We’ll meet once a week (audio or video, up to you).

In the first session, we’ll find your baseline:  What’s your schedule, how much sleep are you getting, how much time are you spending in bed, etc. 

So we’ll identify what exactly is going wrong and the rest of the program will focus on how to fix those problems.  You’ll learn the why, what, when along the way. 

Remember, all of the course and coaching material is founded on the best, evidence-based behavioral therapies for Insomnia. And custom tailored for you. 

In between our weekly sessions, I recommend you take the Prevent and Manage Insomnia course in the Mind Awake app.  Then, we’ll go over the lesson material on our calls (but this is just recommended, it’s not mandatory, we can customize your program another way). 

Now, all of the following topics may not apply to you, but we will find the ones that do, and we’ll customize your plan accordingly. On our calls, we’ll cover:

• Your sleep environment (sleep hygiene)
• Your routines, habits, and schedule
• Addressing your struggle with sleep
• When your insomnia started, and why you think that is 
• Developing healthier habits that promote great sleep

• Making sure we stay consistent so you don’t just learn how to improve, you actually do improve.

There’s a big difference between feeling better in the short term, and being better in the long term. This program will help you let go of the old routine, and finally get healthy, restful sleep.

Although the guided Insomnia course in Mind Awake is not personalized, it does cover the core fundamentals of healthy sleep and Insomnia… that course is available to anyone who subscribes in the app.

But this coaching program will be tailored for you individually.  Here’s how:

• In the Nudge app, which I’ll send to you after our first call, we will create a customized plan.
• We can schedule reminders (daily or every other day)
• Sleep Efficiency Tracking
• Mini-lessons (topics that apply to you personally)
• Chat — you can text me in the app in between sessions

We can also chat throughout the week on the Nudge app.  All of this is 100% confidential.

The one on one coaching program is $300 per month.  We’ll make sure you’re comfortable before committing and I won’t push you or ‘hard sell’ anything 🙂
