Welcome!

At Grace Midwifery, our vision is to create a nurturing and faith-centered environment for all women, where we honor the sanctity of life and promote holistic health for mothers and their families. We believe that pregnancy and childbirth are sacred journeys, and we are dedicated to supporting every family—regardless of background—with compassion, wisdom, and the love of Christ.

We envision a community with:

1. Faith-Focused Care: Our midwifery practice integrates Christian values, offering spiritual support alongside physical care. We aim to ensure that every woman and family feels God’s presence throughout their birthing experience, providing a space where faith is a central part of the journey.

2. Empowered Birth Experiences: We empower women to take an active role in their birthing journeys, offering education and resources that celebrate their strength, choices, and the deep connection to their faith. Each family is encouraged to embrace their unique birth experience.

3. Holistic Health Approach: We prioritize a holistic model of care that encompasses the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of every mother. Our services include prenatal education, nutritional guidance, and postpartum support that nurture the whole person, ensuring optimal health for both mother and child.

4. Community Connection: We foster a supportive community for all families, offering gatherings, workshops, and prayer support that encourage connection, sharing, and growth in faith. Our goal is to build a strong, inclusive network where every family feels supported in their journey.

5. Education and Advocacy: We advocate for informed, respectful birth practices and equip families with knowledge about childbirth and holistic health. We work to promote a culture that values life at every stage, empowering women with the tools to make decisions that honor their unique needs and beliefs.

Through our vision, we aspire to create a safe haven for women and families to experience the beauty of childbirth, rooted in faith and holistic health. Ultimately, we seek to reflect God’s grace in every new life, serving all women with love and care.

The Blessings of Maidenhood, Maternity & Menopause

is a clarion call to women everywhere. Doran Richards shares her knowledge and passion for women to change the tide of negativity in our churches, communities and culture with regards to women’s bodies, phases, and cycles. What is often lost to many, ignored, or steeped in deep-rooted cultural deceptions and negativity, is the exhortation to look once again to our Creator, His design, and His purpose. Doing so brings a welcome understanding of the physiological truth, spiritual significance, and a call to action is so desperately needed among women of today.
