Meet Lisa Maltman
Founder and Owner of The Sleep Connection
Lisa Maltman is the founder and owner of The Sleep Connection and is passionate about improving lives through healthy sleep.
Lisa established The Sleep Connection to address the growing concern around the impact that insufficient sleep is having on many of our younger children, along with approximately 70% of our adolescents. This can have serious consequences on learning, motivation and mental health.
Lisa has worked with more than 100 schools across public, catholic and independent sectors in multiple states in Australia. Lisa specialises in helping students, staff and parents thrive in their overall physical and mental health, school performance and family lives through her interactive programs and workshops.
Lisa is an invited speaker at key Australian mental health and wellbeing conferences. Lisa has a unique ability to inspire change, sharing the message from three perspectives:
- Professional-as a sleep educator with a background in treatment of sleep apnea and corporate health.
- Family-living the reality of her message as a full-time working mother of two teenagers.
- Personal-as someone who in the past has been personally impacted by chronic insomnia and understands the impact and road to recovery.
Lisa looks forward to sharing the “Sleep for Better Health, Resilience and Performance” message with you.
