The good news is: with an injection of knowledge and confidence, Most crisis can be prevented"

A guide to safeguarding working parents' sleep
1. Understand
Understand how children's lack of sleep impacts the lives of their parents both at home and at work. Understand what happens when sleep is restored.
2. Get curious
Read about the far reaching knock on effects that the restitution of decent sleep has on professionals' mental health, efficiency and engagement.
3. Identify your needs
The first step in supporting your workforce is to identity their needs, and understand what kind of support they would benefit from the most.
4. Get more sleep
The results have been brilliant and I’m thrilled to say I’m well rested and happy working full time with two children. When I first worked with Isabelle I was concerned that my new employer would see me as a complete failure because I was so tired. Isabelle understood my family’s needs and gave me brilliant advice and guidance. She has since helped me with my second child, gauging almost intuitively what the issue is and how it could be resolved. Thank you Isabelle!
Isabelle has a way of changing people's mindsets into one of positivity. She uses her creativity to come up with trouble shooting strategies, instilling confidence in others. Throughout, it has been a joy to work with Isabelle, she is so thoughtful, personable, professional and she really knows her stuff.
"Isabelle Edmondson is a wealth of information. I really enjoyed listening to her talk on school age children. She inspires trust through her extensive knowledge and experience in all matters surrounding sleep. She delivers her practical solutions and science-based evidence in a tangible and reassuring way. I only wish I could have met her and heard of her research years ago!"
Isabelle was fantastic and measured in her approach. She gave us the tools to enable us to take charge of our daughter's sleep routine and put systems in place to encourage her to sleep in her own bed without waking us up several times a night.
When our pre-schooler gets out of routine for whatever reason, we still revert back to these methods now. We would recommend her to EVERYONE!!
Work’s much easier now that we all sleep well. I no longer worry about my family when away from home any more. My wife and I are getting more quality time with our boy, as well as time to ourselves.
Thank you Isabelle for all your help! It’s been a revelation and there’s no doubt we
couldn’t have done it on our own, no matter how many books we’d read or how much friendly advice we’d listened too. You have a gift, and we’re so grateful for you
sharing it with us.
Putting yourself in a position where you get access to the kind of expertise that Isabelle has is worth its weight in GOLD! If I had had that kind of advice earlier, my first experience of having a baby would have been very different. Those months when I was sleep deprived and trying to hold a full time job were extremely difficult and it certainly gave me cause at various times to consider if I could continue my job. Isabelle Helped us very calmly to take control of the situation.

I highly recommend Isabelle to anyone who struggles with sleep problems. There are few other things I can think of that have improved my health by so much and so quickly. Within a week I was sleeping normally. I found Isabelle’s explanation about the technicalities of sleep really helpful and I had never understood this before. I felt Isabelle’s advice covered a lot of different areas: the science part of sleep, psychology and relaxation techniques.
