THIRD BABY.

I recently had the absolute privilege of having Tracy as my Doula for the birth of my third child- a beautiful daughter- at Broomfield Hospital, and I truly cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From our very first meeting, Tracy's warm and friendly nature instantly put me at ease. She brings such a calm, reassuring presence, which was exactly what I needed leading up to and during birth. Her background in nursing and paediatric care was an asset; it gave me so much confidence knowing that she not only understood the emotional journey of labour but also had a solid  grounding in the clinical side of things. That blend of deep knowledge and genuine care is so rare and incredibly valuable. My daughter's birth was everything I had hoped for - peaceful, safe, empowering, and beautifully calm. It as a water birth at Broomfield Hospital, and thanks to Tacy's support and gentle guidance, I felt safe, supported, and as though she truly was in control throughout the entire experience. She helped create an atmosphere that allowed me to focus fully on the moment, and I will always be grateful for how she helped bring my daughter into the world. Tracy is a true professional, but more than that, someone who really cares. Her kindness, attentiveness, and the way she advocates for you with a quiet strength make her an exceptional doula. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for support on their birth journey- she made ours unforgettable n the very best way.

A DAD'S PERSPECTIVE.​​

When we first discussed getting a DOULA for our first child I wasn't against the idea, but I didn't really think it was going to be particularly necessary. After the birth of our first child which was a very long labour, and had some complications near the end, I couldn't imagine not having had Tracy present! She was in control, supportive and kept us informed all the way through. When we found out we were having our second (and third, twins) hiring Tracy again was a no brainer and once again was definitely the right decision and something I would recommend to anyone. As a dad and birthing partner, it was invaluable having another person you could rely on 100% and Tracy was that!

FREEBIRTH

Choosing Tracy as my doula was one of the best decisions I made in my pregnancy and journey to achieving a beautiful freebirth. Although Tracy hadn't  previously supported a freebirth, I felt instantly comfortable with her from the moment we met, after the birth of my daughter in 2022. This coupled with knowing a close friend had used her twice, including for a recent twin birth, I didn't even consider interviewing anyone else as that recommendation only strengthened my confidence in her.

Tracy was never phased by my plan to freebirth. She stood by me unwaveringly, even joining calls with the NHS to help advocate for my choice to birth at home, knowing from my first experience that transferring in simply wasn't an option for me. Her calm, steady support was exactly what I needed. During the birth, Tracy was everything I had hope for and more. Her presence was so reassuring, and she offered gentle, grounding words as I fully surrendered  to my body and trusted the process that is birth. She asked me a couple of times if  I wanted the midwives to be called, to which I declined. I felt safe and supported, and didn't want to risk changing the environment we created. I literally breathed my baby boy out in he pool, at home, in peace. Tracy helped hold that sacred space beautifully. She was also amazing with my three year old daughter, who was beside her, shouting "baby!" with joy as her little brother arrived. Tracy went above and beyond after the birth, and both my partner and I are forever grateful to her for helping make this such an empowering and unforgettable experience. If you are planning a home or especially a freebirth, you'd be mad not to book Tracy. Tracy, you'll always be very special to us-thank you.

TWIN BIRTH

I am very grateful to say I achieved the birth of my dreams for my twin girls with Tracy's support. From the moment I found out I was having twins, I had unwavering support from Tracy with my choices to go against the 'grain' and push back on the medical recommendations and standard care for twins. It isn't popular not to follow "protocol", especially with twins, but I am lucky enough to have felt the support of Tracy and my partner which led to 2 natural (cephalic pool and beech land) births of my daughters. Tracy has been our doula for all 3 of my babies . I couldn't recommend her more. She has the ability to ensure the environment is relaxed and calming, but equally able to hold people accountable and stand up for you in the moment when it is very much needed. If only I was having more babies! Thank you Tracy. xx

Working with Tracy exceeded any of our expectations, we are beyond grateful. The start of our journey needed alot of diplomacy and reassurance, and Tracy navigated this with utter skill, professionalism and compassion. No question was too small or silly. The sessions leading up to the birth were super insightful and useful, largely because she can personalise them to what we were needing. We felt very prepared. When the time came, Tracy was there for every moment we needed her. We felt we had her full attention throughout, and her breadth of skill meant we could be confident with each decision we had to make throughout labour (and it was long and complex!!!!). For us, Tracy's nurturing and compassionate side drew us in, coupled with her extremely useful career background and understanding of the NHS and birthing process. She had our backs from the get go and her strength and composure got us through some tough moments!!! Forever full of appreciation. Thank you Tracy.​

Tracy ran a Hypnobirthing refresher course for my husband and I ahead of having our second baby.Across the 2 sessions we talked through breathing techniques, how to best support during labour and how to advocate for myself and make decisions confidently. She was also the perfect sounding board in the lead up to birth. I'd highly recommend Tracy for all things pre-birth -she's such a calming presence and really put us both at ease. I'm confident that what we learnt during the sessions are what enabled us to have the birth we wanted.​

I really can't put into words how much Tracy's support has meant to me. As a surrogate without a birth partner, Tracy has been with me every step of the way, holding my hand, being a shoulder to cry on and imparting so much wisdom and knowledge. She supported me to have the birth I longed for after a traumatic first birth with my own son. From first contact, birth prep sessions, labour and beyond, Tracy has been amazing and I can't thank her enough. No words or review I could write, could ever do justice to just how thankful I am to have found her. Tracy helped me to make informed choices throughout my pregnancy and especially when it came to induction, with the latest medical evidence and facts, that even my consultant couldn't argue with. She was on hand to go through my birthing choices. Tracy cared for me during labour, when I was at my most vulnerable she protected my birth space and dignity and was an everlasting source of encouragement. Tracy went above and beyond to make sure I was listened to , cared for and advocated for and I just want to say a huge thank you. Thank you Tracy for being my Doula and for supporting us as a surrogate team, your presence really blessed us and I can hand on heart say I really couldn't have done it without you. Our birth is something I'll always treasure and look back on with pride in years to come. Its with a heavy heart my journey with you has come to an end, but I hope to see you again one day. Thank you. xxx

Tracy's kind, caring and calm nature immediately came across- she is incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to the families she supports. My husband and I found her hypnobirthing sessions to be invaluable. Tracy provided us with education, endless resources and most of all her confidence and guidance- to enable us to advocate for ourselves, or with her support if needed. Tracy was incredible during labour, in what turned out to be anything but our preferred plan. With her guidance prior to, we had mapped out a plan b and c, this reduced stress during and allowed us to get the birth we wanted despite it not being our first choice. We were able to use the power of hypnobirthing to sustain 20 hours of labour with minimal intervention for a wonderful experience. Tools that we will continue to use for a calmer home. Tracy help me to deliver our daughter, cared for us and made sure our wishes were our own and respected. We will be forever grateful and feel so lucky to have found her.​

We can't recommend Tracy enough! I'd been back and forth on whether or not to invest in a Doula and reached out to Tracy quite late in my pregnancy.....fortunately she had a slot available for us and we never looked back! Tracy had three in depth antenatal sessions with us and we really felt informed and started to form a really positive vision of our birth. Throughout my labour Tracy was a huge support to both me and my partner, any moments of fear that arose in me, Tracy was great at bringing me back to a positive space with her reassurance and knowledge. It was wonderful to have such a great advocate present who could ensure my wishes were met throughout. If a positive birth experience with as little intervention as possible is important to you, I would highly recommend a Doula and Tracy in particular! :)xxx​Sophie and Sean. November 2023 I am so thankful and glad we had Tracy support us in our first few weeks as a fam of 4. She helped me tremendously with my breastfeeding goals- I am now happily and confidently breastfeeding, which is something I struggled with before. Tracy has such a positive and encouraging energy and helped support my recovery by checking in on my physical improvement and mental health throughout her visits. Not to mention the countless other things she's done, like offer advise on exercise, and the many layers of new born care. As well as play with our toddler for hours, change nappies, make cups of tea, take us to get fresh air, and more!Tracy is the perfect mix of professional and mumsy. I immediately felt at ease with her after our first session when I saw how hands-on and caring with both new born and toddler, treating us all like loving family. Her professionalism shined through to answer any questions or perform light checks on the baby. I would recommend Tracy to everyone.​

​Having Tracy Support us on our postpartum journey was the best decision we made. As an apprehensive FTM who had undergone a tough journey to motherhood, Tracy's support was invaluable. Her approach is empathetic and non judgemental in a sea of overwhelming advice that exists out there in the parent sphere. She supported us with the comfort of a family member when I went through my various meltdowns, offered compassionate advise, and put us in touch with organisations and help that could make our parenting experience more effective. I genuinely belief my breast feeding journey would have been cut short had it not been for Tracy's encouragement, which is something I will be forever grateful for. In addition Tracy seamlessly integrated into our family and my daughter loves her. Thank you Tracy for being part of our very special journey. I only wish I had hired you as my birth doula as well!

I'm not quite sure how to put into words how much Tracy has helped me through my birthing and postnatal experience. I met Tracy during my pregnancy after a life changing event and she showed me compassion, understanding, and kindness. She gave me so much valuable information when writing my birth preferences and she was with me every step of the way during my sons birth when it didn't go as expected. Tracy advocated for me when I wasn't able to myself, talked me through my options and explained the medical jargon to me when necessary. She has played a vital role in my postnatal recovery period, always willing to listen without judgement and give great advice and resources for me and my baby. I am honestly not sure where I would be right now if I didn't have Tracy by my side through this time and I am so grateful for everything she has done for me and my family. You will not regret reaching out, whether that be for antenatal, birth or postnatal. THANK YOU.​

​Where do I start? We hired Tracy after my best friend recommended her and I genuinely feel like I don't know how people go through pregnancy and birth without the support of a Doula. Tracy supported us throughout our pregnancy, even using her contacts at the hospital to book me an appointment to get my anti-d injection at 28 weeks when my midwife couldn't. We had a few twists and turns at the end of our pregnancy (literally) as we discovered at the 36 week scan that our baby was breech and I was Polyhydramnios (my water levels were high) which wasn't ideal as I had my heart set on a home birth. After each scary hospital visit Tracy was there to reassure us and talk us through our options and statistics and risks of each outcome. It was so comforting to have someone there to translate the medical jargon and talk to us without scaremongering. At 38 weeks, on New Years Day we went for a successful ECV. Tracy came with us and supported us throughout, which we felt was above and beyond her call of duty. My birth didn't go exactly to plan, I laboured at home for 20 hours but unfortunately had to be transferred in for a C-section as it was discovered that the baby was back to back. Tracy was there from the start of my contractions until our beautiful son was born, over 24 hours later, even coming to hospital with us and waiting until after the caesarean was done to make sure we were all ok. Despite my birth going off track, I genuinely look back at my birth really positively because Tracy helped us to make informed decisions every step of the way without us feeling coerced into anything we did. We both felt extremely supported throughout the experience and genuinely feel like we couldn't have done it without her. I whole heartedly recommend Tracy and can't praise her enough.​

Hiring Tracy as our Doula was the best decision we have ever made. She supported us in the lead up, during and after the birth of our first child, ensuring we felt empowered, informed and confident as we embarked on the crazy journey of parenthood! She has continued to be a constant source of support and kindness and remains a very special person to our family. Don't hesitate to book her- she is truly wonderful.​

Where to begin, there aren't many chapters to this book. Chapter one-baby blue turmoil, chapter two-Tracy, the saving grace. I hired Tracy as a Postnatal Doula, well, when I say I did, my partner saw how broken I was and reached out for help, that help came in the form of someone I would later realise was the reason I made it through the baby blues. Tracy came and talked to me for hours on end, often listening to me repeat the same thing over and over again without any judgement or questioning. She held me when I most needed it. I had never considered a Doula, I didn't know what they did.... yet the first day she walked through my door I felt safe. I instantly new that she was going to help me without judgement and that she did. I don't think I'd ever be able to say thank you enough. From day one to the last day Tracy made me gain the confidence to let some of the anxiety of being a first time mum go and start enjoying myself instead of just surviving. I honestly can't promote Tracy enough, she's the light at the end of a very dark, lonely tunnel. I don't know if I'd ever got through it without her, not to mention the amazing bean chilli she made me! Tracy also put my Christmas tree up and took me Christmas shopping because I couldn't face doing it alone.There are so many things Tracy did for me, I am eternally grateful, I think she made the biggest difference to me being able to overcome the baby blues and enjoy my baby boy in his early months. If you're looking for a Doula then Tracy really is the perfect one. I trusted her completely, with my baby, my journey and with my anxious thoughts, she really is the best person to have close when you feel so far from yourself.​​

Tracy was a listening ear, a friendly face and hand to hold throughout my pregnancy. I looked forward to our prenatal visits. I also knew that she was always on the other end of the phone if needed. The support and knowledge she shared gave me the ability to trust my instincts which was especially useful when attending hospital and midwife appointments. Tracy also taught Hypnobirthing which really helped me to relax and prepare for my baby's birth day. I felt confident that when I went into labour I would be ready to birth calmly. Tracy's kindness shines through and I would recommend anyone starting their pregnancy to journey to reach out to her.​

The most wonderful birth experience thanks to Tracy! We had carefully planned what we wanted, but fair to say Tracy helped guide us through the many twists and turns of our birth journey and we certainly wouldn't have had the wonderful experience we did without her caring, considered and extremely experienced presence by our side. The best thing about Tracy is that she plays so many parts during your birth journey but seems to have the superpower of intuitively understanding exactly how you want to be supported and when. We had great midwives, but Tracy's experience stood head and shoulders above anyone in the room. Tracy identified issues the midwives had not noticed and empowered us with the knowledge and confidence to make decisions and overcome challenges. Whether it is guiding your midwives to understand and respect your expectations or drawing on her amazing knowledge to help with delivery, or just the gentle squeeze on the shoulder that reenergises you, having Tracy at your birth is like having a guardian angel by your side.
