Charity has helped me in so many ways throughout my pregnancy and my labor . I’ve had fears and doubts because of my mindset , I was terrified of the pain . I would have never imagine that my fifth child would be my natural home birth baby ! If it wasn’t for charity I don’t think I would have ever made it , her positive mindset and compassion pushed me to overcome the pain and bring my baby earth side . I can say no more how chaotic my labor was , it was the absolute best experience ever !!!

She was amazing. I hired her fairly early in my pregnancy and we shared multiple phone calls going over just the type of person I am/things I like. We met up on multiple occasions to talk about how I visioned birth and what I wanted. She was always able to get ahold of when I needed help with remedies for pregnancy aches and pains/symptoms. When I went into labor she came over at 3 in the morning to go on a walk/curb walk and worked with me all day to get contractions started. She was supportive during labor to remind me that I could do it and was getting closer with each contraction!

Charity was AMAZING. I truly could not have done this birth without her. I had so many fears and hesitations but I was also firm on how I wanted my birth to go this time. Charity helped me feel confident all through my pregnancy and prepare for the birth, and then she helped me achieve my dreams of a safe and successful VBA2C at home. She was with me through my almost 3 day labor and birth, and she provided she much emotional support and good pain management techniques. My husband also felt very supported by her. I loved that she was very helpful, but also constantly reminded me I was in control and sat back at times to let me have independence and birth the way my body was telling me to. She is very knowledgeable and was invaluable to me during this process.
