On this week's episode I am thrilled to have Dana from @Sleep Sense. She is the founder and CEO and the OG of paediatric sleep. Over 8 years ago I was very grateful to have found her and commenced my training to become a Sleep Sense Consultant and the rest is history.....
Dana began her private practice in Vancouver, Canada in 2003. After struggling with her own child's sleep, she drew on her dual degrees in Psychology and Education to create The Sleep Sense TM Program, a complete sleep resource for parents which has sold almost 130,000 copies in more than 30 countries.
She has been a featured speaker at major parenting trade shows, a frequent guest on radio and television programs, and her work has been highlighted on Good Morning America, CNN, Today's Parent, WebMD and The Washington Post, She has personally trained a global network of over 350 Certified Sleep SenseTM who help tired families around the World.
We had a wonderful conversation about all things sleep and how things have changed so drastically over the last 10 years.

The Parenting Collective
09/23/23 • 42 min
On this weeks episode I am super excited to share with you Emily from @consciousmothersgroup we have an awesome discusion about my other passion in life, conscious, connected parenting!

My gorgeous guest Emily is a mama of three to two boys and a girl, with a passion for conscious, gentle and respectful parenting.
She is a qualifed early childhood educator, but has stepped away from the system and moved towards a conscious, natural and un-schooling approach to education which led to the co- creation of We Are Nature Network.
Emily loves working with families who are ready to embrace a conscious parenting style and break the parenting cycle!
