Everyday, I talk to women about their sleep. These are the themes that come up as we enter the middle passage…
“My sleep has changed. I don’t feel like it’s as deep as it used to be.”
“I get into bed exhausted and then lay there wide awake for hours!”
“I wake up in the middle of the night and can NOT turn off my whirling mind.”
“I’m waking up waaaaaay too early in the morning and can’t get back.”
“I’m sleeping 8 hours but still feel zonked when I wake up.”
“Having kids ruined my sleep.”
If falling asleep and staying asleep feels tricker, or you find yourself awake for the day about three hours before you want to be, it makes sense that you would start worrying about your sleep. You know how important sleep is - so it’s stressful when it’s not working. Many of the women I speak to worry they’ll never sleep well again.
You’ve heard that hormonal shifts around peri-menopause are part of this but it’s still a bit of a mystery as to how to navigate it all. Estrogen dominance? Hormone replacement therapy? Hot flashes?
Is there something you can do now, or do you just need to accept that your sleep is going to be crappy for a while?
After years of facilitating 1-on-1 support and groups for women, the themes start to stand out. It’s awesome. We’re different but we have a lot in common when it comes to our midlife shifts (changing priorities, boundaries, hormones) and how it affects our sleep.
“Our sleep is changing. Knowing what’s changing and why, and how to support these shifts (with real tools) so we can trust our sleep rather than worry about it – this is what we’re doing here.” - Catherine Wright

You are in mid-life (I’m loosely calling that anywhere between 38-60 years old). You know healthy sleep is the best medicine, now and as you age.
Your sleep is changing – falling asleep and staying asleep is getting harder.
You worry you are not getting enough sleep or that your sleep quality is crappy - you want to feel less cotton-headed and more energized during the day.
You’ve stopped trusting your natural sleep system and want to know how to do that again.
You find accountability and support useful when learning and integrating new habits - tending and mending in a supportive community is more fun and motivating for you.
Women are 2x more likely to bump up against sleep challenges compared to men. We are cyclical beings and our sleep is not static. We need tools to support our sleep that reflect the fluctuations we experience in our real lives.
We live in a culture that creates stressors that are unique to women. These stressors impact our physiology in ways that are also unique to us. If sleep tending is part of our wellness long-game, this needs to be part of the conversation.
I like to keep the group size under 15 people to allow for lots of participation.
I cap the group at 15 to allow time for some Q&A during the live coaching calls. I do my best to make space for a coaching opportunity for all. The FB group is also a venue for some more tailored support. Anyone who takes this course is welcome to work one : one with me afterwards.
Yes. There is no need to ditch sleep meds to experience the benefits of this program. As you gain more confidence in your natural ability to sleep, you may be able to taper off meds with the help of a physician, or replace them with natural supports.

I’m Catherine. I’ve been studying mind-body health since I was 20, and have practiced as a certified sleep consultant for the past decade. My soulful approach to sleep is evidence-based and integrates cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia, sleep science, mindset work, traditional Chinese medicine and embodiment. I love science, and I love the mystical. I believe when we heal our sleep we inevitably heal other areas of our lives too.
