LINDA RUSSELL - NNEB, RSH, HPSt The Edinburgh Sleep Lady: I offer a bespoke service to families all over the world, working one-to-one with families either in their own homes or over the telephone and internet. Every family is an individual with a child who has its own little character, therefore each sleep programme that I design is made up for a family and its needs, routines and habits. Home Visits: I will come to your home and work one-to-one with you, tailor-making a sleep programme that best suits your way of life and your child's character. Once the plan is put into action regular support through home visits and telephone will be offered to make sure your plan stays on target. Telephone/Internet Support: I will speak to you in detail over the phone, gaining valuable insight into how you have got to where you are and where you would like to be. Together we will make a plan to get your child to sleep through the night. Regular contact while you put the plan into action will follow by telephone and internet. Linda Russell, has over 20 years experience in professional childcare, is the managing director of the Parent Coaching Studio. Trained as a nanny at the renowned Norland College, Linda has worked with children of all ages. NNEB qualified and a parent of three children herself, Linda has first-hand experience of the concerns of most parents. Linda, affectionately known as the "Sleeplady" or Scotland's answer to the "Baby Whisperer", has also worked in Education and the National Health Service where she has gained valuable experience in helping parents of children, from the newly born to teenagers, develop their parenting skills.

Testimonials: I just thought I'd drop you an email to add to your list of testimonials, documenting the changes to our life since your visit. As you know Graham and I were utterly astonished by how quickly the boys fell into their new routine - I think they were just waiting on us to take charge! They are both in bed for 7pm (without a fight) and most nights sleep through until 7am. When they do waken in the wee small hours I am literally out of bed for less than 2 minutes to settle them again, or find a lost dummy. The sleeping through the night thing is fabulous but it is the knock-on effect on our waking hours that has made the biggest difference to our lives. The boys are much happier now - we go out more frequently (made possible by my lack of exhaustion as well as their new nap time). Graham and I have time to spend together and also to do things like see our friends and go to the gym. I am much happier in myself and my relationship with the boys and my husband has become enjoyable once again. I have also gained a huge amount of confidence in my parenting ability, as I feel now that I am the one in control, rather than being dictated to by the mini evil tyrants! All-in-all you have completley transformed our lives and I absolutely cannot express my gratitude enough. Mum of twins, Fife I hope that this email reaches you. I am writing to say a very big thank you for all the help that you gave myself, Peter, Millie and Eve with Eve's sleep problems. Around this time of year, your thoughts obviously turn to reflection on the past year and Peter and I were just discussing the immense changes that have come about this year with regard to Eve, we both feel that the biggest change came about down to the support we received from yourself with regard to her sleep training. At this time, last year I would never have imagined that I would be having decent sleep as her sleep was so chronic. Mum, Glasgow As far as I am concerned, Linda has been an absolute God Send to me & I have recommended her to so many people. It took me a few nights to get used to not having to wake up through the night, but now I feel like a different person. Thank you so much Linda, I will never forget how you have helped us. Mum, Edinburgh
