REVERSING INSOMNIA PROGRAM
Are you emotionally drained from being physically tired night after night?
Do you ever get ready for bed only to have your mind start racing right before you almost fall asleep?
When you wake up in the middle of the night, do you have the frustrating experience of not being able to fall back to sleep easily?
Have you bought into a common belief that just because you’re a little older now, you can’t get good sleep? (That’s a myth by the way!)
Have you tried it all… sleep hygiene tips, the latest information on the internet, various over-the-counter and/or prescription sleep aids… and still not had success with curbing your insomnia?
And perhaps worse, can you feel yourself giving up on the possibility of ever sleeping well?
Please don’t give up! There’s intelligent, practical, research-validated help available. Research shows that CBT-I* (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) is extremely effective for reversing Insomnia even for those who have suffered with it for 10+ years.
If you’re ready to get better sleep, I’m inviting you to join me in the Reversing Insomnia Program.
SESSION DATES
4-week live online Reversing Insomnia Program
Wednesdays, October 27 – November 17

PROGRAM DETAILS
The Reversing Insomnia Program is an effective program to treat and reverse Insomnia – even if you haven’t slept well in years. During the Program you’ll learn the cutting-edge science behind good sleep; what current sleep research says regarding sleep habits that keep insomnia going; and specific tools to put Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) into practice for yourself.
If you think you’ve heard it all because you’ve studied sleep hygiene and have tried everything, the information and techniques in the Reversing Insomnia Program aren’t the same things you’ve already heard. Some of the things will even contradict what you’ve read.
During the Reversing Insomnia Program you will:
1. Learn about the science of sleep and the three major causes of chronic Insomnia
2. Be introduced to the three branches of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia: Homeostat/Sleep Drive, Circadian/Clock System, and Arousal (Cognitive & Conditioned)
3. Use Daily Sleep Logs to see what’s really going on with your sleep
4. Design a healthy sleep schedule using your Daily Sleep Logs to improve Sleep Efficiency (SE) and daytime functioning
5. Combine Stimulus Control and Time in Bed (TIB) Prescriptions as needed
6. Put the Buffer Zone into practice to lessen pre-sleep Cognitive Arousal
7. Learn the effective 3-Step Process to Reduce Cognitive Arousal
8. Learn evidence-based relaxation therapies including: Balanced Breathing, Mindfulness/Body Scan, Heart Lock-In, Gratitude Journal, and Restful Inversion
9. Modify inaccurate beliefs about sleep using cognitive techniques to decrease sleep-related anxiety
10. Use assessment tools to screen for sleep Apnea symptoms
All of these will help turn you into what researchers call:
Being a “Good Sleeper.”
It’s true that CBT-I is an effective, intelligent, practical, research-validated, evidence-based system. It’s also true that the techniques themselves are simple (i.e. not complicated) so anyone can learn them. But… as an honest disclaimer – there IS some bad news:
1. As effective as the Reversing Insomnia Program is, and as practical, scientifically validated, and doable as all the techniques are, investing in this Program (class or 1-1 coaching) – WILL NOT help you get better sleep UNLESS you put the CBT-I techniques that I show you into practice! Really.
2. If you join me in the Reversing Insomnia Program, I’m going to make you sleepier (and possibly annoyed with me too) for 2-3 weeks as you begin to put the techniques into action.
What??? Why would I do that to you?
Making you sleepier is by design, and you’ll learn the science behind WHY we would need to do that!
And then, when you get past what I call the “Sleep Boot Camp” period (some clients said I should re-name it the “No-Sleep Boot Camp” 😊), that’s when you’ll be able to:
- Feel your energy increase during the day
- Sleep more deeply at night, and
- Re-initiate sleep during the night if/when you awaken
You deserve to sleep well. AND YOU CAN!

I love this program because it’s really pragmatic and incredibly effective. I’ve witnessed client after client turn into “Good Sleepers” using these CBT-I tools. And that was when, at first, they were sure they had already “tried it all” with no success!
Actually, though, it makes sense that they would have success because CBT-I isn’t some marketing “secret” or magic pill. On the contrary, in 2016 the American College of Physicians even stated: “All adult patients should receive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, or CBT-I, as the first step in treating chronic insomnia.”
It’s a big deal when a medical organization suggests we try something before medications! And they are probably suggesting it because research shows these techniques are effective for both men and women, of all different ages, and even for those with long-term insomnia (10 years+).
WHO IS THIS PROGRAM FOR?
The Reversing Insomnia Program is best for those with moderate to severe insomnia.
I’ve found that any number 7 or greater means you may find the program very helpful. (If you score less than 7, you can still benefit, but more as a preventive measure to increase your understanding about how healthy sleep works.)
During the program, you will be asked to keep Daily Sleep Logs, use CBT-I techniques, and practice research validated Relaxation Therapies – all of which I will show you how to do.
You will learn evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I*) strategies. The point of the Reversing Insomnia Program is to target sleep-disruptive thoughts and behaviors, as well as sleep habits that keep insomnia going. Remember that the program tools – as you put them into practice – lead to:
- Feeling increased energy during the day
- Sleeping more deeply at night, and
- Re-initiating sleep after waking during the night
You…with better sleep. It’s a beautiful thing!
And it CAN happen by using the intelligent, evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia tools used in this Reversing Insomnia Program!
What is the investment for the Reversing Insomnia Program?
This 6-hour program (4 sessions x 90 minutes of instruction) is only $497.
However, if you enroll in the live 4-week online session by Sept. 15th, you get an early bird $100 discount and so your cost is only $397.
By the way, as much as I LOVE my program – because it’s really good and fabulously effective – and as much as I’d LOVE you to join me, please know this:
Follow your internal guidance about this (we never go wrong when we listen to that!). If my Program isn’t for you, that’s totally okay – but DON’T GIVE UP! Please go find another Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) program, or even get a book on it (CBT-I) and walk through it yourself! It takes some time and effort, but it’s really not magic or even a secret to use these techniques; and some books are already out there on CBT-I. Studies show it’s effective even to do that; they call it “bibliotherapy” (when we use books for learning self-help tools). How hilarious is it that they gave a name to it? Know you are allowed to get better sleep. Also know that it feels awesome to be a Good Sleeper!
Take good care and perhaps I’ll see you in my Reversing Insomnia Program!
