🌿 Is your bedroom plant helping… or hurting your sleep?

Better sleep isn’t just about what you do before bed. It’s also about the environment you sleep in.

As a sleep expert and author of The Sleep Plan, I’m often asked how to create a bedroom that feels calm and restful. One simple place to start? Your plants.

My favourites are:

Snake Plant – Releases oxygen at night and is wonderfully easy to care for.

Peace Lily – Helps improve indoor air quality while bringing a beautiful sense of calm.

Lavender – Loved for its soothing scent and long associated with relaxation before bedtime.

Jasmine – A delicate fragrance that many people find calming in the evening.

Aloe Vera – Another easy-care plant that releases oxygen at night.

But here’s something many people don’t know…

Not every plant belongs in the bedroom. Some have strong fragrances, release pollen, or simply aren’t the best choice if you’re trying to create the most restful sleep environment.

Fresh flowers have always been one of my favourite ways to make a house feel like a home. A bouquet or even a single stem on my bedside table instantly makes me smile and reminds me to slow down.

Comment “PLANTS” below or send me a DM, and I’ll happily send you my list of the best bedroom plants, plus a few I’d keep out of the bedroom.

✨ My app THE SLEEP RESET is finally LIVE! ✨

I can’t believe I’m finally saying these words…

The Sleep Reset is now available on the App Store. 💤🤍

For over 10 years I’ve helped people sleep better, calm their nervous system, and find their way back to deep, restorative rest through my own methods and techniques.

So many of you have asked, “What can I do on my own between sessions?”

This is my answer.

Inside the app you’ll find 14 days of guided SOS resets, breathing exercises, nervous system techniques, and practical tools I’ve developed over the years to help you reset your body and mind.

Whether you’re lying awake at 2 a.m., feeling overwhelmed, struggling to switch off, or simply wanting to sleep even better, this app is for you.

Everything I create can be mixed and matched depending on your needs, or used completely on its own. Whether it’s the app, my book, my sessions, workshops, talks, or my sleep scent, each one is designed to support you in its own way, while also working beautifully together.

No matter if you’re struggling with sleep, want to understand sleep better, or simply want to optimize your sleep and well-being, there’s a place for you here.

It feels a little surreal to say this…

First came my sessions.
Then my workshops.
Then my talks.
Then my sleep scent No1.
Then my book The Sleep Plan.

And now… my app. The Sleep Reset.

Everything I create has one purpose: helping you sleep better, calm your nervous system, and live a happier, healthier life. Use one or more of my tools and know that I zm only a DM away.

Share it, download it, gift it to yourself or others 🫶
Let’s gooooo!

Summer has never looked this good. ☀️🤍
Find the link 🔗 in my profile. App is for 9+

Hi Beautiful Human,

I thought I’d pop in and introduce myself, as I’ve noticed so many new faces here lately. Welcome. I’m so incredibly happy you’re here.

I’m Christina Ribel.

First and foremost, I’m an open-hearted, caring person, the proud mamma of my son Charlie, an incredibly kind and beautiful human, and the loving wife of my amazing husband, Kalle, who is my biggest supporter and best friend.

Professionally, I’m a Sleep Expert, Reiki Therapist, Somatic Coach, Menopause Specialist, Nutritionist and Author, but more than anything, I’m passionate about helping people feel like themselves again.

For many years I’ve worked with people from all over the world who struggle with stress, poor sleep, burnout, anxiety, hormonal changes, chronic tension, or simply feeling disconnected from themselves.

My approach is different because I don’t believe there’s a one-size-fits-all solution.

I combine science with holistic healing, sleep coaching with nervous system regulation, somatic techniques, breathwork, Reiki, and face, scalp and jaw tension release. Every session is thoughtfully created around the person sitting in front of me.

I’m also the author of The Sleep Plan, where I share my own Sleep Plan Method, developed to help people improve their sleep naturally and create lasting habits for better health and happiness.

Originally Danish, I’ve been fortunate to live and work in the United States, Spain and Scandinavia. Today I divide my time between Marbella and wherever my clients need me.

Here on Instagram you’ll find honest conversations about sleep, health, menopause, nervous system regulation, travel, coffee, everyday life, family, and the little moments that make life feel lighter and more meaningful.

I’m so grateful you’re here. Thank you for following my journey. I can’t wait to follow yours too, connect with you, and share this space together.

Now I’d love to get to know you…

Where in the world are you reading this from, and what made you press the follow button?

With love and many knus knus (the Danish way of sending warm, heartfelt hugs),

Christina 🤍
