I've spent years traveling to Uganda to serve those without access to medical care. These experiences have shown me the impact of loving well and giving people a voice. Now as a doula, I strive to advocate for families, support moms in their journey to labor and birth, and empower women through an experience their bodies were designed to do.
Hi there! I'm a board-licensed Registered Nurse, working in Pediatric Cancer Care at Seattle Children’s Hospital for seven years prior to serving birthing families as a doula. My extensive background in the hospital has shaped my intuitive, encouraging presence, and has emboldened my doula practice in my ability to identity needs, advocate for families, and remain calm and focused through intense circumstances. I believe that understanding is powerful and I love partnering with families to educate about their body, their birth, and their baby. In addition to my birth doula services, I offer childbirth, breastfeeding, and newborn education, and the additional cost for education is reflected in my higher fees! I have worked with numerous clients using CARROT

Post a testimonial for Alli Torino, RN, CD
7/7/2024
Alli was our doula for the delivery of our first child on 6/1/24 and it couldn’t have been a better fit! Working with Alli in the weeks leading up to delivery gave us confidence in our birth preferences, labor prep, and nursery set up. She supported and advised all of our decisions from our first conversation through our post-delivery meeting. On delivery day, she was an absolute rock - responsive, available, resourceful, comforting, stabilizing and so helpful. She literally helped my husband hold me up in various positions, coached me through hours of labor both at home and in hospital, worked so seamlessly with our hospital team, and even ran home for us when we forgot our bag in the rush to leave for the hospital! She even took photos / videos of our birth so I could relive the parts I was too focused to retain. We had an empowering, ideal delivery where we felt like we made informed decisions at each step of the way thanks to Alli’s prep and guidance. Husband & I would recommend Alli to any expecting parents, but especially first time parents - she was the key to a supportive and empowering birth experience! We will absolutely seek her support again for any future children. 11/10.
