​​​​​​​​Offering specialized support to new families is something that has always come naturally to Abbey. With over 20 years of infant feeding education and support, leadership with non-profit organizations, a medical background and 20 years working in childbirth support, you won't find a more knowledgeable doula in Tarrant County. Abbey has a broad range of experience and education in pregnancy, childbirth, and infant care and as a doula trainer. Abbey has 4 children and lives in Fort Worth. When she isn't working, you'll find her riding one of her bicycles or planning her next travel spot, living each day to the fullest.


Abbey also works part time for DFW Thermography as a Certified Clinical Thermographer.

​​How it began... Abbey became impassioned for supporting others during her own difficult transition into motherhood in 1996. Having very little support as a young mother left her feeling very lost and alone. She realized that there was a real lack of information and education for moms like her. She spent all her free time voraciously consuming any childbirth related information she could get her hands on.  In 1999 there were only 3 doulas in Fort Worth, and she hired one of them.  Despite doing everything right during pregnancy, she still did not get the birth she envisioned... however, the support she received and her active role in the decisions made during labor were so empowering she quickly made the decision to become certified as a doula. She now serves families with the same compassionate care she received so long ago. In 2010, despite a complex medical history, Abbey had a completely natural VBA3C in Denton, TX with the support of her family, a doula, and Dr. Fred Cummings, for whom she runs a Facebook fan page.

Over the last two decades, Abbey has absorbed a plethora of information on all subjects birth and baby. Her practice has expanded into other areas where she felt she could be helpful to families including infant feeding, sleep, and a broad range of parenting subjects. 

Abbey has a thirst for knowledge and passion for supporting others through the greatest transition in life, growing a family. She takes great pride in her work and brings great attention to detail and confidence along with her. She has personally attended hundreds of deliveries in hospitals around DFW and has supported many families from diverse cultures and special situations including traveling families, surrogacy, lgbtq families, multiples, breech vaginal deliveries, VBAC, gentle cesarean, complications of childbirth, and stillbirth and bereavement support.

Abbey has 4 children (25, 22, 16 and 11) and lives in the hospital district of Fort Worth. She loves animals and travel, is an avid cyclist and mediocre runner.
