If you're struggling with sleepless nights, exhausted days, and the frustration of a mind that won’t switch off, know that you’re not alone—and there is a way forward
A Mindful Way to Healthy Sleep is a science-based program that provides practical strategies to support healthier sleep and help you feel more rested and balanced.
Based on the gold-standard treatment for insomnia—Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)—and combined with mindfulness techniques, this course provides a structured, empowering approach to transforming your sleep.
This is more than just sleep advice. It’s a comprehensive, step-by-step course that addresses the root causes of insomnia and equips you with lifelong skills to help you sleep better—not just for weeks, but for years to come.
Imagine…
- Approaching bedtime with a sense of calm confidence rather than anxious anticipation.
- starting your day feeling refreshed and ready to engage, rather than struggling through the morning
- having the sustained focus to complete your most important tasks without that mid-afternoon mental fog
- moving through your day with a steady energy that doesn't require constant caffeine reinforcements.
- the satisfaction of ending each day knowing you've shown up as your best self, present and engaged in what matters most.

Independent research conducted by Monash University evaluated A Mindful Way to Healthy Sleep in a world-first randomised controlled trial (RCT) of a digital mindfulness-based CBTi program.
The A Mindful Way to Healthy Sleep program was found to be significantly more effective at reducing insomnia than a waitlist control group, in a study of 27 participants.
On a standard measure of sleep, the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), 83% of people who completed the program achieved a clinical improvement in insomnia and 75% achieved a full remission of insomnia and reported normal healthy sleep at the end of the study. Only 8% of the control group improved their sleep without treatment. Click here to read the full study
