About Silicon Valley Midwifery

Bio

Hi I'm Charlie, a licensed midwife in California, and have been practicing hybrid care for over 2 years in the Bay Area. My healthcare approach blends allopathic and holistic methods, tailored to meet each individual's unique cultural, emotional, spiritual, and physical needs. I recognize that standard care models may not fit each family, and I aim to customize care for the best outcomes in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journeys.

Q&A

Q: What are your certifications and trainings?

A: Bachelor of Midwifery (BSM) Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) Licensed Midwife (LM) Neonatal resuscitation program (NRP) CPR-BLS Breech Without Boarders Evaluation of Latch, assessing tongue & lip ties of the newborn

Q: What locations or areas do you serve?

A: Home Birth I provide services in Santa Clara County Hybrid Care I provide servcies in Santa Clara, San Mateo, Santa Cruz & Alameda Counties

Q: What drew you into working with parents-to-be?

A: After 20 years in the tech industry, I felt called to empower women by providing options I did not see available to most in the U.S. I feel the moral and ethical duty of a healthcare provider is to inform and empower their patients, not choose their path.

Q: How do you answer the question: "I want your support but my partner feels like they'll be replaced"?

A: It is always the role of whomever you invite into your family to offer tools of support, and not automatically provide them. Using terms like "these are the things we can do for X,Y & Z, this is what we can do to help, is there anything you would like to take the lead on?" Giving partners tools to help by providing examples, not tasks.
