Namaste! I’m Tory Whitney; birth and postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, sleep consultant, mindfulness and Hypno Babies, educator, intuitive guide, and author of Sacred Sleep on Amazon. I am the founder of Whispering Lullabies, bringing 7 years of perinatal experience and over 30 years of hands-on childcare experience into the families I serve. I support parents through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and infant sleep with a calm, regulation-first, whole-family approach that honors both science and intuition. As a sleep consultant, my work is guided by a core belief: sleep is not forced or trained through distress—it is conditioned through safety, nervous-system regulation, and connection. I blend evidence-based physiology, nervous-system education, mindfulness, and intuitive attunement to help babies and parents settle into sustainable sleep rhythms—without rigid or one-size-fits-all methods. My birth and postpartum services mirror this belief. I believe parenthood is more than a transition—it is a sacred awakening. My mission is to help families feel seen, supported, and deeply aligned with their instincts as they move through birth, bonding, and beyond. Through in-home and virtual care, I hold space for families to soften, settle, and trust themselves—one breath, one night, one season at a time.

I’m a therapist--- but I’m also a partner and momma to a sassy 4 year old and many fur babies. When I’m not working or parenting, I’m usually found outside with my horse, in my garden, or in a hammock or a swing. I have been honored to work with exclusively with parents for the last several years in my work as an outpatient therapist. I love being able to help people through this really dynamic and growing season in their lives.

Reid Byrne, Founder of Mother Nurture Midwifery, is a Certified Nurse-Midwife and Adjunct Clinical Professor who has worked in a full-scope, hospital-based midwifery practice. Reid’s quest to enrich the mind, body and spirit has guided her inspiring career, culminating in the establishment of Mother Nurture Midwifery, providing compassionate, convenient telehealthcare. After earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of Colorado, Reid served five years active duty and two years reserve duty in the United States Marine Corps as a Communications Information Systems officer. During this time, she provided pastoral counseling while facilitating spiritual growth retreats for the military and their families. Reid’s spiritual nature led her to Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School where she earned a Master of Arts degree in Practical Theology. While in divinity school, she became pregnant with her first child. Reid’s own experience of pregnancy and birth opened her eyes to her true calling: helping women through the most transformative time in their lives. She became a DONA certified doula and began to chart a path to midwifery. Reid’s journey in women’s healthcare began during her yearlong apprenticeship with a home birth midwife. At the time, home births were a polarizing topic in Virginia and the midwives who supported them were often ostracized by the medical establishment. Recognizing this unfortunate reality, Reid shifted her focus to supporting pregnancies and births in a hospital setting, while maintaining relationships with home birth midwives, with the hope to collaborate in the future. Reid earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Virginia Commonwealth University and completed midwifery training with a Master of Science in Nursing at Frontier Nursing University. During her nurse-midwifery training, Reid also completed the Caritas Coach Education at the Watson Caring Science Institute and University of Colorado, learning how to be an even more caring and compassionate advanced practice nurse. Reinforcing her maternal mental health counseling capabilities, Reid has completed a post-graduate certificate in Advanced Evaluation & Management of Psychiatric Illness in Reproductive Age Women via the American College of Nurse-Midwives. Reid is a Certified Massage Therapist, Hypnotherapist, Doula, and Reiki Master/Teacher and has practiced these healing traditions throughout her career. In addition to providing telehealthcare directly to pregnant and birthing women, Reid established Mother Nurture Midwifery to encourage the collaboration between birth providers of all disciplines and settings. Having enjoyed empowering birth experiences with both of her children, the first in a hospital and the second at home, Reid entered the medical establishment to foster positive relationships between medical practitioners and the midwives who support home births. Serving as a bridge between these two worlds, Mother Nurture Midwifery connects women, midwives, medical providers and others in the birth community via the convenient and safe telehealthcare model.
