Embodied Doula - stewarding birthing BEings
“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.” - Desmond Tut
My longing: To empower birthers to deeply connect to their body as they steward life into this world, to be a pregnancy, labor, and delivery companion, providing support emotionally, physically, and Soul-fully.
Core values: intimacy with the body, empowered choice, trauma-responsive care, breaking cycles, sacred and supportive space, tending well-being, village mindset
I have a passion for helping humans heal trauma, and in birthing particularly sexual trauma, to create the possibility of a new emergent story around this deeply connected relationship to ourselves and our most intimate experiences.
Testimonial:
I’ve been working with Tracy for a few years doing somatic therapeutic work & when I got pregnant I just knew I NEEDED her with me during my home birth. She has been a grounded, calming, & healing presence for me before pregnancy & she was exactly who I needed with me to bring all of that energy for me during labor. We did a lot of work during my pregnancy to work through any fears I had of labor & we even did a few sessions with me & my fiance together so we could all be on the same page for the big day. When the “big day” finally came Tracy arrived quickly & stepped into her role effortlessly as I was progressing rapidly. Labor was intense, but having Tracy there with me through each contraction with her calming, encouraging voice (and strong legs to grab on to) helped me push through & welcome my baby boy earth side! She also made sure my fiance was cared for & included during labor which often times goes missed! She was also invaluable during postpartum, helping me navigate the hormonal changes & sleep deprivation. Tracy was born to be a doula, it was such a gift having her there during the most magical time of my life!
