I was lucky enough to have Tracy as my LMC midwife for all 3 of my children’s homebirths. Her gentle wisdom, practical advice and emotional support helped me hugely to get through some pretty challenging times before and after the births. During the labour and birth of all 3 children, she always seemed to know the right thing to say and do at exactly the right time, helping to create a safe and welcoming space for me to birth in at home. She made sure my partner and, later, children and extended family were included and made all 3 births magical experiences that none of us will ever forget. We will always be grateful to her and I would recommend her and her wonderful team of backup midwives to anyone!

Tracey – well what more can one say about such a beautiful wahine who enriched our birthing experience. Tracey has this calming wairua that arrives gently, guides and nurtures and then leves us feeling warm, fed, relaxed and happy. Thank you Tracey for being you and being part of the birth of our potiki. You and Deb make an incredible duo.

I was very impressed with Tracy’s midwifery care. She was thorough and thoughtful at all stages, and I could not have asked for a more caring midwife. I particularly appreciated her gentle manner during the labour itself – we had a lovely homebirth for our daughter, which I attribute in good part to Tracy’s caring yet unobtrusive presence. I also appreciated that Tracy presented us with information on the issues surrounding pregnancy, birth, and postnatal care from a number of perspectives, and I frequently received more than simply the “stock standard” conventional perspective, which was very important to us. Tracy devoted much time and thought to our family, for which I cannot thank her enough.

Tracy was our 2nd Midwife at the birth of our daughter. She also did most of our postnatal care, as Margaret Gardener (our LMC) was researching in India. I honestly wonder if I would have had the positive birth I had without the calming, wise words that Tracy spoke throughout. Those words and her incredible touch (she got all the right places – not easy in labour!) convinces me that we had the ‘Dream Team’ in her and Margaret.

As I’ve said on Margaret’s information page, my only sadness at not having anymore children is that my midwife/woman relationship is complete with Tracy.

If you have the chance to, snap Tracy up as your LMC! She is incredible.
