What People are Saying…
Before working with Dr. Toya, I felt lost and overwhelmed, struggling to balance my career as a physician with the demands of motherhood.
Now, after completing her coaching program, I feel empowered and equipped to tackle what lies ahead. Dr. Toya has helped me develop clear goals, create a solid plan, and acquire the tools necessary to navigate this challenging phase of life.
One of the most significant changes I've noticed is a reduction in my anxiety and fear about the future. Dr. Toya's supportive yet no-nonsense approach kept me accountable, which was exactly what I needed. I particularly appreciated her curiosity and attention to detail as she delved into my routines, support systems, values, goals, and fears. This thorough understanding allowed her to provide suggestions tailored specifically to my situation.
Dr. Toya's coaching challenged my preconceptions and introduced me to new perspectives I hadn't encountered before. Her wealth of knowledge, combined with her accessibility and responsiveness, made her an invaluable resource. She provided clarity during the fog of motherhood while prioritizing my goals and lifestyle.
To any physician mom in the early years of motherhood, I would say this: Dr. Toya is the real deal. If you're feeling overwhelmed or lost, don't hesitate to work with Dr. Toya. You won't be disappointed.

I started coaching with an eight year old and a six month old, because I felt overwhelmed and isolated. I didn’t realize my experience is typical for a lot of women and there isn’t anything wrong with me.
As a result of coaching with Dr. Toya, my journey in motherhood is much more intentional, and I have learned what I need to do for my own wellbeing. I have learned the importance of self-care and no longer feel guilty asking for help–more significantly, I now accept it when offered. I am more optimistic and feel seen in my motherhood journey–something I didn’t know I needed but has proven to be important and affirming.
Coaching with Dr. Toya is wonderful, though that’s an understatement because of how positively impactful it has been. It was easy to get comfortable with her and every session has been transformational. I have gained new perspectives and explored topics I can’t discuss with anyone else (about parenting, my body, my marriage, and my career). In every session I felt safe and supported.
Coaching with Dr. Toya has been an anchor to my sanity during this intense time. It’s been fun, necessary, and improved my sense of worthiness as a mom and a woman. I hadn't realized how much I needed this experience, nor did I imagine such support was available until I became a client of Dr Toya’s. My gratitude is immense, as coaching has been a pivotal part of my growth and self-discovery during this time of my life.

When I started coaching with Dr. Toya, my daughter was just 15 months old, and I felt completely overwhelmed. I had lost myself in motherhood, and everything revolved around my child. I wasn't taking care of myself, which led to noticeable changes in my physical and mental health. My weight was dropping, I experienced random aches and pains, and I even had stomach pains that felt like ulcers – all manifestations of stress.
My relationship with my husband was strained. I felt resentful and angry, even jealous of his ability to leave the house easily while I struggled with the demands of breastfeeding and childcare. Work was equally chaotic – I was behind on charts, always on Epic at home, and constantly wanting to run away from my job.
Working with Dr. Toya has been transformative. I've learned the importance of self-care and how it enables me to be the best version of myself for my child, family, and patients. It was a significant mindset shift to realize that quality time with my child is more valuable than quantity, especially when I'm exhausted and burnt out.
Dr. Toya helped me let go of guilt and accept help from others, even if things aren't done exactly as I would do them. The coaching experience has been freeing – I no longer feel guilty for taking care of myself. It's incredibly valuable to have someone who understands the unique challenges of being a physician mom without judgment.
Thanks to Dr. Toya's guidance, I'm now prioritizing both my physical and mental health. I've seen my PCP, had my annual check-up, gotten my labs done, and I'm seeing my chiropractor again. I take time every day for stretches and mindfulness. Most importantly, I've established clear boundaries between work and home life.
The changes have been remarkable. I'm hardly doing any Epic work at home now – when I'm home, I'm fully present. Dr. Toya's coaching has helped me find balance, rediscover myself, and become a better mother, wife, and physician. I'm grateful for this journey and the positive impact it's had on every aspect of my life.

As a mom of 3, my youngest was 16 months when I started coaching with Dr. Toya, I loved motherhood but often felt that there wasn't time for me.
I gave so much of myself to other people, not only in my roles as a physician and as a mother, but also as a wife, daughter, friend, etc. Carving out time for myself felt selfish and unattainable.
I only worked with Dr. Toya for a short time but was able to make massive changes. Most importantly, I am now intentionally building time into my schedule for my health and wellness. I am making time for active self-care, such as going to the gym and getting pedicures, but also time to simply relax and recharge.
Coaching with Dr. Toya was an excellent experience! I appreciate that she challenged my belief systems and encouraged me to find ways to better care for myself.
