Holistic Sleep Coaching for Children & Teens

This certification program is designed to help trained professionals support the sleep needs of kids and teens in a complete, whole-person way. We cover children from age 4 all the way to 17, bringing together sleep science, developmental psychology, and real life family situations. You’ll also address tough topics that often show up in coaching, like bullying, menstruation, screen habits, exposure to pornography, and how parental behavior can either help or get in the way.

With the Holistic Science of Sleep Method™, you’ll look closely at how biology, mindset, daily routines, nutrition, trauma-informed care, and nervous system regulation all connect. Plus, you’ll learn the process for creating individualized sleep plans tailored to children and teens, and how to support clients through setbacks with empathy and practical, evidence-based guidance.

If you’re a professional who wants to expand your work with younger clients, or you want to focus specifically on children-teen sleep coaching, this program fits really well.
