About Me

Seattle Sleep Consultant, Seattle Doula

Hi there! I’m Abby, your backup support for all things baby! The transition to parenthood is full of excitement, unknowns, and challenges that you should not have to navigate alone. I uniquely offer a continuum of support through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and early parenthood so that you don’t need to seek out a new face for each stage. I want to make sure you feel encouraged and guided through every phase of this ever-changing time.

I live in Seattle, WA with my fiancé and our crazy dog, Griffey. I have been working as a nanny and childcare provider for nearly a decade and am SO PASSIONATE about the wellbeing of young children and equally as passionate about the wellbeing and confidence of their caregivers! Throughout my years in childcare I’ve worked with several wonderful families and have been exposed to various parenting styles, child personalities, and common struggles of new parenthood while assisting with this transition.

Due to the various services I offer I refer to myself as a “Parent Doula” and work hard to provide support to parents in personalized capacities during early parenthood and the time in which they are preparing for this transition. I offer my services in-person in the greater Seattle area and Eastside. The majority of my services are also available virtually to families living outside of this area. I strongly believe that the level of support and confidence a mother or father has is directly related to the optimal development and attachment of their child and am excited to help facilitate this through my services! Every parent deserves to feel capable and connected through such a vulnerable time. I can’t wait to help you and your baby thrive!

What parents are saying

  • “FROM THE MOMENT YOU MEET ABBY YOU CAN SEE HOW PERFECT SHE IS AS A “PARENT DOULA.” SHE IS CALM AND CARING WITH A WARM PRESENCE- THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT WHEN CARING FOR MOTHERS AND CHILDREN. ABBY LISTENS TO YOUR NEEDS AND QUESTIONS FIRST AND THEN IS ABLE TO PROVIDE ANSWERS AND SUPPORT THAT MAKE YOU FEEL HEARD AND ENCOURAGED. SHE IS VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT SHE DOES, AND IT SHOWS."

    -Charlotte Q.

  • "MY HUSBAND AND I WORKED WITH ABBY FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR, SHORTLY AFTER OUR FIRST CHILD WAS BORN. SHE WAS AN ENERGETIC, COMPASSIONATE, RESPONSIBLE, AND LOVING CAREGIVER WHO TRULY ENJOYS CHILDREN. ABBY COMES WITH A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE IN EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENTAL MILESTONES THAT WAS HELPFUL FOR US AS FIRST TIME PARENTS (AND ME DURING MY POSTPARTUM RECOVERY). ABOVE ALL ELSE, OUR YOUNG DAUGHTER WAS ALWAYS WELL CARED FOR, SAFE, AND HAPPY TO BE WITH ABBY AND WE WOULD RECOMMEND HER DOULA SERVICES TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL POSTPARTUM SUPPORT PERSON AS THEY NAVIGATE THE OVERWHELMING EARLY DAYS OF PARENTHOOD."

  • You often hear about labor and deliver doulas, but less often do you hear about a postpartum doula. As new parents, we found this to be exceptionally helpful while finding our daily rhythm as new parents. As a new mother, I found it to be the extra layer of support and care I needed to feel at peace amongst big change, while also physically healing from delivery. Abby is nurturing in her approach as a doula, and a resourceful wealth of knowledge. She leans in with compassion, she stays curious, and truly advocates for momma and baby. Abby never pushes agenda, she provides helpful insight and leaves you feeling understood. She is a treasure to have around and in your corner! You will find yourself parting with a new best friend as well.. ??
