The Holistic Baby and Toddler Sleep Podcast

In this episode, Trish (mum of James, 16 months old) candidly shares what sleep was like for her and her family up until her child was 16 months old. Her intuition told her this wasn't the way it was supposed to be, and that she should be getting more sleep now that her child was getting older. Her mental health was suffering, as well as her connection with her beautiful baby boy and her relationship.She explains the final straw that led her to reach out, why she connected with The Holistic Sleep Project's philosophy, and how the entire process was for her and her child. In Trish's own words, this sleep transformation has completely changed her life!Listen to her story here.Your links:Resonate with Trish's story and how she was feeling before she sought support?

Feel like you're being consistent with your child's bedtime? Feel like you respond the same way every single time your child wakes? Feel like you put them down for naps at the same time every day and they sleep for the same duration each time?In this episode, I pose some key questions to determine if you're truly being consistent with your child's sleep, or how consistent. If we aren't consistent with our child's sleep (and everything related to it!), we can create confusion and often overstimulation, which isn't helpful for fostering more sleep.This episode explores at least three ways to start building more consistency, improve your child's day and night sleep through routine, and offers several methods of support if you're struggling to achieve this on your own!Listen and learn how to become more consistent here!Your Links: Grab your Ultimate Sleep and Feeding Guide: Routines from birth to 3 years old here!

In this episode, we explore the notion of putting a baby gate on your child's bedroom door in an attempt to get more sleep as we prevent them from getting out of their bedroom. Parents often make big bold and sometimes drastic changes in an attempt to have their child sleep for longer or in this case not leave their room overnight. However, I see putting a baby gate on as a last result. Why? This is broken down for you in this episode as I explain what else needs to come first to fix the issue of your child leaving their bedroom overnight and why you are experiencing this in your home. In addition, a few scenarios are explained through the episode so you can see how to present this bold move and still get the sleep you and your child are looking for! Your Links and Resources:Looking for sleep solutions and to be part of a supportive and non-judgmental group?

Have you been or thinking of going to sleep school? You have probably heard about many experiences of parents who have been. There are many successful stories but on a daily basis we hear traumatic and unsuccessful experiences which leads us to question why this may be the case. On this episode, we dive into 7 key issues around this model and why families end up reaching out for support in a 1:1 capacity despite going to these environments as they chase better sleep for their children. This episode, addresses the notion that sleep school is not a holistic approach which means there are so many elements that are missed,  there is a lack of ongoing education or long term success, what working on sleep in a different environment to your own house means and that jumping to a technique instead of ticking off all the building blocks to sleep will mean your child still isn't getting the sleep they require. By employing a holistic approach to sleep, it means each variable is addressed and THEN when you undertake a sleep technique it is smooth and creates little distress. Listen here to the 7 key issues with this model and then make your own decision about how you want to tackle your child's sleep issues! LINKSWant your own Complete Sleep Transformation?

This episode is Georgina's story of supporting her child to create excellent sleep habits which ultimately came together to create a young baby who sleeps through the night. Yes, this happened early on. How? In this episode Georgina shares why she was so focused on a proactive approach to her baby's sleep because of the traumatic events that had occurred in her pregnancy as well as concern for her  emotional and mental wellbeing as a parent with no hands on support during the long days with a newborn after these traumatic events. She also shares this story so listeners can hear a positive story of how we can encourage babies to sleep well from the onset. There is understanding and empathy that is given to families who are struggling with sleep, equally there is negativity given to the parents that have "good sleepers". There are no good or bad sleepers! Every child has the capacity to sleep well we just need to encourage this process. So it is important we hear stories of babies who sleep beautifully and what the parents did to get their children to this place, so all of the families listening can get more sleep for their families!

A lot about grief, sleep and nutrition. But it has evolved into a lot more! It is also about why The Holistic Sleep Project framework is unique and effective. It is about upholding strong business ethics and ensuring the long-term success of the families we work with. It is about breaking down the stigma attached to sleep work and showing how remarkable it can be without distress for you or you baby.  This podcast is also about sharing different modalities of holistic health that may support yourself or your children. It is about encouraging listeners to think outside the square. This podcast is now recognized Nationally as the second-best podcast in Australian among mothers who are entrepreneurs.

Each time a family comes across a sleep challenge with their little one it is natural to make a change to try and fix it. There may be smaller changes that you make in an attempt to fix the sleep issue. But after days, weeks or months without any resolution, sometimes a family will make a bold, big change. And sometimes this isn't the right approach because it doesn't solve the problem or makes their child's sleep challenges worse! In this 5 minute Express Sleep Tip Episode, we break down the 3 elements you want to consider before dropping the nap completely. We also explore The Holistic Sleep Project's perspective of gradual transitions instead of dramatic changes which can be abrupt and distressing for babies and toddlers causing unnecessary emotional upset for them. If your child is 2 years plus, make sure to listen to this ep! RESOURCES:Want a smooth “Dropping the Nap” transition?

My podcast, The Holistic Baby and Toddler Sleep Podcast, is a finalist for Podcast of the Year at the @ausmumpreneur Awards this week! I'm also honoured to be in the running for the Overcoming the Odds award.Over the past two years, I've poured my heart into creating this podcast, sharing the stories of sleepless families who have experienced my epic sleep transformations, and providing knowledge and support to families seeking holistic, long-term solutions for better sleep—for both their little ones and themselves.

Why Cry it out is not the solution!Whether a family has to endure tears while changing their child's sleep is a hot topic among sleep-deprived families. Parents commonly ask: Will there be tears? How much crying? I don't want to do Cry it Out!In this episode, we explore why these cry-based solutions don't work and create unnecessary stress for both parents and children. We discuss common beliefs and why this approach is flawed. We also compare and contrast it to The Holistic Sleep Project model, which includes much more in its gradual and effective approach to sleep.This episode has been a long time coming, and we hope it changes your overall mindset about what sleep work is and how it can be effective, gradual, and mean minimal tears for your child while you get way more sleep for your family!Listen and learn here!Links & Resources:Start your Sleep Transformation for your family here!

Jess worked with 3 other Sleep Consultant and STILL wasn't getting any sleep! This is a captivating story from a mother who had strong instincts that her baby should have been getting more sleep than he was, even though professionals were telling her baby was just "stubborn". Jess was experiencing all the aspects of sleep challenges with her little one including catnapping and night waking. And despite attempting to co sleeping as a solution which according to those around her "should" have been creating more sleep for Noah, this was not the case. She still wasnt getting long stretches of sleep in the day or night, her child was grizzly and tired and she was completely exhausted. Jess expresses so eloquently how Georgina's work, personality and strategy is incredibly different and pin points how this all comes together to create a complete sleep transformation and DOES mean your baby will sleep through the night!

This podcast episode is raw and real as Rhiannon (mother of River-Rose) shares the impact of 18 months of sleep deprivation. Her little one was waking 14 x a night and always needing support to get back to sleep.  They were co sleeping which wasn't inducing any more sleep. Her mental health was taking a diabolical turn, her relationship was suffering, her child wasn't thriving emotionally or developmentally, and it all seemed impossible to resolve. We talk about her prior experience working with a sleep consultant, how she found The Holistic Sleep Project differed, how the level of support was pivotal in the change she and her daughter needed and she shares River's unbelievable sleep transformation! She also talks about the role Georgina plays in ongoing support for her family as they navigate sleep into the future for River.Listen to this raw episode here! ·       Trigger Warning for suicide, postnatal depression and post-depression anxiety.Links:Rhiannon's sleep transformation was through the Sleep Saviour 2 week Package.

I won!!! I received an International Business Award at Women Changing the World awards for Woman in Health and Wellbeing! Not only have I spent the past 25 years in health and wellness as a Naturopath, but I have also spent the past 5 years creating transformations in the lives of the children and their families I work with. Sleep is underestimated, it is under acknowledged in our wellbeing and for its importance in our everyday lives as parents and for our children's development.I shared this conference room in London with incredibly successful powerhouse women who are making change in all areas of the globe and areas within society.  They are mothers and they are businesswomen, they want to make a difference in the world, and they are. I feel the difference I make, and so do the families I support, is immeasurable, transformative and miraculous. Now, I have been acknowledged for these efforts and in this episode, I share the experience in London, sacrifice it took for me to go overseas and for the blood, sweat and tears it has taken to get here over the past few years!I hope you enjoy this episode and share with me in this award as part of the incredible community of families with The Holistic Sleep Project who are now experiencing life changing sleep for their families.LinksCheck out more photos from the Gala Dinner at Women Changing the Awards on our Instagram https://www.instagram.com/theholisticsleepprojectIf you would like to be one of the next families to have a sleep transformation, check out the sleep packages at Sleep Solution Packages https://www.theholisticsleepproject.com/sleep-solutionsOr book your Complimentary 30 min Discovery Call to get chatting about your sleep transformation at https://www.theholisticsleepproject.com/ If you want to learn how you can be part of our membership-The Sleep Collective and get sleep support and be part of this awesome community, head to https://www.theholisticsleepproject.com/the-sleep-collective  

Megan has struggled with her little one Sasha pretty much since she was born. Only able to achieve 15-20 min naps during the day, feeling like a failure and unable to get her to have long naps, trying all the strategies and products her friends suggested and ultimately ending up co-sleeping which also didn't help either and just left her partner and her feeling completely exhausted.We worked together when Sasha was 5 months and completely transformed the sleep of Sasha and the whole family and now at 18 months I have continued to support her family within the membership - The Sleep Collective. She shares with us the judgement and feeling of failing she felt before getting in touch with The Holistic Sleep Project and how the transformation has completely altered the functionality of her family and now, they can live with complete flexibility and ease.Links: Join me and Megan at The Sleep Collective for sleep and group support https://www.theholisticsleeprpoject.com/ the-sleep-collective Check out our 1:1 series of sleep support here   https://www.theholisticsleepproject.com/sleep-solutions Not sure which package is for you?

Looking after babies and toddlers is EXHAUSTING! And it is definitely the way that we prioritize them (as we should) but we so often let our wellbeing drop to the bottom of the pile of things to do in our busy lives. Supporting our nutrition is one of the biggest areas which we as parents dont support ourselves. Yet, it is crucial that we do prioritize ourselves and eat well so we as mothers1) have the energy to feed our babies 2) energy to play with our children 3) do all the things in the home and for our children that we are required and want to do! Spend just 5 minutes listening to this Express Episode as an excellent reminder for HOW to look after your nutrition in your busy day and why this is important.

Ellen is a qualified Naturopath, living on the Sunshine Coast in QLD and running an online clinic offering personalised support to women with hormonal issues and couples wanting to fall pregnant through 1 on 1 consultations and comprehensive online courses.Ellen's holistic approach to fertility has facilitated numerous success stories worldwide, helping couples who have faced multiple miscarriages, unexplained infertility diagnoses, age-related fertility concerns, and those seeking alternatives before going down the IVF route.With a special interest in women's hormonal conditions and fertility, she investigates thoroughly through comprehensive testing, employs the fertility awareness method, herbal medicine, nutrient therapies, and nervous system regulation to help couples overcome various challenges. Ellen and I had the most informative and honest chat about her work around fertility in what she calls the “middle bit”, the area between trying for a baby without success and heading to the mind field that is IVF. There are SO many areas within the male and female physiology that can be addressed Naturopathically for improvement to sperm and egg quality which can then lead to successful conception. We talk about the difference between the medical mainstream fertility testing vs the vast array of integrative testing Naturopaths can do for a couple who is trying to conceive and the elements of our health that may be contributing to this issue.We also talked about the notion of not just getting pregnant but how important it is to conceive a healthy baby, hold it to term and have a positive birth experience.This is a very informative conversation and at times emotional as we talk about the difficulty of getting pregnant and how difficult it can be for some couples.After listening to this podcast episode, you will have a new insight to your fertility and feel empowered to understand how much you can do to support yourself and your partner to conceive without necessarily going down the path of IVF (or to support the process of IVF).*TRIGGER WARNINGWe discussed baby loss, miscarriage, medical termination and other topics such as secondary infertility and unexplained infertility. LinksFollow Ellen over on Instagram at www.instagram.com/ellennaturopathHer website is https://ellenlouisenaturopath.com/ Ellen's Natural Fertility Online course is at https://ellenlouisenaturopath.com/natural-fertility-course If you already have a child and are looking for sleep support check out the array of Sleep Support options at https://www.theholisticsleepproject/sleep-solutions

If you suspect your baby has reflux, colic or an allergy or has been given one of those diagnosis this episode is for YOU! If you feel that despite the professional advice you have been given, something is just not right with your baby, listen to this incredible episode created just for you..Aine Homer is “The Baby Reflux Lady!”Áine is the mum of two girls who between them had diagnoses of colic, reflux, silent reflux, CMPA, and multiple other food intolerances and allergies. Coupled with a three year relationship with postnatal depression, left her feeling lost, alone and like she didn't even know who she was anymore. During that time, her instinct was to always listen to her babies, even though she wasn't naturally maternal and so she never accepted the explanations that the healthcare professionals offered. Her daughters WERE in pain and there HAD to be a reason.With a background in mechanical engineering, maths and then retraining in 2012 in Traditional Chinese Medicine, she believed that there was one question which would unlock the answers for her babies. that is still the same question she supports her clients around the world to answer for these children. And that is “What is causing your baby's distress?” No matter what is going on for them.Aine has a truly unique and holistic view of treating reflux. Her perspective is all about getting to the root cause rather than just masking symptoms. She challenges the way medical professionals currently address conditions such as colic, reflux and allergies. On a daily basis, she sees families experiencing “medical gas lighting” and unsatisfactory results from the medical interventions.  In her work in this niche area, she validates families, acknowledges what they are experiencing and gives answers based on the presentation of their child as an individual. Just like The Holistic Sleep Project, she gives a unique and truly holistic perspective to the families she works with who are struggling. It was such an honour to chat to Aine as a fellow Holistic Practitioner both working in the space of parenthood support.  If you suspect or have been given a diagnosis for any of these conditions for your child, this is an absolute MUST listen, as it will totally change the way you view your situation and how you can move forward to getting your child out of the pain they are experiencing.  Links for Aine: Website: https://www.thebabyrefluxlady.co.uk/Free symptoms tracker https://www.thebabyrefluxlady.co.uk/symptomsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/babyrefluxladyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thebabyrefluxlady Sleep Support Links  For your FREE Guide- “Learn the 5 Secrets to help your little one stay in bed until 7am!” head tohttps://www.theholisticsleepproject.com/early-rising-guide For further sleep support and to kick off 2024 feeling well rested why not start with a 30 min complimentary Discovery Call so Georgina can hear about YOUR individual sleep challenges and help your family get more sleep  https://calendly.com/gwindebank/30-minute-discovery-call To check out the Sleep Support Packages head to https://www.theholisticsleepproject.com/sleep-solutions

Stephanie Woodhouse is a physiotherapist based in Melbourne, Australia.  She completed her undergraduate study in 2010 and immediately started work in private practice. From there she went on to complete her Post Graduate Certificate and then Masters in Sports Physiotherapy. She has worked in various elite sports since 2013, many of which have taken her around the world traveling with Australian teams. But, there is another side to her story. She suffered from glandular fever twice during her school years and never really recovered from the second bout and it developed into chronic fatigue syndrome. Over the following 10 years there were some relapses and an additional diagnosis of adrenal fatigue. After development of some new symptoms she was diagnosed with a Chiari Malformation and underwent decompression surgery (brain surgery) late 2018.Working in the health industry whilst also suffering from a number of health concerns has given her an interesting, and in some ways, unique perspective. She has gained a lot of knowledge and has accessed a lot of resources that have allowed her to navigate her journey a little easier. She is also a mumma to Romy who has just turned 1. Initially things were going well with Romy's sleep but soon she found her little one was waking 11x overnight which meant she was too, and her partner ended up sleeping in the spare room! She knew she needed support but never resonated with the CC or CIO approaches. Referred by a friend she embarked on a beautiful journey of personal growth and sleep transformation which she was very keen on sharing with other mummas. During this podcast episode we discuss not only her entire family's sleep transformation but how important it was to undertake a philosophy that was in line with her beliefs such as co regulation and having a long term approach as well as resolving the immediate issues at hand. She discusses the sleep transformation we embarked upon, to be not only about sleep but intense personal growth and overcoming feelings of guilt, judgement and anxiety she experienced as she considered reaching out for support.  She describes her sleep transformation to be “more transformative than birth”. This is an incredible episode which is sure to change your perspective of what it is like to do sleep work with this unique and truly holistic method at The Holistic Sleep Project. Listen to Steph's professional take on sleep work and her personal story here.  LINKS Book your 30 min Discovery Call just like Steph did to take the first step to YOUR sleep transformation https://calendly.com/gwindebank/30-minute-discovery-call?month=2023-11Hear Steph's LIVE via Instagram that was discussed through this podcast ep at https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzZ4pysPIS2/?igshid=bTJ3ZTJmaGd3aTVI Grab your Free Catnapping Guide at https://www.theholisticsleepproject.comCheck out our membership The Sleep Collective at https://www.theholisticsleepproject.com/the-sleep-collective

Once your little one transitions into their big bed it is a total game changer! For many families- for the worst! Once their children realise they can get out of their own beds it can cause sleepless nights for your child as well as confusion and exhaustion for parents.

Today on the podcast I chat with The Paediatric Naturopath-Lisa Moane about all things fussy eating! Lisa is a wealth of knowledge as a Paediatric Naturopath, Food Scientist and Feeding Therapist. This interview delves into WHY children can be fussy with their eating, which symptoms and medical conditions are related to fussy eating.  Lisa's holistic approach means she treats not just the “fussy eating” habits but also any underlying medical presentation of her young patients. We talk about the relationship between eating and sleep, the importance of having boundaries around food and how we can encourage positive eating experiences for mealtimes rather than having mealtime be stressful and anxiety provoking with your little one's! This is a must listen if you have begun solids with your baby or are having eating challenges with your baby/ toddler or don't want to have this become an issue in the future!  You can find Lisa at https://www.thepaediatricnaturopath.com.auhttps://www.instagram.com/thepaediatricnaturopathGrab the Toddler Sleep Solutions Masterclass and learn how to address Fussy Eating issues with your toddler https://www.theholisticsleepproject.com/offers/6zM2y5HD/checkoutExperiencing Early Rising?

As part of “The Holistic Baby and Toddler Sleep Podcast” I will be discussing foundations of sleep. Why are these important?Because if you don't have the foundation right, your building will fall down! Aka if your sleep principles and foundations are not set up optimally, baby's sleep will de rail. Yes! I'll reach you tips and tricks but I'm very invested in TEACHING and empowering you with skills and knowledge that will LAST you through the duration of your child's life and sleep needs. One of these first foundations and the concept that is explored in Episode 1 is understanding change. “Why accepting change is crucial to understanding your child's sleep needs”Often I meet clients who get comfortable and therefore resistance to changes in their child's sleep needs. You might be on a certain nap schedule or be used to a certain bedtime and the thought of changing these elements of your child's sleep is less than appealing! Change is INEVITABLE and necessary, ESPECIALLY when it comes to meeting our children's sleep requirements. This episode discusses all things “change” and the 5 common times that you as a parent can expect your child's sleep needs to change. AND why this is part of the best approach to your child's ever changing sleep needs!After listening to Episode 1 head to the links below for more info and sleep and nutrition support.
