Welcome to Sleep Soundly.
Welcome to Sleep Soundly.
I am Evelyn Stewart, and until a few years ago I was working as the Senior Paediatric Sleep Practitioner, managing a team of Specialist Paediatric Sleep Practitioners in an NHS multidisciplinary sleep clinic in the south of England. I am a member of The British Sleep Society, The International Paediatric Sleep Association and also The World Sleep Society. As well as working privately with families I also run EDS Training which trains health and education professionals and those working with babies and children on understanding and managing sleep problems. I have taught both nationally and internationally on the subject of paediatric sleep since 2009 . I work with families of typically developing children as well as children with additional needs, aged 6 months to 16 years. Consultations are carried out via telephone and Zoom and I have clients all over the world. I have worked with hundreds of families with sleep problems in the last 12+ years and I am fully aware of the impact that sleep disturbance has on a household, rarely is it ever just the child who is affected!
My approach is always to take into consideration exactly what it is parents want to achieve, their individual parenting style, the impact of a sleep programme on other family members, the family home set up, the age/stage and ability of the baby/child, and to then negotiate a sleep management programme with parents, so as to be sure that they are carrying out a programme that works for them and that they are comfortable with.
