Testimonials

We found Allie at a crazy time in our lives. I was trying to fit work back into my life after having been at home exclusively for 3 years. I was so worried about how my son, who is Highly Sensitive and prone to anxiety, would take to her. Not only did my kids fall in love with her, but she went above and beyond. She made him a sensory “calm down” box which my son loved, and she bought him books that helped explain his feelings. She put me at ease and I was so impressed that half the moms in my neighbourhood now use her services!

– Danielle Client since 2017, 2 and 3 years old

Allie has been an incredible support for our family since 2017. As an anxious and exhausted first-time mom, Allie was the first person we had ever left our baby with. Her expertise in child care and engagement was immediately apparent. With Allie’s support with care, we navigated sleep challenges, separation anxiety (for both baby, and me!), and later addressed challenging toddler behaviours like biting and hitting. Fast forward to 2020, Allie was present for the birth of our second child and continues to support us through our latest transitions. Allie’s support is always rooted in building strong emotional attachment, which is really important to us. In short, our children absolutely adore Allie and our family life is infinitely better thanks to her services.

– Kyla Makela Client since 2017, 9 month old / newborn (2020)

Our family was so happy that we took the plunge to try something new for our children. Both of our children completed Developmental Assessments and accompanying support with Allie. The reports helped us understand our children a bit better and helped us parent them based on their needs and their developmental levels. The research provided and the additional resources was exceptional! If you’re tired of reading parenting books that don’t apply to your children then this is the route to go. Highly worth it!

– Heather Client since 2020, 4 year old & 2 year old

Allie has been a fabulous person in our lives. Her compassion, understanding and intuition with my son is unmatched and I am so excited to see her being able to share her amazing skills and support with new families. Also, she is magic at helping babies sleep! Magic!!!
