About me

Namaste! My name is LaTory (Tory). I am a traveling birth working professional. Thank you so much for taking the time to review my profile. Supporting new families and advocating for their safety and well-being is my passion and something I do well. Even though I have worked in this compacity for 5-6 years, I have over 25 years of childcare experience with children of all ages to include infants. By birth working profession I am a full spectrum doula, birth educator, a newborn care specialist and newborn educator as well. My families affectionately call me the PARENT and Baby Whisper because care expertise is provided, tailored emotional help, and vital rest for parents through my services. My areas of focus are: Understanding Baby Cues: Teaching parents to interpret their baby's signals to enhance communication and bonding. Cultivating Daily Schedules: Helping families create routines that promote harmony. Sleep Conditioning and Training: Encouraging healthy sleep habits for babies and restful nights for the family. I also provide birth packages that teach parents all about the labor process from a mental and physiological point of view, help prepare birth plans, and provide physical support for day of service. Reach out to me now so I can show you how I can be an asset to your birthing journey!

LaTory has been an incredible asset for our family since the day we got home from the hospital with our son Lachlan. She arrived right on time as soon as we got home from the hospital and has been with us every week since. She has a calm yet upbeat and optimistic demeanor, and she always puts my mind at ease. She follows my direction for how I want him to be fed, where and when I want him to sleep, what swaddles to use, etc but she also has very helpful suggestions when I need them as his needs are growing and changing every day. Our older kids love her too, she always has such a nice energy and a smile on her face. She is reliable and punctual, and very responsible. We are so lucky to have her!

K. Murphy September 2023 till December Tory is the absolute biggest blessing to our family. She cares for my twins so well and has seamlessly joined our family dynamic. She is a wealth of knowledge and encourages me daily. She is a natural caretaker and a baby expert. I don’t know how we would manage without her. I get restorative sleep knowing my babies are in such caring hands. My husband and I cannot recommend her enough.

I hired LaTory a month before giving birth in a panic because my 9-month-old was still waking up frequently at night. My goal was to get my baby settled in her room and sleeping through the night before his little brother arrived. With an open-ended arrangement, LaTory achieved this in less than a week! By the second night, my baby dropped her night feeding and was sleeping through, self-soothing back to sleep by the third night. I was amazed. I highly recommend LaTory for anyone seeking baby sleep training!
