Use a proven method with exceptional results

The Wellspring Method was developed and refined over 20 years in clinical practice.
• It is several effective therapies blended together into one step-by-step process,
• It helps children feel strong and confident when facing a challenge, such as the nighttime fears and anxiety they experience when sleeping in a darkened room,
• In a case review of children with clinical sleep anxiety, 84% were totally improved and another 10% were partially improved,
• The Wellspring Method was the focus of a research study at the University of Victoria.

Stop searching for the solution to your child's nighttime fears and anxiety - you've found it.

Be careful with sleep anxiety tips and strategies you find on the internet.
• Every time you use advice that fails, it reinforces your child's belief that they can’t learn to sleep alone,
• Children like the feeling of learning to do something on their own (internet tips and strategies don't always support this),
• The key to real change is that it occurs best from the inside out,
• Bedtime Hero motivates and assists your child to solve their sleep problem themselves.

"I was DESPERATE when I stumbled across this program in the middle of the night. My 6 year old who has never been a great sleeper had fallen into a pattern of not wanting to go to sleep and waking up 1-2 times a night for a few months “scared”. I was willing to try ANYTHING. The program worked almost immediately! We set an original goal of 7 nights in a row. After a few trial nights she slept until night 6. Then we reset with the intent of a small prize at the end of the week. She was successful! The next time we increased it to 14 days and have added on each time since then. So in the last 45 days she has slept all night at least 40 of them. It’s been amazing and she loves it!"
