WASHINGTON, Feb. 4,
2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The next Gentle Sleep
Coach® online certification training program hosted by
world-leading children's sleep coach, 'The Sleep Lady®' returns.
Aligned with her gentle sleep philosophy, the program welcomes
aspiring sleep coaches to participate in evidence-based teachings,
and receive ongoing mentorship and additional support in key
business areas such as marketing and public relations.
A Gentle Sleep Coach uses proven strategies to improve a baby or
child's sleep while fostering a healthy parent and child attachment
and bond. Depending on existing patterns and needs, the coach will
customize the best sleep coaching plan for the child and parent,
taking a gentle, respectful, and inclusive approach.
The 90+hour Gentle Sleep Coach Certification includes classes on
world-recognized methods such as 'The Sleep Lady Shuffle ℠ which is
outlined in her book The Sleep Lady's Good Night, Sleep Tight. And
now her Baby-Led Sleep Shaping and Coaching ℠ approach for babies
0-5 months old', taken from her upcoming book The Sleep Lady's
Gentle Newborn Sleep Guide. Students also work with three pro bono
clients to gain real-life experience and must take two exams to
help them prepare to launch their own businesses. Yearly continued
education is required to maintain active certification.
The program also includes a faculty panel, composed of experts
like Shoshana Bennett, Ph.D. (Dr.
Shosh), Lewis J. Kass, MD:
Yale-trained, board-certified Pediatric
Pulmonologist and sleep medicine expert, Anthony Loizides, MD: pediatric
gastroenterologist, Yale and
Harvard trained, and Lindsey Biel, OTR/L: Pediatric Occupational
Therapist.
"After training sleep coaches for more than a decade, so many other
programs have come on the market. As a family therapist and the
originator of the only gentle proven sleep coaching method, I
believe that it is critical for families to work with coaches who
are trained in a program with a faculty panel, ongoing mentorship,
and long-lasting credibility." Kim
