Sleep OT

Sleep Health Practitioner assisting adults & children with chronic fatigue or sleep disorders affecting daytime function & performance.

Sleep OT's mission is to empower people to value their sleep in pursuit of improving their overall health. Through education, environmental adaptation and client-centred therapy, Sleep OT intends to partner with clients who are suffering with fatigue, sleep disorders and other disturbances of energy and productivity, and introduce healthy strategies that improve sleep and wellness non-pharmocologically.

Sleep OT is a consultancy that is run by an occupational therapist with a special interest and training in sleep health and wellness. Sleep is an occupation, and is largely under-addressed by the medical and health team at large. There is vast new evidence surrounding the improvement of sleep through non-pharmocological methods including, but not limited to, environmental adaptations and cognitive behavioural approaches - both of which fall under the umbrella of the Occupational Therapy scope.
OT's are trained to work with all ages from infants to geriatrics, and Sleep OT services are not limited to any specific age. Sleep OT also offers services within corporate teams to assist management and executives to recognise the effects of fatigue on productivity and through training, assist employees with strategies to combat poor sleep habits.
