Transform Your Sleep Virtually Over Three Months
Virtual holistic sleep specialist support available by telemedicine or online consultation
Finally figure out what your body and mind need to sleep and rest
When you need comprehensive sleep support but can't come in person
I started offering virtual support because good sleep help shouldn't depend on where you live.
If you've been struggling with sleep and can't find practitioners in your area who really understand the complexity of what you're dealing with, this program brings the same thorough approach I use in my Boulder office to wherever you are.
Through virtual sessions, we can do comprehensive functional medicine work, identify your specific sleep pattern, and teach you breathwork techniques that actually work for your nervous system.
Why people seek virtual sleep support
This virtual approach is especially helpful if you're dealing with any of these frustrating patterns:
Trouble falling asleep - You might feel wired and tired at the same time, lying there knowing you're exhausted but unable to actually drift off, sometimes with anxiety making it even harder
Light or disrupted sleep - You may find yourself going in and out of very light sleep, feeling aware of everything around you instead of achieving that deep, restorative rest your body craves
Frequent nighttime waking - Waking up multiple times feeling like something is pulling you out of sleep, often with your mind immediately spinning
Early morning awakening - Finding yourself wide awake at 3 or 4am, sometimes spending hours trying to fall back asleep when you know you need more rest
Unrefreshing sleep - Waking up tired despite getting hours in bed, making it hard to function well throughout your day
Other concerning symptoms - Dealing with digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, or thyroid problems that seem connected to your sleep struggles
Each night of poor sleep affects your next day. Rather than waiting for things to get worse, taking the first step now means you're already on the path to better sleep.
Here's what I've learned about helping people remotely
After working with so many people struggling with sleep, I've noticed that their problems tend to follow certain patterns, each with specific underlying causes.
Your specific pattern matters. While virtual work is a bit different from having you in my office, I have most of the same tools available - comprehensive functional medicine testing, detailed health assessments, personalized protocols, and breathwork techniques that work specifically for your nervous system.
While we can't do acupuncture, if advised in your particular case, I can teach you acupressure techniques and other hands-on tools you can use at home. The functional medicine work is actually identical to what I do in person - we're looking at the same test results, addressing the same root causes. So is the breathwork, no limitation for the long distance work.
What I create for you is designed specifically for your body, your sleep pattern, and what's actually happening in your system. This isn't generic advice you could find anywhere.
Here's how we structure the three months together
Three sessions every month (9 sessions total) so we maintain consistent momentum and you're never left wondering what to do next
Sessions scheduled during the first 3 weeks of each month, with one week each month for you to integrate what we've learned and let the changes settle
Unlimited email support between sessions for questions, concerns, or just to check in on how things are going
Personalized protocols and practical tools that evolve as your sleep improves and we understand more about what your body needs
Clear guidance through your transformation - structured support that takes you step-by-step through the entire 90-day process
And here's something important - you don't need to follow this program perfectly to see results. Sleep healing isn't about adding another pressure to your already full life. Together, we'll find what works for your real life, not some idealized version of it.
Why a Holistic Approach to Sleep Healing
Either medications aren't helpful, or you'd like to heal your sleep so you don't have to be dependent on them
You want to look for the root cause so you can sleep well once and for all
You have other symptoms besides sleepless nights that you'd like to solve
You've tried many things and don't seem to figure out why you can't sleep well
If you're thinking "I've tried everything already," I understand that skepticism. The clients who see the most profound transformations often come to me after years of unsuccessful attempts with other approaches. What makes this different is that we're not treating generic 'insomnia' - we're addressing your unique sleep pattern, with your specific biology and life circumstances.
What people experience
-
Over the course of several treatments I've seen a tremendous improvement in my sleep, mood, energy and focus.
"I've been seeing Damiana for around 4 months now and my experience as a patient has been fantastic. Over the course of several treatments I've seen a tremendous improvement in my sleep, mood, energy and focus. Damiana is both a great listener and a knowledgeable teacher. Her thorough, kind approach has helped me to gain a sense of control over my sleep and my wellbeing. I absolutely would recommend her to others."

Over 6 months later, I am still happily sleeping through the night.
"It’s a simple story. I had insomnia for over 2 years… trying all sorts of remedies and meditations to no avail. Then I consulted with Dr. Corca. She tested my adrenal and hormone levels and recommended supplements tailored for me. Almost immediately, I was sleeping again. Over 6 months later, I am still happily sleeping through the night. Dr. Corca is so compassionate and competent, I will forever be grateful for her informed treatment!"

In just three months working with Damiana, I have completely cut medication out of my nightly routine...
"Damiana truly worked magic for me. I had been suffering from insomnia for 15 years and had resorted to daily sleep medication just to get a passable number of hours. In just three months working with Damiana, I have completely cut medication out of my nightly routine and am sleeping better than I was with the medication before. Now I have more energy, focus, and general enjoyment each and every day."

Using functional medicine assessment and testing to understand your sleep issues
Based on your health history and what we discover in our sessions, we create a testing plan to understand what's actually disrupting your sleep.
Primary testing focuses on the basics - checking your cortisol patterns and neurotransmitter levels to understand how your stress response and brain chemistry are affecting your sleep
Secondary testing digs deeper into what might be the root cause - whether it's digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, toxins, thyroid problems, or food sensitivities that are disrupting your sleep
I'll refer you to your primary care provider for basic blood work so your insurance covers that part of the testing
Herbs and supplements, sleep hygiene, lifestyle, and diet changes will be tailored to what we discover about your specific situation
20% discount on all supplements through our online dispensary to make quality supplements more affordable
Common tests I use depending on your specific needs:
Cortisol and adrenal testing
Neurotransmitter testing
Saliva and urine hormone testing
Stool testing
Organic Acid Test (OAT)
Assessing iron and ferritin levels
Pyrrole testing
Food sensitivities
Thyroid panels
Heavy metals testing
Mold testing
After we go through your health history and look at any previous test results, we'll create a plan that combines the right testing with practical changes that actually make sense for your life.
Breathwork: Teaching your nervous system to rest
Breathwork isn't just another technique to try—it's one of the most powerful tools I have for helping your nervous system feel safe enough to rest.
Much of what I teach is based on the Buteyko Breathwork Method, which focuses on how the way you breathe throughout the day directly affects your ability to sleep at night.
When deeper emotional patterns or stored trauma are affecting your sleep, we may also use Neurodynamic Breathwork - a powerful technique similar to holotropic breathwork that helps release what your body has been holding onto.
For many of my clients, breathwork becomes their favorite part of our program, a practice that brings immediate calm while building long-term resilience.
How Breathwork Changes Your Sleep:
Quiets your racing mind when thoughts keep spinning and won't let you settle down
Lowers stress hormones like cortisol that keep you feeling wired when you should be winding down
Activates your body's natural relaxation response - switching you out of fight-or-flight mode into rest-and-digest
Improves your sleep chemistry by supporting natural melatonin production without needing supplements
Creates a bridge between your busy day and restful night - something you can actually rely on
Your Personal Breathwork Journey Includes:
Personalized breathwork assessment to understand your unique breathing patterns and what your nervous system needs
Custom techniques matched to your specific sleep challenges and how your body responds
Guided audio recordings for both daytime stress management and nighttime sleep preparation
Virtual instruction so you learn the techniques properly and get the maximum benefit
Progressive techniques that develop as your nervous system becomes more resilient
Many clients tell me that breathwork becomes their "sleep sanctuary" - a reliable practice they can turn to whenever sleep feels elusive, whether at home or traveling.
How we work together over three months
Month 1: Discovery & Foundation
We figure out exactly what's happening: your complete sleep history, which of the five sleep types you are, and get the testing started to understand what's going on in your system
Create your initial approach based on what we can see right away about your particular challenges
Introduce basic breathwork techniques that start calming your nervous system right away
Month 2: Deepening & Integration
Work with your test results to create targeted supplement protocols and address what we've discovered
Advance your breathwork practices as your system becomes more responsive to the techniques
Fine-tune your approach based on how your body is responding to both the protocols and breathwork
Month 3: Solidifying & Sustaining
Continue developing your breathwork practice and fine-tune the techniques that work best for you
Repeat testing if needed to see how your body chemistry has changed
Solidify everything into a sustainable routine and prepare you to continue independently
These 3 months can offer a lot of relief, however, here is the honest truth: some people need more than three months to heal their sleep.
Usually by month three, you're seeing significant changes in your sleep, but if deeper work is needed, most people choose to continue because they can feel the momentum building. The goal is always to get you sleeping well on your own, but sometimes that takes a bit longer than three months. That can be completely normal for some people.
Ready to see if this approach makes sense for you?
I know this is a lot to consider, a 90-day commitment, virtual work, comprehensive testing. You might be thinking, 'This sounds thorough, but will it actually work for my situation?'
The only way to know is to talk. Let's have a conversation about what's been happening with your sleep and whether this approach feels right for your specific circumstances. No pressure, just clarity about whether we're a good fit to work together.
FAQs
How quickly will I see results?
Most people start noticing small improvements within the first few weeks - maybe falling asleep a bit easier or waking up less during the night. But the bigger changes, where you consistently wake up feeling rested, usually happen around week 6-8 as we implement what your testing revealed. Remember that your sleep issues didn't develop overnight, and sustainable healing happens in layers. The goal is lasting change, not just a temporary fix.
What if I have to miss a session?
If you need to reschedule a session, just give me 48-hours notice and we'll find another time within the same week. Your healing journey stays on track even when your schedule shifts. I understand that you have a real life with unexpected demands.
Will I need to purchase supplements?
Most protocols include some targeted supplements, but I focus on quality over quantity. Unlike approaches that recommend dozens of supplements, I identify the precise support your body needs based on your testing results. With your 20% discount, these high-quality supplements often cost less than many drugstore options and actually work because they're specifically chosen for your biochemistry.
Can I do this program if I'm currently taking sleep medication?
Absolutely. Many people start this work while using sleep medication. I never recommend stopping any prescription abruptly. If reducing medication is your goal, we create a gentle, supported path in coordination with your prescribing doctor. Many clients find they naturally need less medication as their sleep improves, but we go at your pace.
What happens after the 90 days?
By the end of our program, you'll have a clear understanding of your sleep patterns and the tools to maintain your improvements. Some clients choose to continue monthly check-ins, while others schedule quarterly follow-ups. The foundation we build together serves you for years to come, and you'll know how to get back on track if life throws you curveballs.
