If you’re reading this, chances are that you're part of the huge number of exhausted, depleted, sleep deprived humans who are experiencing what some experts are calling "an insomnia epidemic." I can totally relate. To say "I get it" would be an understatement. I've battled insomnia for years. I've tried everything - seriously - EVERYTHING - in my attempts to sleep through the night like a "normal" person.

I’m neither a doctor nor a trained sleep specialist - although I have personally seen my share of both. What I am is a certified Life and Health Coach who has worked with countless people over the years and insomnia has been a common complaint for many. Whether you have problems falling asleep, staying asleep or both, chances are you’ll find something here to help you. Each of the things on this list has worked for me and my clients at one time or another. It’s my sincere hope that you find some thing or things that can be a magic bullet to help you slay your insomnia and get back to the business of sleeping and living.

I believe it’s important to find things that feel nourishing even if they have little or nothing at all to do with food. Nourishment can be about more than just the food we eat. Living a healthy lifestyle involves nourishing all your parts: body, mind and spirit.

Somewhere in the process of becoming "Mommy" I lost something fundamental: I lost contact with my Essential Self. I would catch glimpses of her from time to time but she was like a shadow, getting bigger when the light was right, taunting me with her elusive and mercurial appearance.
