About Sheila
Hi, my name is Sheila Franklin. I have many years experience in supporting birth families, foster families, and families who have adopted with their children’s challenging behaviour, and I am a Holistic Sleep Coach. I have an expertise in evidence based family assessments, and an extensive knowledge of child development and attachment theory.
Combining my previous professional experience and expertise with the Holistic Sleep Coaching qualification means I am able to help families address sleep issues in an evidenced based way, and in a way that promotes close, responsive, and nurturing care without using any strategies that leave children alone to cry. I support families from tots to teens with a wide range of sleep issues including - routine setting, naps, early rising, “regressions”, bedtime battles, and night time waking.
On a personal note, I live in North West England (Cheshire East) with my husband and our rescue dog, and have two sons.
