Hi, I’m Ms. Tory—yes, the same person you see here as Tory W! I’m the founder and Creative Director of The Maternal Concierge. Take a moment to look me up and read the reviews from families I’ve supported. I’ll wait. Now that you’re back, let me share the heart behind this network. After more than 30 years caring for children and supporting families, I’ve seen how often parents navigate pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood without enough connected support. They may find someone for one need, then feel alone trying to figure out what comes next. That’s why I created The Maternal Concierge alongside trusted colleagues in Virginia’s perinatal community: to help fill those gaps and build continuity of care. We connect families with doulas, newborn care specialists, lactation support, mental health professionals, wellness providers, and postpartum support teams. Our shared purpose is to care for the whole family and help parents feel seen, supported, and less alone. I’m also the founder of Whispering Lullabies and creator of the Sacred Sleep Method, a gentle, nervous-system-informed approach centered on connection, regulation, and emotional safety. Whether I’m supporting a family directly or connecting them with another professional, my goal is the same: to help parents feel heard, confident, and supported through each new chapter. If you’re unsure what kind of support you need, that’s a good place to begin. Let’s help you find your village.

Hi! I’m a birth doula serving the greater Fredericksburg (NOVA) area. I am certified through A Woman Who Serves Doula Training (AWWS) and I am honored to be a part of the community of support for women and their journey into motherhood! I believe that birth is sacred and work to affirm that as I serve you and your growing family.

Greetings, My name is Shaniqua Moore. I am a Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula. I have over 15 years of experience in the human service and healthcare field, collaborating with organizations to assist the community in wellness. I am also a Qualified Mental Health Professional and a educator.

I know firsthand how invaluable doula support is. As an RN, I thought I was well-prepared for childbirth. At the urging of my midwife, I sought doula support for the birth of my 1st baby. My doula’s physical & emotional presence during a long labor & strenuous delivery was crucial, & I left the experience convinced that a doula should be present at every birth. Soon my friends began to come to me for birthing support, & I attended births as a friend & advocate. I fell in love with birth work & completed doula training with ToLabor in April 2020. I help my clients navigate their options to make informed decisions that work well for their family & their goals. I want to make sure you are seen & heard. I love walking alongside families, encouraging & educating them along the way. With 7 years of hospital nursing experience, I understand the ins & outs of the hospital system. As a mom of 3, I know the transition into parenthood is no small thing—I want to be a part of your village!

My name is Ashley Gopaul. I am a state certified full spectrum Doula & Certified Lactation Consultant. I started my journey as a doula in 2021 while finishing my last semester at VCU with my Bachelors in Health Sciences. I started with Birth In Color RVA as an intern finishing my requirements for graduation and left my internship ….as a doula ! Working as a doula is truly such a rewarding field as I am allowed the opportunity to create a safe space for my clients to be vulnerable, empowered, deconstruct stigmas, and really get into their lives to optimize a safe birth as well as set them up for a successful start to parenthood. With the help of my mentor and experience, I then opened “Lily’s Birth Boutique,” to further expand support to my community. Whether I am helping a first time or a fifth time parent, every experience is so unique and is truly a learning experience even for myself. On a personal note, my side interests and hobbies include playing with interior design, spending time with family, and dance !

My name is Sasha, and I am a mom of two with a passion for birth education and support. I am a certified full-spectrum birth and bereavement doula for any and all types of people and births, as well as a Certified Lactation Counselor. I believe birth is a sacred experience, and you deserve a doula that honors and facilitates that!

I am a Jesus follower, invested mom, joyful homeschooler, a passionate Birth Doula, Christian Childbirth Educator and Breastfeeding Counselor. I accompany women in labor to help ensure a safe and satisfying birth experience. I have received education and completed training for the doula’s role from DONA International and Hartland College, School of Midwifery. I draw on my knowledge and experience to provide emotional and spiritual support, physical comfort and, as needed, communication with the staff to make sure that you have the information you need to make informed decisions in labor. I can provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, make suggestions for labor progress and help with relaxation, prayer, soothing touch, positioning and other techniques for comfort.

Elise also attended the University of Georgia and Piedmont College and holds a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies. She is a mother to Theo and Georgia and is married to Todd.
