Olivia Marshburn has been a traditional midwife since the 1970s. She became a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) graduating from University of California San Francisco in 1993 and has been practicing as a CNM since that time. She worked in an underserved, rural area of South Carolina for the National Health Service Corps, in a private OBGYN office in Wilmington, North Carolina and began working at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune in support of our troops and their families shortly after 9/11. Olivia strongly supports a women's natural passages through life. It is her intention to embody the midwifery model of care for women in all stages of life from birth through death, including primary health and gynecological care. Homebirth is and has always been a passion for Olivia and she is committed to providing this option for her community of women and families.
Meredith Christie is an assistant midwife with a degree in Biology and Environmental Science from the College of William and Mary. She became passionate about homebirth in 2005 after welcoming her second son into the world at home with the care of a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM). Inspired by the drastic difference in the quality of care and the intimacy of the birth, Meredith trained with ALACE and began working as a doula and homebirth assistant in 2006. The experience quickly transitioned into an apprenticeship. In March 2010 she will hold a CPM credential from the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM). Outside of motherhood and midwifery Meredith plays soccer, bikes and enjoys the outdoors.
