Struggling with headaches and sleep apnea?

So was my client, Elisha

She would wake up daily with headaches and she often would be up 1-3 times a night.

She was in denial for a long time that she even had sleep apnea as she is young and healthy.

She couldn’t believe she had it. It she wasn't the only one, people don't want to believe they have it as they aren't overweight.

She has been trying to sleep with CPAP for about year but she was struggling and still waking up tired and with a headaches

The headaches is what was bringing her to see me.

It was taking a toll on her.

She was feeling discouraged and didn’t like how she felt and didn’t want to live with headaches anymore.

I have had headaches and I know how bad they can be and if you suffer from headaches like Elisha, you know how bad they can be.

You have a hard time focus.

You may have to cancel work or time out with friends as the headache is so bad and all you want to do is lie down and turn the lights off.

It can make you feel miserable, can’t it?

Elisha had a few things contributing to her morning headaches

How she was breathing at night time and during the day

Sleep Apnea

Tongue not resting properly

Parasites in her stomach

So how did we address this

Worked on changing how she was breathing

Worked on tongue placement and tongue control

Referral to airway focused dentist

Sent for a very detailed stool sample and supplements and antibiotics to treat her stomach bacteria

Elisha is now having less headaches and sleeping through the night.

She is also running her own business and going to school at the same time

This is what Elisha had to say:

“When I first sought help, I was having daily headaches, waking up multiple times per night, and having digestive issues.

Tierney went above and beyond to help which significantly improved my overall functioning.

I am now sleeping through the night and do not suffer with headaches the way I used to.”

If you can relate to Elisha story and you want to get rid of your headaches, DM me "Headaches" to get started.

The kids are finally back in school… but are YOU still running on empty?

Summer was busy — late nights, travel, BBQs, juggling work and family.
And now, as routines start to settle again, it’s the perfect time to reset your own energy, sleep, and metabolism.

Here’s the truth:
💡 If you’re waking up tired…
💡 If brain fog is making you second-guess decisions…
💡 If you’re relying on caffeine or sugar to “push through” the afternoons…

…it’s not just stress. It’s your metabolism and sleep working against you.

That’s why I created The Metabolism + Sleep Reset — a simple guide that shows you:
✔ Why sleep is the #1 reset button for your metabolism
✔ Daily habits to balance blood sugar & hormones
✔ The role of stress & cortisol in your energy crashes
✔ Easy nutrition + movement shifts that work with your busy life

Now is the time to reclaim your routine so you can:
✨ Lead with clarity
✨ Be present with your family
✨ Stop the cycle of exhaustion and poor decisions

Because it’s time to go back-to-school AND back-to-YOU.

We’ve become so used to managing exhaustion that we forget it’s actually fixable.

That’s the biggest “aha” moment for many of my clients—realizing their fatigue can be reversed when their bodies get the oxygen and quality sleep they truly need to heal and recover.

With my background in physiotherapy and sleep coaching, I work closely with each client to address the whole body ...
… restoring how they breathe, move, and function from head to toe.
Here’s how we do it:

Step 1: The Deep-Dive Sleep Analysis
We start with a free 45‑minute session to get under the surface of your exhaustion.

I assess more than symptoms—I look for airway collapse, breathing dysfunction, and body mechanics most doctors miss.

Step 2: A Full-Body Breathing Reset
Unlike devices that only work while worn, my physiotherapy background allows me to retrain how your body functions from head to toe:

🔹 Restoring tongue posture & oral muscle strength
🔹 Improving jaw, neck, and ribcage mobility
🔹 Correcting movement patterns that restrict airflow
This is how we fix sleep-disordered breathing at the root.

Step 3: 3-6 Months of Targeted, 1:1 Coaching

Over six months, we work closely together to:
✨ Rebuild natural, effortless nighttime breathing
✨ Restore deep, restorative sleep
✨ Bring back mental sharpness, energy, and leadership presence
✨ Get you free from CPAPs or temporary devices for good

This isn’t a quick band-aid—it’s a complete transformation in how your body breathes, sleeps, and performs.

One of my clients said it best:

“I wish I hadn’t waited years—and thousands of dollars—to finally solve this. I got my life back.”

If you’re ready to finally fix, not just manage, your sleep struggles, book your free 45‑minute Sleep Analysis Call.

We’ll uncover whether disordered breathing is silently draining you and map out a personalized plan to wake up rested and energized every day.

You shouldn’t need to chug espresso or take an ice-cold shower to survive a rough night of sleep.

When your baseline sleep is solid, bouncing back becomes simple.

Here’s my go-to “feel human again” reset after a sleepless night:

☀️ A short walk to get my blood moving
🥣 A fiber- and protein-rich breakfast to stabilize blood sugar
🍵 A warm cup of green tea (gentle, no crash)
😴 A 15-minute power nap if my body needs it

That’s it.

These aren’t hacks or heroics—they’re supportive habits that actually work because my body isn’t running on empty most of the time.

✨ Good sleep makes all the difference.

✨ Good recovery habits make sure one rough night doesn’t take you down.

What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve done to keep yourself awake after a brutal night?

Ice bath? Gas station sugar binge? Blasting 90s hip hop with the windows down?

These are statements I hear every week.

From ambitious, capable women juggling demanding careers and full family lives.

Women who do it all—and still wake up tired, foggy, and drained by 2pm.

We’ve been taught to normalize exhaustion.

To blame our age, our hormones, our stress levels.

But for many women, the real issue is deeper—like airway collapse during sleep or subtle breathing dysfunction that’s never been addressed.

These issues are often dismissed or misdiagnosed—especially in women.
Yet the symptoms overlap exactly with what we’re told is “just getting older”:
➤ Brain fog
➤ Weight gain
➤ Mood swings
➤ Constant fatigue

If this has you rethinking your own tiredness, you’re not alone.

You deserve real answers.

Drop a Y if this hit home or DM me if you’re ready to explore what might really be going on.

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽, 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝘅𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆?

So did my client Amanda.

When Amanda joined the program, she was struggling with poor sleep where she was only sleeping 3-5 hours a night.

She would struggle to fall asleep and fall back to sleep when she did wake up during the night.

She always found she was a light sleeper.

She would feel revved up a night time and not be able to wind down for sleep.

She was wired but tired.

She would need to hit her alarm clock 7-8 times before getting out of bed.

Her poor sleep was impacting her in all areas of life.

She suffered from headaches since she was a child on a regular basis and would need ibuprofen to help get rid of them.

She would push through them or she would cancel her day because of them. So she would either miss out with family/friends or work.

She also had a lot of anxiety.

She would have a hard time to focus and be able to stick to a routine.

Now she is sleeping through most nights.

She barely gets headaches and her anxiety is easier to manage now and she is sticking to a routine.

Do you ever feel wired and tired?

Comment below as I love to hear your story.

You know the feeling:

That violent jolt from sleep.

You hit snooze. Once. Twice. Three times.

Then drag yourself to the kitchen like it’s a crime scene.

That was a lot of my clients

Early bedtimes. Clean sleep hygiene. All the “right” habits.

And still, they woke up feeling like they got hit by a truck.

I would feel that way too except I woke up early on my own.

I chalked it up to motherhood … until my baby started sleeping through the night, and I still woke up exhausted.
That’s when I dug deeper.

It wasn’t stress. Or screens. Or another supplement deficiency.

It was disordered breathing. My airway was literally collapsing during sleep, which kept my body in survival mode instead of rest.

Once I retrained how my body moved, breathed, and recovered overnight, everything changed:

✨ I woke up with energy (even on short nights)
✨ I stopped snapping at my kids
✨ My brain and body actually felt rested

Now I help other high-achieving, secretly-exhausted parents do the same. Because your alarm clock shouldn’t feel like a personal attack.

Drop a 🙋‍♀️ emoji if yours felt like this morning.

It’s late summer. The team’s back from vacations.

08/11/2025

It’s not the dragging yourself out of bed.
It’s not the brain fog.
It’s not the skipped workouts or constant yawning.

It’s the shame …
😔 Of feeling like the weak link at work, even though you're the one who holds it all together.
😔 Of snapping at your kids and immediately regretting it.
😔 Of canceling plans—not because you’re busy, but because pretending to be “fine” takes more energy than you have.

You keep showing up. Pushing through. Telling yourself this is just what being a high-performing adult looks like.

But inside, your body is screaming for help.

And it’s not something more caffeine, supplements, or willpower can fix.

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re exhausted.

You don’t have to keep pretending.

Drop “that’s me” if you’ve ever felt like you’re just one more sleepless night away from falling apart.
