Can better sleep help you become more productive, focused, and successful in business?

Beatrice Petitdemange is a sleep and nervous system coach who supports entrepreneurs and professionals struggling with sleep difficulties. Rather than relying on techniques, she focuses on regulating the nervous system. Her approach is based on Stephen Porges's polyvagal theory and Gabor Maté's Compassionate Inquiry, complemented by her HeartMath certification in heart coherence and her Pleine Confiance certification from Ludovic Leroux. Additionally, she is a chromopuncture therapist. Beatrice believes that sleep cannot be forced; it naturally returns when the body regains a sense of safety.

Beatrice shares her perspective as a Sleep Coach and discusses why improving your sleep can support your energy, concentration, productivity, and overall wellbeing.
