I’m Victoria “Torie” Cortez—author, advocate, mother of seven, and founder of Guided by Grace – An All Good Things N More Doula Service. I was raised in a multigenerational, multicultural home in San Jose, where tradition, resilience, and faith shaped my belief that strong families are built from the roots up.

​

Through my All Good Things N More children’s books, I help kids navigate their emotions, identities, and place in the world. Through Guided by Grace, I walk alongside families in Alameda, San Joaquin, and Stanislaus counties—offering compassionate, evidence-based birth and postpartum support with Medi-Cal and insurance-covered options coming soon. private pay is always an option and we offer a sliding scale. 

​

Whether in the pages of a storybook or the quiet of a birthing room, my mission is the same: to honor the sacredness of childhood, defend the dignity of parents, and make sure every family feels seen, heard, and supported from day one.
