Ep 22 Mum & Bub Holistic Sleep Strategies with Georgina from the Holistic Sleep Project

In this week's episode we have the knowledgeable Georgina from The Holistic Sleep Project! 💤🤩 Georgina is a Holistic Sleep Consultant, Qualified Naturopath and Mother. Her interest in sleep was born out of her own sleep issues and the tragedy of her own mother dying when she was just 13 weeks pregnant with her son. In order to preserve her own wellbeing and mental health in the 4th trimester, Georgina actively prioritised her baby’s sleep and it paid off! He has been a dynamite sleeper ever since! Her baby was essentially her first client! 👼🏻 From there Georgina studied an International Holistic Sleep Qualification while her son was taking his day nap and together with her Naturopathy background created her own uniquely holistic and gradual method to help babies and toddlers get more sleep which in turn completely transforms the family dynamic and positively alters the experience new parents have as their babies are completely well rested and so are they as parents. She has her own podcast “The Holistic Baby and Toddler Podcast”, consults with families on a 1:1 basis, has a membership “The Sleep Collective” and recently has become a Finalist in 4 International business and Health/Wellbeing Award Categories in the Women Changing the World Awards announced in London during May 2024.
