Stephanie Woodhouse is a physiotherapist based in Melbourne, Australia. She completed her undergraduate study in 2010 and immediately started work in private practice. From there she went on to complete her Post Graduate Certificate and then Masters in Sports Physiotherapy. She has worked in various elite sports since 2013, many of which have taken her around the world traveling with Australian teams.
But, there is another side to her story. She suffered from glandular fever twice during her school years and never really recovered from the second bout and it developed into chronic fatigue syndrome. Over the following 10 years there were some relapses and an additional diagnosis of adrenal fatigue. After development of some new symptoms she was diagnosed with a Chiari Malformation and underwent decompression surgery (brain surgery) late 2018.
Working in the health industry whilst also suffering from a number of health concerns has given her an interesting, and in some ways, unique perspective. She has gained a lot of knowledge and has accessed a lot of resources that have allowed her to navigate her journey a little easier.
She is also a mumma to Romy who has just turned 1. Initially things were going well with Romy’s sleep but soon she found her little one was waking 11x overnight which meant she was too, and her partner ended up sleeping in the spare room! She knew she needed support but never resonated with the CC or CIO approaches. Referred by a friend she embarked on a beautiful journey of personal growth and sleep transformation which she was very keen on sharing with other mummas.
During this podcast episode we discuss not only her entire family’s sleep transformation but how important it was to undertake a philosophy that was in line with her beliefs such as co regulation and having a long term approach as well as resolving the immediate issues at hand. She discusses the sleep transformation we embarked upon, to be not only about sleep but intense personal growth and overcoming feelings of guilt, judgement and anxiety she experienced as she considered reaching out for support. She describes her sleep transformation to be “more transformative than birth”. This is an incredible episode which is sure to change your perspective of what it is like to do sleep work with this unique and truly holistic method at The Holistic Sleep Project.
