Meet Dr. Toya

Your Ally in Aligned Motherhood and Medicine

Dr. La Toya Luces-Sampson, affectionately known as Dr. Toya on social media, is a wife, mother, board-certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist, perinatal mental health specialist, and transformational coach for physician moms in transition.

Whether they're transitioning into motherhood, returning to work postpartum, changing careers, stepping into leadership, or building their dream life from scratch, Dr. Toya supports high-achieving women physicians in navigating these pivotal shifts with clarity, confidence, and care.

Born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, she earned her medical degree from Howard University and completed residency at Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia. After over a decade in clinical practice, she pivoted into coaching, fueled by her personal experience navigating the emotional and physical intensity of postpartum life while building a business and raising two children.

Through private and group coaching, her podcast ✨Stethoscopes and Strollers✨, and digital resources, Dr. Toya helps physician moms advocate for their needs, prioritize joy without guilt, and create aligned, sustainable lives, on their terms.

She specializes in coaching physician moms through the transitions that shape them without sacrificing their peace, purpose, or relationships along the way.
