Are you worried about the impact of sleeplessness on your health, relationships and career? Are you wanting to get off sleeping medication (or avoid starting it in the first place), but worried you can't sleep without it?
I help adults who are on their umpteenth night of crappy sleep, heal their natural sleep mechanism and finally get consistent sleep again, usually in just 6-8 weeks.
[ Ready to get started right away? Book your first session or ask a question here: https://www.bodymindalliancecc.com/get-in-touch ]

Jocelyn Remmert Featured
I am a sleep psychologist specializing in helping moms fall asleep and stay asleep without medication.
Sleep problems can develop at any time in your life--especially during major transitions. Motherhood and being a woman is full of many changes that can cause sleep problems. Hormone changes, such as pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause all impact our sleep. Our life patterns and schedules shift too, whether it be the baby finally sleeping through the night (but we're wide awake, anxiously waiting for them to wake up), early morning school schedules, busy & stressful work weeks, late night sports practices, an empty house; every phase of life changes everything. The stress, anxiety, the shifts in routine, can all cause us to have disrupted sleep.
As a sleep psychologist I always ...

Sarah Kate McGowan Featured
I specialize in the treatment of insomnia, nightmares, circadian rhythm disorders, PAP adherence, and other sleep disorders that would benefit from a behavioral approach. Sleep difficulties are often overlooked and yet they undermine our mood, productivity, creativity, memory, and overall health. Whether you recently started having difficulty with sleep or it's been a long standing problem, there are highly effective treatments that do NOT involve the use of medications. In fact, if you are currently taking medications for sleep but would like to reduce or eliminate them, I can help. If anxious thoughts are interfering with your sleep, we can find ways to reduce the impact that anxiety has on your sleep.
With over a decade of experience, I help individuals reach their goals by adapting ...
