Torie McAfee

Torie is an excellent night doula!
— She is incredibly sweet and took great care of our newborn.
— I already have a son, so I had specific ideas of how I wanted to my daughter to be taken care of, and Torie was very open to that. Specifically I did not want my daughter rocked to sleep or sleeping in Torie’s arms because I wanted my daughter to learn to sleep on her own. Instead Torie sat by the crib and only patted/​shushed her as needed, which worked really well.
— Torie is also very friendly. I enjoyed talking with her so much that sometimes I had to remind myself that it was time to go to bed.
— Night doula’s are very expensive, but Torie’s rate is pretty reasonable for a night doula
— Most importantly, Torie is forward thinking and it wasn’t just about getting through the night. Instead she always gave us a recap of how the night went and suggestions for how we could survive without her.
I’m pretty sure we’re done having kids, but if our circumstances change and we ever need a night doula again, I would hire Torie in a heartbeat.
