In Safe Hands Partners: The International SleepTalk® Training Academy

Shaping Brighter Futures - Supporting Parents to Transform Their Children’s Lives

There is no doubt, parents today are overwhelmed by the daily chaos of raising children, often walking on eggshells and dreading public outbursts. Many time-poor parents silently bear the burdens of guilt, stress, and isolation — especially with children aged 2–16.

We are proud to be partnered with “In Safe Hands” offering our program and services to both parents and family centred professionals and educators & individuals with this life changing process.

Child based professionals or educators supporting families often face challenges such as limited access to ongoing education, time constraints, and difficulties achieving consistent client outcomes. Many may feel overwhelmed, occasionally needing to refer families elsewhere due to these limitations.

We Provide An Effective, Proven Alternative To Fixing Dysfunctional Families.

The SleepTalk® Process is a proven, safe, and non-invasive method developed over 50 years ago to help parents foster emotional resilience and positive behavioural change in their children.

It reinforces a sense of security, self-worth, and calm. Backed by decades of practical application, the SleepTalk® Process empowers families to support their child’s emotional wellbeing, improve self-confidence, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall behaviour—creating a more harmonious home environment.

While its simplicity may initially evoke scepticism amongst professionals, practitioners soon experience its transformative impact on families.

Our Master of Training - Kerre Burley

HI, I’m Kerre Burley, and for over five decades, I’ve been devoted to helping families shift from chaos to connection.

As the Master of Training at ISTA & founder of “Fixing Dysfunctional Families" at the International SleepTalk® Training Academy, my mission is simple yet powerful: to empower professionals and parents with the tools, insights, and confidence they need to raise emotionally secure, resilient, and confident children.

My journey began with my own family, as a competent successful businesswoman, with five boisterous boys, I felt I was failing on so many levels as a parent. Then, I saw firsthand the incredible transformation the SleepTalk® Process had on my last son, and it changed everything. From that moment, I knew I had to share this life-changing approach with others.

Today, I’m privileged to work with child centred educators, professionals and parents all over the world, guiding them to address childhood challenges like anxiety, behavioural issues, and minor and major developmental concerns—all by working gently with the unconscious mind, where lasting change begins.

Whether it’s through personal coaching, online webinars, or speaking engagements, I remain passionate about supporting parents to become the calm, connected leaders their children need.

This work isn’t just my profession—it’s my purpose. Because every child deserves a nurturing environment, and every parent deserves to feel confident creating it. For any inquiries, please feel free to contact us.

We look forward to welcoming you to our professional community and supporting your success with the trusted SleepTalk® Process.

Warmest regards, the International SleepTalk® Training Academy Team
