One-on-one virtual preparation will give you confidence when you go into labor. You will understand hospital policies and procedures before labor begins.

As your educator, I’ll provide tips on how to get the birth you want in a hospital setting, which hospital protocols are necessary and which ones are potentially harmful to you and your baby. Learn how, when & why to avoid the ones that you or your baby don’t need.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

Thanks Goodness tracy was there. All I can say, I couldn’t have done it without her help, support and guidance. She was a guiding light for me, someone I trusted and could turn to when I found myself freaking out. She is very cool, calm and collected and puts you at ease, even in the throws of labor. She does her absolute best to make you feel comfortable and knows her way around a hospital setting. Worth every penny.
- Sheena R.

Tracy is super supportive and comforting. Having Tracy next to me during my daughter’s labor gave me the strength and confidence I needed during L&D. With the expansive knowledge Tracy has she was able to provide me with guidance to make my labor more relaxed and enjoyable! Beautiful Soul!!!
