I am a local home birth and natural childbirth educator and have had the opprotunity to work with Caroline as both a professional, and as a client. She has attended the births of many of my students and friends, as well as my own. She is smart, professional, but also hilarious and the perfect person to have around in a tense moment. If you are considering a home birth, Caroline must be on your list of midwives to meet.

From our first visit with Carol, my husband and I knew that she was the one we wanted to help us through my pregnancy and the birth of our first child. She is 100% invested in women, midwifery and the safe and healthy delivery of babies. Not to mention she is super funny! Every single visit with her lasted 2+ hours where we would discuss everything under the sun. My husband never felt uncomfortable, left out or unimportant with her. Along with seeing Carol I was also seeing an OBGYN … mainly because I wanted to do all the genetic testing, U/S and knew I would need RhoGAM shot and wanted my insurance to cover it(I am Active Duty Military). Although I liked my OBGYN just fine, the care I received from the OBGYN and Carol was night and day. Carol took the time to get to know my husband and I on a personal level where as my OBGYN had to read my name off my record every appointment. I was not able to have a homebirth as planned, my daughter was breech. We tried everything to get her to turn … EVC, acupuncture, handstands in the pool, scrubbing the floor on my hands and knees … nothing worked. Carol offered to help me find a doctor that would naturally deliver a breech baby, but my husband and I decided that we didn’t want to take the risk. I ended up having a c-section. My post-natal care with Carol was just as amazing as the pre-natal. In fact I ended up seeing her for 8 weeks post-partum. I was struggling with breast feeding, partly me and partly my daughter’s latch. We met weekly to work on it and every week I would leave our sessions feeling revived and a little bit less overwhelmed with motherhood. Now my daughter is 20 months old and a real boob-monster! I don’t know if I would have been a «successful» breast feeder without her help. Both my husband and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Carol and would recommend her without hesitation. In fact almost two years later I keep in contact with her. She has been my inspiration to become a midwife.

Carol attended the births of my 2nd and 3rd children and she was amazing supportive and professional! I can’t recommend her enough! During pre-natal appts she took as much time as I needed, answered all questions and supported our entire family during the pregnancy and birth! She is an asset to the birth community and I feel very fortunate to have had her attend our births!
