I never thought I’d be anything other than a teacher. I never thought I’d study again, or ever own my own business. But here we are!

I never thought I’d be anything other than a teacher. I never thought I’d study again, or ever own my own business. But here we are! 

After having my son in 2022 I knew I wasn’t ready to return to teaching. It had me thinking about something new, something different - I just had no idea what! 

As a new mum, I struggled with my son's sleep and ended up reaching out for help, to no other than Jazz! It was her kind and gentle approach to support that kept us in contact over the years. 

My turning point was when I returned to teaching casually and realised I didn’t want to have to miss out on raising my son because of work. I wanted the flexibility to be at home and still make a liveable income. I wanted to be able to do childcare pick up and drop off without rushing to and from work. Thinking into the future, I wanted to be able to pick my son up from school and be able to take him to his after school activities. I want to be more present for his childhood. 

Once Jazz and Amy announced their new adventure, Beyond Sleep School, I knew it was the calling I was waiting for. 

Fast forward to February 2024 and Beyond Sleep School’s first course had begun. Teaching three days a week, looking after a two year old, a house and facing health issues, I wasn’t sure how I was going to manage! Jazz and Amy’s course is so flexible and accommodating to those who are time poor - as I was. With no set deadlines for modules and assessments or when to begin working with volunteers it meant that I could get through the content at my own pace. 

Feeling confident in completing the course as the rollercoaster of my life continued, proved to me that this was the right choice, this was the calling I had been waiting for. Making the change from what you know, from your safety net is hard and scary. But doing so with the support of these two amazing women and the community that is Beyond Sleep School makes all the fear worth it! 

Since graduating in July of 2024, I have launched my own business, DreamWell Sleep Coaching and am loving supporting my clients and their families.
