Bio of Aly Dabbs:

Aly is a wife and mama to two wildly curious boys and lives in the Nashville, TN area. She

graduated from Centers of Pediatric Sleep Management in September 2023 as a Certified Sleep

Consultant. Aly hired a sleep consultant with her first born and saw firsthand the benefits of

teaching her baby to sleep independently. When pregnant with her second, Aly kept feeling this

pull to help other moms navigate a time that feels really, really hard and often isolating (aka –

motherhood!). Through working with families, watching her own toddler grow, and taking

continued education classes, Aly developed a LOVE for all things toddler sleep. It is Aly’s passion

to help exhausted toddler moms work through those BIG toddler emotions to get their child to

sleep through the night and in their own bed. Aly’s approach is to lead with love and take this

dreaded thing (bedtime) and turn it into something fun.

Since starting her business, Aly has learned a ton about networking with local businesses,

marketing herself on social media, and SUPER EXCITING – Becoming a published Children’s

Book Author.

Aly Dabbs’ new book summarizes the real-life struggles parents often face at bedtime while teaching children how SLEEP is good for their bodies! This is the powerful message author Aly Dabbs is promoting in her children’s book, Bedtime Hearts. Aly’s first book was published on July 22 nd , 2025, available now on amazon, and is an absolute work of love. It was ranked #1 on Amazon’s Hot New Releases AND made it to the Amazon’s Best Sellers list!
