Mhairi's story

Sleep Awareness

Mhairi

Community Nursery Nurse

I completed
Very interesting and full of relevant information. Well-paced, lovely presenter who encouraged us to contribute and share thoughts.

Sleep Awareness training gave Mhairi the confidence to integrate advanced sleep hygiene principles with emotional support. Resulting in children and families having consistent improved quality of sleep.

Why Mhairi trained with Sleep Action

  • Mhairi encountered a child whose severe separation anxiety emerged after a COVID lockdown
  • The nightly struggle to settle and the child’s insistence on sharing beds were clear signs that traditional sleep advice was not enough
  • Mhairi sought out specialised training to better address the deep emotional issues intertwined with the child’s sleep

How it transformed Mhairi's practice

Mhairi’s Sleep Awareness had a marked impact on her ability to provide sleep support that emphasises consistency and a calming sleep environment. By integrating advanced sleep hygiene principles with strategies for anxiety management, she has seen families experience clearer boundaries and improved quality of sleep.

With a newfound confidence in addressing childhood sleep, Mhairi now designs bespoke sleep plans that address both the physical environment and emotional needs of her service users.
