Hello!
My name is Carrie. I'm so thankful you're here! :)
A little about me: I love Jesus, nachos, fluffy cats, and all things North Carolina. My husband and I were college sweethearts and now have three beautiful children together. My first kiddo was born at a local birth center. His delivery sparked my passion for pregnancy and childbirth— there is nothing more fulfilling than serving mamas, babies, and their families through the addition of a new life.
My second son was delivered by c-section. This… was not the plan. I was prepping for another wholly uncomplicated delivery and began labor at the same birth center, only to undergo a dramatic change in events. We are so thankful for his and my health, but while our bodies recovered quickly from the event, my soul was left shattered. I wasn’t prepared to pick up the pieces of a such trauma, especially while attempting to care for a newborn. This birth story of mine gave me a passion for cesarean care, fostered a love for all things VBAC, but mostly importantly, became the catalyst for creating my Delivering Hope Childbirth course.

My youngest baby was born safely and wonderfully at our home under the care of midwives. It was beautiful and I still feel overwhelmed with gratitude for everything and everyone involved.
A little more about me: I love colors— my house is a kaleidoscope. I think maybe I could’ve been an Olympic speed skater if I only knew to try speed skating. My first car was a bright yellow truck named “Hannah Banana.” There’s an 87% chance my cat is actually a witch in disguise. I’m super jealous of every woman who planned their weddings after Pinterest was created (totally unfair.) Coffee + thrift shopping with friends = perfect afternoon. And beach over mountains every time. Every. Time.
Warms regards,
Carrie
