This training will be taught by Charlie Rae Young LM, CPM, CLC of Barefoot Birth.
Charlie Rae Young, LM, CPM, CLC is a graduate of the Florida School of Traditional Midwifery and Florida Licensed Midwife (MW276). A Florida native, Charlie Rae was called to Midwifery after her own experience with the over-medicalized model of childbirth. She began her service as a doula by founding Barefoot Birth, and has worked as a strong advocate for better care for families alongside the Coalition for Improving Maternity Services, The Birth Survey, and others. She has attended hundreds of births over the last 13 years, filling a niche with naturally-minded families as well as those who are often marginalized from conventional medical care due to social stigma. She has written for and been featured in SQUAT Birth Journal, Tampa Bay Times, Radical Doula Blog, and been interviewed for the Tampa NBC Affiliate for her project The Barefoot Bus--a fully mobile prenatal care unit operating under the easy access model of care. Charlie founded the Community Roots Collective as a means to provide support to families beyond the 6 week postpartum visit. Charlie's belief is that every family deserves safe and quality care, and hopes to continue to build stronger communities through beautiful births.
