Known as The Birth & Baby Pro, Tracy helps families prepare not only for birth, but for what happens after baby arrives — the part that is often overlooked. Her postpartum planning approach is practical, honest and deeply family-centred. She helps parents think through recovery, sleep, feeding, newborn care, household support, partner roles, boundaries, visitors, mental load and the type of professional support they may need during the early weeks. Drawing from years of hands-on experience with families, Tracy’s goal is to help parents enter postpartum with a realistic plan, a strong support system and greater confidence navigating life with a new baby. Because preparing for baby should also mean preparing to care for the person who just gave birth.
