Meet Our Team of Certified Doulas
Labor Doula
Tori is a native New Mexican, born and raised in Albuquerque. She is a proud mom of 4 adult children and lives with her husband and their 3 dogs. With over 8 years of experience as a labor doula, Tori has supported families through a wide range of birth experiences, from home to hospital births.
She is a certified childbirth educator and trained in Spinning Babies techniques. Tori is deeply committed to continual learning and is always expanding her knowledge of labor and birth to better support her clients with skills, confidence, and compassion.
Tori believes that knowledge is power in birth, and that discovering what works best for you while feeling confident in your birth space and decisions is essential to feeling supported and validated during labor. She brings calm, grounded, and reassuring presence to the families she serves. Tori is honored to walk alongside families as they welcome new life, offering kindness, experience, and evidence-based support at every birth.

My philosophy of birth is simple: you deserve unbiased, supportive, and evidence-based care. Birth is not one-size-fits-all. I believe deeply in helping you understand your options so you can make informed decisions that feel aligned with your values. Whether you envision a medicated birth, an unmedicated birth, a cesarean birth, or anything in between - I am in your corner. My role is to ensure your voice is heard, your choices are respected, and your confidence is protected.
In addition to doula support, I continue to offer birth photography services. There is something incredibly sacred about documenting the day your life changed forever - the strength in your face, the first cry, the way you look at your baby for the first time. These are moments you deserve to relive.
When I’m not attending births or meeting with families, you’ll find me homeschooling my children, getting lost in a good book, dancing in the kitchen while I cook and bake, playing with my labradors, or capturing other families’ special life moments behind the camera.
Labor Doula & Birth Photographer
Before stepping into the birth space, I spent 5 years as an elementary education teacher - a role that deeply shaped my patience, compassion, and love for guiding families through meaningful milestones. For the past 5 years, I’ve been immersed in birth work, beginning with birth photography and later earning my labor doula certification. I am working on my nursing degree with the end goal of becoming a midwife soon. Supporting families during one of the most transformative seasons of their lives is truly where my heart feels at home.
