Sleep Better Naturally
Do you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep? Are you looking for a natural (drug-free) way to a better night's sleep?
Charlene Currie, Nurse Consultant offers a holistic approach to your sleep problem.
She says, “Sleep happens naturally when the conditions in the body, mind and environment are conductive to rest. Finding your way back to a restful sleep involves 1) identifying all the sources of sleep disturbance (and there may be more than you realize), 2) restoring balance and 3) establishing healthy sleep patterns”
Charlene is a registered nurse with a special interest in sleep. Charlene completed clinical training in Mind/Body Medicine from Harvard Medical School and has received training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI), mindfulness practices and coaching. She personally experienced insomnia around the time of menopause and struggled with it for four years. Charlene knows firsthand how difficult it can be and that a one size fits all approach does not work.
When working with clients she will:
- Assess the health, lifestyle, sleep habits and environmental factors that may be causing or contributing to poor sleep.
- Teach practices that lead to a restful sleep which may include:
- Evening routines to prepare the body and mind for sleep
- Bed time scheduling to enhance deep, restorative sleep
- Synchronizing circadian rhythms
- Reducing stress and hyper-arousal
- Dealing with a racing mind at night
- Nutrition and exercise practices that promote better health and better sleep
- Creating the condition in the bedroom for optimal sleep
- Assist clients to develop a plan for making positive health and lifestyle changes and coach them through the steps of their plan.
