Because the gospel changes everything… even birth.
Meet the Doula
Hey, I'm Torie Mann. Born and raised in south Texas but made Kentucky home in 2014. A few years later I met my wonderful husband, Joseph and then came our firstborn Nora - her crazy birth began my longing to support moms in this journey - then Mia, Bennett, and Amos.
On a Sunday morning you'll find us worshiping at Ashland Community Church. We know that through the uncertainties of life one thing is truly consistent - Jesus Christ. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. That is where we find our hope and our purpose in the day to day. This truth changes everything, even birth!
My desire as a doula is that every mom I join in labor feels safe, confident, supported and empowered as she brings her baby into her arms.
My job exists because motherhood was never meant to be walked alone. That support is needed even before your baby is born. If you think we're a good fit, I'd love to join your support team.
I’m passionate about pointing moms back to the truth of Christ and how He changes everything, even birth. I’d love to walk this journey with you.
Client Testimonials
Liz LaVoie
“I’m so grateful I had a doula for my first pregnancy and birth. I knew that a doula would be vital to support me for my labor but I had no idea how Torie would help me during pregnancy and early postpartum. I felt overwhelmed and discouraged often. Being able to meet with her to discuss my birth plan as well as send my questions via texts was such a blessing to me! I experienced anxiety leading up to my birth but I was so grateful to have Torie to help my husband and I stay calm, confident, and focused. Along with my midwife, I truly believe Torie played a role as a member of my birth team to help me be able to experience a positive unmedicated birth in a hospital and even offered support and encouragement in my breastfeeding journey. As a new mom, it’s common to feel alone and burdened but Torie was a friend and “mom mentor” to me in many ways. I’m forever grateful for the work that Torie does!”

“As a first time mom I feel that birthing with a doula, specifically Torie, was vital to my babies health. When I met Torie I was 20 weeks pregnant with my perfectly healthy twin girls, and the hospital I was with was already planning to induce delivery at 35 weeks. I knew that was way too early, and I constantly felt something was off with hospital staff but didn't have the birth education/confidence to push back. Torie's service helped me and my husband make more educated decisions that lead to beautiful, healthy, twin babies born at 40 weeks gestation!!
As if that's not enough, she was excellent to have by my side in labor. She constantly reminded me what God created my body for and provided comfort through painful contractions and very long labor. I would definitely recommend doula services for all first time moms!”
