As a health professional with expertise in sleep health, integrative cancer care, chronic illness, and spirituality, she has dedicated her work to helping people like you recover from illness and regain abundant energy for a full life.

The Sleep Well Tonight Method contains the exact techniques Chris used to personally recover from seven years of debilitating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Fibromyalgia (FM). Since then, she has shared her learning and expertise to help thousands improve their sleep and vitality.

Hi.  It’s Chris here.  I want to tell you more about the program I designed just for you; my soul mates who are struggling with pain, fatigue, mental fogginess, lethargy, forgetfulness, impatience, and other symptoms of poor sleep that block you from living the full, energetic days that you want.

Yes, you read that correctly. I can help you achieve get a more refreshing sleep as early as your first night using three simple skills.

Does it sound too good to be true?

You may be thinking, “If only it were that easy….”

From someone who’s been in your shoes, believe me – it can be!

Sleep is greatly misunderstood and underappreciated.  It is not an expendable luxury, but is absolutely critical to your quality of life.

Prioritizing your relationship with sleep will positively impact all other areas of your life.  

You put energy in the bank when you get a good night’s sleep.  The time is likely just right for you – no matter what other health or life issues you are dealing with.

Even one hour per night less sleep on a consistent basis adds up to a very high cost.

You may even feel that you are coping well, and be unaware that with small improvements in your sleep, you would feel so much better!  Studies show that people with sleep loss perform poorly on concentration and memory tests, but report that they feel no deficits in their thinking.  There are many unrecognized, lasting costs that we pay for sleep loss.

The upside of making a change now is clear too, feeling in control of your health and rededicating your energy to being the best of yourself!

No matter what health improvement you are seeking, improving your sleep will amplify the results of your other healthy choices.

Here’s what you can look forward to.  Improving your sleep will:

The Sleep Well Tonight Method includes the very same sleep-improving skills and techniques that lifted me out of debilitating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) after seven and a half years.

I am sincerely concerned for you if you are suffering from insomnia, because I know from experience that it will likely lead to complex health issues in your future.  In my consulting practice, I see this again and again.

I fully recovered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Fibromyalgia (FM), and feel so privileged to have had that experience because it has brought me to where I am today.

At the time, and for the next torturous 7.5 years, I suffered with severe symptoms, many like those you may be experiencing.   I despaired, thinking that I might never recover the life I loved, and wondered how I would manage in such a dreary future. I missed my work, my sports, my relationships, my hobbies, and my life!

I was so despondent.  There were moments when I wanted to seriously give up.

My pain was so excruciating that I wanted to scream.  I had to avoid my favourite foods due to severe food allergies, I couldn’t do my favourite activities (dance, ski, run), and I couldn’t even hold a book to read.

My friends, puzzled over the changes they saw, asked themselves, “What happened to the Chris we knew?”  I had been a well-known health professional in cardiac care and rehabilitation.  And I had been a competitive athlete. My status and image had been shattered.

It didn’t make sense to me.  I had never been ill before, and had barely taken as much as an aspirin over my first 38 years. So, I researched everything about my illness.

I tried every therapy, met with every specialist and practitioner, and tried every supplement and medication that might help. I did everything in my power to feel better and to regain some of the life I had lost. I was determined to recover.

I struggled with the fatigue, the pain, and my hopelessness. And it’s hard to be open about this part, but I was embarrassed to be sick.  I thought it meant that I was “less than” or that something was deeply wrong with me.  I felt like a failure, letting down my family, loved ones, friends and colleagues.

Then, intrigued with the gradual improvement I was starting to feel, and being a skilled investigator into evidence-based medical practices and therapies, I began to scour the research on these gentle therapies, eventually leading me to conduct my own research and completing my PhD in Energy Medicine and Integrative Healthcare.

With dedicated daily practice of these gentle therapies, my sleep started to improve.  It was almost imperceptible, but with my heightened awareness of my own behaviours and thoughts, I started to progress towards recovery.  It took about one year.

Can you believe that I recovered from ALL symptoms of CFS/FM within one year?  Slowly, very slowly, I recovered to full health.  Today, I am again thriving and participating in competitive sports and activities that I love.

I credit my full recovery to these three simple techniques.  Through them, I changed my thoughts and I changed my behaviours. I feel so lucky to have found a way to get better.  So many with ME/CFS and FM continue to suffer.

My illness experience, coupled with my 35 years as a healthcare professional assisting others with chronic illness, revealed a huge gap in the current paradigm of healthcare.  Our society underestimates the important role that sleep plays in our daily health.  It is now my mission to address the largely unrecognized need for education and management of underlying sleep dysfunction that is present for so many struggling with illness.

I approach health from an integrated, spiritual and complementary care perspective.  My focus is to help you feel well, and also to ease the strain that chronic illness places on our healthcare systems, which are overloaded and misused.  I work to help you bring forth your own strengths and gifts in the healing process, so that you manage your health from a confident place.

How good do you want to feel?  What would you do with your boosted energy?

By participating in the Sleep Well Tonight Method, you will:

For some people, changing health behaviors may be a difficult thing to do – even for people like you who highly value your health.

The Sleep Well Tonight Method is simple and straightforward, but you will need to take ownership and control of your transformation by weaving these skills into your daily life.

Committing to this course is an investment of your limited time and energy. But, as you relax in bed at night during your awake moments, you have ample time to practice these simple sleep skills.

The Sleep Well Tonight Method provides a powerful foundation to kick off your renewed sleep experience.   But, rewiring your sleep is a continual practice. Even today, I use at least one of three skills almost every night. It is pure pleasure, and I look forward to my sleep-time hours.

Your experience with this program is important to me, and I want you to achieve results that are meaningful and that will make a difference for you.  When you have someone cheering for you and reminding you that you can do it – then YOU CAN DO IT!

That’s where I come in.

You will leave our sessions energized, committed, and inspired to create refreshing sleep. You will awake each morning with a new outlook on the day.

I challenge you to step forward for change, and take responsibility for your health. I’m here to empower you to do it for yourself. I will be your best supporter and your reinforcement.  That’s how this online program is different.  I can coach you and guide you through the bumpy bits, because remember, I have experienced serious sleep dysfunction.  I have sleep apnea, and I have suffered and recovered from chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.  Also, I can lend you my analytical researchers brain, compassionate healthcare providers’ heart, and solutions-focused coaching training to help you reframe sleep as an enjoyable priority in your life.

Together, we will troubleshoot your difficulties so that you can be successful with small, meaningful changes that will make a big difference.

Don’t wait.  This is no time to procrastinate. Your health is your responsibility, and people depend on you to be healthy.

When you take action NOW, your healing begins NOW.  Setting the intention brings your spiritual strength forward to work for you.  Get onto the path to sleep better right now.

If you clicked through, congratulations! I am so excited to work with you.  I know you feel good about this investment in yourself, your health, your family, and your community.

If you didn’t click through, why?  I don’t want you to miss out, but I also want you to commit from a place of power, not desperation, stress, or fear.

The choice is yours.  You have now learned more about sleep, and you can start feeling better tonight!  Or, you can continue to slog through your days.  You can continue to hire expensive health professionals.   You can continue to wait patiently for health appointments buried in your calendar.  You can continue to spend hundreds of dollars each month on drugs or supplements.

But reconsider:  Knowing how absolutely vital sleep is to your health, knowing how much more you can do with more energy, more clarity, and more feelings of control than you have had in the past, . . . isn’t it time to give your health that important edge?

What is your health worth to you?  Health truly is priceless.

Sleep loss is a serious health issue, and some sleep specialists and safety experts call it a public-health epidemic.  I agree.

If you know anyone struggling with sleep, please forward this page to them. Invite them to participate with you.  Ask them to access their free copy of “The Exhausted Person’s Guide to the Four Fundamentals to Overcome Insomnia and Conquer Fatigue.”

We all need to have more conversations about the value of sleep.  Help me extend this message to the world.  We need to rethink our relationship to sleep, and prioritize it in our lives.  And we need to change our sleep behaviours to align with the importance it has in our lives.

Please share with others how easy it can be to improve their sleep.  Help me make the world a happier, more energetic, healthier and safer place to be.

Even if you don’t purchase this online course, I am so glad we had this conversation together.
