Sleep Coaching Informed by Research and Parents’ Priorities
Wondering how to meet your child’s sleep and connection needs while also meeting your own sleep and wellbeing needs? Start here.
What is Integrated Family Sleep®?
The Integrated Family Sleep® (IFS) approach prioritises your child’s sleep and wellbeing, while also recognising that your wellbeing matters too and that every family is unique. It’s an inclusive, non-judgemental, family-centred approach that supports both children and parents using up-to-date research and a deep respect for your own values, expertise, and lived experience.
Created by Patricia Flynn MSc, BSc, MAOTI, Integrated Family Sleep® is based on decades of clinical experience, specialist training, her own peer-reviewed research, and—most importantly—the real stories and experiences of families from around the world. The approach is designed to support children’s sleep quality, safety, and emotional security while helping the whole family achieve better, healthier sleep.
