Doran Richards, Denyse Phelps, Morgan Williams, and Clare Muczynski are all deeply passionate about supporting growing families and are excited to serve you at Grace Midwifery. Our goal is to build community and connection through maternity care. 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 supported 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.

For generations, Black women were the backbone of healthcare in the American South.

Before hospitals were accessible — or even welcoming — Black midwives safely delivered most babies, passed down medical knowledge, and held entire communities together.

This history is rarely taught, but it shaped public health in America.

Black history didn’t just survive —
it sustained life.

We are so happy to announce another beautiful, handsome, baby born! This little fellow has come earth side and we’re just so grateful for the Creator’s design for a pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. Repeat clients means so much and my heart is so happy to see them holding their newborns!
