Tracie began her journey into pregnancy, birth, motherhood and
family life many years ago. Over the years her fascination with
family and birth has only grown and expanded.
She is the happy mother to four children and her own varied birth
experiences (hospital with interventions, hospital with natural
child birth, home birth, and home birth transfer) allow her to
offer a varied understanding of how birthing parents are feeling
and what they might want in many different situations.
Tracie's journey working with expectant families began after the
birth of her oldest son at home. The amazing circle of women
who supported and guided her family through their third birth
journey was an amazing and transformative experience. She knew
right after her son’s water birth that she had found her path,
sharing that support with other families. Tracie completed her
Birth Doula training with DONA international in 2009 and began
attending births soon after.
