Client Testimonials

After 16 months of cosleeping, I was ready to get back to my bed (and my partner!) and to more restful nights. However, we had no idea where to start with. So many books and so much conflicting advice all over Internet! We wanted things to change but didn't know how to proceed. Marcy was recommended to us by some friends and we have absolutely no regrets about hiring her!

Marcy was absolutely fantastic and generous! She built us a plan in line with our values and gave us all the tools and encouragement we needed. Our little guy now falls asleep on his own and sleeps through the night. Naps are way easier now too and are more consistent in duration and time.

Knowing she was by our sides and available made a huge difference. It gave us the confidence and motivation to stick to the plan despite a few harder nights. 

Thanks Marcy, we are where we wanted to be.

Your website starting things off, but our phone call was the deciding factor. You were so friendly and understanding. I loved when you said that we will be supporting our baby, and that you were there to support me/us. Not sure why but I guess that’s what I needed to hear the most!

I first reached out to Marcy because our 6.5 month old girl had been waking every 1-2 hours all night long for over two weeks and hadn’t taken her 3rd nap in over 2 months, though I tried my best every day. Her naps were usually only one 30-min nap followed by a one-hour nap - if I was lucky. She needed her sleep and so did I!

After working with Marcy, it feel like the fog had lifted!! The world looks a lot better and more joyful without heavy bags under your eyes. :-D We now have a baby that ‘sleeps through the night’, that knows how to settle herself to sleep, and most importantly, a baby that is happier!

Don’t hesitate to start this journey! I am horribly bad at asking for help when I need it, and I probably waited way too long to reach out. Having the whole family sleep again is everything!!

There are no words for how grateful and thankful we are to have been referred to Marcy . We were at our breaking point with new to me health issues and our 18 month old who wouldn’t sleep anywhere but with us on the couch. We hadn’t had one full nights sleep since he was born. My husband and I along with our girls 3 & 4 and of course 18 month old Luca were all on edge and miserable. 

Marcy felt like home as soon as we spoke. I knew she understood my anxiety’s around sleep and she acknowledged it every step of the way. We felt very comfortable with the plan she set in place and it was so comforting knowing if we had a question or we were having a rough night we could communicate with Marcy to make sure we were going forward in the right direction. 

I am soooo pleased to say Luca is now happy to go to bed . We stuck through the 2 weeks (a little longer as Luca got sick during training) but it was well worth it. Marcy made the difference in this process, her knowledge and guidance made this work. Knowing she was behind us during this process made this work. Luca is happy and thriving, the girls are happy that they have well-rested, more patient parents and my husband and I finally have our nights back! ​

I would recommend Marcy to everyone. Everyone needs Marcy in their lives. She is a true light and we will forever be grateful for her. 

I was nearing the end of my rope when I booked a consultation with Marcy. It seemed like as soon as we came to the 4 month mark our daughter's sleep changed completely and we weren’t sure where to start with sleep training. We had read so much about all the different strategies, but ultimately didn’t feel confident enough to begin the process on our own. We needed a guide, and that’s exactly what Marcy is!

She had a plan in place for us right away, and was checking in each day to talk about what worked well and what we could change to help Ella on her sleep journey. She helped a new mom at her lowest point stay strong and stick to the plan. Here we are just a few weeks later with a happier baby and a happier home overall now that everyone is getting more rest! Can’t say enough how grateful we are for Marcy :)

When I was having issues breastfeeding after my son got home from the NICU, I connected with Marcy, and I am so thankful we did. I had been to see a Lactation Consultant a couple of times so I knew there were no medical issues related to my breastfeeding, however, I could not get my son to latch properly. With Marcy's help and guidance, not only was I able to get him to latch, but she spent time teaching me and my fiancé various feeding positions which was also extremely helpful. She was also able to provide us with some information on timing of awake windows and daily naps schedules which was nice for me as a first time mom to have as a reference.

Marcy takes the time to get to know her clients and she genuinely cares about the whole family. She would go out of her way to check in with me during the week, and also to research new things for us to try. She is very knowledgeable and is able to offer her knowledge and experience without passing any judgements. If we decide to have another child, I would absolutely work with Marcy in the future!

With two weeks left in my maternity leave, we reached out to Marcy. Our 11 month old would only fall asleep nursing, napped for less then an hour at a time, and woke up frequently throughout the night (leading to co-sleeping and lots of kicking). If work and day-home were going to be successful, we needed help. Fast!

In less than two weeks, Marcy coached us to success. I was relieved to find out that I didn't have to stop nursing before we were ready but we did learn that our little one was very overtired. After working with Marcy, our boy slept 11 hours a night, plus 2+ hour naps during the day. Crazy! The tools given to us in those two weeks continue to play an important part in our parenting lives. At 2 years 3 months, we've just made the move into a big boy bed!!

Marcy brings a wealth of knowledge, experience & intuition into a space that needs it more than ever. We tried countless other techniques with limited success - She offers an approach completely unique and supportive to each parent and baby's needs - this was a deep confidence building exercise for my husband and I, and the growth & expansion we've received as parents from Marcy's guidance & program is beyond measure.

Our lives and relationship are enhanced & changed forever. Sleep has steeply improved for all of us, most importantly our baby, who has found a new confidence & independence of his own. He is content and happy in away we never witnessed before gently allowing him to learn how to self soothe. This has been an invaluable experience and program, and I would recommend Marcy to anyone needing grounded, wise & sound mentorship in the sleep & parental space. 

Marcy was my postpartum doula with my second child. I had struggled to breastfeed my first and was determined to do so with my second. Marcy's help, encouragement and advice was what made that possible. I honestly think I would have given up if it wasn't for her help. Her kind, gentle nature makes her absolutely perfect for this! 

Did you ever regret not meeting someone earlier? That’s what I have with Marcy. A friend of mine recommend her to us when we started to look pretty tired and desperate after 18 months of broken nights with our first born.
 
Marcy coached us and set us up with a sleep plan that worked very well for our family. A week later we were finally getting some rest. We had the energy again to enjoy being parents of our beautiful daughter.
 
The second time around I already reached out to Marcy when I was still pregnant. I wanted to make sure we weren’t going to have another 18 months of broken nights. She helped me establish a healthy sleep routine and my son learned how to fall asleep on his own so fast. He still is a good sleeper and it has made a world of difference.
 
Parenting is amazing and at times very challenging. Get all the help you can. Marcy is a great listener with so much experience in supporting parents. Whenever I have questions about sleep challenges I still reach out to her. She always knows the answers to our question and I feel very fortunate to have access to her help.

Working with Marcy was such a gift!  She was so attentive, caring, considerate and thoughtful during our time together.  I had underestimated how challenging and unpredictable my postpartum time was and I was SO GRATEFUL for Marcy's expertise. Not only is she skilled in assisting you with the baby's needs, but she also took care of ME.  Didn't matter if I needed help with feeding or changing my son, or giving me time to have a bath, no job was too big or small for her to handle.  She is patient, loving, and creates a safe space with no judgement.  She was there for me during my laughs (& tears) and my only regret was not booking more time with her.  You will be SO GLAD you did. 

Working with Marcy was one of the best early parenting decisions we ever made with both of our children. 

​Marcy brought calm, support and clarity to me in the throws of all the postpartum highs and lows. First with my son for sleep training (and all of the goodness that comes with everyone getting better quality sleep), and then with my daughter for postpartum support and encouragement. (It is amazing how quickly you forget everything you may have done the first/last time around, so it was really wonderful to have Marcy's guidance to find our way back to all of it.)

Marcy is one of the most genuine, giving, thoughtful people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She is such a peaceful and understanding presence - listening carefully always. Her empathy and understanding is outstanding - knowing that she 'gets it' provides an incredible peace of mind and support.

​Having Marcy come into our home to do whatever I needed in that moment was an incredible experience - whether I wanted to sit and talk while she held my baby, have a nap, or get out for some much needed alone time, she was always ready and willing. Having been through it myself, I now share the importance of taking good and careful care of a new Mother - she is always giving so much, and in those early days/weeks/months really and truly needs support so that everyone can thrive and enjoy all of the moments that are so fleeting.

The pandemic and stay-at-home orders turned all of our lives upside down. It was hard enough already for my husband and I to start working full-time from home, with our Ariana (2.5 y.o.) running underfoot. In addition, her sleep ‘quirks’, along with some lax rules and bad habits that had crept into her bedtime routine, were manageable when things were normal, but blew up when everything changed. After a month of chaos I desperately needed help before I went off the deep end.

​Enter Marcy. A business colleague (hi Shawna!!) had raved about her, so I was excited and relieved to have found someone.

The first few days were hard. Ari was not happy about the changes: sometimes she howled in protest, and other times she tried to con or boss her way out. I struggled to stick to the plan because I was so tired and frustrated. But Marcy made me understand the importance of: setting the rules; staying calm and in charge; and giving Ari love and comfort so she can fall asleep on her own.

​It took 10-12 days but little by little I started to see a whole new pattern emerge, and each little win motivated me to keep going. Ari’s night cries have stopped, and she now naps during the day (woohoo!!). The new bedtime routine has given me back some energy and time that had been sorely missing.

Marcy, I am so grateful to have your help and support. I couldn’t have done it without you...thank you!!
