Tracy Wakefield Southwick, MBSR-MP, ND, HHP, CNA, AMP, has been studying and working for nearly 3 decades in the natural health field. She originally set out to be an aerospace engineer, but, as life happens, ended up on a different path. After receiving a diagnosis for an “incurable,” life-altering illness, she was told that she would never live a full and healthy life. Despite her doctor’s prognosis, she was totally healed from the condition with the help of natural therapies. Thus, her passion to learn and share all she could about how the body works and its amazing ability to self-heal when given the proper tools was ignited and she never looked back. After her health turned around in the ‘90s, Tracy opened a natural health store in Fredericksburg, Texas, hosted a popular radio show and served as the Staff Naturopath at Integrative Medical Clinic. During this time, she received her doctorate in Naturopathy from Trinity College of Natural Health and, to this day, continues to consistently further her education by attending seminars and workshops. She also speaks regularly on podcasts, at conferences and in other events, educating professionals about how to enhance their practices. After selling her business in The Texas Hill Country, Tracy returned to her hometown of Houston and, in 2007, opened Heights of Health when her practice had become too busy to handle alone. Currently, Heights of Health has 6 excellent holistic practitioners on staff and continues to be Houston’s premier Naturopathic clinic, supporting the health and well-being of Houstonians and virtual clients in the US and abroad. Additionally, in 2020, Tracy opened Mind Body Spirit Release® Academy, a fully accredited school to train and certify practitioners in her proprietary techniques (The MBSR Method™ and The Holistic Wellness Approach™). To date, she and her staff have trained hundreds of practitioners from around the world. Her passion is to continue contributing to the shift into a new holistic paradigm for health, educating and inspiring her clients and students to take back ownership of their health, from a mind, body and spirit perspective.

Pat hosts Alex and Ben Townsend, their midwife, Jackie Griggs, and doula, Debbie Hull to share the story of when they discovered their little darling was breech and the decisions they made for their birth, including the lovely surprise ending!

Jackie Griggs, CNM, is a Certified Nurse Midwife who has been practicing in the Houston/Beaumont area for the past 35 years. She is a mom of 5 grown sons, 3 born at home with the help of midwives; two grandchildren and a new grand baby just recently. She has helped mainly with home and birth center births, but has worked in the hospital some as well. She is the owner of a birth center in Beaumont, – Birth Center of Beaumont – and also helps with home births in the Houston area. She has been on the Board of Directors of the American Association of Birth Centers, until just recently, and still is a very big advocate for midwifery care at a birth center or home, for the women of this country. She is also focused on training new midwifery students and helping to increase the number of birth centers in Texas and the United States.

Debbie Hull, Doula, and co-host of Whole Mother Show began learning about birth in 1996 after the birth of her first baby and has been serving Houston area families since 1999. She is certified with CAPPA as a new parent educator, labor doula, and childbirth educator, is honored to be on CAPPA faculty for both labor doula and childbirth educator, and is the Senior Program advisor for CAPPA’s labor doula training program. Debbie believes that it is the most precious and sacred of honors to be invited to care for a family during their childbearing season and is very proud to have the opportunity to speak into the work of the next generation of birth professionals. Her work has taken her places she never expected to go, including portraying Jillian in all the Houston productions of Karen Brody’s play, Birth, but only with the fingerprints of her beloved midwife/friend all over her back. They say the birth sounds she made there, on a stage in front of hundreds of people, sounded real. She profoundly hopes so. Debbie designed and developed the curriculum for an innovative, interactive childbirth class and began offering classes that even dads report enjoying! She believes that we learn best when we are laughing, so her childbirth classes and professional training are designed to be enjoyable and memorable. Debbie is most proud to be the mother of two amazing formerly breastfed and home-schooled young adults, the youngest of whom has been on a nursing strike for over 20 years. When she is not working on her feelings about that, Debbie enjoys movies, reading, and game nights, even when she loses.
