About Tracy
I am a Licensed Midwife, Certified Professional Midwife, and Craniosacral Therapist serving families in LA and Ventura Counties. Over the last 14 years, I’ve attended close to 500 births and supported countless families through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
My Journey
- Began with childbirth education & doula training (Bradley Method, Hipbirth, ALACE, PBi)
- Apprenticeships with LA home birth midwives
- Two months of training in Bali with CNN Hero and midwife Robin Lim
- Licensed in California since 2011
Training with Carol Gray, Craniosacral Therapist and Mentor in Portland, Oregon - Continued training with the Upledger Institute in Craniosacral Therapy since 2019
- Holistic Pelvic Care (a gentle internal manual therapy to support the pelvic bowl)
My Approach
I see myself as both a guardian of normal, healthy birth and a companion through the transformational journey into parenthood. My care blends evidence-based practice with holistic modalities such as herbalism, homeopathy, and Craniosacral Therapy.
Personal Note
I birthed all three of my children at home, and involving siblings in birth is a passion of mine. Writing about the families I’ve served in The Birth Yurt has deepened my gratitude for this calling.

Tracy created and held a space of love, compassion and support that was exactly what we had envisioned for the birth of our daughter. Her knowledge and experience made us feel safe and well informed in our decisions, this continued after the birth as she provided amazing in home postpartum care for our baby and us as parents.
We could not have been more blessed having Tracy as part of our support team throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum!
