Mandy Gurney

Mandy Gurney is a registered nurse, midwife, and health visitor.

During her 20 years working as a health professional within the NHS, Mandy saw first-hand the many problems caused by sleep deprivation. This motivated her to set up one of the first children sleep clinics within the NHS. The outstanding results of this clinic became the catalyst for her to set up Millpond Children’s Sleep Clinic in 2000.

Millpond is now recognised as one of the leading authorities on children’s sleep and is the only practice to offer advice and support to children of all ages from babies to teenagers, on a global basis.

In 2005 after establishing Millpond as the leading Children’s Sleep Clinic in the private sector, Mandy turned her attentions back to her roots in the NHS, by creating a series of workshops designed to train health professionals. The independent workshops led by Mandy, have become renowned for their excellence, followed by specific training programmes for NHS Trust’s across the UK and Eire; Millpond is now recognised as one of the main sources of training for NHS staff in the management of sleep.

As well as heading sleep seminars in the corporate sector, Mandy is frequently consulted by the consumer press, the BBC and other media organisations for expert comment. She is the sleep expert for many well known brands such as Chicco, In The Night Garden, Gro company and Rest Easy Sleep Well.

Mandy is the author of the sleep bible “Teach your Child to Sleep”, which has sold tens of thousands of copies world-wide and has been translated into ten different languages.
