Testimonial for tracy hartley
Working with tracy was one of the best decisions we made while I was pregnant. My goal was to give birth without an epidural and I achieved that but only because I had the support of an experienced doula to help with pain relief and emotional support. I had an extremely long labor and tracy was by my side the entire time. Her presence gave my husband peace of mind. He was able to take breaks and know I was in good hands. She also worked with him on how to support me. She was familiar with all hospital procedures and helped us navigate the questions and suggestions from the nurses and doctors. This helped us feel empowered. Prior to going into labor we met with tracy three times. She educated us on the birthing process, baby care, showed us videos, provided support throughout the pregnancy and helped us identify how we’d work together as parents to take care of the baby. When I was laboring at home and having physical symptoms (water breaking, mucus plug) she helped us identify what was happening and it really helped calm our nerves. She is truly passionate about her work and really cares about her clients. She has tons of information on all birthing topics and is very connected to excellent resources. A mentee doula also attended our birth and was the perfect match for us. Having both doulas made me feel like I was surrounded by a tribe of strong women. After laboring for over 24 hours our baby boy was born just after 2am. tracy was working the entire time. She took notes and photos and we now have a memory log of the birth. She is truly special and we highly recommend.
