    One happy, well rested family! We are so proud of our baby boy!
    Roxanne P.

    I don't even know where to start with this review! If I could give Balanced Sleep Co. 10 stars I would! I was referred to Nicole and her team through a mutual client she had helped out a few years back. I never thought I would need someone's support (other than my husband's support of course) to teach me how to make my 6 mos old son sleep. We had sleep trained our daughter just fine- using an old PDF file from a friend. But my son decided he didn't want to sleep train that way, and I found myself rocking and singing and feeding my baby to sleep for every nap and at bedtime. He had been waking up every 2-3.5 hours to feed to sleep like a newborn in the middle of the night! I WAS DESPERATE. I was beyond sleep deprived- if there is such a thing. I was a different person. My 5 year old daughter knew it/felt it, my poor husband could see that I just wasn't myself. After our first phone consultation with Nicole- we knew on the spot we wanted her/her team's help. We were paired up to work with Danielle. SHE IS AMAZING. The support she provided was exactly what we needed. It was another set of eyes to see what we may have been doing wrong and to pinpoint areas in our daily routine that can be affecting our son's quality of sleep/feedings! Danielle was patient, kind, supportive, VERY well informed, and quick to respond to our concerns and questions. She was practically our best friend for a few weeks! We felt comfortable with her plans for our son, and we were able to meet all of our goals by the end of our time together. We learned SO much about the importance of restorative sleep, full feedings, wake windows etc. I can't stress how supported we felt throughout this whole process. We were so sad to end our time with Danielle! Our group thread was fun! Haha! This was worth every penny we spent and I know we would do it again if we ever had to in the future. We have a happy baby that is sleeping through the night, goes down for his naps completely on his own, and is eating much more balanced/full meals. This in turn has allowed the WHOLE family to sleep better! We are forever grateful to Danielle! THANK YOU BALANCED SLEEP CO.!

    A sleeping baby.

    I am a new mom and tried to sleep train in the past but it didn't work due to my SO challenges with our LO crying (I sent him away). Our family was co sleeping or during contact naps for our LO. I took a big leap with Nicole and she was supportive throughout the whole process by call or text. My baby probably cried less that 2 hours over the two weeks I was with Nicole. The first night was the longest but my baby did well and made progress each day. I don't have to rock her to sleep or do contact naps. I highly recommend working with Nicole's company. Our family now has a schedule and is not trapped under a LO for hours at a time. If you are on the fence know that you will be supported throughout the whole process.

    I was referred to Nicole and balanced sleep from a friend who was a previous client when I had mentioned to her my current sleeping situation with my almost 6 month old son. Granted, he was born 2 months early so developmentally he was more like an almost 4 month old, so I was apprehensive on if sleep training would even work. However, I was desperate as I'm going back to work and knew there was nobody else in this world who would hold this baby for his naps in a pitch black room, with blaring white noise, for 1-2 hours, 4-5 times a day. And then add to that the battle of getting him to sleep every night on his own (lots of picking up/putting down/arm workouts). Anyways, Nicole had her partner Kadie take the lead as she specializes in younger babies sleep training and let me tell you, she is amazing. Are things perfect? No. Did it take a little longer than expected? Yes. BUT, Kadie's knowledge, support, and determination is unparalleled. She literally became my best friend for those 2 weeks. It was a lot of trial and error and there were times I felt hopeless, but Kadie's positivity and support kept me going and I'm forever thankful. I've learned SO much from both Kadie and Nicole, and now have a baby who happily goes to sleep in his own crib with no binky and no other crutches. Additionally, he's on a regular eating schedule and consumes enough calories during the day that he no longer wants/needs any night feedings. I cannot recommend Balanced Sleep enough, and I want everyone to know that despite how "difficult" your baby or situation may seem, they will figure him/her out while giving YOU endless support. If you've been stuck in the darkness (literally), do not hesitate to work with these girls! It is 100% worth every penny!

    WFH Mamas - it's possible!

    One of the best investments I ever made! As a new, first time mama I really tried my hardest to research all things sleep/wake needs for my daughter and tried to find a routine/schedule that best fit her needs. After 3.5 months, I realized I needed help! My daughter would not nap for longer than 30 minutes, and this was after 10-20 minutes of rocking/bouncing/etc. Safe to stay this was not sustainable for me especially once I returned to work. She also was staying in this overtired state and would quickly go from 0 to 100 in her mood. I knew I needed to provide an environment where she could get the rest she needed but I didn't know HOW to. After only 1 week working with Kadie, my daughter made AMAZING strides. She now has a flexible schedule we follow and takes 3 1.5-2hr naps in her own crib AND sleeps in her own room all night! We were also able to adjust my daughter's feeding schedule and now she can go 3-3.5 hrs in between feeds!! In addition to all of this, my daughter is happy and rested during her wake windows and I learned so much about her cries, cues, and how to respond accordingly. I really needed a hands on approach and Kadie was so attentive, responsive, and sensitive to not only my daughter's needs but mine as well. Sleep is tough work but SO rewarding once tackled. I recommend this to all of my friends and to any mama who is on the fence... don't wait! Just give them a call. From day 1, they answered so many questions in our FREE consultation call. Your baby is worth it!!

    When I first met with David, I felt seen and validated. I trusted the process fully. He asked me…read morenot to look up side effects before I committed to the treatment by paying the fee, so that my anxiety would not interfere. This seemed reasonable at the time, and I personally believe that David had good intentions. After I paid, I recall the conversation leaving me with the understanding that there weren't any side effects I needed to be concerned about. I am not saying he was intentionally dishonest, but I wish I had researched them myself. I developed severe side effects, including uncontrollable physical and cognitive anxiety, extreme daytime sleepiness, and altered visual perception. When I told David, he dismissed and invalidated my concerns, insisting that the symptoms had nothing to do with the treatment. When I asked why he had not informed me about possible side effects, he questioned why I hadn't looked up possible side effects myself and implied that it was my responsibility to do so. That response was profoundly unethical. As a mental health provider, it is his responsibility to disclose potential side effects, not the client's responsibility to guess them. Although neurofeedback is often advertised as non-invasive and side-effect-free, research shows that it can cause significant side effects. Neurofeedback changes brain function. Even if no current is being sent into the brain, the algorithm reinforces some brainwave states while discouraging others, which reshapes how the nervous system regulates itself. Side effects can include worsened anxiety, agitation, mood changes, and disrupted sleep because the brain is being trained away from its natural rhythms. This affects the entire body, as brainwave patterns influence the autonomic nervous system, hormones, and sleep cycles. Any provider who claims a treatment can significantly change brain function for the better but refuses to acknowledge that it can also cause harm is not appropriately trained in the science behind psychological treatments. My side effects left me terrified that my brain had been permanently altered, and I was left to face that alone. David refused to answer further questions until I mailed back the equipment, simply because I had expressed that I was upset. I returned it immediately and never intended to withhold it. Over time, I became suicidal due to the severity of the side effects. I want to be clear that I am not saying David caused me to feel suicidal. However, he failed to fulfill his ethical duty of care and did not show empathy or accountability when I was in distress. When I later consulted licensed neurofeedback doctors, they confirmed that I was experiencing acute side effects from the treatment. After three months and intensive mental health care, my symptoms began to fade, and I am doing well now. This was a traumatic experience, not because neurofeedback itself is inherently harmful, but because of the lack of transparency and support I received on top of the strength of the side effects I was experiencing. David may have followed the technical steps correctly, but he failed to inform me of the risks and treated me with deep disrespect once I raised concerns. If you decide to pursue neurofeedback, please research thoroughly and choose a provider who will treat you with respect, transparency, and empathy and who will openly discuss both benefits and risks.

    This company is a fraud. I signed up for the sleep recovery program a month ago. The first four…read moresessions was $600 and I was told by the owner that if the first two or so didn't work, he'll refund my money. Prior to our first meeting, I talked to my doctor and we realize that there's a possibility that because of my type two diabetes and whatever snacks I'm eating before I go to sleep that that might be affecting my sleep more than anything else, having to get up to use the bathroom at three in the morning could be the issue. The owner of the company did not ask me any questions about my medical history, so when I told him about it in the second session, he got upset with me. This sleep recovery program is not based in any type of science, and it was pretty interesting that the guy will get mad at me after my Doctor, WHO IS A DOCTOR AND BASES HIS FINDINGS ON SCIENCE, told me that it could be something else. This company is a money grab. Playing music on a laptop, with electrodes on your head? No refund was given. I am also a retired firefighter dealing with PTSD and taken advantage of? This is not based in science BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY.

Ayoub, MD's office have been marked by extreme delays, cancellations, and a complete lack of reliability when it comes to patient care. In 2022, I waited several months for an appointment, spent over two hours in the office, and never saw the doctor. I had to start the entire process over--waiting again for new insurance approvals just to see someone else. Now in 2025, my insurance once again referred me to Dr. Ayoub's office for breathing issues. I was told it would take three months to see the doctor, but that I could see the nurse practitioner sooner--about a month out. I rearranged my work schedule for that visit, only to get a same-day call canceling the appointment due to an "emergency." Based on my past experience and the many similar reviews, it's clear this office is consistently overbooked and poorly managed. This isn't just inconvenient--it's dangerous. Every cancellation forces me back through insurance approvals and delays care I urgently need. If you value your health and your peace of mind, find another provider.

I waited over two hours without ever being seen. Despite repeatedly asking the staff when I would be called, I kept being told "a little bit longer." To make matters worse, I later realized that patients who arrived after me were being seen first--simply because they were returning patients. The office staff was extremely unprofessional and dismissive. They completely ignored the stress I was under and offered no communication or empathy. When I asked to speak with the doctor, he never came out to acknowledge me--not even a quick word to explain or apologize. Instead, the office manager took me outside, and instead of trying to help, she simply opened the door as if to push me out. This entire experience left me feeling disrespected, ignored, and mistreated. A doctor's office should value every patient's time and well-being, especially first-time patients who waited months for care. Unfortunately, this office showed me the exact opposite. I would strongly caution others about scheduling here. Professionalism, respect, and basic patient care were completely absent in my experience.

I had really high hopes and was super excited to work with Danielle after the initial consultation. I had only booked 2 weeks of coaching which was $400. The services guide that was given to me says 24/7 support via phone, text, or email. I understand not responding to 4 AM texts but there were days that went by where I wouldn't hear a peep from Danielle. She pretty much ghosted us after week one. About 2 weeks after the initial two week contract, I received a phone call from Danielle apologizing, which I appreciated; however, I would've preferred upfront communication instead of feeling like I got scammed out of $400. She did offer to get my daughter in a good place for sleeping to make up for the fact that she was not really reachable during the two week contract but here we are again... a month and a half later and I haven't heard anything from her. No follow up or "how's your daughter doing with her sleep?" I've almost given up at this point because I still have a daughter who struggles with bedtime and still wakes at night, despite our best efforts and I'm out $400. Maybe she would be better when she's in person but I feel like the coaching package was a waste of money.
