Founder of Whispering Lullabies | Creator of the Sacred Sleep Method™
Namaste!
I’m Tory Whitney, affectionately known as Ms. Tory—founder of Whispering Lullabies, creator of the Sacred Sleep Method™, and author of Sacred Sleep: A Gentle Nervous System Guide for Babies and Parents, available on Amazon.
I am a birth and postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, infant sleep consultant, mindfulness and Hypnobabies educator, and spiritually intuitive counselor. I bring more than seven years of perinatal experience and over 30 years of hands-on childcare experience to every family I serve.
I believe the journey to parenthood is a sacred event—one that deserves to be honored with compassion, intention, reverence, and genuine care. From pregnancy and birth through the tender transitions of postpartum life, welcoming a new life is a deeply personal and transformative experience. My role extends beyond caring for a baby. I am there to nurture, guide, and support the entire family as they navigate one of life's most meaningful transitions.
Throughout my career, I have cultivated an exceptionally refined level of nurturing, emotional awareness, and intuitive attunement to the needs of babies and mothers. I understand that babies communicate long before they have words, and that truly understanding them requires more than responding to their cries. It requires patience, presence, careful observation, and the ability to recognize subtle changes in their behavior, body language, and emotional state.
Through decades of hands-on caregiving, combined with my background in mindfulness and spiritually intuitive counseling, I have developed a heightened sensitivity to the unspoken needs of those in my care. I am often able to recognize early signs of overstimulation, discomfort, fatigue, or a need for connection before those needs become more pronounced. This intuitive awareness, supported by professional knowledge and experience, allows me to provide deeply individualized, responsive care.
That same attentiveness extends to the mothers I support. I recognize that the journey into motherhood is not only physical but also deeply emotional and transformative. Sometimes a mother needs reassurance, encouragement, understanding, or simply someone who recognizes that she is overwhelmed before she finds the words to express it. I strive to be that calming, nurturing presence—someone who listens beyond words, respects her experience, and helps her feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported.
Although spiritual awareness and intuitive practices are part of my personal foundation, my approach is inclusive, nonjudgmental, and welcoming to families of all faiths, denominations, spiritual traditions, and personal beliefs. I honor each family's individual values, recognizing that meaningful care begins with mutual respect, trust, and genuine human connection.
As a five-star provider, I believe exceptional care should be reflected in how I show up every day—with compassion, attentiveness, professionalism, and dependable support. Parents deserve peace of mind and should feel just as nurtured, understood, and supported as their babies.
Sacred Sleep is more than my approach to infant sleep—it is the philosophy that guides all of my care. I believe babies and parents thrive when they feel safe, understood, and supported. Whether I am assisting during birth, caring for a newborn overnight, supporting postpartum recovery, or helping a family establish natural sleep rhythms, I begin with connection, nervous-system regulation, responsive care, and respect for each family's individual needs.
I teach parents to prioritize their baby's cues over rigid schedules while considering feeding needs, growth, development, and guidance from their healthcare team. By observing each baby's temperament, feeding patterns, sensory needs, and family rhythm, I help parents understand the "why" behind their baby's behavior so they can make informed decisions with confidence.
My approach brings together evidence-based newborn care, an understanding of infant physiology, mindfulness, intuitive attunement, and decades of practical caregiving experience. I offer calm, individualized, nonjudgmental support without cry-it-out or extinction methods. Rather than expecting babies to adapt to a predetermined system, I adapt my care to the unique baby and family in front of me.
I believe true nurturing extends beyond meeting physical needs. It is about creating an environment where babies feel secure, mothers feel supported, and families develop the confidence to trust their instincts and strengthen their connection with one another.
Through in-home, overnight, travel, and virtual support, my goal is to help families feel seen, informed, rested, and confident as they discover their own natural rhythm—one breath, one night, and one season at a time.
At Whispering Lullabies, I believe the journey to parenthood is sacred, every baby deserves to be understood, and every parent deserves to be nurtured.
Because caring for your baby also means caring for you.
