She saved our second birth and first homebirth experience! —Adrianna, Little Elm

Traci was my midwife for my first non-hospital birth and she encouraged, uplifted, and empowered me to give birth naturally in the birth center. She is calming, she is experienced, and she is such a wonderful presence. She educates every step of the way, so not only myself but also my husband and my kids were learning and growing together as we moved through my pregnancy. —Amanda, Lewisville

Delivered 2 of our babies! —Amanda, Coppell

Traci has made the pregnancy and birth process so smooth and enjoyable for me and my family. My husband and my son love to come to appointments. She had great recommendations to help me achieve my unmedicated birth dreams. —Amanda, Allen

The midwives at Birthpointe took exceptional care of me during my pregnancy. I had the most beautiful labor and delivery in their facility where I felt safe and well cared for. They loved on me and my baby at all of our follow up visits and made me feel like family. —Amy, Springtown

Traci and her practice gave me an incredible home birth. I’ll remember it for the rest of my life. —Ariel, Grapevine

I cannot express how immensely Traci has blessed my family, and loved and cared for me through pregnancies, births, PPD, and, sadly, miscarriage. She is like an anchor when things get turbulent, patient and gentle when I was scared, steady and knowledgeable when big decisions had to be made, and she makes me feel at home when she’s around. She cares for the baby, the woman, and the family as if they were her own, because in a way they are. I miss her when I’m not pregnant. She’s truly the best! —Catherine, Irving

Great experience at BirthPointe. —Dominique, Flower Mound

Traci is the most genuine, honest, relatable, hilarious, and well education midwife around. My husband and I are so blessed to have her as our midwife for our first baby! We definitely got spoiled with her, and we would 1000% recommend her to anyone having a baby. —Hannah, Plano

The women at BirthPointe were so compassionate and supportive, they became like a second family to me. Traci was my midwife and held my hand through the entire experience of becoming a first time mother. I will always thank her for helping me bring my beautiful son into this world. —Hayley, Granbury

The experience of birthing our second child in the hospital in May of 2020 was a naturally-minded mama’s nightmare. This included being coerced into an early induction which ended in an unwanted epidural, being forced to first be tested for COVID upon entering the hospital and then to maintain wearing a mask during labor, and not being allowed to have friends and family or even a DOULA in the room during labor, among many other things. When we learned we were expecting another precious baby, we quickly decided we would be birthing at home, without anyone to tell us what to do or how to bring our baby into the world. Traci was an easy yes for us, with her credentials and experience, as well as her availability to come to our home and provide exactly what we wanted and needed for our baby’s delivery. The experience was so wonderful that I would do it all over again and again just for the homebirth experience with Traci. Even my sister, who went with us through the whole process, found it a no-brainer to use Traci for her first pregnancy shortly after. —Hil, Arlington

She’s amazing. —Jennie, Stephenville

I pretty much always knew that I wanted to home birth my babies, but I also knew that finding the right midwife was key to having everything go smoothly and successfully. Traci was the perfect fit for our family — an ideal balance of integrative care that accounted for my preference for natural treatments while also giving me additional options and helping reassure any family members who were concerned over the safety of home birth. We have enjoyed three successful home births so far with Traci as our midwife for each, and we love her so much! —Julia, Justin    

Absolutely amazing place for me & my family! Traci CARES! —Kennedy, Grapevine

Traci has delivered two of my three babies. She goes above and beyond for the time and care she gives to all of her clients. You feel like you’re her only patient, and are in the best of hands with your health while simultaneously chatting with your dearest friend throughout your pregnancy. I wish every woman could receive the kind of ca
