Tracie has been blessed to assist families giving birth in the Bay Area for over 12 years. She is the happy mother to four children and her own varied birth experiences drew her into her work with expectant families. Her birth work experience as well as the birth stories of her own children, allow her to offer a varied understanding of how birthing parents feel and what they might want in many different situations.
Tracie's journey working with expectant families began after the birth of her third child. She completed her Birth Doula training with DONA international in 2009 and began attending births soon after. Her experiences using the HypnoBirthing method for her own children's births, led her to become a Certified HypnoBirthing Practitioner in 2010 and ultimately a Certified Hypnotherapist. Though hypnosis for birth might not be the choice that every family makes for their birth, Tracie believes that the deep relaxation techniques and grounding and centering philosophies, coupled with the connection fostered between partners, helps all families achieve their ideal birth experience. Tracie's philosophy on teaching families to prepare for their baby's arrival is to provide many aspects, ideas, techniques and philosophies from her knowledge and experience, ensuring that each family she works with can create a plan for their birth as unique and special as they are. To date Tracie has been blessed to attend over 500 births in all settings, hospital, homebirth, and birth center. She currently works with very select families for doula services, focusing primarily on teaching childbirth education, offering placenta encapsulation, and growing her hypnotherapy practice. She is also in her final year of midwifery school for Licensed Midwifery in California. Tracie has been involved with Blossom Birth and Family’s mission since her 3rd pregnancy in 2009 when she attended homebirth support group led by fellow Blossom Birth Alumni Jeanna Lurie. Later, coming onboard as the HypnoBirthing teacher to lead over 40 consecutive class series and eventually holding the position of Birth and Family Program Manager. In early 2020 she decided to take a slower pace to focus on her children and midwifery school graduation. She is thrilled to be returning to Blossom for HypnoBirthing in 2022 and can’t wait to reconnect with the amazing Blossom Birth families that are served each year. When not immersed in birth work Tracie cherishes spending time with her family, dog Bruce and busy kittens George and Wylbie. She is blessed with true and amazing friends who understand and accept her inability to commit to dinner plans and looks forward to new adventures in the year to come. Tracie looks forward to meeting you and being a part of your incredible journey through Pregnancy, Birth and beyond. She holds Childbirth and Postpartum Education certifications from the following:
