Parent Feedback:  “Initially I didn’t think SleepTalk™ would have the potential to work on my 3 year old daughter; however after trying the technique that my consultant demonstrated I found my 3 year old to be calmer and more settled with her bedtime routine.  The SleepTalk™ process was very easy to follow and manage and we feel at ease with the simple technique Our consultant is helping us with every step of the way and on the whole it has been a worthwhile contribution to my daughters now very healthy sleeping routine”

Feedback from consultant:

Thanks again for the wonderful Saturday where you shared your pearls of wisdom with the group. I’m looking forward to the next two SleepTalk group get-togethers.

I had my first session with a mum a couple of days ago and it went so well! We had a great discussion about her concerns and what she wanted for her 6 year old boy. I followed the suggested procedural format and we covered everything as you showed us. As we went through the ‘Where does my child stand now?’ form, every so often little beams of light seemed to shine into her mind to show greater clarity about what has been happening and maybe why. After going through the Top Hat, the different brain-wave levels, continuous positive statements, the foundation statements and the process she asked if she could also do it with her other two children who are aged 9 and 3. I said a definite yes and that it would be even better that she did do the process with each of them. She went home feeling much happier and empowered.

I rang her last night to see how she went on the first night and she said that everything went really well and she felt so wonderful saying the foundation statements to each of her children. She did mention with amazement that even after just one night her 3 year old girl had the best night’s sleep that she has had for ages and that during the day she was very bright and bubbly. I told her that it just affirms what a powerful process SleepTalk is!!!

Thank you Joane for teaching me this amazing way of helping parents deliver an exquisite gift to their children. We’ve booked the next session in 4 weeks and I’ve arranged to ring her every Sunday evening, if she hasn’t called me during the week.

Dr J and his wife had a 10 ½ year old son, their only child. He had slept with them together since babyhood, then alternated between them, when they later no longer occupied the same bed. When they tried to break him of this habit it always ended up with tantrums, tears and sleepless nights for all, so forcing the issue hadn’t worked for this family. When asked why he didn’t want to sleep by himself, the child he said he got scared – and the parents left it at that.

When the child was approaching secondary school age, they decided to try the Goulding SleepTalk™ process.

We began with the foundation process for 21 days with both parents administering the procedure alternately. It was decided that Dr J not ask his son to sleep in his own bed yet. We observed that at the ten day mark the child was happy, however at that time the child showed a preference for sleeping in his mother’s room.

After completing 21 days, the extended script was added for 1 week, after which Joane suggested Dr J tell his child firmly and lovingly that he was old enough, and that it was time for him to sleep in his own bed. Dr J was very reluctant and expressed fear that his son would react by being wakeful and difficult. He spoke to his son who reluctantly agreed to ‘try’ and sleep on his own. At the same time the next phrase was introduced when he changed beds.

It was decided to follow up with an additional suggestion after 2 weeks and to contact Joane to advise outcome.

Dr J phoned Joane 3 weeks later to say that his son’s change to his own bed was accomplished without a problem, with the only complaint being he was a little cold – so a hot water bottle solved the issue. He was proud of his independence.

Dr J was so impressed with the Goulding SleepTalk™ process that he has the booklet on show in his reception area.
