Testimonial for Tracy Abney

Of all the childbirth classes we took and of all the books on pregnancy we bought, the single best thing my husband and I did in preparation for the birth of our daughter was hiring Tracy.

Professional and compassionate, Tracy provided us from the very beginning with a clear picture of her role in our daughter's birth. Her primary part was to be supportive, and she absolutely was, not only the day of our daughter's birth, but also in the weeks leading up to it and in the weeks after as well.

Tracy was available and interested in whatever would help us make the best decisions for our pregnancy. She corresponded with me via text message throughout to answer questions and to address concerns and always inquired about our doctor's visits. The day of our delivery, I texted her at 2:30 AM, to confirm that my water had broken. She answered me right away, talked me through the next steps, and asked we give her a 30 minutes heads up for when we needed her at the hospital. When she arrived, she began to create a safe and peaceful space for our labor. I uonderstand from my husband that she never stopped moving, never stopped being tuned in. Her presence and knowledge was a huge comfort to me. She was never obtrusive. She was nonstop encouraging of me and made sure my husband was supported as well.

After our daughter was born, Tracy helped me to get her latched on, she made sure everyone who needed to be in the room was, and then she slipped out as quietly as she had come in.

Tracy is genuine, kind, and extremely knowledgeable, with vast expertise in her profession. She is levelheaded and reasonable, and highly respected among professional peers.

It was a privilege to work with Tracy and it is an absolute honor to recommend her. We could not feel more grateful for having her in our lives and for her role in the birth of our daughter, and I will forever consider her to be a dear and true friend.
