Hello and thanks for stopping by! My name is Tracy Armstrong. I have been a doula since 2009, was a DONA certified doula for several years, and have since completed my Stillbirthday Doula certification in 2017. In the past ten years, I have had the privilege of working with over 140 families. In addition to doula-ing, I have been teaching as a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator since 2011.
Even before I found out I was pregnant for the first time, I was fascinated by pregnancy and childbirth. It is simply the most incredible thing a woman’s body can do, and I have been amazed by the powerful impact childbirth has on a new mother and the people closest to her. Birth can bring power to some, and leave others feeling powerless. I decided to become a doula because I want to support women in the transition to motherhood. I wish for every woman to have the most positive experience she can. Having another woman who has experienced birth and the difficulties that the postpartum period can bring is invaluable. In short, I want to help both mothers and babies have the best beginnings possible.
I have been blessed with two beautiful children: a son born in 2006, and a daughter two years later. I am incredibly lucky to live in Kelowna, BC.
I have a varied background and continually educate myself about birth practices and how to best serve growing families.
