Claudia Conn and Debbie Schneider are both Tennessee-licensed CPMs (Certified Professional Midwife) and work in partnership to provide full-scope midwifery as well as well-woman care, including Maya Abdominal Massage. We also generally have 2 full-time apprentices in the practice. Our strong birth team allows us to provide comprehensive 24/7 care and support to the families we serve. We cover an area extending out 1 to 2 hours around Chattanooga, Tennessee, and North Georgia into Atlanta.
Our practice is firmly based on informed choice. We believe women and families have the right to determine their own care in pregnancy and birth. With each 1-2 hour prenatal appointment we provide ample time and opportunity for education, discussion and relationship–building allowing for and nurturing confidence and trust.
Our practice is homebirth - based. Our approach to care is very woman- and family-centered. We encourage women to birth where and how they choose and offer a variety of options including waterbirth.
