What is My Sleep Scientist?

My Sleep Scientist is a completely new concept created by me, Virginia, your personal sleep coach. Simply by joining a video call you now have access to a qualified clinical sleep professional with over 20 years of extensive experience in sleep and respiratory medicine.

My Sleep Scientist is just me, one person helping people with their sleep - an area we all struggle with at times. Whether you have already been diagnosed with a sleep disorder or think you may have one, I am here to help.

Having worked closely with some of Australia’s top sleep and respiratory specialist doctors in both clinical medicine and research in the Public and Private Health Systems, I became known for finding creative out of the box solutions for patients with more complex needs, and was the ‘go to’ scientist the doctors asked to help their patients with challenging issues.

I noticed a gap in the medical system for people needing easy access to an expert in sleep medicine with the appropriate qualifications, knowledge and clinical experience, for as much time as they need. It sounds cliché, but I truly am super passionate about helping people improve their sleep and ultimately, their quality of life.

So, I started My Sleep Scientist.

Before My Sleep Scientist the only non-hospital services available were pharmacies and sales outlets, most of which employ staff who have little or no clinical experience, relevant qualifications or appropriate ongoing education and training. Oftentimes they are trained by the company whose products they are selling, and can only recommend those products. Unfortunately, this can sometimes result in you receiving incorrect advice or perhaps purchasing something that does not work for you. Most of them do a great job, but with limited knowledge or experience they just can’t help you like an experienced sleep clinician can.

Trust and ethics are so important within medicine. My Sleep Scientist will NEVER work outside the scope of expertise and will always work along professional guidelines and standards. Your doctor is your primary specialist who will always guide the way, and My Sleep Scientist will never go against doctors orders.

My Sleep Scientist provides a high quality, ethical and medically responsible service to everyone with access to a video call, or phone call if necessary.

We sleep a third of our lives, and without it, we would die. Poor sleep affects us not just by feeling tired, but is linked to depression, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, family and  relationship breakdown, workplace accidents, dangerous driving, and even death.

If you have ANY issues sleeping, even if you think its trivial, embarrassing, or you feel beyond help, please take the leap and contact me. Even if you just need someone you trust to listen, understand, and point you in the right direction. I’m certain I can make your life better.

If you feel you’ve tried it all and nothing works or its just too hard, don’t despair, I might just be the one who comes up with the magic solution – lets do this!
