i know your struggle
You're exhausted by the advice overload and struggling to determine what's right for you.
You find yourself lost in a sea of opinions about breast vs. bottle-feeding

You feel guilty or frustrated with parenting expectations from friends or family
I am so insanely grateful for Tori's unparalleled baby-wisdom, sweet spirit, and calming presence in our home while managing the crazy journey in being new parents! I'm honestly not sure how we would've managed those early days where I was on little sleep and tackling the endless behavior shifts, sleep regressions and overall overwhelm without her. Not only does she give you tips and helpful information that you might not find anywhere else, but she just helps you feel confident as a new parent (and she organizes things in ways that would put Marie Kondo to shame!!). I tell all of my friends to hire her- for a day, a night, or a season- she's been such a gift to our family and has in so many ways become a part of it! We just adore her- and you will too!

When our baby was about 3 weeks, Tori started helping us multiple times a week and she was an absolute dream. She was beyond wonderful with our little one - so loving, calm and great with any specific directions we provided. Along with being great with our baby, she was incredibly reliable - which was huge given how much we were juggling those first few months with so little sleep.
We never had to worry about her being late or being unavailable. Lastly - she's just and incredible person with the best energy. We felt so lucky to be supported by her during such a impactful time for our family.

FOURTH TIME MOM
I am immensely grateful for Tori's support during my c-section, especially considering the short notice. Her willingness to jump right in and support me was nothing short of a miracle (seriously). I was so far from being mentally prepared for this- my husband wasn't able to make the birth last minute. Even so, I found comfort in Tori's extremely caring, loving, and compassionate presence. She played a huge role in easing my anxiety and making this experience more bearable. Thank you for being my guardian angel, Tori!!!

FIFTH TIME MOM
We had a very positive experience welcoming Tori into our home. She was our overnight doula in December '22. Our son was only a month old at the time and not sleeping very well. Tori came in and showed us a night time routine to promote restful sleep. It worked very well and he is still a wonderful sleeper! Tori is very caring, non-judgmental, and observant. She always had good advice and feedback to provide. I would definitely have her in our home again and recommend her services to everyone.

Tori is the BEST birth photographer, hands down. My experience working with Tori was amazing. In our hospital room I had my birth doula, my mom, my husband and Tori. Honestly, I didn’t even realize she was in the room. Like a fly on the wall, she captured everything beautifully. Tori stayed an hour after I gave birth to capture our family’s reactions to the new baby. She even made a surprise birth video (to which I CRIED because of how AMAZING it came out). You will love working with her!! Her energy is so calm and supportive. She caters to whatever you need/want out of your birth experience. You will not be disappointed. She is so talented and you can tell she genuinely is passionate about her work. I can't recommend her enough.

FIRST TIME MOM
We worked with Tori as a postpartum doula, specifically for overnight care with our newborn. I highly recommend her services! She is knowledgable, experienced and truly goes above and beyond.
Getting rest during that newborn phase can be so tricky! But with Tori, we were able to get good, solid sleep knowing that our sweet baby was well cared for during the nighttime. We are so thankful for her!

Is a postpartum doula for ME?

I had such a great experience with Tori. My maternity album came out so beautiful and she made the whole process so comfortable for me! Tori truly is so wonderful. I recommend her to all of my girl friends havin' babies.
"I didn't think I wanted maternity pictures, my pregnancy was rough, but when I saw Tori's work, I knew I had to have them."
- John V
As a husband (and now dad), I wasn't sure about my wife's decision to hire a birth photographer. After I saw the photos of my son being born though, my mind is completely changed. What a gift!
"The birth was a whirlwind. One second she was pushing, then our baby was here. It was so fast."
- maryanne g
Tori has helped ease my mind so much. Her incredibly in-depth notes and "I got this" attitude has been life changing. We're all sleeping so much better and have less worry during the night.
"A friend suggested I hire Tori after having postpartum anxiety pretty bad with my second."
but what about...
Hold up, wait a minute!
With nearly a decade immersed in the realm of childcare, my journey has been marked by diverse experiences and a profound dedication to supporting families during the transformative postpartum period. As a seasoned Early Childhood Educator (ECE), my initial experiences in nature-based preschools and as a Montessori support guide instilled in me a deep appreciation for the enchanting world of child development. Serving as a nanny further honed my skills in providing individualized care and fostering a nurturing environment. I hold a Postpartum Doula Certification, ensuring specialized expertise in guiding families through the unique challenges and joys of early parenthood. Additionally, I am equipped with pediatric and adult CPR, first aid, and AED certifications, underlining my commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of both newborns and parents. My educational journey includes coursework in Child Development Associates (CDA), and I am in the final stages of completing my Bachelors of Science in Human Development and Family Sciences with a Minor in Education, specializing in child welfare.
What are your qualifications and experience with newborns? We want to be sure we hire someone who knows what they're doing.
While family offers invaluable support, hiring a postpartum doula brings objective and professional assistance without the nuances of family dynamics. Doulas use evidence-based knowledge that ensures specialized care in newborn development, breastfeeding, and postpartum recovery. This collaborative approach combines familial warmth with professional expertise, creating a harmonious and well-informed support system for you and your growing family.
My parents/in-laws think it's weird that we're looking to hire someone to help instead of just using them.
Getting started is a breeze, involving just four simple steps. To kick things off, you'll begin by filling out a brief intake form, a quick task that typically takes around 5-10 minutes. Following that, we'll arrange a complimentary 30-minute consultation to delve into your needs, goals, and priorities. If we are a good match, I'll provide an agreement outlining expectations and financial details for your consideration. That's it!
And what kind of time investment does this take? We've been so busy preparing for the baby.
If you're anything like me, you've probably experienced the overwhelming pressure to handle everything on your own (hello burnout central). Trust me, I get it. Frustrated by my own isolation and overwhelm, I knew these difficulties had to be greater for growing families. It became evident with each contract I completed that moms and dads were facing more than ever before. Navigating postpartum care, parenting, and the pursuit of mental well-being solo can feel like attempting to pogostick your way up a mountain: possible, but far from ideal.
I decided to team up with families who, like me, believe they deserve more than what today's society, obsessed with hyper-independence, might lead them to believe. By combining postpartum doula services and photography, I'm on a mission to document clients' journeys towards a holistic mind, body, and spirit connection. I've witnessed transformative successes, and my goal is to help fellow moms, MILFs, and MFs connect to their divine feminine energy, tap into the community they've been desperately trying to find, and create a life they love.
Hey! I'm Tori and your newest doulatog friend
