Testimonial for tracy hartley
Tracy’s experience and familiarity with the birthing process gave us confidence we were in good hands. It was reassuring knowing she herself had also “been there and done that” and knew exactly what I was going through and feeling. Tracy was a guiding light for me, someone I trusted and could turn to when I found myself freaking out. She was very cool, calm, and collected, breathing and making noise with me (something I was embarrassed about). Tracy does her absolute best to help make you feel comfortable and put you at ease while in the throes of labor. I feel I could not have done it without her encouragement, support, and guidance.
Tracy took photos of the birth of our son with a DSLR camera however she was like a fly on the wall and not intrusive or invasive by any means. This was something I didn’t think I wanted initially however I am so grateful to have now after the fact. She also took notes of all the milestones throughout the labor which she then gave to us afterwards.
We really benefited from Tracy's in home prenatal classes too, she offered much more insightful information than the standard videos and classes presented by our health care provider. Tracy equips you with the knowledge and know how, so you are somewhat prepared and know what to expect on the day. I wouldn’t have known what needed to be included in a birth plan if it wasn’t for Tracy.
My husband and I are truly grateful and wouldn’t have wanted the birth of our son any other way. I was able to have an all natural, unmedicated birth as hoped. We are so glad we chose Tracy and do not regret a single thing, she was everything we hoped for and worth every penny! It’s unfortunate we are moving back to Australia as I would love for Tracy to be there for the birth of our second child. Whatever your reasons are for hiring a doula, it’s safe to say you’re in good hands with Tracy and her team of doulas.
