Welcome to Grace Midwifery Childbirth Education Classes with Denyse Phelps, Birth Assistant, Educator, & Doula. I recently have joined Doran Richards, midwife, at Grace Midwifery as her birth assistant, but I am still in the learning phase. I have more than 10 years experience as a childbirth educator, lactation educator, infant massage instructor, and doula in the hospital setting. I am excited to be leaving public education as a librarian to join the Grace Midwifery team to provide excellent care and home births for our communities. I look forward to meeting you at your first class and going on this educational journey to learn more about your pregnancy, labor and delivery, postpartum and newborn care.
