About Morgan Adams, Holistic Sleep Coach
Morgan Adams is a holistic sleep coach for women who struggle with getting a good night’s sleep consistently. Her goal is to help women feel better and live better, and the key to both begins with a good night’s sleep.
Morgan is an accredited health coach with additional advanced certifications in sleep science. She’s a sought-after podcast guest and expert for websites like MindBodyGreen.
Morgan is also a former insomniac. She spent almost a decade using prescription pills despite knowing her overall sleep quality suffered.
Morgan now inspires and teaches other women how to confidently, calmly, and effectively get a good night’s sleep without using sleep aids.
Morgan is also a two-time breast cancer survivor. She advocates for a lifestyle of disease prevention and integrating holistic strategies for cancer treatment. Morgan lives in Richmond, Virginia, with her husband and dog, Ollie, a shaggy, 15-pound mess of love.
