29 | A journey to evidence-based sleep – With Georgina @georginamaysleep
RELEASED JUL 13, 2022
In this episode we are joined by Georgina @geroginamaysleep, an evidence-based sleep educator specialising in helping parents with very wakeful babies and toddlers. Georgina has a corporate business and marketing background and entered the ‘sleep world’ after her own experience trying to find and navigate conflicting sleep information when parenting her own very wakeful son. In this episode you’ll hear all about how Georgina utilised her research and business skillsets gathering and presenting evidence-based information:
– During her long conception journey through an endometriosis diagnosis
– To find a solution to her son’s frequent waking, which had caused her a debilitating level of sleep deprivation
– To help other parents with very wakeful children ensuring they have access to information, resources and genuine support.
