If you’re in your 40s (or early 50s),
wired-but-tired, and wondering
why sleep suddenly feels impossible — you’re not broken.

You’re likely
in perimenopause.

I’m Beth, a certified sleep coach, and I help women in midlife finally sleep again — even when hormones are shifting, stress is high, and nothing that “used to work” works anymore.

For years, I supported women who were doing everything right: good sleep hygiene, cutting caffeine, meditation apps, supplements — yet still lying awake at 3 a.m. with racing thoughts, night sweats, or a nervous system stuck in overdrive.

What I now understand — personally and professionally — is that perimenopause changes the rules of sleep.

Why Perimenopause Sleep Is Different

During perimenopause, fluctuating estrogen and progesterone can impact:

  • Your ability to fall asleep

  • Night wakings (especially early-morning wakeups)

  • Anxiety, rumination, and stress sensitivity

  • Body temperature and night sweats

Add chronic stress, caregiving, work pressure, or burnout — and sleep can unravel fast.

That’s why generic sleep advice often falls flat at this stage of life.

You don’t need more rules.
You need a hormone-aware, nervous-system-friendly approach.

“Beth does
a wonderful job offering useful and practical advice.”

How I Help

My work blends:

  • Evidence-based sleep coaching

  • Stress and nervous system regulation

  • Perimenopause-informed education

  • Compassionate, realistic support for busy women

We focus on:

  • Calming your body so sleep can happen naturally

  • Reducing nighttime anxiety and middle-of-the-night wakeups

  • Rebuilding trust in your sleep — without pressure or perfection

This is not about forcing sleep or “fixing” yourself.
It’s about working with your changing body.

A Little About Me

I’m a certified sleep coach, podcast host, and the author of The Calm & Cozy Book of Sleep.

I’m also a woman in midlife who understands firsthand how disruptive — and confusing —
this season can be.

I believe women deserve better sleep support than: “Welcome to aging — just deal with it.”

You deserve rest.
You deserve answers.
And you deserve a plan that actually fits this phase of life.

If This Sounds Like You…

If you’re navigating perimenopause, chronic stress, or burnout — and sleep feels fragile or frustrating — you’re in the right place.

“You’re like my sleep fairy godmother.”

The Fun Stuff

What I love most about myself: My sense of humor and my eyes—not necessarily in that order, depending on the day.

Secret career dream: Stand-up comedy. (Still working up the courage for that first open mic night.)

Current obsession: Dance! I'm on the floor about ten hours a week, teaching classes and training for the next local dancesport competition. I teach line dance classes on Tuesday nights and love every minute of it. My mom and I compete regularly—not for the glory, but for the excuse to get glammed up and perform. Plus, I'm addicted to having goals to work toward.

My Roots

I'm a Burlington, Ontario native, born into a family of kind, hilarious, and ridiculously talented people. My dad was a prairie-born historian who authored twelve books before we lost him to brain cancer in 2022. My mom, a small Northern Ontario town native (same hometown as Shania Twain—claim to fame right there), taught me the most valuable lesson: you can reinvent yourself at any age.

Pure joy activity: Weekly ukulele lessons. For over two years, I've spent thirty minutes every week singing and jamming with my teacher. It's not about becoming the next musical sensation—it's about those perfect moments of pure, uncomplicated fun.
