Past Professionals
Hi, my name is Emmalou Penrod from Ogden, Utah, USA. 
I signed up for this course because I wanted to learn more about the SleepTalk® Process and add another service to my business. I expected the course to prepare to confidently teach parents how to use this process and I found it surpassed my expectations.
The presentation was interactive and engaging. All of my questions were answered and the time flew by. As we went through the material, I grew more excited about how this information can help families and how many people can benefit from it.
I am now so looking forward to adding my new status as a Foundation Coach to my website, social media platform and letting parents know how this process will help their children.
I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to serve parents and strengthen families.

I wanted to say thanks again, the course was fascinating and I can’t put my training manual down! I want to learn as much as I can about The SleepTalk® Process.
It was a little daunting at first when I saw the wealth of experience around the room but you made me feel like I was just as important which gave me the confidence to believe in myself.
As you may notice by the time I am up at the crack of dawn, I have my first consultation at 9.00 am with a family in desperate need of help to which I am very glad to be able to share my knowledge of The SleepTalk® Process.
I am also enjoying carrying out the process with both my boys. My eldest son who knows of the work I am doing said: “Mummy I think I know when you have done SleepTalk® on me because I wake up feeling all warm inside. It doesn’t get better than that. xxx”
