As a first-time mom and someone who really does not function well without sleep, postpartum was probably what I was most nervous about... (especially after having a necessary C-section!) I interviewed a couple different postpartum care teams and found the Newborn Dream Team immediately made me feel at ease.
The first few weeks after giving birth were honestly a lot. Between recovering from my C-section, figuring out life with a newborn, and not having family in town, I was much more anxious and overwhelmed than I expected to be. I cannot thank Danielle, Pamela and Abbey enough for being there for us during that time.
They were so helpful in those early weeks, not only with the baby, but with helping us figure out what worked for our family. They answered all of my questions, gave me reassurance when I needed it, and helped me feel more relaxed and confident as a new mom without ever making me feel like I didn't know what I was doing.
I was breastfeeding, and they were so supportive of that while also helping us introduce a bottle. They always let us lead with what we felt most comfortable with and never made us feel pressured to do things a certain way. And honestly, being able to get some much-needed sleep knowing our baby was safe and in such good hands was *priceless.*
They also helped us establish a really great routine and healthy sleep habits, and our baby was sleeping through the night by five weeks!
We will miss Danielle and Pamela SO much, but it makes me so happy knowing they're always in our corner. I truly cannot recommend Newborn Dream Team enough. They made those first few weeks so much easier and more enjoyable, and I am so grateful we found them. 🤍

We have had the best experience with The Newborn Dream Team, truly a game changer for our family with two of our boys.
They are so knowledgeable, supportive, and make everything feel manageable during those overwhelming newborn stages. A special shoutout to Bonnie, she is amazing! Her calm approach and expertise helped us so much with feeding and sleep, and gave us so much confidence as parents.
We are so grateful for her and this team and would recommend them to anyone!!
— Emily Owens
Ummmm, Gamechanger. Bonnie came in and completely turned our situation around with our 6 month old son - He was waking up every 2-3 hours at night and taking 20- 45 minute naps during the day. Now he's sleeping 11 1/2 to 12 hours per night-Every night-and 1.5 to 2 hour naps during the day. Bonnie is the baby whisperer. She was a joy to be around and we couldn't speak more highly of her and her team she has around her. They truly are special people and you can tell that they love what they do.
— Trey Freeze
If you’re reading this, you’re probably sleep deprived and ready to get some rest! Trust me, I was too. Our baby was 6 months when we decided to invest in Bonnie’s intensive sleep training plan, and it changed our lives - I’m not even kidding. We went from feeding our baby waking up every 2-3 hours at night and eating 3 oz bottles to him sleeping 11-12 hours through the night with no feeds. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering any sort of sleep training. Bonnie is the true baby whisperer.
— Carrie Stevenson
Bonnie was literally a life saver! Our 15 month old would only contact nap or sleep in our bed with us for months. We tried everything to get him to sleep in his crib but nothing worked. Since Bonnie came to our house, he literally falls asleep in his crib within 20 minutes and sleeps in his crib through the entire night. We cannot thank you enough!
— Amy Karaniewsky
Bonnie is a baby whisperer. I hired her for her sleep learning 3-day intensive for my 9 month old. Prior to Bonnie's help, my baby was struggling to fall asleep and stay asleep for any good stretch of time and was stuck in a terrible cycle of being overtired and not able to rest . This is my 3rd baby so not my first rodeo with sleep, but I could not get this one to sleep and stay asleep. We were co-sleeping, feeding all throughout the night, barely napping during the day, husband was sleeping in our guest room because baby was waking every couple hours at night and crying. We were all suffering due to the lack of quality sleep. Enter Bonnie. She worked her magic and was able to get baby to sleep independently in her crib, in her own room, and through the night! She got us on a schedule where baby was sleeping 11/12 hours at night and a 2-3hr nap during the day. I am still so amazed that this worked and that it only took 3 days. Bonnie also was able to determine that my baby did not need to feed during the night and was able to night ween her during her time with us. It has been over 2 months since Bonnie was here and baby has been sleeping consistently. It is truly the best investment we made and I wish we would have done it sooner. I also want to note that I was initially somewhat apprehensive about doing any kind of "sleep training" as I am against any type of "cry it out" method. I am very much a pro-attachment mother, I respond to my baby when she cries and it physically pains me when I hear her cry. That said, Bonnie's program was just what I needed because during the process I was still able to respond to my baby as I felt I needed to. There was only one time when I told Bonnie that I felt like I was letting her cry it out (beyond my comfort level) and Bonnie immediately said "okay lets go in and do a check-in!" Bonnie was there to coach me through it and I could be as hands on or hands off as I wanted during those 3 days. She essentially just set up a very simple framework for sleep and we have stuck to it with incredible results. I highly recommend Bonnie to anyone who is struggling with getting their baby to sleep. Sleep is so foundational! Thank you so much, Bonnie. Forever grateful for you.
— Leslie Dorchester
Bonnie changed our lives!! Our 7 month old (6 month adjusted age) would only do contact naps during the day, with all of those being cat naps for short periods. She was constantly overtired, and at night she would sleep in her Snoo for a few hours before waking up and refusing to sleep anywhere but with me, eating all night long. It was unsustainable and we were all exhausted. Every attempt we had made to put her in her crib had failed miserably. Bonnie came to do the 3 night sleep intensive with us and it was the best money we have ever spent. With minimal crying involved, she got our girl on a routine sleeping in her own room in her own crib for 2 naps during the day (each one being an hour and a half to two hours long), and night weaned her - so she is now sleeping from 7:30 PM-7:30AM every night with no overnight feeds! We are so relieved to not be nap trapped 24/7. It has given us back the gift of time (and sleep) and given our daughter the gift of sleep and a consistent schedule. She is so much happier now!! Bonnie also continued to help us trouble shoot as needed after leaving and after one week she is going down consistently with hardly a fuss!! Everyone who experienced the before and after of our baby is blown away. Bonnie is truly the baby whisperer - we cannot recommend her highly enough!!
— Lauren Williams Stuart
This review is for Bonnie's virtual sleep coaching for a toddler (age 2 years, 3 months). We decided to work with Bonnie after about 6 months of sleep struggles with our son. He was not falling asleep independently for nap or bedtime nor was he sleeping through the night. Bonnie tailored a schedule and strategies that worked for us. When it was time to execute the plan, she provided compassionate, timely and straightforward feedback and support.
I was hesitant to work with a sleep coach thinking I could do it by myself but I'm so glad I asked for help. I can confidently recommend Bonnie to anyone looking to improve their child's sleep and, in turn, their well-being.
— Amanda Hurtik
Bonnie truly is the kiddo sleep whisperer! She helped our 4 year old and now our 2.5 year old gain the confidence to sleep comfortably on their own. There were minimal tears, just a gentle but straightforward approach. It was the best gift for ourselves because we got our evenings back and feel more rested. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who’s thinking about getting help with sleep training.
— Swetha Veerapaneni
I was hooked when Bonnie said you have to do this once, I come with years of experience. My daughter is 8 months old and we tried multiple different sleep training techniques, none seemed to work. She was waking every 2 hours and needed to be nursed, rocked, or patted back to sleep, sometimes all three. My husband and I were too tired to continue this. Bonnie comforted us, encouraged us, and provided us with a perfect plan for our family. She made sure it didn’t push what we were comfortable with and that it made sense for our family dynamic. I was shocked to see results night 1. A week later of consistency and my daughter is sleeping 12 hours without any need for external support. I promise I used to be the one reading reviews for sleep consultants, 2 am ChatGPT-ing it up, but here I am sleeping 12 hour nights right alongside my baby. This can be you! Bonnie is the best and I cannot recommend her enough. She is understanding, energetic, and most of all super encouraging during the whole process.
— Anna Ateek
This sleep training service was a lifesaver! As new parents, we were struggling with our baby’s sleep, but the personalized plan gave us clear, gentle strategies that worked quickly. Our baby is sleeping better, and we’re finally getting the rest we need. Abbey and her team was supportive, knowledgeable, and always there to offer guidance. Highly recommend it to any parents dealing with newborn sleep issues!
— Marwa Khan
We are incredibly grateful for the care and compassion the Newborn Dream Team provided. They gave us peace of mind and allowed us to rest, knowing our loved one was in the best hands. We cannot recommend highly enough.
— Sarah Hopkins
We had an amazing experience with The Newborn Dream Team! As first-time parents, we were overwhelmed and exhausted, but their support made all the difference. We had the unexpected pleasure of getting to know most of the team and I can confidently say they were all warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. They made us feel completely at ease and gave us the peace of mind (and sleep!) we desperately needed as new parents. Thanks to Bonnie, Danielle, Megan, and Abbey, our baby was always in gentle, capable hands, and they helped us establish a great sleep routine. Highly recommend their services to any new parents!
— Haden Santa Maria
Bonnie is the sleep fairy godmother. My 5 month old baby would wake multiple times a night and her sleeping in the day was no better. After 3 days and nights that Bonnie stayed with us, her calm, gentle and encouraging approach led to my baby sleeping through the night as well as longer day naps. Bonnie is a warm, kind hearted person who just has a way with babies. Bonnie is professional and her ongoing support after her time with us is invaluable. I would highly recommend Bonnie. She is amazing.
— Cheri
Bonnie is amazing! She sleep trained my almost 1 year old baby in a gentle and caring way. My baby was waking up every couple of hours and nursing/taking up to 16 oz of milk a night. Last night was my first night alone after 3 nights with Bonnie and my baby slept almost 12 hours and never required any support from me to fall back asleep. She explained everything to me very thoroughly and I was amazed that everything she said was true! 5 stars, highly recommend Bonnie! My baby is so much happier now that she is well rested (and so am I)!
— Heidi Tomlinson
Updating review for 2025:
Our son slept wonderfully thanks to Bonnie until he turned 3. That’s when everything went out the window for him, but luckily we re-hired Bonnie and he is back on track. Her knowledge runs so deep, but on top of that, she makes you feel seen and heard, and doesn’t shame you. She gives practical advice to keep the sleep going and quite frankly, I don’t know how I would have made it through the last few weeks without her!
Before we hired Under the Moon, our son was not sleeping for more than a couple of hours at a time. We would wake up angry, and the only consolation was nursing and holding. It had been like this for seven months and simply was not sustainable anymore. We all needed more sleep, especially Bennett, who was barely clocking 8 hours total with all of his “naps” from night to morning, even with sleeping in our bed, and daytime naps were spotty. But after Bonnie came into the picture, everything changed! We did the 3-day sleep intensive and our son is sleeping 11+ hours at night and takes two solid naps each day. We couldn’t be more grateful. Bonnie is absolutely amazing and was such a joy to have in our home - I actually miss having her! She was a huge help during the day and night, in addition to the sleep, so that my husband and I were able to enjoy a couple of dates! We 100% recommend Under the Moon!
— Amanda Polk
I cannot recommend Bonnie enough! From the moment she met our 3.5-year-old, there was an instant connection. She truly understood our child's unique needs and met her exactly where she was in terms of sleep habits. The plan she created for us was not only clear and realistic, but also sustainable.
The communication throughout the entire process was outstanding. She was always responsive, answering all of our questions and offering advice tailored to our specific situation.
Thanks to her, our child is sleeping through the night with no wake ups, and we finally have our sleep back. If you’re looking for someone who can work wonders, I wholeheartedly recommend Bonnie and her team.
— Bridget Manuel
I can’t recommend Bonnie enough. Not only is she highly qualified and trained in what she does but clearly loves working with newborns. I immediately felt at ease knowing my daughter was in the best hands. My husband and I hired a night nanny to get sleep in the early newborn days (a priceless gift) but Bonnie gave us much more than we expected. She provided great coaching on supporting our daughter to sleep in her crib and initiating a bedtime routine. My 8 week old now naps in her crib and goes down for bedtime at 7 pm- two things I wouldn’t have dreamed of with my first daughter at such a young age.
— Abby Yost
Omg, WE LOVE Bonnie! She will be forever Family and I don't know what I would have done without her love, help and guidance. I loved having her company and she taught us so much on care for our baby.
— Adrianne Huff Holland
If you're reading the reviews, that means you're wondering if you should contact them. Yes, do it, contact them. Sleep is in your future. Our son had some major health issues causing him to be hospitalized from weeks 10-12 of his life and it absolutely rocked what little bit of sleep foundation we had been laying. Once home from the hospital, he was nursing all night and waking almost every hour after almost every sleep cycle looking to nurse to fall back asleep. Every nap during the day was a contact nap. We knew we needed in person hands on support to get our sleep independence back. When he was 4.5 months old, Bonnie came to our home for the intensive sleep sessions and it was the best money we've ever spent. She fully explained her process and during it she was not only helping our baby but also supported our anxieties around the process. In only 3 nights/days, Bonnie left us with a baby who can sleep in his own crib during all naps and at night time. He's sleeping around 11 hours a night and is doing so well. Bonnie is truly a baby whisperer and I would recommend her to any and everyone.
— Whitney Myers
We recently worked with Bonnie for a sleep learning intensive where she came to our house for 3 days straight and helped us sleep train our 5 month old for nights and naps. I was skeptical at first about being able to do both at the same time. And nervous about how it was all going to go. I had nothing to be worried about! Bonnie’s service has helped us ensure we have a well rested baby and we are in turn well rested ourselves. I also really liked that she used an app to make real time updates on sleep including detailed notes of what was going on. She also let me use it for a few weeks after so she could follow along and I could ask questions and ensure we were staying on track even after she left. This was the best money spent related to baby so far. Within one day she was putting herself to sleep for both nights and naps and within a few days it involved a low amount of crying. Within a couple of weeks we stopped having false starts and waking up during naps (and even leading up to that it was only a couple of times in those few weeks). Our baby now has a very solid routine and sleep thanks to everything we learned from Bonnie during those 3 days but also since. She made herself available for follow up questions which was also super helpful. She even helped us figure out we were ready for two naps and gave us the confidence to make the change. And she gave me advice on how to handle a trip with a time zone change. I was happy to report back that sleep went just as smooth on the trip as it did at home! If we have a second baby I likely would engage Bonnie again for her help because it’s just so much better having the support instead of doing it all yourself. I am so glad I found this team!
— Heather Robison
We hired Under the Moon to help with our newborn daughter, we knew that with an 18 month old and a baby we were going to be tight on sleep! Rikki was absolutely fantastic and took such wonderful care of our girl. Getting that extra sleep made ALL the difference in navigating my week and knowing that I was able to leave my baby in great hands was a must. Rikki felt like having a best friend come give you some extra hands and we loved seeing her!! Abbey was also so great to work with and the whole team made me feel like I wasn’t alone in this new stage. 10/10 recommend!!
— Carter Ann Gordon
I can’t say enough wonderful things about our Doula at Under the Moon. Bonnie was our primary doula and she is everything and more you would want in a doula and a friend. I’m somewhat of a germaphobe and my baby is my first (and probably only) and I was so worried about everything with him. Bonnie put my mind at ease, she is very aware of of good practices in reducing any transmission of illness and so she washed her hands before working with my baby, she used a mask at the time, and she is a family person that does not get ill frequently herself so my baby was healthy the whole time she worked with us—close to a year—we couldn’t let her go lol.
She is also incredibly kind and knowledgeable. She not only cared for my baby but she also helped me so much to get through that difficult post partum period. She is a good person through and through and I just feel blessed that we were able to work with her and she is still such a good friend to me. Abbey, who also works at Under the Moon would check in with us weekly and that really made us feel that we weren’t just clients but that we were people they cared about. I don’t know what I would have done without Under the Moon. Thank you!!
— annmarie9
Bonnie was a life and sanity-saver in April 2020 through December 2020. Grandparents were all staying mostly away through the beginning of the pandemic, so all my newborn care plans were thrown into pandemic-disaster-land. My husband was working at the hospital and I thought I could handle a newborn on my own. Boy was I wrong; everything I learned in med school about babies and their care was NOTHING compared with what Bonnie taught us about caring for our son. Thank you sooooo much!
— Kira Haydon
Under the Moon is, without question, the best night nanny (+!) option in the metroplex. My wife and I are both meticulous, data driven people. We did our research and completed interviews with a number of the different service providers. Abbey, Bonnie, and team were by far our top choice.
They are warm, focused, and attentive. They listened to our concerns and questions and responded with thoughtful suggestions/programs.
It is SO clear this is their passion. They not only want to make sure each family gets a little help/rest for a night, but are also excited to help each family reach their specific goals.
My wife and I needed to be back at work in 3 months, so it was critical that our little one was sleeping through the night by then as best he could. BUT we also did not want it to be a traumatic experience for him (no crying all night please!). We made our goals clear from the beginning, and did our best to follow all their directions. One and a half weeks before he was 3 months old he was sleeping through the night!
Bonnie is 100% Aunt Bonnie at our house, and love that she is still available for questions and sharing updates!
— George Chevaillier
Bonnie, from Under the Moon Baby, is a magician. Our 3 month old refused to take the bottle and was waking up to nurse every hour at night. In just 1 week, she is sleep trained/learned, gets fed just once at night, and can take the bottle happily. We are so incredibly lucky to have had them in this difficult journey!
— Laila Malani Mohammad
If you are on the fence about hiring a night nanny to help with your newborn...do it! And be sure to hire Abbey and Bonnie! I was not so sure we could afford it, or if it would be weird having someone else in the house to care for our son while we were sleeping, but it was worth every penny, and Abbey and Bonnie were so professional and knowledgeable, they immediately put us at ease. We had no family in the area to help us after our son was born, and I had to go back to work just a few weeks later, so getting sleep was critical...and because of Abbey and Bonnie, we were able to manage. I am so incredibly grateful for their help.
As first-time parents, there were many things we had no clue about...and both Abbey and Bonnie were wonderful resources for us. I felt like we could ask them anything and they would give us great advice (without being judgmental, which was appreciated). They helped us navigate cloth diapering, bottle feeding and formula, swaddling...everything. Best of all, Abbey helped us with sleep training, and by the time he was 3 months old, our son was (for the most part) sleeping through the night...and he has been a reliable sleeper ever since.
I honestly don't know what we would have done without Abbey and Bonnie. They helped us through a wonderful and challenging time in our lives. I highly recommend them.
— Caroline Krejci
I cannot say enough kind words about this group of women. I also cannot give enough "Thank You's." I reached out for their assistance with my second born as I had PPD with my firstborn and wanted to mitigate some of the issues right off the bat (e.g., sleeplessness, breastfeeding troubles, colic, etc.). These women helped me with all of that plus more. They were knowledgeable, kind, patient, and just an overall comfort. I love them all and recommend them to help you and your little ones. Bonnie and Abbey, you ladies are rockstars!
— Desiree Tennison
Had a great experience with Abbey and Bonnie! Not only did they help us catch up on some seriously needed sleep, but they helped our son get on track with sleeping. He was hooked on his SnuggleMe mattress and swaddle, and sleeping (or not sleeping) in a bassinet next to our bed when they started with us, and by the time we were done working with them he was sleeping in his own room in his crib without a swaddle and with way fewer night wakings! We felt very comfortable straight off the bat with having them in our home at night and leaving our precious restless boy in their care, to the point that we had better days when we knew they'd be helping out that night. If we had it in the budget, we'd keep the night visits going indefinitely, but at least we were able to buy enough time that we feel more confident and prepared to go at it alone now. Thanks for everything, ladies!
— Laura Hartford
Let me just say that our experience with Under the Moon was exceptional. We had tried to find a sleep consultant that would help with our 5 month old. We were told by several companies that they could give us material to help but we should be able to correct her sleep ourselves. I was so exhausted (emotionally and physically) because our daughter was refusing to sleep unless someone was holding her (her sleep got extremely messed up after she had RSV and double ear infection). we needed help and were not finding anyone. Finally we were told about Under the Moon and honestly they were a godsend. Abbey responded right away and got us in contact with Bonnie. Bonnie is honestly like our own version of Mary Poppins. She worked her magic on our baby girl. She made us feel so comfortable with her methods. In two days our baby was sleeping well and after our last day of consulting we felt confident and had a 5 month old who was finally able to sleep. Happy baby and happy parents! Bonnie was able to troubleshoot any issues we had and made herself available to help my mom (who takes care of our daughter while I'm working) to make sure we were all on the same page. I cannot speak more highly of Bonnie, even our 2.5 year old son asks us when his new friend Bonnie is coming back over. We were not aware of Under the Moon during our pregnancy but sure wish we had known about them and all of the wonderful services they provide during our pregnancy. Bonnie you were our lifesaver!
— Stephanie Cain
She is one of the best here at Fort Worth Birthing & Wellness Center. Noting but good vibes and good results. I highly recommend this group for an easier birth
— VERA BENNETT
I hired Abbey and Megan as postpartum doulas. Their expertise is invaluable. Abbey taught me how to dress my newborn for bed, how to arrange lights, how to bathe her. Most importantly Abbey discovered my daughter
S lip tie which saved my nursing experience. She encouraged me those initial days and did my belly binding which helped me snap back into shape. Megan is a world of fun. She learnt to cook Indian food and taught me some American dishes. She is amazing with my daughter and always teaches and interacts with my child in the most fun way. Best present I could have gotten my child was her interaction with these fine women. Always prompt reply to texts and calls as well.
— sapna vasudevan
Fathers, Abbey is your easy button! I have general knowledge of many things but birth is not one of them. I decided to hire Abbey because I wanted an expert to guide us through this very important event in our lives. We did not experience anything that Abbey had not already encountered. She was the expert we needed by our side. I always say "you cannot put a price on peace of mind" and she provided that for me. Doctors and nurses come in and out of the hospital room, Abbey is there 100% of the time so at any moment a question or circumstance arises she is there. She also had an excellent relationship with the Harris Methodist hospital staff. Everyone seemed to know her and greeted her as if she was a member of their team.
The day my son was born, Abbey had another birth around 1 am, we came to the same hospital at 2am and my son was finally born after 9pm! I was astonished that she had ZERO sleep in over 24 hours and remained perfectly functional the entire time.
Thanks to Abbey, I made it through out the entire labor with out a curse word or anger towards me from the wife. What a success, all because I had the easy button - Abbey.
— Sam Garza
I would highly recommend Abbey and Megan for their doula services. We hired them for our first pregnancy in 2016. My husband is in the medical profession and we were working with a great group of midwives, but it was still worth it to have a doula. Abbey was so supportive throughout the entire labor and delivery process, from pain management during my contractions, to moving me into different positions once I had my epidural, and helping with encouragement and positions through the pushing process. She did not judge any of our decisions, but offered so much support and help for whatever we wanted. We also signed up for two post-partum daytime sessions, which Megan attended. These were as much help (if not more!) as having a doula in labor. After the sessions, I felt as relaxed as if I'd just been at a spa. Being able to take a guilt-free nap, and wake up to a cooked meal or folded laundry, and a fed/sleeping baby was so great, and helped me keep my sanity. Hiring a doula is an investment, but definitely worth the money if you can afford it! We would absolutely hire Abbey and Megan again if we have more children!
— Lucy Ives
AMAZING. I cannot imagine the birth of my first child without Abbey in the picture. She really knows her stuff and was absolutely wonderful from the moment I hired her. It was important to me to find a doula who would include my husband in the birth process, listen to our specific desires and give us realistic and helpful feedback; Abbey did a tremendous job with these things throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. During labor, Abbey had a gift for discerning what level of involvement was needed at different times, from peacefully massaging my back through contractions (she worked magic!), to squeezing my hand and giving me words of affirmation in the most painful parts of birth.
Abbey went above and beyond when it came to making sure she could attend my birth, even with an important out of town doula conference happening near my due date. In the very slim chance she couldn't make it, she arranged for me to meet with another wonderful doula who would be my backup and made sure I felt 100% comfortable with her. (Upon hiring her, Abbey had only missed one out of over 100 of her client's births in the past, if I remember correctly, which was due to unavoidable sickness and not wanting to get the mom/baby sick - I found this to be a pretty amazing track record!!) Thank goodness she was able to be at my birth, but she definitely had a secure plan in place in the small chance she couldn't. This made me feel safe and taken care of!
She was fun and easy to work with and was always just a text or call away. My husband and I quickly felt very comfortable with her and she made us feel like we'd known her for years. I'm so grateful for Abbey and her compassionate and loving presence in my pregnancy and birth!!! We LOVED her!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing doula who really cares about her clients.
— Gracie Piper
I just love Abbey! Last December I used Abbey as my doula for my son's birth and I was so happy at the hospital that she was there for me. So my birth story didn't go at all as I had planned at all, but what does? So I woke up at midnight back in December with my water breaking....I still had 3 weeks of pregnancy left...but labor never started on its own even after exhausting every attempt for a natural progression so 8 hours later I decided to try medication which finally got things started. I ended up getting a c-section after 18 hours of labor but still not progressing enough. So even though things didn't turn out like I planned with all my reading and preparing for a natural birth but with Abbey there with me all along I felt comfortable with the birth because I got to make all the decisions of what was happening and I didn't get pressured into anything. Having a doula even with a c-section was well worth it because I felt informed on what was happening with my son and what the benefits and risks there were for each decision. After coming home from the hospital I had a complete fright with my son and Abbey came over and helped me thru it...her next visit was wonderful since I was able to get some zzz' while she took care of my son and answered the million questions I had as a first time mom. If I have another baby again I would go back to Abbey in a heart beat!
— Brittany
We hired Abbey as our doula for the birth of my son in late 2014. She was amazing, and my husband and I were so grateful that she was with us during my pregnancy and the long two days of labor. She was there the whole time helping with breathing, stretching, walking, and anything else we could do to help the labor along. I ended up having to have a c-section, and she was there for the whole thing. She explained the procedures to us, helped document the delivery with pictures and videos, and helped with getting the baby latched on for the first feeding when we got back to the room. My husband and I definitely thought she was the best investment we made -- completely wonderful! I'll definitely have her as my doula again. I can't recommend her enough; you should definitely choose Abbey as your doula!
— Sarah Hutchison
We had Abby as our doula and we would definitly have her again. She is very grounded and we wished that we had done her birthing bootcamp class training as opposed to our midwife center. She gave us a lot of information on the process and what to expect. The birthing center we chose and later the hospital experience was not ideal. Abby was our saving grace. She was with us for over 24 hours. I remember her fighting for me when the nurses seemed too preoccupied with policies to help me. She was everything we expected and more. Like most women, giving birth was the hardest thing my body has ever gone through so my husband and I were very grateful to have her support. A doula's job is to give you strength and a voice when you don't think you have one and Abby was just that.
— Shaharzade Ebrahimi
Abbey was at my birth in 2014 and was such an amazing asset to our team. She just knew what to do and when to do it! I'd never give birth again without her there! Her professionalism and attention to detail is unmatched in the DFW area! You won't regret having her on your team!
— Megan Carr
I read a negative review about Abbey and it made me very sad as she was absolutely amazing during my birth! I dont know her personally but the type person she is I find all the negative things hard to believe. Abbey was extremely professional during our appointments before my birth. She showed my husband and I different stretches to do and gave me a pregnancy yoga/pilates type DVD. She also lent me an Elle tens unit to use during labor. We never did my postpartum checkup but I just let it go. I had text her but our schedules were kinda out of sync so she asked that I schedule the postpartum appointment online at her website. I never did ha so that was my fault! But I was doing awesome and didnt really need anything. As for the birth, she was great. She was there very quickly after I called her which I figured she would wait a bit, but I was so relieved when she walked through the door. My husband is a railroad conductor and was on train when I got to the hospital so it was great to have her support until he got there! She did a lot of counter pressure techniques to ease my contraction pain and she let me basically hug her the entire time until my husband arrived and swayed with me as that was the only way I could find comfort! Abbey was so great and I'd hire her again in a second!! I only wish I had found her sooner and had her at for my first birth!!
