Professional Renewal Due: July 1st, 2025
Background/Experience that you think is beneficial to Doula work: I am a mother of 2 neurogidvergent children, one colicy with Autism and one with ADHD. I stuggled with my own pospartum experience, was 500 miles away from any family or friends, and had two children who never slept and my first had terrible colic! I remember how I wished someone would come and rescue me while I was drowning! I am grateful that the internet existed as it helped me to learn about how to survive. I read every book I could get my hands on and taught myself how to get through one of the most challenging times in my life. It was as if I was already preparing for my journey as a doula. I thought motherhood would be amazing and blissful, unfortunately I did not get that expeience. I know that if I had the support of a knowledgeable person like a postpartum doula I would have had a much better exprience.
What led you to become a Doula?: I have been a Postpartum Doula and NCS since 2018 and a Labor Doula since 2023. I have helped many families thrive while on their birth journey. I was called to this profession because of my own struggles and I want to help as many others and I can have success and feel empowered in their birth and postpartum experiences.
What are some positive comments made about you by other people?:
“I could write 10 pages on how phenomenal Traci is, but if you’ve gotten to the point where you’ve met her and are reading reviews, let me just tell you – HIRE HER! You will always feel comfortable and safe with her in your home. Your child will be loved and cared for, and I say this without hesitation, you will be a better parent because Traci was in your life.” – Mansour Family
“We wholeheartedly endorse Traci Adams to any family seeking a postpartum night doula. Her dedication, expertise, and nurturing presence make her a great choice for anyone in need of overnight newborn care and postpartum support.” – Quinn Family
“As first time parents, Traci’s experience was invaluable in setting us up for sleep training and all the shifting complexities of life with a baby. We learned so much from her and also genuinely enjoyed her company. We highly recommend Traci as your postpartum doula.” – Carrasco Family
“We have now asked Traci to come support us for both of our children in their newborn stage. To me, Traci is absolute perfection and I only regret not asking her to work with us sooner and for longer. She is warm, kind and gentle. She is patient, reliable, thorough, knowledgeable, and never pushy or overbearing in any way. She offers her experience and suggestions with genuine kindness and never makes a new (or not new) parent feel corrected or put down. I think it can be hard to take advice about your child, but not from Traci. She is genuinely on your team and is able to offer support in… well the most supportive way I can imagine. I still hear her voice in my mind when trying to figure out what might be causing any upset in my 3 month old. I learned so much from her and can’t help but feel like I only tapped into a single percent of her vast knowledge. I simply cannot say enough good things about her and would (and do) recommend her to anyone and everyone.” – Davis Family
“We are forever grateful to have Traci be a part of our family and helping guide us through questions and unknowns. She has a breadth of knowledge that not only comes from constant research and up-to-date methods but also many years of experience with many families as well as her own.” – Kind Family
“Simply put, Traci changed our lives. A naturally caring, sweet, funny, kind, empathetic and supremely knowledgeable and experienced professional, Traci taught us how to care for our first infant daughter and helped me and my husband recover emotionally and psychologically from a traumatic birth experience. Her knowledge of babies, postpartum issues and anxieties as a new parent distinguish her from any run-of-the-mill postpartum doula. Not only does she have a wonderful sense of how to move in another family’s space, she makes herself as present or as invisible as the parents like.” – Rosove Family
“We had heard that doulas are there not only to take care of your child, but also to support you, and our time with Traci proved that without a doubt. Throughout the wild journey that was postpartum life, she was a comforting figure for our family, and we are so grateful to have found her!” – Toy Family
“Ultimately, Traci felt like having a very reliable and trusted friend in our home. Her support was invaluable to our family.” – Stravakas Family
“She is an invaluable resource and we cannot recommend Traci enough.” – Shue Family
“Hiring Traci was singlehandedly the best decision we made regarding the birth and early days of our son” – Putterman Family
