Mindful Sleep

Charlie has spent the past 15 years helping some of the most traumatised populations integrate their trauma, reduce their stress before bed and sleep more peacefully.
‍
Originally developed for British military veterans, the Mindfulness of Dream & Sleep protocol that he created uses scientifically verified breath and body-work practices alongside the deep relaxation, nightmare transformation and lucid dreaming techniques to help people learn how to sleep well again.

These practices have been proven to be highly effective. Independent analysis found that 87% of participants reported significantly improved sleep quality while 77% reported significantly lowered levels of anxiety around sleep after practicing the techniques.
