And it still isn't working.
The dark bedroom. The sleep hygiene rules. The meditation apps. The supplements stacking up on your nightstand.
Maybe you tried CBT-I, the "gold standard," and white-knuckled your way through sleep restriction until you couldn't take it anymore.

Your sleep can change. Not through willpower. Through understanding.
programs fail.
Most sleep programs teach one method. Follow it exactly. If you can't handle strict sleep restriction, too bad. If the rigid rules spike your anxiety, try harder. If you're still not sleeping after six weeks, that's on you.
But insomnia isn't one thing. It's rarely purely behavioral. And if your nervous system is already on high alert, rigid rules can make sleep worse, not better.
What if your insomnia is actually driven by:
Cortisol spiking at midnight instead of morning, so your body is on the wrong schedule?
Low ferritin causing restless nights and micro-arousals you don't even remember?
A wake time that's sabotaging the natural build-up of sleep pressure?
An undiagnosed airway issue that looks like anxiety and 3am waking?
A brain that needs flexibility, not another rigid protocol to fail at?
No amount of sleep hygiene is going to fix those things. And neither is another generic course that punishes you for being anxious.
sleep program.
Built on one principle: find the root cause, not just treat the symptom.
Two Approaches, Not One
CBT-I informed techniques for structure and behavioral change. ACT-I techniques for flexibility and permission to rest when rigid rules make everything worse.
You'll learn both. You'll use the path that fits your brain, your nervous system, and your life.
Biology, Not Just Behavior
Most programs skip this entirely. You'll learn:
- What bloodwork to request and what "normal" means for sleep
- When a sleep study might be worth pushing for
- How gut health, thyroid, and hormones affect sleep
- Which supplements have real evidence behind them
A Plan Built for You
An 18-section intake. A personalized 15–20 page plan referencing your specific history, symptoms, biology, and life.
You don't stare at a course library — I tell you exactly where to start and why.
Education, not medical advice.
I'm a certified sleep specialist, not a doctor. But I'll help you stop guessing and start asking the right questions with the right information behind you.
works.
From first conversation to sustained, lasting change.
Discovery Call
A short 20-minute video call to make sure we're a good fit. I'll ask about your sleep history. You can ask me anything. This is a fit call, not a sales call.
Full Program OnlyIntake
A thorough 45–60 minute intake covering your full sleep history, medical context, medications, supplements, life situation, previous interventions, and what you've noticed about your own patterns. The depth of your answers shapes the depth of your plan.
Personalized Plan
I review your intake — read through it properly, not skim it — and write you a detailed personalized plan within 5 business days. This is not a template. It references your specific history, symptoms, biology, and life. Most clients receive 15–20 pages.
Foundations Phase
Take the plan to your doctor. Book the suggested bloodwork. Make the environmental and supplement changes. Start watching the modules in the order I've sequenced them. This phase typically takes 2–4 weeks.
Active Support
6 weeks of structured weekly check-ins. Each week, you complete a reflection. Within 48 hours, I write you a detailed clinical response: what I'm noticing, what to focus on, what to re-read, and one question to sit with.

Which is right for you?
Most people who come to me need the full program. Not because the plan isn't good, but because implementing a new approach to sleep is where people get stuck. Reading about ACT-I is not the same as using it at 3am when your mind is racing.
If you're a healthcare provider or someone who has done this kind of self-directed work before and knows you'll follow through, The Plan can be enough. If you know you'll need someone in your corner, choose the Full Program.

I'm falling asleep more easily and back to sleep faster. I'm dreaming way more, which for me means I'm sleeping better. I used to need a sleep podcast every single night just to fall asleep. Now I've only used it once or twice in the last week. That's huge. I finally have knowledge and tools to actually prioritize and improve my sleep, which is invaluable.

Certified Sleep Specialist
I'm Lauren Weber, a certified sleep specialist. I work with adults whose sleep has been broken for a long time and who have tried the usual approaches without sustained results.
My formal training includes Insomnia Interventions through Queen's University, a continuing professional development program accredited by the College of Family Physicians of Canada. The program covers CBT-I delivery and the safe deprescribing of sleep medications, and is typically taken by family physicians, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and psychologists.
I've also studied ACT-I extensively through the published research. I turned to it because I found that rigid behavioral protocols often failed clients whose nervous systems were already activated.
After my divorce, I developed terrible insomnia. Racing thoughts. Heart pounding the moment I got into bed. As a sleep specialist, I knew all the rules. I'd taught them to hundreds of people. But my body wasn't cooperating.
I tried to follow the rigid CBT-I protocol I'd learned. It made everything worse. That's when I realized the standard approach isn't enough for everyone.
I went deeper into ACT-I. I studied the hormone-sleep connection, the gut-sleep connection, the nutrient deficiencies that sabotage rest. And I fixed my own sleep. Not overnight. Not perfectly. But genuinely, deeply, and sustainably.
That's what I teach now.

How is this different from other sleep programs?
Most programs teach one rigid approach. This teaches both CBT-I and ACT-I, addresses biological factors behavior change alone won't fix, and gives you a personalized plan — not a generic curriculum.
I've tried a sleep program before. Will this work?
"It didn't work" usually means the approach was too rigid for your nervous system, a biological factor was missed, or you were doing it alone. This program addresses all of those. I can promise a thorough, personalized approach.
I have anxiety, trauma, or chronic pain.
ACT-I was specifically developed for people with anxiety and trauma histories where rigid CBT-I protocols tend to fail. We'll assess this during the intake. If you're in acute crisis, please work with a mental health provider first.
How long until I see results?
For some, changes begin within weeks. For clients with long histories or significant medical factors, meaningful improvement typically takes 3–4 months. I'll give you realistic expectations in your personalized plan.
Do I need supplements or testing?
I'll recommend specific bloodwork to discuss with your doctor — most tests are covered by standard healthcare. For supplements, I'll educate you on what has real evidence. I'm not affiliated with any brand.
What if I have sleep apnea?
If you have untreated sleep apnea, please get diagnosed and start treatment first. If you suspect you might but haven't been assessed, I can help you figure out whether a sleep study is warranted.
How much time does this take?
Intake: 45–60 minutes. Weekly check-ins: 10–15 minutes. Plan for 15–30 minutes per day for the first 4–6 weeks. After that, the work integrates naturally into your life.
Is the course access really lifetime?
Yes. Permanent access to all materials, updates, and new modules. The 6 weeks of active support is time-bounded, but the educational content stays yours forever.

can change.
Not through white-knuckling another rigid protocol. Through understanding what's actually driving your insomnia, and building an approach that works with your brain instead of against it.
