Charlie Rae is a mother, doula, natural birth advocate, and aspiring midwife. A substandard birth experience opened Charlie’s eyes to the current crisis in America’s maternity care system. Shortly after, she began her work in the birth field with the Coalition for Improving Maternity Care Services (CIMS) as a grassroots ambassador for The Birth Survey. She is currently training with the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA) and works as a Birth Assistant for Labor of Love in Lakeland, FL. Charlie plans to attend the Florida School of Traditional Midwifery with the goal of expanding and synthesizing her many areas of expertise. Charlie believes that women still have an innate ability to give birth without intervention and strives to make a positive difference in the total birth experience for new mothers.
