Background/Experience that you think is beneficial to Doula work: Hello! I've been serving the women of New Mexico involved in birth work for 27 years. I have been certified childbirth educator, am a certified labor doula and am now pursuing a 2nd childbirth education certification with ProDoula. I am the director of a doula collective in Albuquerque, New Mexico and a prenatal instructor at a large hospital. I am very excited to add ProDoula certification to my resume.
What led you to become a Doula?: After my first 2 babies and learning so much "on the job" I wanted to share what I had learned with other women and encourage them to be informed and empowered consumers in the birthing world. I had a lot of support for family and friends as I ventured into parenting but I knew everyone did not and I wanted to be there, to come alongside women and offer a helping hand, encouraging words and information to new moms.
What are some positive comments made about you by other people?:
“We loved working with Tracy and truly believe that her support and guidance helped us to have a wonderful birth experience.” Maya
“Tracy never put any of her own personal beliefs into her practice or made us feel like we had to do things her way or anyone else’s. She just helped us have the birth we wanted and made sure our wishes were respected. ” Lise
“This class was so fun and I learned so much. I feel so much more prepared for my birth now.” Ashley
