What You Need to Know About Hiring Me as Your Doula

You're on one of the most incredible journeys of your life - becoming a mom. It's a time filled with so much excitement, and, let's be honest, a fair bit of uncertainty. That's where I come in. I'm here to guide you every step of the way, supporting you to have the most positive birth possible - as you define it.

If you're seeking personalized support and guidance, I'm just a click away. Let's make this time in your life as empowering and fulfilling as possible, together.

Lets get started

Psst!

Both of my son’s births were supported by doulas, with two very different birth experiences.

What began as my own search for a more empowered experience turned into a mission: to help other moms skip the overwhelm and get straight to the good stuff - meaningful support, calm confidence, and tried and tested tools that actually help.

So if you’re feeling confused about options and second-guessing every step, I can help. We’ll cut through the noise together, turn that stress into strategy, and make this next chapter one you feel grounded in, not just surviving, but supported.

Let's get started

A Little About Me

Why choose me as your Doula?

I bring together almost 20 years of professional expertise, personal experience, and a deep commitment to supporting women through one of life’s most powerful transitions: motherhood.

Expertise and Heart

As a hospital-trained Irish midwife and experienced doula and doula trainer, I offer the best of both worlds—clinical knowledge combined with genuine, compassionate care. You’ll feel supported not only in the practical details but also in the moments that matter most, with someone who knows when to step in and when to simply hold space.

Mind and Body

Birth isn’t just physical - it’s mental. As the founder of the award winning GentleBirth app, I’ve helped thousands of families worldwide prepare not only their bodies, but also their minds for labor, postpartum, and beyond. With me as your doula, you’ll learn practical tools to reduce fear, build confidence, and approach birth with a calmer, more resilient mindset.

And because birth is a team effort, I make sure your partner feels supported too—engaged and involved at a level that feels right for both of you. Together, we’ll create a birth experience that’s grounded in preparation, partnership, and peace of mind.

Empowering Choices

Preparing for birth can feel like standing in front of a firehose of advice, opinions, and “shoulds.” I’m here to quiet the noise and give you clear, evidence-based guidance that helps you feel confident in your choices. Together, we’ll plan, prepare, and stay flexible - so you can focus on what really matters: welcoming your baby feeling calm, confident and in control.

Support Tailored to Your Unique Needs

No two families are the same, and neither are their births. That’s why my approach is never one-size-fits-all. I tailor my support to your unique needs, preferences, and values—whether that means being your steady voice of reassurance, helping you advocate for your birth preferences, or gently guiding your partner in how to best support you. My role is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you, every step of the way.

In my quest to provide you with the most positive and nurturing birth experience, I've carefully curated a suite of unique tools designed to support your journey into motherhood with comfort, care, and innovation.

Some of My Tools

Red Light Therapy
 

Experience the soothing power of red light therapy, a groundbreaking approach to in-labor and postpartum analgesia and accelerated healing. This gentle, non-invasive treatment uses therapeutic red light to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and provide natural pain relief without side effects. Red light therapy immediately after birth reduces perineal pain and swelling and is part of my postpartum care.

Winner Flow Breathing Regulator
 

Breathe your way to a less stressful, more controlled labor with the Winner Flow Breathing Regulator. This innovative device is designed to enhance your labor breathing,, ensuring a steady flow of oxygen to both you and your baby. It's not just about breathing; it's about harnessing your breath's power to create a calm, centered, and empowered birthing experience.

Tens Machine
 

Discover the unique effects of the TENS machine, your secret weapon for managing labor pain with the press of a button. By delivering gentle electrical pulses to the lower back, it helps to reduce pain signals sent to the brain and stimulate the production of endorphins, your natural painkillers. It's a touch of modern technology that supports your natural strength, offering a drug-free path to pain relief and control during labor.

Award Winnning GentleBirth App & Masterclass
 

Access the GentleBirth app, 8 Hr Masterclass and 6 Hr Mindful Breastfeeding Program to round out your birth preparation. These resources are designed to bolster your mental, emotional, and physical readiness for birth and breastfeeding.

Prenatal Meetings - Virtual or In Person

1st Prenatal

Explore Your Birth Vision

Having a healthy happy baby is the ultimate goal but there’s lots you can do to stack the odds in your favor of not just having a healthy baby but having an experience that leaves you feeling happy and healthy - physically, emotionally and spiritually. In our first meeting, we'll take the time to truly understand you: your hopes, your values, and your journey so far. We'll talk about everything from your place of birth and care provider to early postpartum expectations. I’ll share thoughtful questions you can bring to your provider, ensuring your vision and care plan are aligned. We’ll also touch on unmedicated birth options, the role of interventions like epidurals, and how evidence-based care supports your choices. Plus, you'll get your Winner Flow breathing device to start practicing at home.

2nd Prenatal

Personalize Your Birth Preferences

Next, let's craft your unique birth roadmap.

In this session, we’ll fine-tune your birth preferences and spend time practicing techniques that will boost your confidence and comfort for labor. Together, we’ll go through hands-on comfort measures like counter-pressure, massage techniques, and positioning, so both you and your partner feel equipped with tools you can use when the big day arrives. We’ll also revisit laid-back positioning from your my 6 hr Mindful Breastfeeding online class and breastfeeding setups to help you feel more at ease before baby comes.

This is also your chance to bring any questions from my online birth preparation Masterclass—I’ll make sure you feel supported, clear, and confident in what you’ve been learning. We’ll cover the logistics too, from when to head to your birth place signs of early labor, to the little details that make a big difference in how you feel prepared. To round things out, you’ll receive your loaner TENS machine and have the opportunity to practice with it, so effective pain-management options are familiar before labor begins.

By the end of this visit, you and your partner will feel prepared, ready and excited to welcome your baby.

A little Love my from my clients

  • Sheila

    Many new mothers' share stories of traumatic birth experiences, but it's clear that it doesn't have to

    be that way! Reflecting on the birth of our son fills me with joy. Tracy provided invaluable guidance

    throughout my entire pregnancy journey, from prenatal care to postpartum support. She patiently addressed all

    my concerns and queries, ensuring I felt prepared not only for childbirth but also for the transition into

    motherhood. During labor, I felt calm and empowered, thanks to Tracy's support and the resources provided by

    the birthing app. Utilizing pain relief techniques such as the Tens machine and soothing music from the app,

    I arrived at the hospital ready to meet Tracy, who transformed the delivery room into a serene sanctuary.

    Throughout the birthing process, Tracy intuitively provided unwavering support to both me and my husband,

    anticipating our needs without us having to ask. Following the birth, Tracy's dedication didn't waver as she

    continued to offer exceptional support to our growing family. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to

    have found Tracy and highly recommend her doula services, along with the invaluable assistance of the

    GentleBirth app. Truly priceless experiences.

  • Divya

    Hiring Tracy was one of the best decisions I made for my baby's birth. Using the GentleBirth App

    during my pregnancy calmed me down and kept me positive, using the App during the labor process distracted m

    y attention from the pain and helped me get through it. Tracy's TENS machine helped me cope with the pain too.

    Having Tracy around was a great strength for me and my husband she helped us immensely and made such a

    positive impact on my labor experience. I would suggest every pregnant woman consider hiring Tracy for

    a positive birth experience.

  • Malia

    One of the best decisions we made while pregnant with our first daughter was teaming up with Tracy.

    The support before and after delivery was amazing and helped my husband and I with all our questions and

    concerns. I I believe she is the reason I did not have a cesarean. She was with us every step of a very

    long multiple day labor and birth making sure we understood all options and helped us to advocate for

    what we wanted in our delivery. And was a wonderful support for baby and myself post partum. During our

    second pregnancy many years later, she still supported me prior, during and after birth, even while we

    lived in different states.
