Hello all, my name is Charmaine and serve as your Licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapist (specializing and prenatal and postpartum massage), Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator and Lactation Counselor. Here at Mama Me Time, we believe in providing our mothers with a full team of support from the minute they learn they’re pregnant.

My name is Rebecca Duerr (pronounced DO-err). I am the founder of Mindful Family Wellness, Certified Labor Doula, Postpartum Doula, Certified HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator, a North Carolina Licensed Nutritionist, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and Certified Placenta Arts Specialist. I live just north of Charlotte, NC, in the Lake Norman area with my husband, 4 daughters, and lots of fur babies. As a doula and nutritionist whose practice serves the Charlotte and Lake Norman areas of North Carolina, I support birthing people improve their overall health, birth outcome, and mental wellness through the experiences of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I use such tools and services as childbirth education classes, doula support through pregnancy, labor/birth and postpartum, as well as nutritional guidance and education for both mother and baby. Providing these services has been shown to increase positive birth outcomes, reduce cesarean section births, reduce postpartum mental disorders such as postpartum depression/anxiety (PPD/A) and postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder, (PPTSD) increase breast/chest-feeding success and duration, and strengthen the holistic health of both parent and child. As you can see, I offer a number of different services. As a NC Licensed Nutritionist, I provide integrative and functional nutrition counseling for the entire family. I also provide doula support, including pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I am a Hypnobirthing® childbirth educator and have new classes starting monthly. The beauty of providing these services is that I can help you in one area or in many. I can see you or your family for nutritional guidance. I can see you for pregnancy and birth support, as a doula. Or we can combine these services. The possibilities are endless.

Simone has been holding space for expecting and postpartum families for over 10 years. Birth has a powerful way of healing and transforming you, and her first birth did just that. The ability to have 2 empowered births the way she wanted, gave light to the need for advocacy, education and doula support amongst the birthing community, especially black families. Simone is a mother, doula, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, childbirth educator and infant sleep educator. She has been teaching and mentoring doulas along the way and excited to dive deeper into holding the hands of the next generation of birth workers.

I’m a tried-and-true newborn care specialist and postpartum and infant care doula with nearly a decade of experience serving families in Morganton, North Carolina. I know that babies are only little once and that the experience is much sweeter when the whole family is nurtured and well-rested. Driven by a desire to help families thrive, I founded Hickory Family Doulas. As a Certified Mommywise Sleep Trainer, I specialize in helping families achieve one of the most precious things in the world: great sleep. I use my extensive knowledge to provide sleep shaping for restless babies whose families need rest to thrive. My light humor and calm, reassuring presence bring comfort and ease to the families I work with. I live in Morganton with my son and our hodgepodge of pets. I love spending time at home with my son in our garden when I’m not supporting families. I love classic rock and solving mysteries as an armchair detective when I listen to true crime podcasts.

I’m currently a ProDoula Certified Labor Doula (CD-L) + A Dona International Certified Doula (CD). I am also a Certified Fertility Doula (CFD), Reproductive Health Specialist (RHS), Postpartum Doula (PPD), Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), and Infant Feeding Specialist (IFS). I know it’s a mouthful but it was all totally worth it. ​ I support unmedicated and medicated births and believe they are both outstandingly beautiful. I also specialize in working with LGBTQ+ families. I am obsessed with multiples as a result of my younger twin siblings, Claire and Cooper. Thankfully, my obsession has led me to experience some amazing twin and triplet births (vaginal and cesarean). I also fully support and love those who birth their babies from their bellies. I now offer planned cesarean support as well! ​ I have been trained in a variety of comfort measure techniques including, rebozo, acupressure, massage, guided meditation, and aromatherapy. I am a certified Hypnobabies Hypno-Doula. Additionally, I have significant experience with clients using other forms of Hypnosis for birth. ​ I have a fierce desire to help clients who struggle with walking a unique fertility path. As the first Fertility Doula in Charlotte, NC, I know just how much support surrounding fertility complications and infertility is needed in our community. I have recently started organizing a collective of doulas committed to offering support to families and individuals undergoing any fertility assistance. Fertility work has led me to find passion in also supporting families with surrogates and those going through surrogacy. ​ Breastfeeding/Chestfeeding, pumping, supplementing, and formula feeding are all journeys that I’m in full support of and have significant experience with as well. Cultivating an environment where you can bond with your baby, no matter how you feed them, is one of my favorite things to curate for clients. ​ I’ve always loved supporting people - the deeply and passionately really truly type of love. There is nothing that has ever compared to feeling like I’m living my purpose. Being a doula isn’t what I am meant to do. Being a doula is what I was born to do.

Helping couples learn about birth is my vocation. For over 20 years my husband, Jeff, and I have been teaching Bradley® childbirth classes together. He gives the viewpoint of husband, coach, and father. I am the one who has given birth to our 9 babies using the techniques we teach. We teach virtually to couples around the country. Our couples enjoy our interactive live classes where the partner learns how to coach and be a very active participant in the birth. Natural childbirth is our focus but all couples are welcome to learn in our virtual classroom. We have taught in San Diego, New Jersey, Connecticut, and North Carolina. We have had couples attend our classes from most states. Currently we live with our three youngest children and have chickens and a rabbit in our yard.

Hi there! My name is Katherine, I’m a Wife and Mom to 3 girls. I fell in love with the idea of helping women birth their babies when I had my own natural birth with less support than I had hoped for. It was still an experience that left me feeling empowered. I realized so many women lack the support they need to bring their babies into this world and my hope is that I can provide that support to you and help you achieve a positive birth experience. I look forward to building a relationship with you!
