What People Are Saying.

I contacted Tracy at From A Mother’s Heart after an appointment with my midwife. I was told my baby was in a transverse position and I would need to prepare myself to have a cesarean section.

Tracy kindly came to my home, assessed my body and movement, and was able to give me some exercises to help get baby into an optimal position for birth. After a week of doing the exercises daily, the baby turned head down and into the best position for labour and birth. This was a huge relief to us; we are so grateful to bring our child into the world with the best chance of a natural delivery and with my body feeling strong and prepared for the labour through Tracy’s shared knowledge of the Body Ready Method ®️.

Tracy has been warm, helpful and caring throughout our contact and its been a pleasure to have her support in the later stages of my pregnancy. Thank you!

As this is my first baby, I had no idea how to navigate the different stages of pregnancy, what to expect and how to best prepare for one of the biggest life changing moments: giving birth. I wanted my birth experience to be the best it could be with little intervention.

When I met Tracy she had such a beautiful calmness and confidence that straight away she made me feel comfortable and safe to be vulnerable, to be able to talk about any fears or blockages as well as any questions along the way.

Throughout my pregnancy, Tracy was always prompt to get back to me with any support or resources. She provided me with a great exercise plan to prepare for birth and keep my body feeling good. Most importantly for me, having that emotional support as changes occurred throughout my pregnancy, may it be hormonal or physical, was a huge help! We worked on a birth plan that best resinated with me and ensured I felt empowered and confident leading to birth.

As I went into labour, Tracy arrived at my place right away and supported my partner and I through each contraction all the way through until it was time to birth our son at the hospital. Her strong encouraging words, guiding my partner on keeping me in a beautiful oxytocin state and reassuring him what I'm saying or doing is normal, and helping us move into different positions to support baby’s journey down led to a dream birth of no intervention.

Our boy arrived earth-side and the support did not stop there. Tracy helped me shower and dress while dad had skin on skin time and ensured to check in with us. We felt so supported and thankful to have Tracy apart of our birth. Tracy also took photos and videos of our birth, which at first I was not too fussed on however a few days later to look back on them and connect my mind to my body was incredibly healing and special to see how incredible my body is.

I feel so blessed to have had Tracy! I highly recommend her services - may it be through your pregnancy, birth or both. She is an incredible woman with so much compassion and care towards supporting mummas and having wonderful resources! Thank you for everything!

I experienced a beautiful, miraculous birth and I’m so grateful that Tracy was with us throughout our journey.

From the first point of contact to postpartum she was kind, generous with her time, supportive, and professional. By teaching me a variety of exercises and moves during pregnancy, Tracy helped me to prepare my body for spontaneous labour and a very smooth delivery. My husband and I appreciated her calm disposition, emotional support, knowledge and her love for the Lord.

We are truly so grateful for everything and highly recommend Tracy to anyone expecting.

— Teagan, 2023.

Expecting our third baby, we very recently moved to the Gold Coast and didn’t know many people or have any family to help. Once I met Tracy I was so excited when we agreed she would follow my pregnancy and birth as my Doula. Leading up to the birth I felt so supported and I had someone there to answer my questions, because the hospital midwife appointments were very scarce. She was so knowledgeable with exercises to help optimal fetal positioning and with the random pregnancy health questions I had!

During the birth she spoke up and encouraged us to advocate for my preferences, made me feel so much more comfortable with her natural pain relieving techniques, and overall just her presence there made the biggest impact for my husband and I to relax.

If I ever had another birth or knew someone that was birthing, she would be my doula again in a heartbeat! Forever thankful to Tracy for being there for such a huge day for us, as a wealth of knowledge and for making us feel so wonderfully loved!

— Maddie, 2023.

I connected with Tracy towards the end of my pregnancy and expressed some of the small desires I had with delivering my 3rd baby. I thought they were silly, but in Tracy’s eyes they were more than valid! Tracy taught me the small things like how to push properly (I had 2 previous episiotomies) and how to prepare the body for birth (my previous labours were induced). But the main thing she taught me is one of the most important things I think a woman can know when giving birth, particularly if she is getting care and giving birth in a hospital system; she taught me how to advocate for myself. She helped me understand that it was my body, and my birth and my baby. She changed my whole perspective. I am so grateful for her work as a Doula and I highly recommend bringing her alongside you. Whether it’s your 1st birth or your subsequent birth/s, and whether it’s in a small way, or in a big way. Thank you Tracy.

— Caitlan, 2023.

We cannot thank you enough for everything you did for our family, and for all the support. Thank you for, in every sense, being a post-partum doula to me. You love mothers so well, it’s truly a gift from the Lord. You knew exactly what to say to calm my racing mind and how to speak into it as only a mother can. You have such a gift and I hope that the Lord continues to use it to bring comfort and wisdom into other mum’s lives xx

— Bella, 2023.

Tracy is definitely a doula from a mother’s heart. For my husband and I, she was a great value in the most precious time in our lives. She was generous with her time and attention. We felt safe and protected while she was with us. And the highlight was that she was capable to understand me and my wishes and pass that on to the hospital team. I appreciate that she was patient to explain what I found hard to understand and it helped me with my decisions during my labour time. I strongly recommend her for yours as well as we were so happy to have her with us.

— Luana, 2022.

I highly recommend Tracy and I cannot say enough good things about her service. She supported me through all four of my births and was always there when I needed extra advice and a strong advocate. The support I received was nurturing yet empowering, while also backed by a wealth of knowledge and experience. The care I received postpartum I found to be of special importance, as she helped me to successfully navigate breastfeeding and the many issues I experienced. She also provided invaluable knowledge with helping my babies to sleep in the early days and weeks, providing behavioural strategies and nutritional advice. She helped me find my feet when I struggled after having my first, which helped me to become a more confident mother, able to go on and have more adorable babies. It has been so reassuring to know there is someone always there with amazing knowledge and experience who is on my side, and I am beyond grateful for her.

— Amanda, 2015 - 2022.

“We had the pleasure of having Tracy support us for the homebirth of our 3rd baby. We chose to have Tracy focus on supporting our two young children throughout the birth so that my husband could have full focus on me. Tracy came to our home for multiple play dates prior to the birth so that she could build a relationship with them. The boys felt so comfortable with her, and it took so much pressure off us wondering how they would be witnessing the birth. Tracy was extremely helpful in so many ways, we are beyond grateful for our experience. We are still in contact 17months later and continue to have catch ups with the boys. Would highly recommend having Tracy support you through your prenatal, birth & postnatal experience.”

— Monique, 2022.

I was so grateful to have Tracy as my doula throughout my entire pregnancy, birth and fourth trimester. She was supportive, encouraging, empathetic, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond in her level of care for us. Tracy was very easy to get along with and I felt comfortable with her from the outset. Unfortunately, my baby ended up in NICU for ten days post-birth, which was the hardest and scariest time in my life. However, through it all Tracy supported my husband and I both emotionally and physically until we were able to bring our little love home. Tracy believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, and I don’t think I could have done that season without her. I am forever grateful for her wisdom and mother’s heart towards my family and look forward to having her on my team for the next baby.

— Rachael, 2022.

“Tracy was a supportive and helpful presence during my late pregnancy and labour. She was calm and nurturing during my long and complicated labour, and was a strong support network when I needed to transfer to hospital. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tracy or to use her for future pregnancies.”

— Brooke, 2022.

From A Mother's Heart was the perfect doula support for my husband and I as we welcomed our first child. Tracy provided welcomed guidance throughout our whole pregnancy, attending midwife visits and recommending prenatal exercises to help prepare us for a safer, easier labour/birth. She had a well of knowledge to draw from when answering our questions about baby, body, breastfeeding, diet and more. At 42 weeks and anxious, we decided for an induction. Tracy brought peace and light to our birthing space, guiding and cheering us on through labour and the delivery of our healthy baby boy. Due to tearing, I was taken to theatre and it was reassuring to have Tracy stay and watch over my new little family while I was in recovery. She was a blessing from God, a comfort and truly a mother to us when we needed it most.
