After reading book upon book and experimenting with schedules and different  bedtime routines, I contacted Debbie about my 1 year old's sleep issues (as recommended by a family member). My daughter was a night nurser and co-sleeper.  I was tired every day and the lack of routine was frustrating. I was ready to be  done with nursing (although I didn't really want to) because I thought that was  the only way to stop having Scarlet wake up at night. I had started the weaning  process and then once I spoke with Debbie and started her program I realized  that I could in fact still nurse my daughter and have her sleep through the  night. I couldn't believe how quickly Scarlet was able to put herself back to  sleep! I am elated that my family can have a good night's rest and I can  continue nursing. Debbie's method works and works quickly.

Thank you Debbie for  all your support! :)

Our son Ethan is a very active and curious little boy. After exhausting days  with him we hoped for relaxing nights but as the months passed, he continually woke up throughout the night until he was nine months old. To say that my husband and I were tired would be an understatement and the sleep deprivation was starting to affect us both physically and mentally. At times, even when Ethan would sleep, I would lie awake anticipating that he would wake up and I became a very anxious sleeper. It was horrible. We rarely felt rested and the joy of having a baby was shadowed by our day to day exhaustion.

When we contacted Debbie we were immediately relieved to learn that we weren't the only parents experiencing this. Debbie's kind and professional demeanor gave us a renewed hope that Ethan would sleep -we just had to follow her program and be consistent.
Even before day one I was excited to know that in a matter of days, my husband and I would be able to get our lives back on track again. We couldn't wait to get started.

By our fifth night on Debbies program, Ethan slept through the night and it felt as though the storm had lifted and things would be normal again. We were so greatful. Our only regret was that we didn't call Debbie sooner and when we have a second child we certainly won't make that mistake twice.

We can't thank Debbie enough - for her patience and reassurance that it would work out when we needed to hear it most. I won't say that it was easy hearing Ethan cry the first few nights but once he learned how to get himself to sleep, the long term gains far outweighed the initial difficulties.

Ethan has transformed from an overtired baby to a well rested one and both my husband and I feel amazing.
We've told many of our friends about Debbie and would recommend her services in a second.

Thank you Debbie, once again, for showing us that sleep doesn't have to be a thing of the past when you have a baby. We can't tell you how much we appreciate your guidance and look forward to working with you again.

You have to see it to believe, that’s the only thing I can say about the sleep nurturing program offered by Debbie.  I would have never believed it if I hadn’t witnessed its success not only in one, but two children.  My niece, Ava was born in January 2011 and with Debbie’s schedule and training was sleeping from 8pm to 7am at twelve weeks.

 After having one child that didn’t sleep through the night until six months, waking up every three hours, I was sure to get Debbie’s contact information ASAP once I found out I was having a baby in December 2011.  I was so eager to get started that I emailed Debbie when I was pregnant and set up an appointment even before Samantha was born.  As a second time mom, all the other jazz about having a baby was not so important.  I had been through it and knew that the only important thing for me was to have a happy, well adjusted baby and that meant a baby who would sleep well and be able to soothe herself.  So, at four weeks old, Debbie was over and set us on our path to what is now one of the best things I have ever done in my life.  Sam took to the newborn schedule right away…who knew you could put a newborn on a schedule, but you can, and it works.  Within three weeks she was sleeping from 10pm to 7am….again I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t experience it myself.  She is now three months and on a three nap schedule and sleeping from 8pm-7am, just like her cousin Ava.

If you are reading this it’s because you have already realized that sleep is the most important thing and the lack of it consumes you when you are a new parent.  So trust in the process because it doesn’t just happen overnight, but just know that things do get better and yes you can have an infant that sleeps through the night.   Debbie is the one who can get you there.
 

Thank you so much for all your coaching and support Debbie.

We reached out to Debbie when the first sleep company we hired went radio silent after several attempts to get help beyond the initial engagement. Like the true professional she is, Debbie stepped in. Not only did she help us establish a sound sleep routine that worked for our daughter, she empowered us with important knowledge about infant sleep which allowed us to make changes to the sleep routine as needed. This made us feel more confident about the process and the decisions we were making as first-time parents. I would highly recommend Debbie for anyone struggling with getting their little ones to have healthy sleep habits.
Thanks,

After working with Debbie for only a couple of days, the changes in our son's sleep patterns were amazing. He went from waking every 2 hours at night to sleeping 10 hours through the night, and from catching 20 min power naps during the day to taking hour-long naps. He's a happier baby and we're a happier family. Not only has Nathan learned to soothe himself back to sleep, I feel as though I have gained important skills to help him should he ever fall off the wagon in the future. Debbie's system and support throughout the process was invaluable. My only regret is that I didn't call her sooner! 
Cheers,
Dana 

Debbie's support and service is second to none. She taught me so much and gave me the confidence I needed to stay on track with healthy sleep habits and deal with adapting to different situations, especially to a busy family life. My son is an AMAZING sleeper and although it didn't come without some heart ache and dedication, we did it together, truly. She extended herself above and beyond when I needed her support most!  Her techniques made sense to me and they worked which is most important. Thanks Debbie!

We hired Debbie on referral from a friend and it was a great decision.  Our son was very colicky and had severe reflux in his first 5 months, consequently learning to fall asleep on us.  He was unable to self soothe, and was waking sometimes once and hour, into the 7th month and we desperately wanted to give him the skill of self soothing, and to get some sleep ourselves.  Debbie put us on a fairly strict feeding and napping schedule, and supported us while we gradually let him cry it out on her schedule to teach him to fall asleep independently.  The first night was tough and Debbie was helpful at 2am, 4am and 5am via phone, to support us in teaching him self soothing.  The second night he slept from 9pm until 6am, the longest stretch of sleep we'd gotten in 7 months by far.  He now gets put down awake, and occasionally cries, but more often hums or babbles himself to sleep.  He wakes occasionally in the night and falls back asleep independently, and naps are consistent now.  Many people comment that he is a much happier child as a result.  Debbie's guidance was invaluable to this process and she clarified that we're welcome to consult her in the future should things change, (teething, vacations, etc) as part of her service.  I have spoken to other parents who have used different sleep doulas to less success.  Debbie's methods ensure our son's success in terms of being properly fed and well napped in order to be able to sleep independently.  We are confident that this was the right step to provide him with the lifelong skill of self soothing and to be a happier and healthier child.    Jamie Camp


Our daughter started sleeping through the night at 2 1/2 months but that all changed around 7 months. She started waking up several times throughout the night and would only fall back to sleep if held and rocked. It got progressively worse, to the point where as soon as we would try to put her back down in her crib she would cry. She wanted to be held all the time. We tried letting her cry it out but gave into her crying within minutes. We were so desperate for sleep that we would bring her into bed with us; that was the only way she, and us would get any sleep. After several months of this behaviour, we knew something had to change. I searched on line and found Precious Moments Babeez. At first we were sceptical and weren't sure it could work but we took a chance and called Debbie. It was the best decision we ever made! Debbie put our daughter on a new daytime schedule and after 2 days she was sleeping 11 hours straight and taking 2 full 1-2 hour naps a day! We were amazed at how well it worked! Debbie was a great support and was available anytime we needed her. We would recommend her to others in a heartbeat! If you are having sleep issues with your little one pick up the phone and call Debbie! You will not be disappointed!
Thank you Debbie!

Debbie has done wonders for us! Our son James, at 11 months, had never slept through the night. Although he was pretty good at taking naps during the day - at night he would always wake up every 2-3 hours. Sometimes he would be awake for 2 hours - needing us to pat or stroke him back to sleep. We contacted Debbie who put together a schedule for us that meant less sleep time during the day and more sleep time at night. At first, I was not convinced that this would work as I had heard from many people and consultants that you should never wake a sleeping baby. However, I was at the point where I needed to be open about a new approach as nothing I had done so far worked (and I was exhausted). After changinig James's schedule and using Debbies approach, James was sleeping through the night within 4 days. He still gets up at night, but the important thing is that he is now able to get back to sleep by himself. Debbie - we appreciate all your help and thank you for staying in touch. This has not only been good sleep training for James - but for me too!


After debating for a couple of months whether to consult a Doula on sleep training, we finally decided to call Debbie late one night. She spoke to us for quite a while and offered some tips on how to make some immediate changes. We instantly felt comfortable with her and agreed to utilize her services. Debbie was extremely professional, compassionate and always responded promptly to all queries and concerns. Although we didn't think it was possible, our 4 1/2 month old baby girl finally slept her first full night! Now that she is sleep trained, we feel that we are no longer confined by her schedule. Thanks to Debbie, my husband, myself and baby are much more happier and wake up fully rested most mornings. The cost of Debbie's services were worth every penny! I recommend hiring her to anyone with a baby who is yearning a full night's sleep.S.S., Toronto, ON


I used Debbie's services for my 8 month old daughter.  We had not slept for more than 3 consecutive hours since she was born.  I found Debbie on the internet and contacted her when I was at the end of my rope.  She immediately reassured me that she could help and quickly established a plan.  Her schedule was easy to follow and very clearly laid out, and the sleep training was much easier than I thought it would be.  After only 2 nights of sleep training, my daughter sleeps through the night, every night!  She was immediately a happier baby, when she was finally rested.  Also, I now feel that I have the skills to get her back on track if her schedule varies.  Debbie is supportive and caring, but also strong.  She is very clear about what to do and when to do it, and leaves no room for doubt or confusion.  She never made me feel that my questions were stupid (even if they were!).  My only regret is that I didn't contact her sooner.  I would recommend her to anyone with a child who has  sleep difficulties."  Thanks Debbie!Dr. Victoria Avram


Like many new parents, we indulged our baby by rocking and soothing our son to sleep, and thus allowing our baby to develop some bad sleep habits.  Our ten month old was not able to be put in the crib awake and settle himself to sleep. He would take his daytime naps on our bed with mommy and cry whenever we would try to put him in the crib during the day.  In addition to this challenge, we were putting him to bed in the evening between 7:00-7:30 p.m. and he was waking up at 5:00 a.m. which was way too early for our day to start. Thanks to Debbie’s fabulous advice and expertise, we can now put our son in the crib awake and expect within a couple of minutes that he will be fast asleep.  By following Debbie’s scheduled program our son has learned to self –soothe himself, and has ultimately become a better sleeper. Not only is his morning rise time now between 6:15-6:45 a.m., but he appears to be showing us that he wants to go into his crib by pointing and motioning towards it. It’s amazing that after only three or four days, our son’s schedule and habits changed!  We are so thankful for Debbie’s kind demeanor, pleasant voice, and of course, her attention, support, and understanding of our son’s needs. As much as our son has gained positive sleep habits, we as parents, have also gained knowledge and understanding of sleep patterns and the importance of good sleep. We would definitely recommend Debbie to other parents experiencing sleep issues. There is no question that Debbie’s plan works and we are definitely looking forward to using Debbie’s method much sooner with our second child! Thanks so much Debbie!!!!! Audrey and Simon


Debbie, Words cannot thank you again for your support. The consultation you offered was wonderful. Not only was it in our budget but you offered us so many tips on how to manage a schedule and how to help us teach our babies good sleeping habits not to mention so many other useful tricks. Our family is so fortunate to have been able to spend time with you and learn how to start off on the right foot with our new babies. Before they were born, we were in a panic about how to manage them and still have time for ourselves and eachother. You have made having multiples a joy. The time we spend with them is wonderful and I am fortunate to get some sleep and even do some errands in between. Thank you so much for your help,  Jenny 


Hi Debbie, With just the few changes you suggested  and with strictly enforcing a schedule our lives have changed dramatically since we met you.  The girls are going to sleep with very little effort and are sleeping for longer durations.  Best of all when they are awake they are content as they are well rested little girls.  We never even had to let them cry it out.  As a result we actually have some time to oursleves for the first time since the girls came home.  I have even started tandem feeding by myself today and it was surprisingly easy.   We can't thank you enough for your suggestions and advice.  We will be sure to refer you to all of our friends with newborns and are happy to be a reference for you to prospective clients.  As my family can all attest to, our time with you was the best time ever spent!!!   As I know things can not always be this rosy I am so glad to know we have you as a reference when things get tough and just knowing we can come to you with our questions has been so reassuring.   Thanks again,  Sue
