Grace Midwifery offers women, and their families, both home and cottage birth in the Shenandoah Valley. We, as a team, seek to provide each family in our care, with professional yet intimate relationships as we serve them through antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum. We strive to improve maternal and newborn outcomes for low-risk women. We believe that women and their families should be support

ed and empowered in their birthing experience. We offer informed decision making throughout the entirety of your care. We are committed and eager to serve women holistically, in mind, body, and spirit. The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes. The Midwives Model of Care includes:

Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle

Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support

Minimizing technological interventions

Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention

The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section. Copyright (c) 1996-2008, Midwifery Task Force, Inc., All Rights Reserved.

🌿 You're Invited to the Replenish Birth Worker Retreat 🌿

📍 Location: Bluemont, VA
📅 Dates: September 12-14
✨ Spots are limited – reserve yours today!

Dear Birth Workers – doulas, midwives, lactation consultants, and all who hold space for birth...

You give everything to your clients — your energy, your time, your heart. But who holds you? Who reminds you to breathe, to pause, to receive?

The Replenish Birth Worker Retreat is your invitation to refill your own cup. This is a sacred space to rest, reconnect, and remember your why.

💗 Why Replenish?
Because burnout is real.
Because you deserve rest without guilt.
Because when you are nourished, your care becomes even more powerful.

🧘🏾‍♀️ What You’ll Experience:

Restorative practices like yoga, meditation, and bodywork

Deep sisterhood and connection with fellow birth workers

Time for solitude, journaling, and grounding in nature

Workshops on sustainable care, boundaries, and sacred replenishment

Nourishing meals prepared with love and intention

Let this retreat be your reset.
Let this be the space where you are held.

🌼 Come replenish your spirit so you can continue your work with clarity, strength, and joy.

🌟 Happy Parent Appreciation Day! 🌟

Today, we pause to honor the heart and soul of every family — parents. Whether biological, adoptive, foster, or chosen, parents are the quiet heroes who give, guide, love, and lead — often without asking for anything in return.

🫶 Their hands hold us steady.
💬 Their words shape our beliefs.
❤️ Their love builds our sense of safety and worth.

Parenting isn’t easy — it’s relentless, tender, exhausting, and beautiful. And yet, so many parents show up every day with strength, compassion, and a love that never gives up.

So today, we say thank you.
To the mamas, papas, caregivers, and guardians — we see you.
Your presence matters. Your love matters. You matter.

Let’s take a moment to celebrate the parents in our lives — and if you're a parent yourself, know this: you are deeply appreciated.

“Certainly work is not always required of a man. There is such a thing as a sacred idleness, the cultivation of which is now fearfully neglected.”
