Informational Support
“She was very informative, supportive and compassionate through every stage.”
“As a first time mom I wasn’t really sure what to expect for delivery but the delivery with my son was nothing near what I anticipated. Charlotte made a huge difference in making my less than ideal delivery a learning moment and best of all being able to hold my healthy baby. She was very informative, supportive and compassionate through every stage. We cannot thank her enough for all she has done.”
MY PROMISEI SUPPORT ALL TYPES OF BIRTH
I strongly believe there is no “correct” way to birth. Your perfect birth is one where every decision is yours to make, you never feel alone, and you are empowered by evidence-based information so that your fears can be replaced by confidence in yourself, your body, and your baby. I support all types of birth including natural, medicated & cesarean births. My goal is to help you have a safe, positive & fulfilling birth experience, no matter how you choose to give birth.
