Namaste! I’m Tory Whitney—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, intuitive guide, and founder of Whispering Lullabies. I bring more than seven years of perinatal experience and over 30 years of hands-on childcare experience to every family I serve. 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 healthy sleep rhythms, I begin with connection, nervous-system regulation, responsive care, and respect for each family’s individual needs. I do not believe in forcing babies into rigid schedules or asking parents to ignore their instincts. Instead, I observe each baby’s temperament, feeding patterns, developmental stage, sensory needs, sleep cues, and family rhythm. I help parents understand the “why” behind their baby’s behavior so they can make informed decisions and move forward with confidence. My approach blends evidence-based newborn care, infant physiology, mindfulness, intuitive attunement, and more than three decades of practical caregiving experience. I provide calm, dependable, and nonjudgmental support without cry-it-out, extinction, or one-size-fits-all methods. My goal is for every family I serve to feel seen, rested, informed, and more confident in their ability to understand their baby. Through in-home, overnight, travel, and virtual care, I help families soften, settle, and find their rhythm—one breath, one night, and one season at a time.

Recent review

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.
