Sleep optimisation training

Evidence-based training in person in Greater Wellington, online, and beyond

Stop counting sheep and start controlling your sleep. Your personalised one-on-one training teaches you proven, science-backed breathing techniques to calm your nervous system, allowing you to fall asleep faster, sleep more deeply, and wake up genuinely refreshed. We address the root cause of restless nights, not just the symptoms.

Breathe your way to deep, restorative sleep

The foundation of quality sleep is a calm, regulated nervous system and efficient nasal breathing. This training focuses on correcting the physiological barriers that prevent you from achieving deep rest:

  • Harnessing the vagus nerve: Learn specific breathing techniques that activate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest) to quickly switch off the 'wake' signals in your brain.

  • Controlling the mind-racing: Use breath focus as an anchor to quiet intrusive thoughts and overcome pre-sleep anxiety.

  • Optimising nasal breathing: Training to ensure your primary airway is open and functional, which is vital for reducing snoring and improving oxygen flow during the night.

  • Enhancing sleep quality: Improve your body's tolerance to carbon dioxide to maintain stable, deep breathing patterns throughout the sleep cycle.

Beyond breathing: comprehensive cleep hygiene review

Breathing is the core, but external factors matter. Your session includes a personalised review to eliminate environmental and behavioural barriers to great sleep:

  • Personalised sleep schedule audit: We review your current wake/sleep times, naps, and chronotype to find the ideal rhythm for your body.

  • Environmental optimisation: Guidance on light, temperature, and sound, setup for a sanctuary effect.

  • Pre-sleep routine creation: Establishing powerful evening habits that signal to your body it's time to wind down and rest.

  • Addressing common sleep disruptors: We review lifestyle factors like caffeine, exercise timing, and screen exposure to eliminate subtle sleep saboteurs.

Essential review of sleep-disordered breathing

While we do not diagnose medical conditions, your training includes a focused review of physical issues that may be interrupting your sleep:

  • Snoring & heavy breathing: Practical, targeted breathing exercises to reduce nasal congestion and strengthen upper airway muscles to lessen or eliminate snoring.

  • Signs of sleep apnea: Discussing symptoms and providing recommendations for when medical investigation (e.g., a sleep study) might be necessary.

  • Tongue posture during sleep: Coaching on maintaining the ideal tongue and jaw position to keep the airway open.

  • Struggling to fall asleep: Individuals who regularly take 30+ minutes to drift off.
