Carol Richard is a nervous-system-informed coach and the founder of Carol Richard Coaching and The Better Sleep Community. Her work supports sensitive people who want to understand themselves with more compassion, soften the pressure around sleep, and create a deeper sense of safety within their body. Carol’s approach is gentle, practical, and rooted in the belief that sleep is not something we force, but something that becomes more possible when the nervous system feels supported. Through sleep stories, tapping practices, and calming bedtime support, she helps listeners slow down, listen inward, and meet themselves with kindness. Her offerings are created for people who feel deeply, carry a lot, or have spent years trying hard to rest. Carol invites you to stop fighting with yourself and begin building a softer relationship with your nervous system, one gentle practice at a time.

This is so helpful and I appreciate that it acknowledges the good intentions. I also appreciate that this includes EFT tapping.

Such wise words. Tonight if I am awake I will remember, it's OK and I give myself permission to just lie here, and that my body is still resting even if sleep evades me. Thank you Carol. X

This is very valuable for me. Being hyper-aware of the mood of people I’m with and feeling that I need to “fix” it has been a lifelong habit. I hope that you will create some EFT tapping videos for Insight Timer, too. Thank you!
