 Maybe you’ve tried everything—medications, new routines, even the popular wellness tips—but nothing seems to stick.

An Evidence-Based Approach
Clinically proven, in independent research, conducted by Monash University, A Mindful Way to Healthy Sleep online program was evaluated in a world-first, randomised controlled trial (RCT) for a digital Mindfulness-based CBTi program,
The A Mindful Way to Healthy Sleep program was found to be significantly more effective at reducing insomnia than a waitlist control group.
On a standard measure of sleep, the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), 83% of people who completed the program achieved a clinical improvement in insomnia and 75% achieved a full remission of insomnia, and reported normal healthy sleep at the end of the study. Only 8% of the control group improved their sleep without treatment.
What people are saying about the online course A Mindful Way to Healthy Sleep
Olivia CozzolinoÂ
Giselle’s delivery style and guidance methodology really resonated with me. Through her videos she makes you feel as though you’re having 1:1 in-person guided sessions. She speaks slowly, calmly and clearly and uses very accessible language. I’ve tried other guided mindfulness meditations where the language is too philosophical and obscure for me, which has meant I’ve either not fully understood it, or I’ve had to devote too much energy to try and follow what is being said, defeating the whole purpose. Giselle uses simple language and I love that has a response for every barrier or defence one might put up when learning this new skill. She obviously speaks from both personal experience and deep expertise from working with a wide range of clients.....

The course taught me to slow down, to tune in to the signals my body is giving me, to be kind and patient to myself, and most importantly, to stop and make time for being, not just doing all the time. The course made me realise that one of the causes of my insomnia was due to stress levels and an intensity of living that had become my normal way of operating ..... I've experienced a marked reduction in my general stress levels and feel significantly calmer most of the time now. My partner has noticed this change in me as well.

This course helped with my sleeping problems immeasurably! I had struggled for years with insomnia and tried many things, but completing this course was the first time I've had tangible and ongoing success. My mindset around sleep has changed such a lot and I have also enjoyed bringing more mindful meditation into my days for general wellbeing. This course is totally worth it if you are motivated and willing to make changes. Thank you so much to Giselle and "a mindful way" training. It's been life-changing for me!
