Fiona
Fiona has 20+ years of experience helping people manage sleep patterns, fatigue, shiftwork, and work-life balance in many industry sectors including aviation, transport, mining, health, and manufacturing.

Her primary background is in occupational therapy where she has worked for Waitemata DHB and community services helping people with mental health problems, trauma and concussion, manage sleep and fatigue.

In 1995 she founded Shiftwork Services in order to combine scientific thinking about sleep and fatigue with practical know-how to create safer workplaces. Achieving fast and inspiring results, Fiona has successfully worked with many companies including MPI, Spark, NZ Blood, Port of Tauranga, Office Max, Fonterra, New Zealand Deference Force, and many others, teaching their staff the formula for a relaxing sleep.  Her work with Fonterra won the overall prize for well-being at the 2018 Safeguard awards.

Her book, Getting a Good Night’s Sleep, has sold over 10,000 copies and is available as a paperback, ebook and audiobook.

Fiona also contracts to Active + Pain and Concussion Services advising patients how to manage sleep and fatigue – and is part of a New Zealand Wide, Provider Network.
