I went clean, with no drink or anything to aid in sleep. This was easy and now I just go to bed and sleep it can take a while some nights maybe 30 mins or more but this process is easy and I feel comfortable in this process of going to sleep.

Was meeting Beatrix and working with her life changing for me........possibly, yes. And even 6 months after we finished our work, my sleep continues to improve.

Writing this has made me a little emotional about what I've been through to get to this stage of my new sleep. Trust me, no one had worse insomnia than me, and I mean no one.

So, if you have come this far with reading the testimonials, my advice is to go for it, as Beatrix said to me " what have you got to lose "

Paul Flaherty - Director of property investment company

I had struggled with sleep for 5 years, still awake until 3am most nights. In the first session, Beatrix was quickly able to establish the areas I needed to focus on.

Just putting some simple changes in place, within two weeks I managed to get additional sleep. Within 6 weeks I was sleeping every night moving from average 3 hours to 6 hours sleep every night and it has continued to improve.

After 3 months I am still sleeping 6-7 hours most nights.

You definitely have to be prepared to be open and honest in order for Beatrix to really get under the skin of what is causing the sleep issues, but she has also helped me in other parts of my life, particular creating more work/life balance, giving me so much more time for myself.

I would absolutely recommend Beatrix, she's always there to talk to me, understand what was causing my sleep challenge and bring me back on track, always having tools for me to use or refocussing on the ones she had already shared.

Leah Queripel - HR Director

I initially went to Beatrix for insomnia, while I was hesitant not knowing if anything would work, by the second session I had gone from a few hours to get to sleep to about 15 minutes with some simple changes to my lifestyle.

Over the course we went though a set of exercises and assessments that helped me to understand myself and the things in my life that were causing me issues. with a good toolbox of things to do I am now much more proactive and use my time better.

My sleep has improved so much that I now get a good night's sleep every night and it is all thanks to the lessons Beatrix has taught me.

George - AEM Solutions Architect as seen on LinkedIn.com

I worked with Beatrix for several months and my sleep changed from just having one good day of sleep a week (probably from exhaustion) to being able to get good sleep most days of the week.

I am over the moon to have been able to get my sleep on track!

Equally important, Beatrix has helped me to develop tools to deal with my anxiety and I have gained great self-awareness which will help me with whatever challenges I face with my sleep (or life!) again.

Beatrix was very patient, encouraging and non judgmental. This made working with her very comfortable. I also felt that she really cared about me and she adapted her sessions according to my progress. Her service was very bespoke.

I fully recommend her services not just for the sleep but as an investment on your long-term general well-being.

Elena - Director of a fashion startup

When I started with Beatrix I was exhausted, run down, not sleeping well at all and life was generally a mess in my head without me knowing it. Most nights I was struggling to fall asleep for over an hour, would wake up 2 or 3 times a night tossing and turning and only sleeping around 3-5 hours.

I had suffered with this problem all of my life but it got worst with responsibility and stress.

Working with Beatrix has allowed me to make my own choices in a controlled manner and enabled me to put myself and family life first which is what everybody needs to do.

I am now sleeping fantastically and could not say enough about the results I have received. I fall asleep within about 20 minutes most nights and sleep about 7 good quality hours consistently.

Seriously recommend using Beatrix's services if you struggle with sleep .. or anything else for that matter! Amazing!

Martin - Director of building services company

Having tried all manner of treatments and gadgets to help with my sleep I finally managed to get to meet Beatrix Schmidt who kindly took me on as a client.

I found it hard to go to sleep, woke too frequently for too long at night, slept about 5-6 hours on average for about 10 years and was always very tired.

By the end of our work, I was able to fall asleep within 15 minutes and sleeping at least 7,5 hours consistently. I don't quite sleep through without waking but I drift off quickly when I do wake.

Well I am 54! I can now safely say I am sleeping much much better and my energy levels are high. I can handle poor sleep but coupled with very low energy every day was a drudge.

I would highly recommend Beatrix to anyone with sleep issues.

Dermot O'Grady - Managing Director as seen on LinkedIn.com

After a long period of sleep challenges (17 years) where I thought I had tried everything, Harley Street professionals, hypnotherapy, sleep schools, you name it I tried it. By the way, it cost me thousands trying to find an answer to my sleep issues. Then I was recommended to reach out to Beatrix.

Having worked with Beatrix now for over 6 months, I feel compelled to share my experiences. Most importantly the impact that working with Beatrix will bring to your wellbeing and current sleep situation.

Beatrix is more of a professional life coach, she will get to understand you, be aware she will probably understand you more than you do yourself!

She will challenge your way of thinking, create a positive balance in your mindset, whilst assisting you with tools to use when and if you require them with your sleep. It is not easy, but then how easy is your situation with sleep? If like me, it consumed me for over 17 years. There is no quick fix and I still have the challenges from time to time, but I have a tool kit to use and confidence that no one else showed me.

I would have no hesitation to anyone, particularly those professionals that at times, need to reflect, capture where they are at, but actually do something that will help you get your sleep, mind and wellbeing on track.

I can honestly say I really enjoyed working with Beatrix, do not suffer any longer, you have one life, do not waste it with negative thoughts and sleep issues, do something about it.

David Clarke - Managing Director of Eurofins Chemtest Limited as seen on LinkedIn.com

When I started work with Beatrix, I was 51 and hadn’t averaged more than five-and-a-half hours’ sleep a night since my daughter was born. I was stressed out about it because I know poor sleep habits are correlated with ill health.

At times I was scared to drive because I was so tired, I wasn’t confident I’d react quickly enough. It wasn’t that I couldn’t get to sleep: I couldn’t stay asleep. I’d wake up multiple times between 1 and 5 in the morning, toss and turn for an hour, get bored and pick up one of my devices.

I tried melatonin (didn’t work and gave me panic attacks). I tried anti-histamines (didn’t work and linked to Alzheimer’s). I saw my doctor, who prescribed me sleeping pills (didn’t work) and then a very low dose antidepressant that can help with insomnia, but that didn’t really make a difference either. I’d been on those meds for about 2 years when I met Beatrix.

What I liked about working with Beatrix was that I could tell her anything and she didn’t judge me; she just showed how that was affecting my sleep. We had regular sessions to review my sleep diary and figure out cause and effect for my sleep patterns and to come up with practical approaches to changing my habits.

By the end of the first session, I decided not to take any more sleep meds and I’ve been off them ever since. Beatrix spaces the habit changing out over the sessions so it never feels overwhelming.

At this point, I average 7 hours of sleep. That’s what I was getting when I was in my twenties. I don’t have to drag myself through the day. I used to feel as if I was permanently jet-lagged, but the fog in my brain has lifted.

I went to Beatrix to figure out my sleep but the change has been much more profound than that. It’s been a life changer. Forever grateful.

Linda - Vice President, Professional Services Firm

I met Beatrix in 2018 and she improved my sleeping immediately with only minor and personal adjustments to my lifestyle.

I cannot thank her enough in that my whole life is now more balanced. Our sessions have moved onto positive outcomes generally AND my sleep is now nigh on perfect.

I was previously only sleeping a few hours. Thank you Beatrix
