“I hired Allie at The New Normal because I wanted my second child’s sleep habits to be different than my first child’s. This was my first time doing long distance consulting, so I didn’t know what to expect and I couldn’t be more pleased. Whenever I had questions, Allie gave me practical, concise and easy to follow advice. She helped me develop a clear cut routine that fit into our family’s lifestyle. Allie laid the groundwork for me to feel comfortable asking a wide range of parenting questions. She has the perfect balance of professionalism and motherhood experience. I would highly recommend her services to any of my friends or fellow co-workers.”

“I can’t sing Allie’s praises enough! Her knowledge and expertise are ever apparent, but it is her calming and caring, yet straightforward nature that I find so helpful and refreshing. Allie has guided me and my husband on everything from daily schedules, sleep training, nursing/pumping, starting solids, baby products & apparel, illness, traveling with a baby, and basically everything else in between (yes, I sent her a dirty diaper photo once). One thing that I especially appreciate as a new mom is that Allie has never made me feel like I am wasting her time, even for quick “is this normal?” questions. I never feel judged when getting advice and she truly helps to stifle that “mom guilt” that seems to creep up too often. To my family, Allie is priceless and I feel so fortunate to have her as a resource on this crazy journey. ”

“I am very deliberate when I spend money. Whatever the service, it must be saving me time, or be bringing me value, and The New Normal does both. I have been using Allie’s Consulting services since my child was born (a little over two years ago) and I can’t emphasize how much of a relief it is to have a trusted pediatric nurse practitioner within arms reach. With my husbands’ job, we move often and finding a local Pediatrician is one of my first concerns when reaching a new location. Having her as a resource for various concerns; when my little had a temp, an odd looking rash and even sleep schedule woes- is extremely valuable to me as a new mother. She eases every one of my worries with definable action steps. Being a mother herself, she is thorough, caring and most of all- understanding of our unique needs as a family. I highly recommended her consulting services to all my friends’ who are finding it difficult navigating their work life balance along with becoming parents.”

“Allie effortlessly strikes that balance of warmhearted pragmatism and always shines the light on the best path forward for all of my parenting questions. When you’re feeling like you’ve lost your mind and you have no idea what to do, she is a gentle guide back to sanity. She’s helped me with everything from breast-feeding, sleep-training, common colds, best baby products, to “is this serious? should I worry?” type-questions. Despite the fact that I live across the county from her, she’s consistently delivered insightful, experienced advice right when I needed it. It’s amazing how a quick phone call or series of emails can put your mind at ease and help you figure out the best course of action. Becoming a parent is an incredibly humbling, awe-inspiring, exhausting time and brings countless moments of uncertainty and worry. Sometimes you need to turn to someone who really knows what they’re talking about to give you solid, unbiased help (no offense to those other well-meaning advice-givers out there). Allie has been that person for me. She makes me feel confident as a mom because I know can turn to her when I need help.”

“You know how you have different friends to call for advice about particular topics? Well, Allie is your personal advice person for all things parenthood. Her warm and friendly demeanor puts you right at ease, while her knowledge and expertise helps you know that her advice is rock solid. In the midst of constant uncertainty as a parent, Allie helps make navigating the ‘Is this normal?’ or ‘What should I do?’ into something as easy as dialing a best friend. There is no ‘easy way’ in parenthood, but having a pediatric nurse practitioner in your tribe certainly helps!!”
