Stop looking outside yourself for

solutions to your sleep problems

INTRODUCING...

Permission To Sleep

The coaching membership that helps busy, midlife women sleep better without pills, potions or needing anyone else's permission.

ENROL  NOW

I see you, sleepyhead.

You're DESPERATE to sleep better and feel better, but none of the sleep advice on the internet has helped.

You’ve tried EVERYTHING and don’t want to waste money on one more gadget, pill or supplement.

You don't want to give up because you’ve slept better than this before.

But after YEARS of putting work and everyone else first, it feels like you’ve forgotten how.

You thought sleep would get easier when your kids started sleeping through the night, or even left home.

But now it’s YOU who’s wide awake.

You’re FRUSTRATED with trying so hard to sleep better and still not being able to do it.

And you find yourself thinking...

"There must be something wrong with me"

"Maybe I'm not meant to sleep better than this"

Something needs to change - NOW

TRYING so hard to sleep is making your insomnia worse. And it leaves you feeling ALONE, WORRIED, and like something is very WRONG with you.

NONE of those things has to be true.

There's an EASIER solution to sleeping better that actually comes with support, is backed by science, and works for the long term.

I've developed a complete process (based on a combination of CBTI tools, life coaching, and mindfulness based stress management practices) to help you sleep better, prioritize YOUR self care, and maintain your results for the long term. Just by using something you already have access to every day - your brain.

Permission To Sleep isn't just another sleep hygiene tool to add to your collection of bandaid "solutions".

It's the way OUT of that vicious cycle of

wasting more money on things that don't work.

ENROL NOW

I know everyone is telling you to get blue light blocking glasses and take Valerian Root supplements.

But those are external, bandaid solutions that really don't help.

They don't resolve the CAUSE of your insomnia.

Let's face it - if they worked, you wouldn't be here reading this right now.

If I had a nickel for every time a woman tells me she's working on her sleep using her fitness tracker, or adding a new supplement, essential oil or scented lotion, and nothing has worked, well...I would be retired and living on a beach somewhere right now.

If that's you, you have to keep trying new things because

none of them will ever work until you focus on what's going on with your

THOUGHTS, FEELINGS & BELIEFS about sleep.

When you look outside yourself for sleep solutions, you give that "solution" all the power.

Instead, imagine taking that authority back to find & maintain your sleep solutions from WITHIN yourself.

The outside world isn't going to get any more certain. Life isn't going to stop throwing you curveballs, and isn't going to manage your stress for you. Dealing with insomnia from the inside out is the only way you can have sleep success that lasts.

Permission To Sleep

is a membership program that helps you get more consistent, quality sleep

using specific strategies and tools that are backed by science to help you:

Fall Asleep More Easily

Fall asleep more easily at bedtime, and get back to sleep faster. We can't stop midnight wake-ups, but they don't have to ruin your night

Quiet Your Racing Mind

Manage bedtime anxiety. Learn how to quiet your brain when it feels like it will never stop talking, worrying or keeping you awake

Wake Up Rested

Learn (or remember!) what quality, restful sleep feels like for you so you can start your days feeling rested and rejuvenated.

With my 4-Step Framework for better sleep...

...you'll learn how to get more consistent, better quality sleep in 8 weeks or less. Then, you'll get additional support from ongoing sleep maintenance content to help you manage the inevitable life stresses that threaten to interfere with your success.

1

Learn

Most insomnia is caused by inaccurate thoughts and beliefs about sleep and the problems it can cause. Undo years (decades even!) of believing the biggest myths about sleep. You'll learn more about sleep than you even thought possible - in just the first week!

2

Observe

Using your Daily Sleep Diary, you'll become an objective observer of what's happening with your sleep on a macro level - not just from one night to the next. You'll learn to notice and stop believing your most unhelpful sleep thoughts. Then, with sleep science as your foundation, you'll discover the new thoughts that help you sleep restfully so you can worry less about the impacts of your sleep for the long term.

3

Relax

Your brain is your most powerful relaxation tool, and it also causes most of your chronic stress. I'll teach you to engage your personal relaxation response to lower stress and better manage your racing mind when you get into bed. You'll also learn strategies that help condition your brain to see your bed (and bedroom) as a pleasant place to sleep, instead of the room that causes you the most anxiety.

4

Maintain

There's no point in learning new tools and habits if you're just going to let your old ones take over the minute you finish a program. That's a surefire path back to insomnia-land, my friend. I want to help you sleep well for the long term, so I add new coaching topics, helpful interviews, worksheets and teaching regularly once you finish your initial 5 sleep modules. Topics include how to deal with perfectionist thoughts, why people pleasing is hurting your sleep and more!

Better quality sleep IS possible.

You just haven't tried fixing it from the inside out yet.

Permission To Sleep helps you fall asleep and stay asleep naturally, using your body's most powerful relaxation and training tool - your brain!

EVEN IF you think you've already tried all the sleep hygiene tips on the internet.

EVEN IF you've read a book on CBTI on your own.

EVEN IF you don't really think you're "that" stressed out.

EVEN IF you're already taking sleep medications.

EVEN IF you think this is just going to be one more thing for you to fail at.

And...

EVEN IF you're worried scheduling your sleep will be too hard for you.

Do you know what happens when you ask a good sleeper for their secrets?

They can't tell you. They have absolutely no idea how it works or what they're doing to make it happen.

That's because sleep is a passive activity. When you're suffering from insomnia, you just want it to stop so you TRY everything you can to fix it.

You DO the exact OPPOSITE of what good sleepers do, and that makes everything worse.

But it's not your fault - it's how your human brain works.

If you are...

...TIRED of trying one thing after another to sleep better, and none of them works

...SCARED to try one more supplement or pill because of their awful side effects

...and yet are DESPERATE to finally sleep better and more consistently,

...then Permission To Sleep is for you.

Enrol Now

Here are a few examples of the results my clients have seen:

"Want three more hours in your day? I've created so much more time in my week by working with Janet. Her program is so easy to follow and I love being able to call myself a good sleeper. I highly recommend this program.
Janet is a sleep ninja!"

- Sarah S.

"Janet helped me see that I was getting better sleep than I thought! I'm now able to challenge my negative sleep thoughts more often and am finding positive ones that work for me too. Janet's program and support were fantastic!"

- Andrea R.

"Janet is extremely knowledgeable about insomnia and the other issues regarding sleep. She loves her clients, and is a kind compassionate person. If you're on the fence about joining, just do it! You won't regret committing to this work."

- Talena K.

But Will It Work For ME?

Permission To Sleep is designed to work for you whether you're a mom or not, whether you're working or retired, and regardless of how many other "solutions" you've tried. All you need is the desire to sleep better, and a willingness to unlearn your old beliefs about sleep, and replace them with learn new, more useful sleep thoughts and habits.

My clients have fallen asleep faster, stayed asleep longer, and created more consistent sleep routines that resulted in better quality sleep. And they come from a range of backgrounds including:

Veterinarians

Life Coaches

Family Physicians

Nurse Pracititoners

Business Coaches

Entrepreneurs

Office Managers

Physiotherapists

Surgeons

Advertising Copywriters

Shift Workers

Grandmas

Moms of Young Kids

Women who don't have kids....and more!

Prioritize YOURSELF in your days and nights.

You will learn:

  • What sleep science and the latest research tells us about sleep & health so you can recognize when your thoughts are more drama than truth
  • How to find the sleep roadblocks you've put in your own way so you can remove them
  • How to track your sleep effectively (HINT: it's not with your fitness tracker)
  • How to find more time in your day to spend completely on YOU
  • How to choose the sleep schedule that works best for you, and revise it until you're sleeping well naturally
  • How to train your brain to see your bed as a place for sleep, not a place where you lie awake frustrated
  • How to train your brain to relax your body on purpose, relieve stress and let sleep come on its own
  • Why feeling "tired" during the day is often a stand-in for another emotion you'd rather not feel (and what to do about it)
  • Why sleep hygiene helps good sleepers, but isn't the best first solution for chronic insomnia
Get Started Right Now!

I'm not going to sugar coat this:

My clients who succeeded at this program did so because they were willing to to figure out the root cause of their insomnia.

They didn't just want relief from their symptoms, they wanted to finally solve the problem itself.

They didn't just want to just commiserate with others who understood, they wanted to stop having something to complain about.

They were only able to do that by joining my program, showing up, being honest with themselves, and doing the work.

Some of them had previously tried to do this on their own, by reading a book or following advice they found on the internet. But they struggled to stay committed when it felt like it wasn't working or they had a setback.

Or they really just wanted a quick fix and got frustrated when a 10 year problem took more than 10 days to fix.

The way I see it, you have two choices:

Choice #1

  • Keep struggling along on your own, wondering why nothing is working, and resign yourself to the fact that sleep probably just "isn't for you"

Choice #2

  • Decide that sleep and creating time for it is important. And that you haven't actually tried "everything". Join Permission To Sleep, and finally get to the root cause of your insomnia so you can solve it at the source.

The Permission To Sleep membership offers a tried and true 4-step framework for better sleep based on sleep science

It's a monthly membership that helps you figure out how to sleep better, and gives you the tools and support to keep sleeping better for the long term.

What Permission To Sleep Clients Say:

"Janet helped me root out the true culprit in my sleep problems of more than 16 years. The shift came when I realized how dismissive I've been about caring for me. It's crazy, because I thought I was good at it. Turns out, through Janet's magical powers, she revealed the honest truth. I wasn't valuing myself, I wasn't seeing myself as deserving of rest & the opposite -- constantly trying to prove I deserved rest. I was spending a lot of mental energy on fighting what I rightfully should have claimed years ago. The rest I thought I was participating in was full of justifications and stress, i.e., not true rest. I'll forever be grateful for Janet, she gracefully let me come to these conclusions & gently lead me to a better way."

- Mariah W.

"I've seen so many benefits from this program! Coming back to the facts and science about sleep and knowing I'll get the sleep I need has been so helpful. I no longer make one night of less sleep mean I'm always going to suffer. Instead, I've learned to trust that my body will sleep eventually. I've also kicked a lot of old perfectionistic habits and replaced them with allowing the idea that I can't work on all the things at once. I focus on what works for me (sleep plus a few more priorities) and that makes me a lot calmer. And all of this has led to improved relationships with my husband and kids as well." 

- Stephanie B.

My Sleep Story:

I was where you are just two short years ago.

It tool me over an hour to fall asleep at night (often more) and I went through phases of middle of the night wake-ups that felt like they would never end.

I slept in on weekends, thinking I could catch up on my lost sleep, not realizing this was making my whole problem even worse.

I resented my husband because he could fall asleep when his head hit the pillow, and took naps regularly on weekends, which I took to mean that I couldn't because "someone" had to look after the kids and household while he rested.

I was waiting for an invitation to do the same, not realizing the invitation had to come from me.

I tried tracking my sleep with my fitness tracker which just made me obsess about data I couldn't control. I tried supplements and weighted blankets and different PJ's and nothing worked.

I got more and more frustrated as the list of things I had tried got longer and I wasn't seeing any success.

I decided "sleep is for chumps" and resigned myself to living a life where I was chronically stressed, tired and frustrated, but assumed living on less sleep was some kind of "superpower" for me.

"The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world" - Leonard Cohen

I'm so glad I didn't give up

Now I sleep an average of 7.5 hours per night (which works for me - your sleep needs will be different). I usually fall asleep BEFORE my husband. I still don't nap, but no longer feel the need to.

I'm calmer, more patient, more relaxed and feel much more in control of my emotions throughout the day. I never worry if I'll be able to sleep because I know it's normal to have less sleep from time to time, and that every 24 hours I get another chance.

I don't ever want to go back to my old insomnia days, which is why I'm so passionate about helping you to sleep better.

I did EVERYthing wrong when I was learning how to sleep better - so you can learn from my mistakes and get there faster than I did.

In Permission To Sleep, I take all the worry out of the HOW so you can just focus on thinking and feeling better. You're always supported as I take you through the process, step by step.

In 60 days from now (or less!), you could have:

Better quality, more consistent sleep,

Less stress,

More patience for your family & kids,

Improved relationships.

More time to spend on yourself, and

A whole new outlook on what rest and rejuvenation mean for you

I completely get that you're looking for a simple answer, because really...why should sleep be this hard?

And the answer is, it isn't. We make it hard by putting so many obstacles in our own way and expecting it to still be easy.

We live in a culture that values quick fixes and bandaid solutions instead of doing the internal work to manage your stress so you can stop telling people you're "busy" and "tired" all the time.

You just didn't know that trying harder creates more insomnia.

You couldn't have known that sleeping in is the opposite of self-care/what you should be doing because that's what we see modeled literally everywhere! Everyone does it. How can it be a problem?

I created this program because I had ALL the same thoughts and worries - and I'm on the other side now so I know there's a better way.

I can't wait to see you in the Permission To Sleep Membership community!

You've read this far and still have questions?

I have answers!

Q: I think my problem is that I'm addicted to my electronic devices and have to scroll around before I feel tired. Will this help me?

You and almost every client I've ever worked with (including myself)! This is addressed in the membership. But the most important thing we address in the program is WHY you think you're addicted to any behaviour that's preventing you from sleeping. What feelings are you trying to avoid feeling? Why are you procrastinating about going to sleep? For a deeper dive into this issue, I also offer a separate 30-Day Digital Diet Course to help you stop using your phone as a sleep aid, if this is your main concern. You can purchase it separately in the link just above, or get it included as a free bonus when you join with a 6-month membership.

Q: Will this help me if I have a high stress, busy job?

It'll help you especially if you have a busy job. Insomnia is a 24 hour problem that's often caused by under-managed daytime stress. We address this in Permission To Sleep.

Q: Will it work if I still have young kids who wake up sometimes in the night?

There will always be things in our lives that bring on periods of acute insomnia (a few nights here and there) - illness, death in the family, job loss or insecurity, relationship struggles and yes, having young children. While young children can definitely interfere with a planned sleep schedule, Permission To Sleep teaches you how to not let external factors interfere with longer term, quality sleep. And how to manage your thinking (and associated stress) around being woken when you don't want to be.

Q: I'm shy and I don't love the idea of group video coaching. Is this still for me?

Lots of women feel this way. You can absolutely attend calls and ask for coaching with your video turned off, or ask your questions in our membership community. I've got you covered! 1:1 coaching packages are also available to purchase once you're a member. Ask me if you can't find the link once you're inside!

Q: What if I'm already taking sleep medications or prescriptions?

I've worked with women who've weaned off their medications while doing the program, and others who chose to continue taking them (or because they were prescribed for different concerns). While you may decide you prefer not to continue taking supplements or sleep aids, it is not necessary to do this program completely "naturally". Check with your doctor first for a weaning schedule before trying this on your own in the program. I don't offer advice about weaning off prescription medications.

Q: I hate meditation and find it very hard to relax. Is this still appropriate for me?

This program teaches you how to use your brain to relax. But it doesn't rely just on "meditation", per se, unless you want it to. You'll be more successful if you come to the program with your mind open to trying new things, however. I'm also a mindfulness meditation teacher and can address some of your concerns about meditation within the program.

Q: I don't want to have to sleep according to a strict schedule. I like my freedom to decide when/where I to sleep.

My first question is: How's that working out for you? If you're truly not flexible on this, Permission To Sleep might not be for you. I completely understand wanting to live your life with fewer rules and restrictions. Unfortunately, your circadian rhythm doesn't understand this. And keeping that system consistent is a big part of sleeping successfully. So ask yourself: is maintaining your freedom to sleep whenever/wherever worth paying the insomnia price? Keep in mind I don't choose your sleep schedule for you. You choose it, but you'll sleep better if you find a way to keep it consistent.

Q: I've been diagnosed with a sleep disorder. Is this program for me?

Unfortunately, it's unlikely you'll have success in Permission To Sleep if you've been diagnosed with a circadian rhythm disorder, bipolar disorder, severe RLS, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, or if you have major unmanaged depression or anxiety, or a seizure disorder. Please check with your doctor or therapist before enrolling if you have a concern about whether your sleep issues are caused by a medical or psychological disorder. I am a coach, not a therapist or a medical professional. And as such, I don't offer diagnoses or treatments. This program is about undoing old, unhelpful habits, and creating new ones to support quality, restful sleep. As such, it's also not for you if you have a firm belief that you can't change your thoughts or beliefs, or that you have no control over your own results.
