About Us

Carolyn Drake, CPM-TN, HCHI
I have been a midwife for over 25 years and have
been part of many different birth experiences. When I
attended a client that had a completely comfortable
birth using Hypnobabies, I became interested in
learning more. I took the Hypnobabies training course
in 2008. I love teaching Hypnobabies and sharing the
amazing journey of pregnancy and birth with so many
wonderful families.

In addition to my career as a midwife and Hypnobabies
instructor, I am also an historian. I earned my Master
of Arts Degree in Women's History and hold a faculty
position teaching the history of midwifery at Aviva
Institute, a private midwifery program.

I have a great desire to connect and communicate with
mothers-to-be and new mothers on many levels,
including education, support, and community.

My desire to teach Hypnobabies came after having my
son Liam in October 2007.  I had a wonderful birthing
experience, and had him at Carolyn’s house in a large
tub surrounded by peaceful music and supportive
people.  His birth changed my perspective on myself
and I felt empowered by the birthing experience.  I
want other women to feel what I felt. After doing some
research, I believe that the Hypnobabies childbirth
program will help women have an amazing experience,
gently and confidently.

In addition to teaching Hypnobabies, I work at a power
company as an Electrical Engineer in Chattanooga, TN.  
I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical
Engineering from Tennessee Technological University.

I have been married to my wonderfully supportive
husband, Damon, for five years.  We have one son,
Liam and an adorable dog, Greta.
