“Tracy and Trina provided exceptional support to me before, during and after labor and delivery. Their personal touch helped me feel comfortable and confident throughout my birth process! They did a great job helping me understand what I might expect during labor and delivery and then supported my spouse and I in adjusting our birth plan as L&D unfolded. ”

“I hired a doula because my first birth ended in a c-section which in hindsight I felt was very unnecessary. Unfortunately my second birth didn’t go as planned either but the difference in having a doula by my side helped tremendously in my acceptance of the outcome. I knew we had exhausted all efforts and I was at peace with my birth. Deandra and Tracy were awesome! If how you birth matters, a doula is highly recommended!”

“I really looked forward to our nights with our doula, not only because I got to sleep better, but because I got to talk about everything with her before I went to sleep.  She provided so much support and motivation throughout the early hard weeks.”

“Tracy and her team were a light during my very difficult birth and postpartum experience. I highly recommend using them, especially if you are going from one child to two. They helped me at home with my younger child and were able to go into the NICU with us to see our baby when my husband could go. They also connected me with a great therapist when I was struggling during my postpartum period. I wish I had them during my first birth experience. DOULAS ARE SPECIAL PEOPLE!”

“Tracy saved us from what would have been a very difficult and lonely postpartum period during a pandemic. I was worried that I had waited too long to hire a postpartum doula and Tracy came through with an amazing doula who instantly became a part of our family. I had so much confidence in the covid precautions her doulas were taking. It was wonderful to not have to worry about compromising our newborn’s safety.”

“(The doula services) were tailored to meet our specific needs, which was really amazing; we didn’t feel any pressure to create a birth process that wasn’t consistent with what we wanted. We weren’t sure to expect but our experience was wonderful! Having our doula meet us before our birth and her presence during labor was a huge help, especially with minimizing my husband’s anxiety since it was his first child. Our doula was a wonderful advocate and supportive resource for me as well, and I would highly recommend them to anyone experiencing pregnancy!”

“After days of feeling like a ‘failure mom’ to both my toddler and newborn, they all helped me to get sleep and mentally lifted my spirits which made me a better mom. They were all above and beyond my expectations. Aside from taking amazing care of my newborn, they were kind and helpful with my toddler and upkeep of my home. ”

“I learned from my doula what to expect during labor and delivery, which helped me make educated decisions about the birth experience. Tracy helped me with nursing techniques, ways in which to calm my baby, and recognizing early cues for feeding. I felt comfortable sharing with her what I perceived as my weaknesses and she helped me turn them into strengths. She’s amazing!”

“I immediately felt warmth and at east with my doulas Tracy and Trina. I had full confidence in them - I never felt judged or hesitant - only trusting in their partnership. My doula team was the perfect combination of professionalism and supporting a mother in her approach to her perfect birth. My birth did not go as planned however the doulas adapted and supported along every step forward with compassion and experience, which gave me and my family the security we needed more than ever at that time. ”

“My doula provided me with the emotional support I needed during my birth, and her extensive knowledge and experience in the birth setting really set my husband at ease knowing she had our backs throughout the whole experience. She exceeded my expectations by helping me through my early labor over the phone when I was feeling some confusion and fear. She really supported me beyond the hospital room. I had such a positive experience with my doula team! From the childbirth class, to the labor doula, and all of the postpartum doulas that supported me on my journey of motherhood, I really felt as though they had the best interest of Jackson and I at heart. They were so supportive to me at such a vulnerable time, and I will be forever grateful!”

“Our postpartum doula, Tracy’s, calm demeanor and knowledge of infant behavior and nursing helped us immensely as we added twins to our family of four. She joined us the night we came home from the hospital and immediately fit into our family as she cared for our twins and for me as I recovered from my c-section. She surpassed every expectation I had! I was worried about being judged for having a scheduled c-section and for using formula for a while as my twins learned to nurse, but I was met with nothing but love and support. She made the transition from two to four smooth and even enjoyable, when what I expected was a lot of stress.”

“We used Tracy and her team for postpartum overnight care. The doulas and Tracy were FANTASTIC! We were able to get much needed sleep so we could focus on Jonah during the day. Tracy was on top of everything and always made us feel better when we were overwhelmed. She was very responsive and would always accommodate us. We would highly recommend this doula group! ”

“I always thought that doulas were just an “extra” service that people with extra money or home birth women used. As a nurse, I never thought I would need that service. Doulas of Berks County went above and beyond any expectations I had and was very much needed in the room with my husband and mother. I would never go through labor again without them!”

“As physicians during covid with premature infants, we were acutely aware of covid risks and worried about how to get the help we needed without putting our babies in harms way. Tracy and her team were great to work with and were very proactive with precautions while allowing us space to come to the decisions that were right for us. They wore masks the whole time, changed outfits when coming in and vigilant about hand hygiene. I really felt like Tracy cared just as much about my childrens’ safety as I did. Despite the situation not being ideal, we felt comfortable in her hands and relieved to have great help amidst such stressful times.”

“My doulas hold a special place in my heart. Since having them as labor doulas at my home birth in 2018, they have continued to support me throughout my motherhood journey in more ways than they know. From advice, or sitting with my boys so I can take 5 minutes to myself, to amazing friendships, I truly feel like the most special mama to them. And I’m positive that they make sure all their mamas to be feel the same.”

“I can honestly say that I love Tracy! She helped me get through the rough postpartum period with my firstborn.  Everything was such a blur those first few weeks and I didn’t even know what I would have her do to help me, but luckily she was so experienced that she knew exactly what to do to help me. I thought I knew everything there was to know about babies because I had 5 nephews but I was wrong.  It was all so different with my own. Thankfully, Tracy is a baby expert and gave me so many wonderful tips.  She even picked up on my baby’s minor acid reflux.  I would have never identified that myself and because Tracy pointed it out, I was able to follow her tips when feeding my son, which I think helped him sleep much better.  I call Tracy the baby whisperer because she’s so good at calming babies and getting them to sleep.  She was so wonderful that I hired her 3 years later to be my birth doula with my second baby.  Tracy was very supportive and she was always available when I needed her leading up to my delivery.  She did exactly what I had asked her to do during my labor and I was lucky enough to have the birth of my dreams.  I think every woman should have this kind of support before, during and after birth. ”

“Doulas of Berks County’s support exceeded our expectations and made my birth experience much smoother. They sought out opportunities to serve us from massages and counter pressure to staying late and making the dad-to-be’s bed during the C-section. They provided useful and relevant suggestions before and during the delivery, and remained encouraging and considerate even when circumstances were changing. Doulas of Berks County’s support during your labor will reduce your stress and help deliver the best birthing experience you can have!”

“Having Tracy meet with us before our birth and her prescence during labor was huge help, especially with minimizing my husband’s anxiety surrounding having his first child. She was a wonderful advocate and supportive resource for me as well, and I would highly recommend Doulas of Berks County to anyone experiencing pregnancy!”

“I didn’t realize until after my birth just how much I needed my doulas. They helped me push through and stay calm during my labor by just holding my hand. They helped me breathe and kept my husband calm, too. Having Doulas of Berks County as my doulas was such an amazing experience!”

“Our postpartum doulas were a tremendous help, and essential the day we came home. They really put us at ease that day. They were encouraging, supportive, and very reassuring. They took a genuine interest in our baby and family needs, which I greatly appreciated.”

“Doulas of Berks County came to the rescue in the first few days as I struggled with breastfeeding. It is supposed to be natural, right? Well, my story was anything but natural. Luckily I called Tracy and she fit me into her busy schedule that very afternoon. She was patient, kind, honest, and I could tell she was a special person. Having her by my side for questions and help was just the support I needed as a new mother. ”

“Tracy did a fantastic job with my placenta encapsulation. She was timely and very professional, making me feel confident that it was all being taken care of and I could just enjoy my first few days postpartum. She offered such helpful breastfeeding advice during our lactation consult as well. After her help, baby and I were finally able to latch without pain. I highly recommend Tracy and Doulas of Berks County for postpartum support!”

“Tracy was great, she presented a very warm and supportive demeanor and freely offered tips on breastfeeding and other areas while performing my placenta encapsulation. I plan to use Doulas of Berks County’s services for my next birth!”

“Tracy did an excellent job at working with our requests and wants. She was great at taking time and explaining things to us during our placenta encapsulation. We appreciate her efforts!”
