Sleep has a vital role to play when it comes to your health and well-being in your life. Many people struggle with their sleep. If you are concerned about better sleep lately, this episode is just for you. This week on the Curious women podcast, we are joined by Teresa DeNike, Sleep Coach & Clinical Sleep Educator and the founder of Sleep Better NYC, which provides sleep coaching, care coordination, and therapy monitoring.
Teresa is a board-certified clinical sleep health educator. She is not a physician but has been working with physicians. She is an expert in sleep apnea, sleep hygiene, mindset for sleep, and the overall well-being of her patients. She has been working in the field for 14 years with patients and doctors who have patients. When she realized that not enough information was being shared with people about the area, but people had a lot of questions to ask her about their sleeping, she decided to start full-time sleep coaching. She works with patients but created some online courses because it's accessible for everyone to get in touch. She aims to educate people and spread awareness about sleep, mental health, and possible sleep disorders.
