Meet Toria Thornton
Birth & Postpartum Doula | Artist | Advocate for Mothers
Hello, I’m Toria Thornton—a Cleveland native now rooted in the Dayton area. My journey into birth work began with a love for art, feminist theory, and the powerful intersections of gender that I explored while attending Wright State University. I followed my passion and earned a B.A. in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies in 2019, and I’ve been painting and creating ever since. Over time, I realized this path was bigger than art—it was a calling to support, uplift, and advocate for birthing people and new mothers. I believe my purpose didn’t just come from experience—my purpose found me. As a trained birth and postpartum doula, I offer compassionate, personalized care for both you and your baby. Whether you're preparing for birth, navigating postpartum, or simply need someone to walk alongside you—I’m here to support you with open hands and a full heart. I bring my passion for education, advocacy, and creative healing into every client relationship. I provide evidence-based resources, emotional support, and a nonjudgmental space where your voice is heard and your choices are respected. Because while birth isn't always easy—you shouldn't have to face it alone. I'm here to help you feel informed, empowered, and held every step of the way.
