Thriving with Capella

Our Sleep Counsellor was absolutely amazing she helped us through the toughest time. Walked us through every step and we couldn't have reached this point without her support.
I will take this opportunity to say that I am generally only interested in Sleep Action training as I can be confident in the quality of the training and I was trained by Sleep Scotland about 15 years ago, so I have been an advocate for a long time. Excellent training, well done and thank you to all.
The advice and tips we received from the Sleep Advisor has completely changed our evenings and for the better! After almost 4 years of struggling at bedtime it is such a relief to not be dreading it and to actually enjoy the evening and enjoy putting my child to bed and knowing that they won’t be up multiple times through the night. It was quite a difficult transition for us to begin with in breaking our old habits and routines but it has been 1000% worth it; we are all so much happier, sleeping so much better and we all know exactly what comes next and what the expectations of the evening are. I only wish I had known about Sleep Action sooner!
This has been one of the most beneficial training packages I have attended. The course leaders have been warm and very enthusiastic about sleep. They have listened and answered queries and backed by the science. Thank you very much.
Have really enjoyed this course and enjoyed this session to discuss my case and get feedback and ideas.
It was wonderful to have input that gives students the tools to dramatically improve their lives.
We have really appreciated the help and support from the Sleep Counsellor. She offered non judgmental and practical advice.
Just to say, thank you so much for the mentor model. I finally used it for some p7 children. They were brilliant at learning and delivering this. Sleep improved, friendships were made within the group and confidence built.
I have twins that could not settle or stay asleep. I was losing my mind. My Sleep Counsellor was comforting and always confident that she had techniques that could help. She really is magic. I worked with [her] on the phone every few weeks for over a year, and I can truly say how worth it it was. I now have kids that can settle to sleep within 20 minutes, can unbelievably sometimes sleep through the night and are now at a much more age-appropriate stage with sleep. I’ve struggled myself with sleep my whole life, and I feel like [my SC] gave them this beautiful gift of learning how to settle and sleep. I’ve regained my sanity, and even feel like I could go back to work again now that I get sleep at night. It has meant so much to our family.
Very beneficial and a good range of staff from different services.
Sleep Action has helped us a lot, we are still in the midst of putting everything into practice and for it all to be working but small steps at a time we are slowly starting to see small changes with [our daughter] & her sleep.
This whole training session has been invaluable and so useful for us in practice. The main thing I'm taking away is to keep applying a sensory lens while talking to families - especially during the sleep assessment phase.
I loved the sessions, they were very interactive and it was helpful to listen to other professionals experiences.
