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.
