I had the opportunity to work with Abbey right before the birth of my first child. We opted for for the "Childbirth + Newborn Care Private Class" in the comfort of our home and we were so THANKFUL that we did. Abbey's background as a labor and delivery nurse, and her personal experience as a mother of four, makes her incredibly knowledgable about the birthing process and the weeks/years that come after the arrival of your baby.

She talked us through what to expect and what decisions we may face as I was in active labor. We also got to discuss the (what I considered even more daunting) subject of what happens when we get our newborn baby home. Abbey walked us through swaddling techniques, common feeding/sleeping issues we may face, and so much more.

Not only is Abbey extremely knowledgable, she is also an incredibly kind and genuine person & teacher. My husband and I felt safe asking all the questions, talking about our fears, and sharing some of our most intimate feelings leading up to our birth. We left our time with Abbey feeling excited and prepared (as much as you can be) for our daughter's arrival.

If you are looking for a personalized, warm, educational, and FUN way to prepare for the birth of a child, I HIGHLY recommend Abbey Murray and Magnolia Families.

If you're on the fence, just do it! I promise your sleep and sanity are worth it. Abbey is incredibly knowledgeable and it is evident how much she cares. She went way above and beyond our expectations to help us. Our 7 month old was waking every 30 minutes all night long for over 3 months, and now he is sleeping 12-13 hours straight at night. She helped us tweak just a few things WITHOUT sleep training or crying it out and it has made the world of difference! We cannot thank Abbey enough.

We were having so much trouble with our second daughter, everything that worked for our first didn’t for our second. I am so glad we reached out to Abbey because our 7 mo old is now sleeping 10-12 hours a night every night!! Worth every penny!!

I will recommend Abbey over and over again. My husband and I thought that our 17 month old was going to be the one to break the system. We were pretty hopeless! He had been a bad sleeper from the start and we were running on fumes. Within three nights of our initial consultation with Abbey he was sleeping through the night-12+ hours! After a year and a half of interrupted sleep this felt like a miracle! And after three weeks we’re still going strong. He has developed a routine and it’s working beautifully. We could not have done this without Abbey’s help. Her method is different than anything I’ve ever read about, but every single thing she said would happen came true. We are believers and are so thankful for her help!

I couldn’t be more grateful for Abbey! After enjoying great sleep since she was an infant, our 3.5 year old had a difficult regression that resulted in multiple near-sleepless nights throughout the summer. Bedtime became more stressful, and she started to get out of bed regularly in the night, even when sleep deprived! All the methods we tried or had tried when she was a baby were not working, and articles/books only stressed me out more. I was relieved when a friend recommended Abbey, and we decided it was worth the investment for a new plan and additional support. Abbey did not disappoint! She is warm, non-judgmental, and kind, and talking with her normalized our concerns. She worked with us to develop a plan, and we were back on track in a matter of nights (and we are all happier!). I feel more confident and less anxious with bedtime, and I feel we now have a set of tools and principles that we can use for any other developmental changes we face in the future. Most importantly, our daughter is well-rested again and enjoying life as a 3 year old! I recommend Abbey fully!

As a first time mom, Abbey’s classes were essential in getting us ready for child birth with her labor and delivery experience and she later helped us sleep train our baby to sleep through the night giving us some much needed sleep! Abbey is down to earth and helps ease any fears or stressors you may be experiencing- highly recommend!!

Working with Abbey completely changed our sleep lives. My second was really struggling with the 4 month sleep regression, and Abbey helped us understand that not all babies are created equal so one size/schedule doesn't always fit all. She educated us on not only the how, but also the why, which made it so much easier for us and our sitters to buy in to the new normal. Abbey is so attentive and really makes you feel like she's walking through the journey with you. Could not recommend her enough!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with Abbey! I have a 4 year old son who has autism and has always struggled with sleep. We most recently were in a 5 week rut of not sleeping through the night, every single night… awake for hours. I came to Abbey totally hopeless and left with tools and confidence to help my son become an independent sleeper. Let me tell you… he was sleeping independently by night 3!! I am so so thankful for her expertise and guidance! Thank you, Abbey!
