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.

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 intuitive guide. I bring more than seven years of perinatal experience and over 30 years of hands-on childcare experience to every family I serve. As a five-star provider, I believe that level of care should be reflected in how I show up every day—with compassion, attentiveness, and dependable support. Parents deserve peace of mind and to feel just as cared for 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 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, nonjudgmental support without cry-it-out or extinction methods, tailoring care to the family in front of me. Through in-home, overnight, travel, and virtual support, my goal is to help families feel seen, informed, rested, and confident as they find their rhythm—one breath, one night, and one season at a time. At Whispering Lullabies, caring for your baby also means caring for you.

We had the absolute best experience with Tory, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment she walked into our home, she brought an immediate sense of calm and confidence that we desperately needed. After just one visit, our entire household felt more settled. She didn’t just care for our newborn—she taught me how to care for him with new techniques, hands-on guidance, and so much patience. She showed me how to soothe him, how to read his cues, and how to manage those fussy moments that had felt overwhelming before. Her approach was gentle, practical, and incredibly reassuring. On top of that, both the baby and I were coming down with a cold, and she handled the situation with so much compassion. She showed me how to help a congested newborn, helped me feel more confident in what to watch for, and even let me get much-needed rest. I truly felt cared for as a new mom, not just supported in caring for my baby. If you are looking for someone who brings expertise, calm energy, and genuine care into your home, Tory is absolutely exceptional. One visit made such a meaningful difference for us, and I am so grateful for her. I am excited to work with her again and ensure that I’ve really taken her lessons to heart.

I’m a Certified Doula and a Registered Nurse with a background in High Risk Obstetrics, Infertility and Women’s Health. I hold an BSN in Nursing and I became a certified Doula in 2023. I am a wife and a entrepreneur. While experiencing my own struggles with infertility, I have come to find that the experience of pregnancy and childbirth have always been important to me. As a nurse and community advocate, I have been disheartened by the maternal- fetal mortality and morbidity rates among minority women in the U.S. I want to combat these increasing rates by helping women achieve their utmost and most desirable birth experiences by provider birth planning, childbirth education, labor and postpartum support. Whether you are planning for a natural labor at home or a more medically assisted birth in a hospital, I am will be there to assist in the birth experience you deserve! My personal mission is to support and advocate for childbearing women of any age.

Wanda is amazing! I had my daughter in my late 30 thirties and experience many complications. I don't know how I would have made it without Wanda. The care she took in explaining things to, helping me reduce my stress, helping me to prepare for my daughters birth was a blessing. She continued this care well after I had my daughter. Wanda provided, additional breast feeding support and guidance. With Wanda you are with family. She cares about you and takes every steps necessary to endure a successful birth and mom after. What an amazing soul!!

Having Jada as my Doula was by far the best experience. Since she was on my case, she had been there physically mentally and even helped financially when it came down to giving birth and the stretching and being comfortable & believing that your body is made for this because I did have my son naturally she was on the bed with me, helping me to be comfortable. She was walking around the hospital with me helping me to be comfortable. She was helping me labor on the toilet. She had the music going. She had affirmations going. Everything about the experience was amazing and I keep on saying if I ever have another child. I will definitely have her again and I will definitely do it naturally if you're skeptical about Abdullah, I would absolutely recommend Jada.

Hello everyone, my name is Marissa Howard and I am a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula located in Hampton Roads, VA. I strongly believe that the birthing experience should be empowering and peaceful. I encourage clients to feel they have autonomy over their decisions during the birthing process. I provide evidence based information to support and educate my clients in prenatal and postpartum stage. I also promote advocacy skills so my clients can feel secure in their decisions throughout the process of pregnancy/birth/postpartum. In my free time, my husband and I keep busy with our 3 beautiful children.

Recent review

We are so grateful for Marissa! I knew from the moment we met she was the doula for our family. Her calm presence and joyful spirit was just what we needed for our pregnancy journey. Our meetings were informative and fun, and we felt so prepared going into labor. Marissa was extremely supportive through the whole process- always checking in to see how we were doing. She was a rockstar through delivery and stayed with us through the night until our daughter was born. I felt confident between her and my husband that I would be taken care of when I was unable to adequately make decisions during labor. On top of that, our two postpartum visits were helpful and honestly just comforting! At the end of our time together, we were sad to say goodbye because Marissa is forever a part of our family!

October 2026

I absolutely loved Mrs. Sabrina . She was very sweet, always available , helpful with resources and physical needs . This was my third pregnancy and I’ve never had a Doula . I heard great things about getting one so I did and as soon as I met Mrs.Sabrina It was a perfect match. I had to be induced for the first time and she helped me with a lot of exercises to get me dilated . I was blessed to not have to do the balloon because of these exercises and getting my body right . I was induced around 12 and had my babygirl by 5 am , thanks to our Doula . Of course the company and help of her coming afterwards also has been a plus . I highly recommend getting a Doula especially Mrs.Sabrina . Thank you so much for your services and kindness.

During a time that is blessing and exciting but also can be stressful and uncertain, Sabrina brought calm and a thoughtful presence into my pregnancy and postpartum experience. I felt immediately that If i was going to share this experience with anyone other than my loved ones it was going to be her! She added to peace and knowledge to a very personal time.

August 2026

Postpartum care is essential for both mother and baby. It is important to make sure that your mental, emotional, and physical well-being are supported and balanced during this important season. Having an extended village is also incredibly valuable, which is why I chose to invest in a doula during this pregnancy. Mrs. Sabrina Cooper, @from_womb_to_mom, is truly a phenomenal doula. Mrs. Cooper supported me throughout my labor and delivery and served as my advocate during moments when I could not remember certain needs and details included in my birth plan. One of the greatest parts of my experience was the love, care, and support she provided during my postpartum journey. I booked her for two weeks, and during that time, I was able to get much-needed rest, eat nourishing meals, and learn helpful techniques for caring for my newborn. I miss her already! Doulas are needed, and I truly believe we should see more of them supporting families in our hospitals and homes. If you are currently pregnant and located in the Hampton Roads area, please book Mrs. Cooper now! The love, support, guidance, and care that you and your baby or babies will receive will truly make your experience unforgettable. Thank you so much, Mrs. Cooper, for everything you have done for me and my family. Your support has meant more than words can express. May GOD continue to bless you and the beautiful work you do. 🙏🏾🫂👶🏾 Mrs. Cooper captured the hospital picture of my newborn. I think she should go into photography. 🤗 Website: https://www.fromwombtomom.com/
