FAQ

Q: Do you do home births in Charlotte?

A: I LOVE VBACs. However, I am currently not able to do them. Please call or email me; I would love to help you discover your options.

Q: How much do your childbirth classes cost?
A: I do them for free, as a community service and outreach. If you take my class and love it, I encourage you to make a donation to the Carolina Community Maternity Center, a non-profit birth center coming soon to our area.

Q: What kind of classes are they?
A: I focus on the physiology of normal birth, breathing/relaxation/coping techniques, breastfeeding, nutrition, newborn care, and avoiding complications. Classes run once weekly for 5 weeks, from 7-9 pm on either Tuesday or Thursday evenings.
