Tricia's Bio
Tricia started her doula journey after the birth of her first daughter about 17 years ago. She worked at a birthing center in California where she learned about birth, pregnancy, breastfeeding and parenting through the doulas, lactation consultants, and midwives who worked in the center. In 2006 Tricia decided to move to Wisconsin and trained with DONA. In 2008 she met her husband and started planning her next birth. After several attempts and a miscarriage they were finally able to have a successful home birth after cesarean(hbac) in 2009, followed by a birthcenter birth in 2013. Though her main focus was on raising her family she continued her studies, attended births and provided postpartum care for friends and friends of friends over the years.
In 2022 she decided to recertify with ProDoula. She is currently studying midwifery through National College of Midwifery via their distance learning program, is training as a bereavement doula through Stillbirth Day and is pursuing childbirth education certification as well as placenta encapsulation certification. She was trained in Hipbirth- The Childbirth Method (Lori Dorman) at the birth center she worked at in California and is familiar in supporting parents with other hypnobirthing programs and many other birthing methods such as Bradley and Lamaze. Tricia is very familiar in supporting waterbirths, vbacs, birthcenter and natural births at hospitals.Â
When Tricia is not supporting families, she enjoys traveling, camping and hiking with her husband and three children. She loves sewing and embroidery. Tricia is also an avid volunteer and was a recipient of the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award in 2020 for providing over 4,000 hours of community service.
Her love and commitment to serving others as well as providing education and resources to birthing families makes her a dedicated and supportive doula in our community.Â
Review
"About 13 years ago, when I had my son, I was lucky enough to have Trish be there with me for my pregnancy and delivery. I honestly can say that I wouldn't have been able to get through it without her. She was extremely knowledgeable and patient with me because I had a lot of questions. She was able to help me when even some of the nurses weren't able to. She helped to educate me on good techniques when it came to nursing, diapers, everything!! If I were to have more kids, I would want her there!!" - Yvonne
